Terms of Service

CairnLead is a service of Catalyst Holdings LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“CairnLead,” “we,” “us”). These terms cover your use of cairnlead.com, the CairnLead app, the Monday email and anything you export from them (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or starting a plan, you agree to them.

1. What the Service is

CairnLead collects public building-permit, land-use and related records from county and city governments, organizes them by project, and ranks them for your trade and location. It is a research tool to help you decide which projects to pursue. It does not refer, recommend or guarantee any project, builder, owner or contractor, and it is not a bidding platform or a broker.

2. The data comes from public records, and it can be wrong

Everything in the Service comes from public records as published by the agencies that keep them, plus our own processing (matching records to projects, estimating stages, sizes, drive times and scores). Agencies make mistakes, records change after we read them, and our processing can be wrong. Stages, timing, sizes, values, scores and “filled” or “taken” labels are estimates.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty that any record is accurate, complete or current, or that using the Service will win you work. Verify anything that matters with the agency before you rely on it, including before you bid, price a job, or contact anyone.

3. How you contact people is your responsibility

The Service may show names, business names, license numbers, phone numbers and addresses that appear in public records. You are responsible for contacting anyone lawfully, including telephone and text-message rules (such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and do-not-call lists), email rules (such as CAN-SPAM), and any state rules on commercial use of public records. Do not use the Service to harass anyone. Owners who appear in permit records are private people; treat them that way.

4. Your account

Accounts are for one business. Keep your sign-in links to yourself and don't share access outside your company. You're responsible for activity on your account. Tell us right away if you think someone else is using it.

5. What you may and may not do with the data

You may use the Service and your exports for your own business: finding, tracking and pursuing work. You may not resell, republish, license or redistribute the Service or exported data, build a competing product or list from it, or share it with anyone outside your company. You may not scrape, copy in bulk, or try to get around plan limits, seat caps or access controls.

6. Plans, trials and billing

Paid plans are billed monthly in advance through our payment processor, Stripe, and renew automatically until you cancel. A new account may start one 14-day free trial; your card is charged when the trial ends unless you cancel first. You can cancel at any time from Plan & billing; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and we don't give refunds for partial months. We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice by email; the new price applies from your next renewal after the notice period.

Seats are capped per trade and area. Your seat is held while your plan is active. If you cancel or your payment fails and isn't fixed, we may release your seat.

7. Changes and availability

We are adding jurisdictions and features and may change or remove parts of the Service. Agencies sometimes change or take down their systems, which can delay or stop updates for a while. We'll try to tell you about significant changes. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

8. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, CairnLead and Catalyst Holdings LLC are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost jobs or lost bids, arising from the Service or from any record in it. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim.

9. Law and changes to these terms

These terms are governed by Oregon law, and any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts in Clackamas County, Oregon. If we change these terms in a meaningful way, we'll post the new version here and email active subscribers; continuing to use the Service after the change means you accept it.
