LEGAL
Terms of Use
Effective date: September 30, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of AreaVantage. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
Research information
AreaVantage provides research tools, public-data summaries, news links, funding discovery, and planning materials for general informational purposes. The information is not legal, tax, accounting, investment, lending, real-estate, or professional business advice. Verify important information with the original source and a qualified professional before making a decision.
Sources and accuracy
We use public sources and third-party publishers, including government datasets and linked news coverage. Data may be delayed, incomplete, estimated, changed by the source, or incorrectly matched to a location. AreaVantage does not guarantee that any result, projection, opportunity, grant, competitor listing, or news item is complete or current.
Acceptable use
You may use AreaVantage for lawful research and planning. Do not interfere with the service, attempt unauthorized access, scrape the service at a disruptive rate, misuse source links, upload malicious code, or use the service to violate another person’s rights or applicable law.
Third-party sources
AreaVantage links to third-party websites and services. Those sites have their own terms, privacy practices, content, and availability. AreaVantage does not control or endorse every third-party source.
Intellectual property
AreaVantage’s software, interface, branding, and original presentation are owned by AreaVantage or its licensors. Public data and third-party content remain subject to their respective owners and licenses. You may not present AreaVantage’s original materials as your own.
Availability and changes
The service may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued. We may update these terms as the service develops. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Disclaimer and liability
AreaVantage is provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, AreaVantage disclaims warranties and is not liable for decisions, losses, or damages arising from reliance on the service or linked sources.
Subscriptions and billing
The Free planner is available without payment. When enabled, Pro and Business subscriptions renew monthly through Stripe at the price shown at checkout. Applicable taxes are shown before payment. You can manage payment details and cancel future renewals through Manage billing. Access follows the confirmed Stripe subscription status. Canceling does not automatically request a refund; contact the service operator regarding billing errors or refund requests. Any rights required by applicable law are unaffected. Planned features are not included paid benefits until explicitly available.
Business-plan drafts
Budgets and financial scenarios use your inputs and illustrative starting assumptions. They are not supplier quotations, profit forecasts, lender approvals or determinations of licensing compliance. You must verify fees, agency requirements and business-address jurisdiction before committing funds.
