Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the website kco-systems.com or any products or services offered by Karatas & Company LLC, doing business as KCo Systems ("KCo Systems," "we," "us," or "our"), including PermitFeed, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use our website or services.

Description of Services

KCo Systems provides data products that aggregate, filter, and deliver information derived from publicly available records. PermitFeed is a filtered construction permit digest delivered on a periodic basis, typically weekly. PermitFeed is a prospecting and productivity tool built from public records — it is not a lead generation service and does not guarantee leads, accuracy, completeness, exclusivity, or business outcomes.

Public Records Disclaimer

Our products are based on data obtained from publicly available government records and permit databases. While we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and timely information, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of the underlying source data.

Specifically:

• Source data may contain errors, omissions, or delays introduced by the issuing authority.
• Permit records may not reflect the current status of a project (e.g., permits may be issued but not yet started, or projects may be cancelled after filing).
• Coverage is limited to the jurisdictions and data sources we monitor. Not all municipalities, counties, or permit types may be included.
• Contact information included in permits is from the public filing and may be outdated or incorrect.
• Square footage, valuation, and project scope data are as reported on the permit application and may not reflect actual project parameters.

No Guarantee of Results

PermitFeed and other KCo Systems products are prospecting and informational tools. We do not guarantee:

• Any specific number of leads, opportunities, or results
• That any listed opportunity will result in business for you
• That listed contractors or builders will respond to your outreach
• Any specific return on investment

Results depend on your market, your outreach, and many factors outside our control.

Territory and Distribution

We limit distribution of filtered lists by territory and service type. This means we aim to avoid sending the same filtered product to direct competitors within the same service category in the same geographic area. However:

• The underlying permit data is public record and available to anyone.
• We do not and cannot prevent others from accessing the same public data independently.
• Distribution limitations are a good-faith operational practice, not a contractual guarantee of exclusivity.

Intellectual Property

The website content, design, branding, and the specific filtering, ranking, and presentation of data in our products are the intellectual property of KCo Systems. You may not reproduce, redistribute, resell, or publicly display our products or their contents without written permission.

The underlying public-record data itself is not proprietary to us.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use our products for any unlawful purpose
• Redistribute, resell, or share your filtered list with third parties
• Scrape, crawl, or programmatically access our website without permission
• Misrepresent your affiliation with KCo Systems

Disclaimer of Warranties

Our website and services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the website or services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, KCo Systems and its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenue, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising from your use of our website or services.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to these terms or our services shall not exceed the total amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless KCo Systems from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of our services or your violation of these terms.

Modifications

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of our website or services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of our services shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
