Legal notices

Terms of Use

By accessing or using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you use it for an employer or organization, you confirm that you may accept these Terms for that organization. Do not use the service if you disagree.

Permitted use

You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for lawful bore-path documentation. You are responsible for your account, devices, entries, shared links, field decisions, and compliance with laws, contracts, permits, safety rules, and professional standards.

Prohibited use

Do not misuse the service, bypass access controls, interfere with operation, upload unlawful or infringing material, access another user's data without permission, or rely on the service to perform work requiring licensed surveying, engineering, utility locating, or other professional authorization.

Your content

You keep ownership of bore records, notes, and photos you submit. You grant Derek Pohlad and service providers a limited license to host, process, reproduce, and transmit that content only to operate, secure, support, and improve the service. You confirm that you have permission to upload and share it.

Shared links

Anyone who receives an active shared link may view its bore information. Treat links as confidential and disable them when no longer needed. Signed-in visitors may submit notes and photos; the bore owner controls whether a link remains active.

Service availability and changes

The service may change, be interrupted, lose connectivity, or be discontinued. Keep independent records and backups required for your work. Features and these Terms may be updated; continued use after an update means acceptance of the revised Terms.

Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEREK POHLAD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS; PROPERTY DAMAGE; PERSONAL INJURY; UTILITY STRIKES; OR LOSSES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON GPS, MAPS, DEPTHS, FLAGS, PHOTOS, SHARED CONTENT, OR REPORTS. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so they apply only as permitted by law.

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Derek Pohlad harmless from claims and costs arising from your content, misuse of the service, violation of these Terms, or field operations.

Governing law

Iowa law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Iowa, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Privacy Notice

The service processes account details, bore and project details, rod depths, notes, photographs, precise location and GPS accuracy, device/browser information, sign-in information, shared-link activity, and visitor submissions.

How information is used

Information is used to authenticate users; save, map, share, and export bore records; operate camera and location features; secure and troubleshoot the service; respond to requests; and meet legal obligations. Location and camera access occur only after device permission, but denying permission may limit related features.

Storage and disclosure

Cloud hosting, authentication, storage, map imagery, and other technical providers process information to deliver the service. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or during a business transfer. The service does not sell personal information for money.

Sharing and visibility

Bore data is private to its owner unless an active walkthrough link is created. Anyone with that link can view the shared bore without an account. A signed-in visitor's submitted notes and photos become visible to the bore owner and other people viewing that shared walkthrough.

Retention and security

Information is kept while needed to provide the service, satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain legitimate records. Deleting content or an account may not immediately remove backups or records legally required to be retained. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no system is completely secure.

Your choices

You may disable device permissions, stop sharing a walkthrough, or request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal information. The service is for workplace use and is not directed to children under 13.

Safety and Accuracy Disclaimer

This is a documentation and field-reference tool—not a safety system. It does not provide utility locating, surveying, engineering, geotechnical advice, excavation clearance, emergency guidance, or a certified as-built.

• Consumer-device GPS, compass headings, map imagery, distances, and camera overlays may be delayed, unavailable, or significantly inaccurate.
• Depths, target ranges, reasons, flags, notes, and photos depend on user entry and must be independently verified.
• A shallow/deep flag is only a comparison with user-entered targets; it does not determine safe clearance or compliance.
• Maps and exported PDFs are field records only and may not reflect property boundaries, current site conditions, underground utilities, or exact bore placement.
• Never use the app as the sole basis for drilling, excavation, steering, utility clearance, or emergency decisions.

Always follow applicable one-call/811 requirements, potholing and exposure procedures, utility-owner instructions, permits, approved plans, competent-person direction, equipment guidance, and company safety policies. Stop work and use qualified professionals whenever conditions or records are uncertain.
