Terms of Service

Last updated: May 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you" or "Customer") and LandForms ("LandForms", "we", "us") regarding your use of the LandForms website, application, APIs, and related services (collectively the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

LandForms provides a hosted, map-powered form builder that lets land professionals collect location-tagged submissions from the public. Features available today include embedded maps, address auto-lookup, PLSS legal-description capture, custom branding, email notifications, and a hosted submission inbox. Additional features (collectively "Pro features") may be released from time to time and may require a paid subscription or be subject to additional terms.

2. Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep it up to date. You may close your account at any time from the dashboard's Settings page; on closure, your forms, submissions, and uploaded files will be permanently deleted (subject to backups retained for up to 30 days for disaster recovery).

3. Plans, Fees, and Billing

The Service is offered on a Free plan with usage caps and on paid subscription plans (currently "Starter", with "Pro" launching soon). Current pricing is shown on our pricing page. Paid subscriptions auto-renew each billing period until cancelled. You authorize us and our payment processor (Stripe) to charge your payment method for all fees due. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing on at least 30 days' notice; changes apply at the start of your next billing period.

Free plan accounts are limited to 1 form and 5 total submissions. When the submission cap is reached, the form will stop accepting new submissions until you upgrade or delete existing data.

4. Customer Data

"Customer Data" means content you or your form respondents submit to the Service, including form responses, files, GPS coordinates, and email addresses. As between you and LandForms, you own Customer Data. You grant LandForms a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, copy, transmit, display, and process Customer Data solely as needed to provide and improve the Service, comply with law, and enforce these Terms.

You represent that you have all necessary rights and consents to collect Customer Data through the Service, including any consents required to collect personal data from form respondents under applicable privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy and our Data Processing Addendum (available on request).

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to allow others to:

  • use the Service to violate any law or third-party right;
  • send spam, phishing, malware, or unsolicited messages;
  • collect personal information without proper notice and consent;
  • scrape, reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service, except as expressly permitted by law;
  • interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable load on the Service or its underlying infrastructure;
  • resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service except as expressly permitted; or
  • use the Service to build a competing product.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, with or without notice, and we may report unlawful activity to authorities.

6. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including Google Maps, Kinde Auth, Stripe, Resend, Land Map Magic, and Fly.io. Your use of those features is also governed by the third party's terms. We are not responsible for third-party services or for downtime, errors, or data loss caused by them.

7. Intellectual Property

LandForms and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, designs, trademarks, and documentation. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes during your subscription. We welcome feedback and may use any suggestions you provide without restriction or compensation.

You grant LandForms a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use your company name, trade name, and logo(s) for our marketing and promotional purposes—including on our website, in presentations, customer references, case studies, press releases, and social media—to identify you as a customer or user of the Service. You represent that you have the authority to grant this license for any marks you provide.

8. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the other party's non-public business information ("Confidential Information") with the same care it uses for its own confidential information (and at least reasonable care), and to use it only to perform under these Terms. Confidential Information does not include information that is publicly available, was already known, or is independently developed.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, LandForms disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that data (including parcel boundaries, owner information, crop history, soils, or assessed values) is accurate, current, or complete. Customer is solely responsible for verifying any data before relying on it for transactions, regulatory filings, or business decisions.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Each party's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms is limited to the amount you paid LandForms in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

11. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LandForms and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, or damage (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) Customer Data, including any claim that it infringes a third party's rights or violates law; or (c) your acts or omissions in collecting personal data from your form respondents.

12. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Service. You may terminate at any time by deleting your account from Settings. We may suspend or terminate access immediately for breach of these Terms, non-payment, suspected fraud, or to comply with law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

13. Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice (e.g., by email or in-app banner). Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Polk County, Iowa, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction there. The parties waive any right to a jury trial.

15. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any order forms or addenda you sign with us, are the entire agreement between you and LandForms about the Service and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets. Notices to LandForms must be sent to hello@uselandforms.com.
