All new Autodesk and Bluebeam users managed by BIM360 Tech with accounts less than one (1) year old are required to submit a Compliance Assurance Fee of $575.84 within three (3) business days of receiving this agreement.

Purpose of the Fee

The Compliance Assurance Fee is not a security deposit, nor a charge for the software itself. It serves as a compliance guarantee to protect against potential legal, administrative, or financial penalties that may arise from improper use of licensed software managed under BIM360 Tech.

Improper use or unauthorized actions under a managed Autodesk or Bluebeam account can subject BIM360 Tech to significant fines, license suspensions, and vendor penalties as part of Autodesk’s and Bluebeam’s corporate compliance enforcement programs.

This fee ensures continued access to Autodesk and Bluebeam licensing while safeguarding BIM360 Tech and its network from exposure to these liabilities.

Refund and Compliance Policy

The Compliance Assurance Fee ($575.84) will be returned via direct ACH transfer once the one (1) year compliance term has been successfully completed. This timeframe allows BIM360 Tech to ensure full compliance with Autodesk and Bluebeam licensing regulations and verify consistent, responsible software usage throughout the duration of the managed account. Refunds are automatically processed to the original payment account on file once the one-year term has been completed without violations, misuse, or administrative actions.

Note: Users must remain active and in good standing for the full one-year term to be eligible for refund.

Why the Fee Is Required

Industry Renewal Cycles: Most Autodesk and Bluebeam commercial licenses renew annually or biannually, so one year ensures coverage for a complete renewal cycle and provides BIM360 Tech the ability to monitor account usage through that full term.

Compliance Monitoring: The one-year period allows BIM360 Tech to monitor software usage, compliance behavior, and account reliability.

Fair Practice: This timeframe avoids appearing punitive or as if funds are being “held” unnecessarily long.

Legal Protection: It provides BIM360 Tech with strong legal justification and audit protection in the event of a software licensing review by Autodesk or Bluebeam.

Standardization: The one-year term keeps the compliance process consistent across Autodesk, Bluebeam, and Microsoft account management under BIM360 Tech.
