Terms of Service
Last updated: May 11, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of GroundShapers.com and any related services, products, and software (collectively, the "Services") provided by GroundShapers.com ("GroundShapers.com," "we," "us"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. What GroundShapers is — and is not
GroundShapers operates an online platform that (a) supplies and certifies engineered ground products, and (b) connects property owners ("Customers") with independent installers ("Pros") who perform construction work. GroundShapers is not a construction contractor, a general contractor, an employer of any Pro, or a joint venturer with any Pro. GroundShapers does not perform site work, does not warrant a Pro's workmanship, and is not a party to any contract you enter with a Pro.
Every Pro is an independent business that (i) contracts directly with the Customer, (ii) is responsible for its own licensing, insurance, permits, scheduling, pricing, change orders, and workmanship, and (iii) is solely responsible for compliance with local, state, and federal law.
"Certified" on this Site refers to GroundShapers product certifications (e.g., trained on a specific product system). It does not mean GroundShapers has verified a Pro's licensing or insurance unless that is expressly stated in writing.
2. Beta program — invite only
Portions of the Services are offered as a Beta program by invitation only. Beta features are provided "as is," may change or be discontinued at any time, and may contain bugs or incomplete functionality. Information you receive during Beta (including project pipeline, pricing tools, lead volume, or marketing materials) is not a guarantee of any business outcome.
3. No earnings or project guarantee
Any references to lead volume, revenue, or growth on the Site are examples or aspirational and are not guarantees. Actual results vary based on market, capacity, pricing, and many factors outside our control. GroundShapers does not guarantee that any Pro will receive a particular volume of leads, projects, or revenue.
4. Customer responsibilities
- Provide accurate information when requesting a project assessment.
- Independently verify the licensing, insurance, references, and pricing of any Pro before signing a contract or making payment.
- Review and sign your contract directly with the Pro — not with GroundShapers.
- Resolve workmanship, scheduling, payment, or warranty disputes directly with the Pro.
5. Pro responsibilities
- Maintain all licenses, insurance, bonds, and permits required for the work.
- Contract directly with the Customer; carry all workmanship warranties.
- Comply with TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and all applicable consumer-protection laws.
- Use GroundShapers product systems in accordance with published specifications.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to: (a) misuse the Services; (b) attempt to access another user's account; (c) interfere with security features; (d) scrape, copy, or resell content from the Site without permission; or (e) use the Services in violation of law.
7. Intellectual property
The Site, including all text, graphics, software, product names, and marks (including "GroundShapers" and "BaseCore"), is owned by GroundShapers or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access the Site for personal and business evaluation only.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. GROUNDSHAPERS DOES NOT WARRANT THE WORKMANSHIP, CONDUCT, OR OUTCOMES OF ANY PRO. PRODUCT WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARE LIMITED TO THE WRITTEN WARRANTY ACCOMPANYING THE PRODUCT.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GROUNDSHAPERS AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTRACT BETWEEN A CUSTOMER AND A PRO. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID GROUNDSHAPERS IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GroundShapers from any claim, demand, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Services, (b) any contract you enter with a Customer or Pro, (c) your breach of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.
11. Governing law & venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
12. Changes
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version. Material changes will be highlighted. Your continued use of the Services after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
