Terms of Service

Version v2026-11-12 — Last updated November 12, 2026

Welcome to CountyLeads. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of CountyLeads (the "Service"), operated by CountyLeads LLC, a Utah limited liability company, 561 N 400 W, Orem, UT 84057 ("CountyLeads," "we," "us," "our"). By creating an account, clicking "I agree" or any equivalent button, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. The Service

CountyLeads is a subscription service that compiles records published by US county courts and other government offices, including probate, civil, foreclosure, and criminal case filings, and, for some counties, matching fields from county property-tax rolls (such as owner mailing address and assessed value). We deliver them weekly by email, in your dashboard (Excel and CSV), and, if you connect one, to your CRM. Which record types we cover varies by county and can change when a source changes. Optional paid add-ons are described at checkout.

1A. Who May Use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old and use the Service only for business purposes. The Service is not for personal, family, or household use.

2. Subscriptions and Billing

CountyLeads is offered on a monthly or annual subscription priced per county by volume tier (Each county is priced by its volume: XL $299 · Large $199 · Standard $129 · Small $69 per month). 15% off when you hold 3 or more counties. Pay annually and save 2 months. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the counties you select on a recurring basis until you cancel.

3. FCRA Compliance — NOT a Consumer Reporting Agency

CountyLeads is NOT a "consumer reporting agency" as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. The data we deliver is NOT a "consumer report" and is NOT subject to the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1786 et seq.

CountyLeads data MUST NOT be used to establish an individual's eligibility for, or as a factor in any decision regarding:

  1. credit or loans;
  2. insurance (including underwriting or evaluating risk);
  3. employment, promotion, reassignment, or volunteer screening;
  4. housing, residential leasing, or tenant screening;
  5. government licenses, benefits, or entitlements;
  6. debt collection, or the marketing or sale of debt-relief, credit-repair, or similar products or services; or
  7. any other "permissible purpose" enumerated in 15 U.S.C. § 1681b.

You represent, warrant, and covenant that you will not use the Service or any data derived from it for any purpose prohibited above. You are solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state, and local laws including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (ICRAA), Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), state telemarketing and "mini-TCPA" laws, the National Do Not Call Registry and state Do Not Call registries, CAN-SPAM Act, laws on soliciting heirs, estates, and homeowners in foreclosure, equity-purchase and foreclosure-consultant laws, attorney advertising and solicitation rules, and any state consumer-protection or data-privacy statute. We provide no phone numbers and no consent for calls or texts.

If we learn or reasonably suspect that you are using the Service for any FCRA-covered purpose, we may immediately suspend your account, terminate your subscription without refund, and report the misuse to applicable authorities. At signup you affirmatively acknowledged this Section 3 by clicking a checkbox; we retain a server-side record of that acknowledgment with timestamp, IP address, and Terms version.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use CountyLeads in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. In addition to the FCRA prohibitions in Section 3, you will NOT:

4A. Permitted Uses and Non-FCRA Carve-Out

CountyLeads data is licensed for internal business development by you and your employees only. The data is a compilation of public-record metadata; it is not a consumer report as defined by the FCRA (see Section 3), and it must not be used to make, or as a factor in, any "eligibility determination" within the scope of the FCRA.

Prohibited uses (non-exhaustive). You will not use CountyLeads data, in whole or in part, for:

  1. employment, contractor, or volunteer screening;
  2. tenant, roommate, or housing screening;
  3. credit, loan, or lending decisions;
  4. insurance underwriting, pricing, or claims-handling decisions;
  5. educational eligibility, admissions, scholarship, or financial-aid decisions;
  6. government license, benefit, entitlement, or assistance-program eligibility decisions; or
  7. any other "permissible purpose" or eligibility determination within the scope of 15 U.S.C. § 1681b or any state analog (including, without limitation, the California ICRAA).

Permitted uses (non-exhaustive). Subject to the prohibitions in this Section and Sections 3, 4B, and 5A, the data is licensed for:

Consequences of violation. Any use of CountyLeads data for a prohibited purpose is a material breach of these Terms and grounds for immediate, uncured termination of your account without refund. You will indemnify CountyLeads for all resulting damages under Section 8, and we will cooperate with any valid subpoena, civil-investigative demand, or law-enforcement request arising from such use.

4B. Anti-Harassment and Anti-Doxxing

CountyLeads exists to support lawful business outreach. Using delivered data to harm, intimidate, or target individuals is strictly prohibited. You will not use CountyLeads data, directly or indirectly, to:

  1. stalk, surveil, intimidate, threaten, or harass any individual;
  2. target, locate, or contact a victim or suspected victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking;
  3. identify, locate, or intimidate a witness, juror, or party to a pending or completed legal proceeding;
  4. publish, post, or otherwise disclose the location, residence, contact information, or other identifying details of any "protected individual" — including, without limitation, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, correctional officers, public defenders, child protective investigators, members of their immediate families, abuse survivors, and any other person protected by Daniel's Law (N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.1) or an analogous federal, state, or local statute;
  5. dox, de-anonymize, or expose the identity of any individual whose identity is not already a matter of public record in the same form; or
  6. engage in any conduct that violates federal, state, or local laws against harassment, stalking, cyberstalking, doxxing, intimidation, or witness tampering.

Consequences of violation. Conduct prohibited by this Section is a material breach and grounds for immediate termination of your account without refund. We will preserve and produce account records in response to any valid subpoena, court order, or law-enforcement request relating to such conduct, and we may report apparent violations to law enforcement on our own initiative. You will indemnify CountyLeads under Section 8 for any third-party claim, regulatory action, or harm arising from your violation of this Section.

