Terms of Service

Effective date: July 19, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the PermitWire app for iPhone and iPad (“the app”), created by David Ramer (“we,” “us”). By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use PermitWire on Apple devices you own or control, for your own informational and business-research purposes, subject to these Terms and Apple's App Store terms.

2. About the permit data

PermitWire displays building-permit information drawn from records published by county and municipal governments. This data is provided “as is”:

• Records may be delayed, incomplete, or contain errors — either in the official source or in our processing of it.
• PermitWire is not the official record. Before relying on any permit information for a business, legal, financial, or construction decision, verify it with the issuing building department.
• Nothing in the app is legal, financial, or professional advice.
• Coverage varies by jurisdiction, and a jurisdiction's data may change or become unavailable if the government changes how it publishes records.

3. Acceptable use

You agree to use PermitWire only for lawful purposes. In particular, you agree that you will not:

• Use information from the app to harass, intimidate, stalk, or harm any person;
• Contact people identified in permit records in violation of any law, including telemarketing, do-not-call, and anti-spam laws (such as the TCPA and CAN-SPAM in the United States) — you are solely responsible for how you use contact information that appears in public records;
• Scrape, bulk-download, resell, or redistribute the app's data feed;
• Reverse engineer, copy, or create derivative works of the app;
• Use the app in any way that violates applicable law.

4. Intellectual property

The app, its design, branding, and software are our property and are protected by law. The underlying public records themselves belong to no one — but our selection, formatting, and presentation of them is ours. The PermitWire name and logo may not be used without permission.

5. Paid features

PermitWire may offer optional paid subscriptions in the future (for example, daily alerts). Any purchases will be billed through your Apple ID, renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and be manageable in your App Store account settings. Additional subscription terms will be presented at purchase.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

THE APP AND ITS DATA ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL BE CURRENT OR COMPLETE.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF — OR RELIANCE ON — THE APP OR ITS DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE (OR $10 IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING).

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the app if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it.

9. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
