Terms of Service — SPCC Plan Drafter

By using SPCC Plan Drafter (“the Service”), you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully before proceeding.

1. Software Tool — Not Professional Services

This software generates a Tier 1 SPCC plan template based on information you provide. The accuracy of the plan depends on the accuracy of your inputs.

2. Owner Responsibility and Self-Certification

You (the facility owner) are responsible for verifying the accuracy of all inputs and for self-certification under 40 CFR §112.6(a). The signed plan is your legal representation to EPA.

3. Tier 1 Only — Not for Facilities Exceeding Thresholds

This software is NOT a substitute for professional environmental engineering services for facilities exceeding Tier 1 thresholds (>10,000 gallons aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity, individual containers >5,000 gallons, or qualifying discharge history). Such facilities require certification by a licensed Professional Engineer.

4. No Engineering, Legal, or Consulting Services

This software does not constitute engineering services, legal advice, or environmental consulting. We are a software tool; you are the certifier.

5. No EPA Pre-Approval

EPA approval is not implied. SPCC plans are not pre-approved by EPA but are subject to inspection. Inspection outcomes depend on plan accuracy AND on-site implementation.

6. No Inspection Guarantee

We make no warranty that your facility will pass EPA inspection. Inspection passage depends on factors beyond plan documentation, including physical containment adequacy, training implementation, and inspection records.

7. Payment and Refunds

Payment of $499 is due before plan generation. If plan generation fails due to a system error on our end, we will issue a full refund. No refunds are issued once the plan PDF has been delivered. If you believe your facility does not qualify for Tier 1 and this was not caught by our eligibility check, contact us within 7 days for a review.

8. Data Privacy

We collect facility information and contact details necessary to generate your SPCC plan. See our Privacy Policy for details on data handling, retention, and your rights.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SPCC Plan Drafter and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including EPA fines, penalties, remediation costs, or third-party claims arising from the use of this software. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the service ($499).

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
