Territory terms
Last updated 2026-08-27. Hard Water Feed, a DBA of Compton Consulting Incorporated (Ohio). These terms apply to every territory
subscription.
1. What you are buying
A territory is a named 75-mile service radius, with the counties it
contains published on the territory map. Each week you receive every newly filed domestic
water well in it, ranked by the measured hardness of the groundwater near each property,
with a printable water report for each one.
One dealer per territory. For as long as your subscription is active,
we will not sell that territory’s feed to another water treatment business.
What exclusivity is not
Worth saying plainly, because the gap between what you hear and what is true is where
arguments start:
- It is not a promise that nobody else learns about these wells. Every
record is a public state filing that anyone may download. What you are buying is the
qualification, the chemistry, the reports and the routing — and that
we will not sell them to your competitor.
- It is not a territory in which nobody else may operate. It is a list
nobody else gets from us.
- Neighbouring territories overlap at the edges, because a 75-mile
radius is not a boundary. A property near the edge of two radii appears in both feeds.
2. Billing, term and cancellation
- Billed every 4 weeks (13 payments a year). No minimum term.
- Either side may end it with 30 days’ notice, and
notice runs to the end of the period you have paid for. No refund of a period already
delivered; no charge for one not started.
- If a payment fails we will tell you at 7 days and the
subscription is treated as cancelled at 14 days. Fourteen days is
deliberate: it covers the card retries your bank makes, so a dead card is never mistaken
for a decision to leave.
- You can pause for up to 60 days. Your
territory is held and delivery stops. After 60 days it returns to open and you
may re-take it at the rate then current.
- If you cancel, the territory is released and may be sold to another dealer. There is
no hold, and re-entry later is at list price behind anyone waiting.
3. Price
- The price of a territory is set by its measured qualified volume and
published on the territory map. It is checkable, and it is not negotiated.
- Price changes require 30 days’ notice and never
apply mid-period.
- A founding rate is permanent for as long as your subscription runs
continuously. If you cancel, the territory returns to list price.
4. What you may do with the data
You may work the addresses, mail them, knock on them, put your own
branding on the homeowner reports, load the list into your own CRM, and keep everything
you have already received if you cancel.
You may not resell, sublicense or share the feed with another water
treatment business. That is the only restriction, and it exists because it is the one
thing protecting the exclusivity every other dealer is paying for.
A branded report still carries its data sources and its “not a test of this
well” statement. Branding is presentation, and that is enforced in our software
rather than left to agreement.
5. What we do not promise
Stated here rather than discovered later:
- Not a fixed number of leads. Filing volume is bursty and some weeks
are empty. A territory rather than a county is sold precisely because the aggregate is
steadier.
- No timing better than the state’s own. The week is the
filing week. Wells are often filed weeks after they are drilled, and nobody
working from the public record can do better.
- No promise that a permit becomes a well. In Florida the trigger is a
construction permit issued before drilling. Some are never drilled.
- No claim about the water at a specific property. The chemistry is
measured from other wells nearby, and every report says so on its face.
6. Homeowner privacy
You receive property addresses and area chemistry. You do not receive owner names, and
we never publish them — our build fails if one appears. We hold
no telephone numbers for any property owner, so nothing in this product
can produce a cold call. See our privacy policy.
