TERMSTERMS OF SERVICE · ENVELOPE

The four things you agreed to at checkout.

Sections 4 through 7 are the four checkboxes you tick when you buy an Enterprise seat, expanded into what each one means in practice. Sections 1 through 3 apply to every report Envelope produces.

Last updated September 18, 2026

1. What a report is, and what it is not

An Envelope zoning feasibility report is an informational study generated by software from public records (NYC PLUTO, Geoclient, DOB and DCP datasets) and the text of the New York City Zoning Resolution. It is produced for due-diligence and underwriting purposes so that you can decide whether a site deserves the attention of licensed professionals. It is not architectural, engineering, surveying, legal, tax, appraisal or investment services, and it is not professional advice.

Envelope and West Egg Development are not licensed architects, professional engineers, land surveyors, attorneys, appraisers or brokers, and no professional-client relationship of any kind is created by generating, buying, reading or sharing a report. The New York City Department of Buildings and Department of City Planning make the determinations that govern what may be built on a lot; where a report and an agency differ, the agency controls.

Every figure in a report is the engine's reading of the sources above at the time it ran. Public records are sometimes wrong or stale, lot dimensions come from tax records rather than a survey, zoning text changes, and a lot's actual constraints (easements, landmark status, environmental conditions, prior filings, title) may not appear in any dataset we use. Before you buy a lot, sign a lease, commit capital or file plans, have a registered architect and a zoning attorney verify the report against the site.

2. No warranty

Reports, sample reports, the Advanced Suite and everything else on Envelope are provided as is and as available. We work hard to make every number right, and we stand behind our method, but we do not warrant that any report is accurate, complete, current, fit for a particular purpose or free of error, and we disclaim every warranty, express or implied, to the fullest extent the law allows. Any figure may be superseded by an agency determination, a survey, a title search or a later change in law.

3. Limitation of liability

You agree that you will verify a report with licensed professionals before relying on it, and that your use of a report is at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Envelope and West Egg Development, and their members, officers, employees and contractors, are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost deals, lost value or costs of substitute services, arising out of or related to a report or the service, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if we were told such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to a report or the service is limited to the amount you paid Envelope for that report, or for the subscription in the twelve months before the claim, whichever applies. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those, the limitation applies to the extent the law permits.

Sections 1 to 3 apply to every report and every purchase: a la carte, Unlimited Reports, Enterprise, complimentary trials, access grants and the public sample reports.

4. Seats are individual and non-transferable

Each Envelope Enterprise seat is licensed to one named human being. Sharing credentials, alternating sign-ins between people, or rotating a single seat across a team is a breach of these terms.

You may move a seat from one teammate to another by revoking the leaving teammate from your admin dashboard and inviting the replacement. The platform enforces a 1 hour cooldown after a device is revoked to prevent rapid swap abuse.

Each seat is limited to two registered devices at a time. Sign-ins from a third device are blocked until you revoke an existing one from your settings. Concurrent sessions are not permitted: a fresh sign-in elsewhere will end your existing session within seconds.

5. Reports are for the licensee's own use

Every zoning feasibility report you generate from your Enterprise account is licensed for use within your own business: properties you broker, own, or are actively underwriting; deals your firm is screening; portfolios your firm manages.

You may not generate reports on behalf of third parties: clients of your firm, colleagues at unrelated firms, friends, family members in the trade, or any party who is not a teammate on your Enterprise account. If someone outside your business needs a single report, they can buy it directly through our a la carte option starting at $149, no subscription required.

Reports may be shared as PDFs with the principals of the deal they describe (the seller you are pitching, the lender you are bringing the deal to, your in-house legal team). They may not be republished, repackaged, or sold downstream as a standalone product.

6. Account activity is monitored

To enforce the seat-licensing terms above and protect the platform from abuse, Envelope logs the following per seat: sign-in timestamps, IP addresses, approximate city-level location, registered devices and their fingerprints, report generation activity (which BBL, when, by which seat), advanced-section unlocks, and aggregate usage patterns.

This data is used internally to identify accounts likely violating the seat-licensing terms: for example, a single seat generating reports for many unrelated properties from many different cities in a short window, or a sustained pattern of concurrent-session evictions. Suspected violations are reviewed manually before any action is taken.

If we determine after review that a seat is in breach, possible responses include a written warning, suspension of the offending seat, or termination of the entire Enterprise account. We do not retroactively bill for past violations: the consequence is loss of access, not a back-billed invoice.

This data is never sold to third parties and is not shared except where required by law.

7. Authority to bind

By accepting these terms at checkout, you represent and warrant that (a) you are authorized to bind the entity for which you are purchasing the Enterprise account, (b) the entity's use of Envelope will comply with these terms, and (c) you have read and understood the licensing, use, and monitoring provisions in sections 4 through 6 above.

If you are purchasing on your own behalf as an individual, you represent that you are the sole user of the seat and accept these terms personally.
