Terms of use

AquaFocus (the “Service”), operated by Abundance Industries (“Abundance,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), enables you to organize water records, identify which water rules may apply to your sites, track due dates, and prepare regulatory water-use reports, including the Texas Water Development Board (“TWDB”) Water Use Survey. The Service also provides public water data, including water prices by city and Texas reference maps. We may add, modify, or discontinue features as the Service develops. If a change removes a feature on which you rely, we shall notify you beforehand.

The Service provides general information and guidance only. It does not constitute legal, engineering, environmental, or other professional advice. This limitation applies to all information the Service presents to you, including:

• compliance recommendations, their ratings (Likely, Possibly, Needs answers, Outside jurisdiction, and Unlikely), and the reasons displayed for those ratings;
• the requirement catalog and our summaries of agency rules;
• due dates, schedules, reminder emails, and calendar feeds;
• artificial-intelligence (“AI”) suggestions;
• answers that AI assistants provide from AquaFocus data when you connect such assistants through a Model Context Protocol (“MCP”) connector; and
• public water data, including water prices and reference maps.

Water rules change, differ among agencies and groundwater districts, and depend on facts concerning your operations that we may not know. We do not guarantee that the list of obligations the Service displays is complete, that its ratings are correct for your circumstances, or that dates and schedules are current.

You are responsible for determining which rules apply to you and for complying with them. We recommend that you confirm the Service’s output with a qualified environmental professional or attorney before you rely on it, particularly with respect to permits, deadlines, and penalties. Where the Service links to an agency’s official rules, forms, or instructions, those official sources shall control over our summaries.

Your use of the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship, or any other professional relationship, between you and Abundance Industries.

If you request assistance, the feature labeled “Talk to a professional” (under Get help in the application) may introduce you to an independent partner. Partners are separate businesses and are not part of Abundance Industries. See Partner referrals.

• You shall provide accurate account information and shall keep your password confidential.
• You shall invite only persons who are authorized to view your company’s data. Owners and administrators determine who belongs to a company and what each member may do, and shall keep that membership list current.
• You are responsible for all activity under your account. You shall notify us at support@abundance.industries promptly if you believe another person has used your account without authorization.

Your company retains ownership of the records and documents it submits to the Service. You grant us a limited license to store, process, and display those materials solely to operate the Service for you, as described in the Privacy Policy. We shall keep such materials confidential to your company’s members.

You shall upload only information that you have the right to share, and you shall not upload unlawful or malicious material.

The Service assists you in preparing reports. It does not file reports with any agency. You shall review each finished report and submit it to the applicable agency yourself, and you remain responsible for its contents and for meeting the applicable deadline.

Our checks identify many common problems. They do not guarantee that a report is complete or that an agency will accept it. You shall retain your own copies of the materials you submit.

Due dates and reminders are provided as an aid and do not replace your own tracking. You shall maintain your own calendar of deadlines. You remain responsible for filing on time even if a reminder does not arrive, arrives late, or states a date that proves incorrect.

The feature “Fill with AI” reads your documents and suggests values, each accompanied by the source from which it was derived. AI may misread a document. A person on your team must review and accept every suggestion before it is entered into a filing. You shall check suggested values against the source before you accept them.

You may also connect an AI assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to the Service through an MCP connector. Any such assistant is a third-party product that you elect to use, subject to its provider’s terms. An assistant may summarize or interpret AquaFocus data incorrectly. You shall check its answers against the Service and the official sources before you act on them. Any change an assistant makes through the connector is made under your account and your role, and is recorded in your company’s activity feed. You may revoke a connection at any time from your profile.

If you request to be connected with a professional, we shall introduce you to an independent partner and shall share only the details we display to you before you send the request. Any engagement you agree with a partner is solely between you and that partner. We do not charge you for the introduction, and we are not responsible for the partner’s services.

Partners are independent businesses and are not our employees or agents. Listing or introducing a partner is not an endorsement or a recommendation, and we do not guarantee the quality or the outcome of a partner’s work. You shall confirm that a partner is qualified for the work you require.

Water prices and reference maps are compiled from public sources and may be out of date or incomplete. They are provided for general information only and are not for engineering, legal, or investment decisions. Certain datasets are available by request only. A request for access does not obligate us to grant that access.

• You shall not attempt to access another company’s data or circumvent access controls.
• You shall not overload the Service, scrape it in bulk, or probe it for vulnerabilities.
• You shall not use the Service to violate the law or to submit reports that you know to be false.

The Service is provided without charge during its launch. If we introduce paid plans, we shall notify company owners in advance, and no amount shall be charged without your agreement.

You may cease using the Service at any time, and you may request that we close your account or delete your company. We may suspend access that violates these Terms or that places other customers at risk, and we shall inform you of the reason unless the law prevents us from doing so. Before a company is deleted, its owners may download their filings.

We endeavor to keep the Service accurate and available, including its compliance guidance, recommendations, due dates, and reminders. The Service is provided “as is,” without warranties that it will be complete, current, error-free, or uninterrupted, or that it fits your particular situation. You shall not rely solely on the Service, or on its reminders, to meet a legal obligation or a deadline.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, for missed deadlines, or for fines, penalties, or enforcement actions, whether arising from reports you submit, from obligations the Service did or did not display, from dates or reminders, or from AI suggestions or assistant answers. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

If we change these Terms in a manner that is material, we shall update the date above and shall notify signed-in users before the change takes effect. Questions concerning these Terms may be directed to hello@abundance.industries.
