Terms of Service

By creating an account for this service, you agree to these terms and conditions.

The Gist

Flipwire operates the Plains Locator service, which we hope you use. If you use it, please use it responsibly. If you don’t, we’ll have to terminate your account.

The Terms of Service, Plains Locator itself, and our prices can change at any time. We’ll warn you 30 days in advance of any price changes. We’ll try to warn you about major changes to the Terms of Service or Plains Locator, but we make no guarantees.

Plains Locator is not a replacement for a proper site survey.

That’s the basic idea, but You must read through the entire Terms of Service below and agree with all the details before You use our service (whether or not you have created an account).

If you have any questions or concerns about our terms of service, please contact us: support@plainslocator.com.

In order to use the Service, You (the “Customer”, “You”, or “Your”) must first agree to the Terms. You understand and agree that Flipwire will treat Your use of the Service as acceptance of the Terms from that point onwards.