4C. Criminal and Other Case Records

Some deliveries include criminal case filings. A filing, charge, or case listing is not a finding of guilt, liability, or default, and the case may since have been dismissed, amended, sealed, or expunged. You agree that you will:

  1. not state or imply that a person committed a crime or owes a debt based on our data;
  2. not use criminal-case data for any FCRA or eligibility purpose described in Sections 3 and 4A, or for employment, tenant, credit, insurance, or any other screening;
  3. not contact anyone about their criminal case, or use it to pressure or harass them;
  4. delete every copy of a record within 5 business days after we notify you that it was sealed, expunged, or removed; and
  5. verify a criminal record with the court before relying on it.

5. Intellectual Property

The CountyLeads service, including its software, design, and curation methods, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property law. The underlying public records data is in the public domain. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the data we deliver for your own business purposes for the duration of your subscription.

5A. License Scope and Resale Prohibition

Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use CountyLeads data for your own internal business development only, for the duration of your active subscription. The underlying records are public-domain government data, but the curated, deduplicated, structured, and delivered compilation we provide is licensed — not sold — to you.

Prohibited downstream uses. Without our prior written consent, you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

  1. resell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, or otherwise commercially redistribute CountyLeads data, in raw, derivative, or aggregated form;
  2. repackage, republish, post, syndicate, or display CountyLeads data on any public website, marketplace, app store, data exchange, or social media surface;
  3. create, contribute to, train, fine-tune, or augment any "people search," "public records lookup," "background check," "data broker," tenant-screening, employment-screening, skip-trace, identity-resolution, or similar consumer-facing or B2B information product using CountyLeads data;
  4. aggregate or merge CountyLeads data with any other dataset for the purpose of resale, redistribution, or creating a derivative list product;
  5. share, transfer, or expose your account credentials, API keys, magic links, delivery emails, or downloaded files with or to any person outside your business;
  6. permit any subsidiary, parent, affiliate, contractor, or agent to access the Service except as employees acting on your behalf under terms at least as restrictive as these; or
  7. use the Service or any data obtained through it to develop, train, or improve a competing public-records aggregation, delivery, or lead-generation product.

Service providers (narrow exception). You may share delivered data with a bona fide service provider (e.g., your CRM vendor, mailing-house, or licensed marketing agency) solely to perform services for you, provided that the service provider is bound by a written confidentiality and use-restriction agreement at least as protective as these Terms and uses the data only on your behalf. This is not authorization to resell.

Consequences of violation. Violation of this Section is a material breach and grounds for immediate termination of your account without refund. You will indemnify CountyLeads under Section 8 for all damages, lost licensing fees, and enforcement costs arising from the violation, and we will cooperate with any valid subpoena or law-enforcement request relating to the unauthorized redistribution.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA PROVIDED THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE DATA IS COMPLETE, ACCURATE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE. THE DATA IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS SUBJECT TO ERRORS AND OMISSIONS IN THE UNDERLYING PUBLIC RECORDS.

SOME FIELDS ARE EXTRACTED FROM SCANNED DOCUMENTS BY AUTOMATED OR AI TOOLS. PROPERTY MATCHES ARE MADE AUTOMATICALLY BY NAME AND ADDRESS. ADD-ON GRADES ARE ESTIMATES FROM IMAGERY THAT MAY BE YEARS OLD. ANY OF THESE CAN BE WRONG.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COUNTYLEADS LLC, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

8. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CountyLeads, CountyLeads LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, and contractors, and their respective affiliates from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

  1. your use of the Service or any data obtained through it;
  2. your violation of these Terms, including Section 3 (FCRA Compliance);
  3. your violation of any law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, CAN-SPAM, or any state consumer-protection or data-privacy statute;
  4. any claim by a person named in delivered public records alleging harm from your use of that data; or
  5. any infringement or misappropriation of any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights by your use of the Service.

We will give you prompt notice of any claim, and you will control the defense and settlement of the claim; provided that you will not settle any claim in a manner that imposes any obligation or admission on us without our prior written consent.

9. Account Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, abuse the Service, or use the data in a manner that exposes us or third parties to legal risk. We will provide reasonable notice when possible.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email at least 14 days before they take effect. Each version of the Terms has a version identifier (currently v2026-11-12); we record which version each user accepted at signup so we can prove which Terms apply to a given user. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the new version. Changes to Section 12 do not apply to disputes already notified.

11. Notice for Protected Individuals (Daniel's Law and Similar)

If you are a judge, prosecutor, law enforcement officer, correctional officer, public defender, child protective investigator, or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing — and your information may appear in a CountyLeads delivery — you may submit a removal request as described in Section 2A of our Privacy Policy. We act on requests within 10 business days of receipt.

12. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Informal Dispute Resolution (Required First Step)

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to email disputes@countyleads.ai with a written description of the dispute and your desired resolution. We will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days. If we cannot, either party may proceed to arbitration.

Binding Arbitration

ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT RESOLVED INFORMALLY SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) UNDER ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES (OR, IF THE AAA DETERMINES THIS IS A CONSUMER AGREEMENT, ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES). Arbitration shall take place in Utah County, Utah, or remotely by the customer's election. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION.

If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against us by the same lawyer or by lawyers working together, they are administered in batches of 25, and the arbitration fees are paid per batch.

Class Action Waiver

YOU AND COUNTYLEADS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS PROCEEDING.

30-Day Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing disputes@countyleads.ai with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account email. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms. If you opt out, disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Utah County, Utah, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Exceptions

Either party may (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, or (ii) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for intellectual property infringement or breach of confidentiality, without first submitting to arbitration.
