Terms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern access to and use of the Dirt Notice website, weekly list, and related files (the "Service"). By purchasing a subscription or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, the Refund Policy, and the Privacy Policy.
1. Who we are
Dirt Notice is a trade name of GAC Services LLC, a Georgia limited liability company. The Service is a privately compiled list drawn from public records. It is not a government product and is not affiliated with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division or any other public agency.
2. The Service
Dirt Notice provides a weekly email and downloadable CSV of newly filed Georgia construction sites of approximately one acre or more, compiled from publicly available Georgia EPD construction stormwater Notice of Intent filings and related public records. Coverage, counties, and fields may change. Launch coverage and any later expansion will be described on the website.
The list may include a priority score and a short "likely scope" note. The score only sorts filings; it does not drop a site from the covered set. The likely-scope note is an estimate, not a confirmed scope of work.
3. Public-records disclaimer and no warranty of accuracy
The Service is based on public records that we do not control. Filings can be late, incomplete, amended, withdrawn, duplicated, or wrong. Owners and permittees often under-describe the work. Parcel, acreage, contact, timing, and scope information may be missing or out of date.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant that the list is accurate, complete, current, or fit for a particular job, bid, or business decision. You are responsible for verifying any site, owner, or filing before you rely on it, visit a property, or bid work. We are not liable for lost bids, wasted travel, or other losses that come from errors or gaps in public records or in our compilation, scoring, or notes, except to the extent a law says we cannot limit that liability.
4. Eligibility and accounts
The Service is offered to businesses and professionals. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a contract. You are responsible for the accuracy of the email address and billing information you give us, and for anyone who uses the Service under your subscription.
5. Subscriptions, prices, and automatic renewal
Prices are in U.S. dollars and end as stated at checkout:
- Monthly plan: $49.88 per month, plus any applicable tax.
- Annual plan: $497.88 per year, plus any applicable tax.
Automatic renewal. The Service is a recurring subscription. Unless you cancel before the renewal date, you authorize GAC Services LLC d/b/a Dirt Notice to charge the payment method on file the then-current plan price (plus any applicable tax) at the start of each renewal period (every month for the monthly plan, every year for the annual plan) until you cancel. The length of each renewal term matches the plan you chose (one month or one year). There is no minimum term beyond the period you pay for.
We will send a receipt or acknowledgment after a successful charge, including the plan, the amount, the next renewal date, and a link to cancel or manage billing. For the annual plan, we will also send a reminder approximately seven days before renewal.
We may change prices for a future renewal. If we do, we will give you notice in advance and a chance to cancel before the new price is charged.
6. Payment
Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates ("Stripe"). You agree to Stripe's payment terms as well as these Terms. You authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for the plan you select and for any renewal until you cancel. If a payment fails, we may retry the charge and, if it remains unpaid, cancel the subscription and stop the Service.
7. Cancellation
You may cancel at any time in the Stripe customer billing portal (the link is provided in your receipt, welcome email, and other billing emails) or by writing to hello@dirtnotice.com.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. You will not be charged for the next period, and you keep access to the weekly list through the end of the period already paid. Instructions for canceling are also in our Refund Policy.
We may cancel or suspend the Service if payment fails, if you materially breach these Terms, or if we stop offering the Service. If we stop offering the Service, we will provide a refund consistent with the Refund Policy or as required by law.
8. Refunds
Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. In short: the monthly plan has no partial refunds; the annual plan is refundable within 14 days of the initial annual charge or a renewal charge.
9. Acceptable use and license
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the weekly list for your internal business development: for example, deciding which sites to pursue. You may not resell, republish, or redistribute the list, our scoring, or our likely-scope notes as a competing product, or scrape the site or our emails. You may not use the Service for unlawful purposes, to harass anyone listed in a filing, or to misrepresent that Dirt Notice or GAC Services LLC is a government agency.
Public records remain public. These Terms do not restrict your independent use of the underlying government filings.
10. Intellectual property
The Dirt Notice name, site, compilation, scoring, notes, and presentation are owned by GAC Services LLC or its licensors. Public records themselves are not our property.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, GAC Services LLC and its owners, employees, and agents are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost work, or lost business opportunities, arising out of the Service or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim.
Some states do not allow certain limitations. If those laws apply, some of the limits above may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.
12. Indemnity
If you use the Service in a way that breaches these Terms or harms a third party, you will defend and indemnify GAC Services LLC against resulting claims and reasonable costs, except to the extent caused by our own willful misconduct.
13. Changes to the Service or these Terms
We may update the Service or these Terms. If we make a material change to these Terms, we will post the updated Terms with a new effective date and, where appropriate, email the address on file. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, cancel as described above.
14. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Except where a law requires otherwise, you and we agree that the state or federal courts located in Georgia will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of these Terms or the Service.
15. Miscellaneous
If a provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms, the Refund Policy, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. We may assign this agreement to a successor. You may not assign it without our consent. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
