01Who we are
Terradocs is a trading name of GeoSearches Inc, a corporation registered in Ohio, United States, with its principal place of business at 200 Industrial Parkway Suite 6b, Chagrin Falls, Ohio 44022. In these terms, "we", "us", and "Terradocs" mean GeoSearches Inc trading as Terradocs. "You" means the person or firm using the service.
Contact: sales@geosearches.com or 440.893.0642.
02What the service is
Terradocs provides two distinct things:
- Document software. A tool that assembles proposals, scopes of work, safety documents, and report frameworks from information you supply, using standard commercial and technical language.
- Expert services. Subsurface data interpretation and report production, performed by us on data you submit.
These are separate offerings with different terms, set out below.
03What the software is not
The software produces commercial and administrative documents. It does not perform engineering analysis, does not interpret data, and does not make professional judgments about your project.
Output is a document populated with information you provide, using language drawn from published industry practice. It is not engineering, geological, surveying, safety, or legal advice, and it is not a substitute for professional judgment, licensure, or a professional seal.
Standards are referenced for scoping purposes only. Standards are revised, withdrawn, and superseded. You are responsible for confirming that any standard cited in your document is the current edition and is applicable to your jurisdiction and scope of work.
You must review every document before you issue it. You remain solely responsible for its accuracy, its suitability for your project, and its compliance with any law, contract, or professional obligation that applies to you.
04Licences and permitted use
Access is licensed, not sold. Three tiers apply:
- Preview. Free. Documents are watermarked and may not be issued, transmitted, or relied upon. Word export is disabled.
- Single document. Licenses one document for one project. PDF export only. You may not reuse that document, in whole or in substantial part, as a template for other projects.
- Subscription. Unlimited documents for the licensed firm during the subscription period, including editable Word export. Business tier covers up to ten named users at one firm.
You may not share, resell, sublicense, or publish your licence key. You may not remove or alter the licence footer or document identifier from generated output. You may not use the service to build a competing product.
We may suspend or terminate a licence for breach of these terms. Where we do so without cause, we will refund the unused portion of any subscription.
05Expert services
Where we interpret data or produce a report for you, the following applies.
Non-intrusive work only. We do not undertake intrusive geotechnical investigation, environmental site assessment, or any work requiring an engineering seal. Anything requiring a seal must go to a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.
Data quality governs the outcome. Our interpretation can only be as good as the data submitted. If the data cannot support a conclusion, we will say so — and we will tell you before you are charged for an interpretation that will not hold. Collection of the field data, and its adequacy, remain your responsibility.
Deposits and quotes. The published figure is a deposit, not a fixed price. We will confirm scope and quote the balance in writing before starting work. Deposits are refundable in full if we decline the job or if you withdraw before work begins.
Attribution. Interpretation is attributed to Terradocs as consultant of record. We do not ghost-write findings under another firm's name without attribution.
06Payment, renewal, and cancellation
Prices are shown on the site and are exclusive of any applicable sales tax or VAT, which is calculated at checkout. Payment is processed by Stripe; we do not store your card details.
Subscriptions renew automatically each month or year until cancelled. You may cancel at any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not pro-rate partial periods.
Single document purchases are non-refundable once the document has been generated without a watermark, because the product has been delivered at that point. If something has gone wrong, contact us — we would rather fix it than argue about it.
Where we increase prices, existing subscribers keep their rate for as long as the subscription runs uninterrupted.
07Your content and ours
Yours stays yours. Project information, field data, letterheads, rate tables, and anything else you supply remain your property. You grant us only the limited permission needed to provide the service — to generate your documents and, where you have engaged us, to interpret your data.
Ours stays ours. The software, the clause library, the document structures, and the Terradocs name remain our property. Your licence does not transfer ownership of any of it.
Documents you generate are yours to use within the scope of your licence, including commercially, on your own letterhead, with your own client.
08Liability
This section limits what we owe you if something goes wrong. Read it. If it is unacceptable, do not use the service.
The software is provided as is. We do not warrant that output will be error-free, that standards references will be current, or that any document will be fit for a particular project or acceptable to a particular client or authority.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, or for lost profits, lost business, lost contracts, or costs arising from a document you issued without reviewing it.
Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
09Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your use of the service, including claims that a document you issued was inaccurate, unsuitable, or non-compliant, and claims arising from field data you collected or supplied.
10Changes
We may change these terms. Where a change materially affects your rights, we will give notice by email to the address on your account at least 30 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept, cancel and we will refund the unused portion of your subscription.
11Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, and the courts of Ohio have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that grants you the right to bring proceedings locally, this does not remove that right.
