Terms of Service
Last Updated:
Acceptance and Scope
By accessing or using Neighborhood-Insights (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service and the related Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
The Service is a public website for exploring U.S. demographic and housing information. Unless we say otherwise in writing, your permission to use the Service is limited, revocable, non-exclusive, and for lawful use of the website and its outputs.
Informational Use Only
The Service is provided for general informational purposes only. Neighborhood-Insights is not a substitute for official government publications, due diligence, or professional advice. The data, analyses, exports, maps, and summaries provided through the Service should not be treated as legal, financial, investment, real estate, housing, planning, compliance, or other professional advice.
Data Sources and Accuracy
Neighborhood-Insights uses public data sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau and the American Community Survey, and also applies its own processing, normalization, geometry matching, and aggregation methods. As a result, outputs may differ from official published tables or other tools.
We do not guarantee that the Service or any output is accurate, complete, current, error-free, suitable for a particular purpose, or available without interruption. You are responsible for independently evaluating any information before relying on it.
Disclaimer of Professional Advice
You should consult appropriate professionals before making decisions involving housing, lending, investment, site selection, compliance, legal rights, or other high-stakes matters. Use of the Service does not create any advisory, fiduciary, or professional-client relationship.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
- Use the Service or its outputs as the sole or primary basis for decisions about housing, employment, credit, insurance, lending, tenant screening, eligibility, or other decisions regulated by law.
- Use the Service in a way that is discriminatory or unlawful.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure.
- Interfere with the operation or security of the Service.
- Use bots, scraping, or repeated automated requests in a way that imposes an unreasonable load on the Service or connected third-party services.
- Misrepresent the Service as official government data, advice, or endorsement.
- Use the Service in any manner that violates these Terms of Service or applicable laws.
- Engage in any activity that could harm the Service or other users.
Third-Party Services and Source Data
The Service may rely on third-party services, maps, APIs, hosting providers, analytics providers, and public data sources. Your use of those underlying services or datasets may also be subject to separate terms, licenses, attribution rules, or usage limits.
Source data from the U.S. Census Bureau remains attributable to the Census Bureau. Any conclusions, transformations, or derived outputs presented through Neighborhood-Insights are our presentation of that data and are not official government statements.
Intellectual Property and Limited License
The Service's code, site design, branding, text, and original presentation are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, you may use the website and download or export results for personal, research, editorial, or internal business reference purposes.
These Terms do not claim ownership over public-domain source data obtained from third parties such as the U.S. Census Bureau. However, you may not copy, mirror, republish, resell, or create a competing service from the website's protected code, design, or non-public implementation without permission.
Availability and Changes
The Service may change, be updated, be suspended, or be discontinued at any time without notice. Features, datasets, endpoints, and outputs may also change over time as source data or implementation details change.
Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS 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, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEIGHBORHOOD-INSIGHTS, ITS DEVELOPERS, AND CONTRIBUTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, BUSINESS, REVENUE, OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR YOUR USE OF IT.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO USE THE SERVICE, IF ANY.
Privacy
Please review the Privacy Policy for information about cookies, logs, analytics, and the limited browser-side state used by the Service.
Changes to These Terms
These Terms of Service may be updated from time to time. Changes become effective when posted on this page, and continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Service is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
