About SparkyHub
SparkyHub is a business management and organizational platform for electrical and construction contractors. It provides tools for organizing projects, people, scheduling, time records, safety documentation, purchasing, job costing, reporting and related business information.
Accounts are issued to a company. The company is responsible for the users it authorizes, for the access it grants them and for their activity on the platform.
User Responsibility and Limitation of Liability
Users are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability and appropriateness of all information, data, documents, files, records, calculations and other content entered, uploaded, generated, stored or otherwise provided through SparkyHub.
SparkyHub is provided as a business management and organizational tool and is not a substitute for professional judgment, regulatory compliance, legal advice, accounting advice, engineering services, safety procedures or other professional services. Users remain responsible for reviewing and verifying information produced, calculated, displayed or stored through the platform before relying upon it.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SparkyHub and its owners, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates and service providers shall not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, expense, business interruption, loss of profits, loss or corruption of data, project delay, financial loss, property damage, injury, claim or other consequence arising from or relating to the use of, inability to use, or reliance upon SparkyHub or information entered into, generated by or obtained through the platform.
Users are responsible for maintaining appropriate records, backups, approvals, supervision and verification procedures for their business and projects and for ensuring their use of SparkyHub complies with all applicable laws, regulations, codes, contractual requirements, workplace requirements and company policies.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where that liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Construction and Electrical Work
SparkyHub does not certify or guarantee that information, forms, reports, calculations, safety documentation, project records or other outputs produced through the platform satisfy applicable electrical codes, building codes, occupational health and safety requirements, contractual requirements or other regulatory obligations.
SparkyHub is a management tool. The contractor and its authorized users remain responsible for reviewing work, determining code compliance, obtaining required permits, inspections and approvals, following applicable safety requirements, and assigning appropriately qualified and licensed personnel.
SparkyHub does not provide engineering, legal, accounting, safety or regulatory advice, and no output of the platform should be treated as such advice.

The customer company and its authorized users are responsible for the information they enter into or upload to SparkyHub, including:
- project information and project records
- employee and personnel information
- time records and manpower information
- safety documentation, including FLHAs and related forms
- purchasing records, supplier and subcontractor information

Rights and Authority to Provide Information
Users must have the necessary authority, rights, consents and permissions to upload, store and process the information they provide to SparkyHub, including any personal information about employees or third parties.
Users must not upload content that is unlawful, infringing, malicious, or that they are not permitted to disclose.
Accounts and Access
Users are responsible for keeping their login credentials confidential and for all activity carried out under their account. Company administrators are responsible for granting, reviewing and removing access for their users.
Access may be suspended where use of the platform is unlawful, abusive, or presents a security risk to other customers.
