Effective date: April 22, 2026
By accessing or using Legal-Plot ("the Service"), operated by Valley Land Surveying PLLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Legal-Plot is a SaaS platform that provides automated processing of legal descriptions, mapping, and geospatial outputs. The Service includes parsing, closure analysis, map visualization, DXF/KML/GeoJSON export, and related tools. Outputs are computational approximations and are not a substitute for professional judgment or a licensed land survey.
You must create an account to access the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and promptly update it if it changes. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.
Access to certain features requires purchasing credits. Credits are purchased through our payment processor (Stripe) and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Credits do not expire but have no cash value and are not transferable. One credit is consumed per successful legal description processing operation. We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable notice.
Output produced by Legal-Plot does not constitute a licensed land survey and shall not be used to establish, relocate, or certify property boundaries. All output is for professional reference and workflow assistance only. Valley Land Surveying PLLC makes no representations regarding the positional accuracy of PLSS corner coordinates, GCDB point data, BLM CadNSDI records, or any other government reference dataset used by the Service. Users are solely responsible for verifying output against original source documents and applicable survey standards before relying on any result for legal, regulatory, title, or conveyancing purposes.
Users are solely responsible for:
Legal descriptions may be ambiguous, internally conflicting, incomplete, or dependent on historical monuments that cannot be computationally resolved. The accuracy and completeness of all output is entirely dependent on the quality and clarity of the input provided. Valley Land Surveying PLLC does not warrant that any given description will parse completely or correctly. Users are responsible for reviewing output for errors, unclosed traverses, missing calls, and any discrepancy between the plotted linework and the intent of the original document.
Legal-Plot uses automated parsing, computational geometry, and AI-assisted inference to interpret legal descriptions. The Service may make assumptions to produce output, including but not limited to: inferring the Point of Beginning from PLSS corner data, inferring an implied Basis of Bearings from PLSS inverse calculations, skipping unrecognized calls, and estimating curve parameters from incomplete data. These assumptions are disclosed in the processing log associated with each result. Users must review all assumptions before relying on any output. Automated results are not a substitute for professional judgment.
API access to the Service is governed by these Terms. Each successful legal description processing event — whether submitted through the web interface or via API — consumes one credit from your account balance. Credits are deducted at the time of successful processing. Failed or rejected requests due to malformed input or server error do not consume credits. We reserve the right to implement rate limiting, throttling, or access restrictions on accounts that exhibit abnormal usage patterns, automated abuse, or attempts to extract reference data at scale. Programmatic access that circumvents rate limits or monetization controls is prohibited and may result in immediate account termination without refund.
You agree not to:
The platform, software, algorithms, reference data, and content are owned by Valley Land Surveying PLLC and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You retain ownership of the legal description text and documents you submit. Output files (DXF, KML, GeoJSON, PDF) generated from your input are yours to use. You grant us a limited license to process your input solely to provide the Service.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT OUTPUT WILL BE SUITABLE FOR USE IN ANY LEGAL, REGULATORY, OR PROFESSIONAL PROCEEDING. OUTPUT FROM THE SERVICE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A LICENSED LAND SURVEY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VALLEY LAND SURVEYING PLLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE OR ITS OUTPUTS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Valley Land Surveying PLLC and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms or for any other reason with reasonable notice. You may cancel your account at any time through your account settings. Unused credits are non-refundable upon termination unless required by applicable law.
We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you by email or by posting a notice on the Service. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in the courts of competent jurisdiction in Ada County, Idaho.
