Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of PermitAxis (the "Service"), operated by PermitAxis ("PermitAxis," "we," "us," or "our"). By subscribing to or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. What PermitAxis Does

PermitAxis is an informational service for contractors and tradespeople. Each week, we compile building permits filed in your selected coverage area from public city and county open-data sources, score and summarize them, and deliver them to you by email along with a link to a hosted web report. Where available, we include general contractor contact information sourced from Washington State's public contractor licensing database (WA L&I).

2. Accounts, Trials & Subscriptions

3. Data Accuracy — Please Read This Section

Permit data, valuation estimates, contractor names, and phone numbers in your reports come from third-party public sources — city and county permitting systems and the WA L&I contractor registry — that PermitAxis does not control. These sources can be incomplete, delayed, or contain errors. AI-generated summaries, lead scores, and estimated project values are our best-effort interpretation of that data and are not guaranteed to be accurate, current, or complete.

You are responsible for independently verifying any information — including contact details, project scope, and permit status — before relying on it for business, contractual, or financial decisions. PermitAxis is not liable for outcomes resulting from inaccurate, outdated, or missing third-party data.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: resell or redistribute PermitAxis reports or data as a standalone product or dataset; use the Service to harass or unlawfully contact any individual or business identified in a report; attempt to circumvent our subscription or access controls; or use the Service in a way that violates applicable law, including telemarketing and consumer-protection laws in the jurisdictions you operate in.

5. Intellectual Property

The PermitAxis name, website, report design, and scoring methodology are owned by PermitAxis. Underlying permit and licensing data remain the property of the originating public agencies; we make no ownership claim over that raw data.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any lead will result in business.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PermitAxis and its founder will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or business opportunities, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, misuse contact information provided through a report, or fail to pay applicable fees.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Where a dispute is not subject to arbitration under Section 11 — or where you have opted out of it — it will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Washington State.

10. How You Use the Leads Is On You

PermitAxis tells you a permit was filed and who filed it. What you do with that is your decision and your legal responsibility. Calling, texting, emailing and mailing businesses are all regulated activities — federally under the TCPA and CAN-SPAM, and in Washington under the Commercial Electronic Mail Act and the state Do Not Call rules.

Before you contact anyone from a PermitAxis report, that is your job to get right — including checking Do Not Call registries where they apply, respecting calling hours, identifying yourself, and honouring any request to stop.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PermitAxis and its founder against any claim, penalty, or cost — including reasonable legal fees — arising from how you contacted, or attempted to contact, a person or business identified in a report. A lead appearing in your report is not advice that contacting them is lawful in your circumstances.

11. Disputes, Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Most problems get solved by emailing us, so please start there. If we can't resolve it within 30 days, any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, in King County, Washington, before a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You and PermitAxis each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to bring or participate in a class, collective, or representative action. Claims must be brought individually.

Either party may still bring an individual claim in small-claims court instead, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property.

You can opt out of this arbitration section. Email jobo2business@gmail.com with the subject "Arbitration opt-out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, and it won't apply to you. Everything else in these Terms still will. Opting out costs you nothing and won't affect your subscription.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be noted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
