Terms

Who this is between

Chasedirt, 13883 Travis Boyd Circle, Herriman, UT 84096, United States (hello@chasedirt.com) — "we", "us". "You" is the business or person who subscribes, and anyone you let use the subscription under the rule below. By subscribing, or by using the list, you accept these terms. If you are subscribing for a company, you confirm you may accept them for it.

What you're buying

A subscription to a daily (or weekly) email listing public construction bid notices in the part of the Intermountain West we cover. The notices are public information; we find them, read them and organise them so you don't have to.

What you are buying is access to that information service. It is not legal, estimating, financial or bidding advice, it is not a promise of work, and it is not a bidding or bid-writing service.

One subscription, one business

A subscription covers your business: you and the people who work in it — owners, estimators, office staff, and contractors you regularly bid with. It does not cover another company, a client, a partner firm, or a group you happen to be in.

Your private page opens from a personal link in each email. That link is a credential, the same way a password is, and these are the things we ask you not to do with it:

• forward it outside your business, or post it anywhere others can open it;
• use it to serve other people's access, resell it, or bundle it into another service;
• reproduce the list in bulk, in public, or in anything you sell — a notice you bid on is a public record and you may of course use it, share it inside your business, and act on it.

We count how many different devices and browsers open each link, in a rolling week, using a cookie rather than anything that identifies a person — see the privacy page for exactly what is recorded. A phone, an office machine and a couple of estimators is normal and is never limited. If a link starts being opened as though it were passed around, we will say so to the address that subscribed; past that, new devices are refused until you tell us what happened.

If a link is shared

We may ask you to stop, re-issue you a fresh link so the old one dies, and — if the sharing continues — suspend or end the subscription. We will not do that silently: we tell the address that paid, and you keep access from the devices already in use while we sort it out. A subscription ended for deliberate sharing is not refundable. Everything else in these terms, including the refund below, still applies.

What we check, and what we don't

We read the agencies' own pages — cities, towns, counties, school and water districts, state and federal postings — and we keep reading them through the day. What we cannot promise:

• that a notice reaches us at all. An agency can post somewhere we have not found yet, publish in a format we cannot read, or send a notice only to a list of their own;
• that a listing is complete or current. Agencies amend, postpone and withdraw notices, and the published notice can change after we have read it;
• that an email arrives. Spam filters, provider outages and a full mailbox are outside our control — we keep the sender address on every email and you can add it to your allowed senders;
• that a listing's details are accurate. We pass on what the agency published; when our reading of a notice and the notice disagree, the agency's notice is the authority.

Check the notice before you bid. Deadlines, addenda, mandatory pre-bid meetings and licence requirements are the things that cost money to miss, and they belong to the agency's document, not to our summary of it.

Pricing, renewal and the founding offer

• Founding accounts: $99 a year, charged once a year and renewed each year until you cancel. That $99 is your price for as long as your subscription continues — we do not raise it on a founding account, so if we later charge new customers more, yours stays $99. Cancelling ends it at the end of the period you have already paid for.
• Monthly and yearly plans: billed at the price shown when you signed up, in advance, and they continue at that price until you cancel. For these plans — not founding accounts — we can change the price for a new billing period, with notice by email before it takes effect; you can cancel instead.
• The first 100 accounts get the founding price. After that the offer closes.
• Prices are in US dollars. Where sales tax or VAT applies, it is added at checkout and shown before you pay. Payment is handled by Stripe — we never see or store your card number.

Cancelling and refunds

Cancel any time — the link at the bottom of any email, or in the payment portal linked from your receipt, or one email telling us to stop. Nothing further is charged.

If you cancel within the first 30 days of your first payment, we refund it in full. After that we do not refund the part of a period you have not used, except where these terms say otherwise or the law requires it. Refunds go back to the card you paid with, arranged by hand, so allow a few days.

If your trade genuinely turns up nothing inside your radius for a whole week, tell us: we would rather say so and refund that period than take money for empty emails.

Cancelling by us, and suspension

We can suspend or end a subscription if these terms are broken — deliberately sharing the link, reselling or republishing the list, scraping it, or attempting to break into the service or anyone else's access. We can also end it if payment fails and is not fixed. Where we end it for our own convenience rather than your breach, we refund the unused part of what you have paid.

Your side of it

• Give us an address you actually read, and keep it current; write to us if it changes.
• Verify a notice, its deadline and its requirements against the agency's own document before you bid.
• Use the list for your own business, as set out above.
• Don't try to break, overload, or work around the limits of the service, or extract the catalogue in bulk by automated means.

Limits on what we owe you

The information is provided as we find it, without a warranty that it is complete, current or fit for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost work, lost profits, lost opportunities, penalties, bond claims, estimating costs or any indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability for any claim connected with the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud or for anything else the law does not let us limit. Some places give consumers rights that override parts of this section; where that is so, those rights apply.

Changes to these terms, and to the service

We may add or drop sources, change how a list is laid out, or change these terms — for example to reflect a new feature or a change in the law. If a change materially affects what you pay or what you get, we email you before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the change; if you don't, cancel and we refund the unused part.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, and the state and federal courts sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah are the place for any dispute — except that either of us can bring a claim in whatever small-claims court is appropriate. If a part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest stands; if we don't enforce something once, we haven't given it up. You may not transfer your subscription to someone else without our agreement. This is the whole agreement between us about the service.
