Disclaimer.

The Daily Blueprint publishes commercial real estate research, market commentary, underwriting models, templates, checklists, and educational guides. This page covers what we are, what we are not, how our content is intended to be used, and the terms governing purchases of our digital products — including refunds. Read it before you act on anything we publish or buy any of our products.


What we are.

§ 1

A commercial real estate intelligence and education company headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina. We help working CRE professionals — brokers, investors, asset managers, syndicators, lenders, developers — think more clearly about deals, markets, and the discipline of underwriting.


What we are not.

§ 2

We are not, and we do not represent ourselves as, any of the following:

  • A registered investment adviser (RIA) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or any state equivalent.
  • A licensed real estate broker or salesperson in any U.S. state. We do not represent buyers, sellers, lessors, or lessees in transactions.
  • A FINRA-registered broker-dealer.
  • A Certified Public Accountant (CPA), tax adviser, or tax preparer.
  • A law firm. The Daily Blueprint does not provide legal advice. Nothing on this site, in our newsletter, or inside any product we sell is legal advice.
  • A licensed appraiser. Our valuation frameworks and underwriting models are educational. They are not appraisals and cannot be used as appraisals.
  • An MAI, CCIM, SIOR, or similar designation-bearing professional offering services in those capacities.

What our content actually is.

§ 3

Everything we publish — newsletter issues, posts, product PDFs, Excel models, templates, checklists, briefings, premium content — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not financial, legal, investment, tax, or transactional advice. It is not an offer to buy or sell any security, real estate asset, partnership interest, or financial product, and it is not a solicitation of any such offer.

The frameworks, default assumptions, and modeled outputs in our products reflect general industry practice and our editorial judgment at the time of publication. They are starting points for your own analysis. Markets change. Asset-class conventions change. Lending standards change. Validate every model output, market assumption, and structural recommendation against current conditions and your own underwriting before you put real capital, real time, or real reputation behind it.


No guarantee of accuracy or fitness for purpose.

§ 4

We work to make our research accurate, current, and useful. We cannot and do not guarantee:

  • That every data point, market figure, or comparable referenced in our content is correct or current at the time you read it.
  • That our underwriting models will produce results consistent with any specific transaction outcome.
  • That our checklists or due-diligence frameworks identify every material issue on a given deal.
  • That information published yesterday is still accurate today.

CRE is a domain where small assumption shifts produce large valuation changes. You are responsible for confirming inputs, sense-checking outputs, and pressure-testing every assumption against the specific deal in front of you.


No professional relationship.

§ 5

Reading our newsletter, downloading our products, or using our templates does not create:

  • An attorney-client relationship
  • An adviser-client relationship
  • A broker-principal relationship
  • A fiduciary duty
  • Any other relationship of trust, reliance, or representation

between you and The Daily Blueprint, its team, its contractors, or any of its affiliates. If you need professional advice on a specific transaction, hire a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.


Past performance.

§ 6

Any historical performance figures, case studies, or examples cited in our content describe what happened in a specific deal, in a specific market, at a specific point in the cycle, under a specific capital stack and operator. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Real estate cycles, interest rates, capital availability, and local supply-demand fundamentals all change. Do not extrapolate.


Forward-looking statements.

§ 7

We sometimes publish forecasts, scenarios, and forward-looking commentary on cap rates, rents, vacancy, capital flows, or market conditions. These are opinions, not guarantees. They reflect our editorial view at the time of publication and may turn out to be wrong. They are not investment recommendations and they are not promises about how a market will behave.


Third-party content and links.

§ 8

We sometimes reference, quote, or link to third-party data providers, market reports, news sources, and other external content. We do not guarantee the accuracy of third-party content and we are not responsible for it. A link is not an endorsement.


User responsibility.

§ 9

You are responsible for:

  1. Verifying every model assumption, market input, and projected output before relying on it.
  2. Engaging qualified, licensed professionals — attorneys, brokers, CPAs, appraisers, lenders — for advice on specific transactions in specific jurisdictions.
  3. Your own underwriting decisions and their consequences.
  4. Compliance with all laws applicable to you and your transactions, including (without limitation) securities, real estate, tax, and consumer-protection laws.

Refund terms for digital products.

§ 10

The Daily Blueprint sells digital products — research guides, checklists, Excel models, underwriting templates, briefings — to working commercial real estate professionals. Read this before you buy.

The short version

  • Products priced at $97 or less: 30-day no-questions refund. Email us within 30 days of purchase, tell us you want a refund, and we’ll issue it. No hoops.
  • Products priced $100–$199: email us within 30 days. We review case-by-case and refund if it’s reasonable.
  • Products priced $200 or more: contact us directly. Higher-ticket products are reviewed individually.
  • Defective or corrupted files are replaced free of charge — regardless of price. That’s a fix, not a refund.

Products ≤$97 — 30-day no-questions refund

If you purchased a product priced at $97 or less and you’re not satisfied, email support@thedailyblueprint.com within 30 days of your purchase date and ask for a refund. That’s it. We don’t ask why. Refunds are processed within two business days.

How to request: Email support@thedailyblueprint.com — Subject: “Refund request — [order number]”. No essay required.

Products $100–$199 — email within 30 days, reviewed case-by-case

Email support@thedailyblueprint.com within 30 days with your order number and what the issue is — a sentence or two is fine. We review these and refund if the request is reasonable. We define “reasonable” the way any working professional would: you didn’t get what was described, the product doesn’t serve the stated use case for your situation, or there’s a genuine mismatch. We don’t refund pure buyer’s remorse or after the product has been put to work, but we also don’t fight with customers over $100–$199.

Products ≥$200 (including bundles) — contact us directly

For products priced at $200 or more, refund requests are reviewed individually. Email support@thedailyblueprint.com with your order number and what’s going on. We’ll respond within two business days. These are higher-investment purchases and we treat them accordingly.

Defective or corrupted files — free replacement at any price

If the file you received is broken, corrupted, missing pages, missing tabs, or otherwise materially defective, email support@thedailyblueprint.com with your order number and a short description. We will send a corrected file within two business days. If we cannot deliver a working file within seven business days of your report, we will issue a full refund. This applies at every price tier.

What we don’t refund (applies to $100+ tier)

For products priced $100 and above, where refunds are reviewed rather than automatic, we don’t refund:

  • Pure buyer’s remorse after having used the product.
  • “The model didn’t fit my specific deal” — our products are general-practice frameworks. The product description tells you what’s in it.
  • After the product has been worked into a deal or shared with others — at that point the value has been delivered.

For ≤$97 products, none of this applies — the refund is no-questions.

Subscription products (when applicable)

We do not currently offer subscription-based products. If we do in the future, they will follow standard pro-rated cancellation norms: cancel anytime, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We will publish a separate section here when applicable.

Free updates for past customers

When we update a product you already purchased, you receive the updated version free. No request needed — we email the updated file. This is our standing policy, not a refund.

Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback before contacting us, we will treat the dispute as adversarial and provide your bank with the order record, download log, and this policy. We are reachable and we answer email. Contact us first — especially for ≤$97 products where the refund is automatic. There’s no fight to have.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability. To the extent any provision of this Disclaimer is held unenforceable in your jurisdiction, the remainder of the Disclaimer remains in effect.
