Terms of Service

Version 2026-08-15 (launch draft — under attorney review). These Terms are a binding agreement. Please read them; they include disclaimers of warranties, a release of claims, a limitation of liability, an arbitration agreement, and a class-action waiver.

1. Agreement and acceptance

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and Alamo Exploration LLC, a Texas limited liability company, doing business as Royalty Office (“Royalty Office,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account, clicking a box or button indicating acceptance, or using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, and you consent to transact with us electronically under the U.S. E-SIGN Act and the Texas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We record the date, time, account, and version of the Terms you accept, and that record is conclusive evidence of your acceptance.

2. What the Service is — and what it is not

The Service organizes public governmental records concerning Texas oil-and-gas wells and mineral ownership and applies mathematical models to them to produce estimates, projections, visualizations, and alerts (collectively, “Content”). The Content is provided strictly for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes. Estimates and projections are inherently speculative.

The Service is NOT, and you agree you will not treat it as:

  • investment, financial, legal, tax, accounting, engineering, geological, or other professional advice, or a substitute for any of them;
  • a statement of account, payment record, or billing document — your operator’s division orders, your lease, and your operator’s revenue statements exclusively govern what you are owed and paid;
  • a reserve report, fair-market-value opinion, appraisal, or valuation of any property;
  • a title opinion, title examination, runsheet, or determination of ownership of any interest;
  • an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, lease, retain, or otherwise transact in any mineral or royalty interest or any other asset; or
  • brokerage, landman, advisory, or fiduciary services of any kind.

No fiduciary, advisory, attorney-client, or other professional relationship is created by your use of the Service, by any communication with us, or by any Content. For decisions of any consequence, retain your own licensed attorney, certified public accountant, petroleum engineer, or other qualified professional.

3. Data sources, limitations, and errors

Content derives from public records (including Railroad Commission of Texas filings and county appraisal district mineral rolls) and from models applied to them. You acknowledge that:

  • public records contain errors, omissions, misspellings, and delays, and we do not and cannot independently verify them;
  • Texas reports oil production at the lease level; per-well figures are mathematical allocations, not measurements;
  • production data is published on a substantial lag (typically two to four months) and recent months may be incomplete or restated;
  • ownership rolls are updated periodically and may not reflect transfers, probate, divorces, foreclosures, or corrections;
  • decline-curve models, price assumptions, tax and deduction assumptions, and every other modeling choice involve judgment and simplification, and actual outcomes WILL differ, possibly materially; and
  • a well, permit, or interest shown as associated with a name — including yours — may in fact belong to a different person, may be misattributed, or may not exist as described.

4. NO RELIANCE

YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT FOR ANY DECISION OR PURPOSE OTHER THAN GENERAL INFORMATION, AND THAT ANY RELIANCE YOU NEVERTHELESS PLACE ON THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOU AGREE NOT TO USE THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT AS A BASIS FOR: BUYING, SELLING, LEASING, RETAINING, GIFTING, DEVISING, OR ENCUMBERING ANY PROPERTY OR INTEREST; ACCEPTING OR REJECTING ANY OFFER; BORROWING OR LENDING; TAX OR ESTATE PLANNING; LITIGATION OR DISPUTE DECISIONS; EMPLOYMENT, RETIREMENT, OR OTHER LIVELIHOOD DECISIONS; OR ANY OTHER DECISION OF FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR PERSONAL CONSEQUENCE. BEFORE ANY SUCH DECISION, YOU WILL INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY ALL MATERIAL FACTS FROM AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES AND CONSULT QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS OF YOUR OWN CHOOSING.

5. Forward-looking estimates

Projections in the Service apply published futures prices, held flat beyond quoted tenors, to modeled volumes, less modeled taxes and deductions. They are not predictions of prices, production, or payments; they are arithmetic on stated assumptions. We do not state or imply that you will receive any amount of money at any time. Statements such as an expected division-order or payment window are descriptions of general statutory timelines, not promises of payment or legal advice about your situation.

6. Accounts, claims, and verification

  • You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. You are responsible for your credentials and for activity under your account.
  • “Claiming” an owner card associates your account with public-record entries. It is not a determination that you own anything, and our verification steps (mailed codes, document review, database checks) are fraud-deterrence measures, not title work. We may grant, deny, limit, or revoke any claim at our discretion, including where records are ambiguous or contested.
  • Multiple persons may claim overlapping interests (families and estates are complicated); we do not adjudicate disputes and may show the same records to multiple verified claimants.
  • You represent that information and documents you submit are yours to submit and accurate, and that you have a good-faith basis to act for any entity you claim.
  • You consent to our use of third-party identity- and records-verification services in connection with your claims.

7. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

  • Paid plans bill in advance, monthly or annually, and AUTOMATICALLY RENEW at the then-current price until canceled. Renewal terms are disclosed at checkout.
  • You may cancel at any time in your account settings or by emailing support; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law or expressly stated, fees are non-refundable; annual plans may be pro-rated within the first 60 days as described at checkout.
  • We may change prices or features prospectively with reasonable notice; continued use after the effective date is acceptance.
  • Taxes are your responsibility where applicable.

8. Affiliation, internal marketing, and data

Royalty Office is operated by Alamo Exploration LLC, whose affiliates engage in the acquisition and leasing of mineral and royalty interests (the “Corporate Family”). You acknowledge this affiliation, and you agree that:

  • we may use your contact information and account information WITHIN the Corporate Family for internal business purposes, including sending you marketing about products and services of the Corporate Family — which may include offers to purchase or lease mineral or royalty interests;
  • we do NOT sell your personal information to unaffiliated third parties;
  • you may opt out of marketing communications at any time (unsubscribe link, reply STOP to texts, or account settings), and opting out does not affect your subscription; and
  • any transaction you may ever enter with any member of the Corporate Family is a separate arms-length transaction, on its own terms, in which we do not represent you and owe you no advisory or fiduciary duty; you are encouraged to seek independent advice and competing offers.

Our Privacy Policy describes our data practices in full and is part of these Terms.

9. Acceptable use

  • No scraping, bulk export, resale, or redistribution of the Service or its data compilations; no benchmarking for a competing service.
  • No claiming interests you lack a good-faith basis to claim; no impersonation; no circumvention of verification or access controls.
  • No use of the Service to harass any person, to violate any law, or to infringe any right.
  • We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, abuse the Service, or create risk for us or others.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, its software, design, compilations, models, and Content are owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial informational purposes (or, on a Family Office plan, your organization’s internal informational purposes). Public records remain public; our selection, arrangement, enhancement, and presentation of them are ours. Feedback you provide may be used without restriction or compensation.

11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM US CREATES ANY WARRANTY.

12. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU, FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS, IRREVOCABLY RELEASE, WAIVE, AND DISCHARGE ROYALTY OFFICE, ALAMO EXPLORATION LLC, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OWNERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND DATA PROVIDERS (THE “RELEASED PARTIES”) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION OF EVERY KIND, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (a) THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT; (b) ANY ERROR, OMISSION, DELAY, OR INACCURACY IN ANY CONTENT; (c) ANY ESTIMATE, PROJECTION, ALERT, OR STATEMENT IN OR FROM THE SERVICE NOT MATCHING ACTUAL EVENTS, WELLS, OWNERSHIP, PRODUCTION, OR PAYMENTS — INCLUDING ANY CLAIM IN THE NATURE OF “I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE X,” “I WAS SHOWN AS OWNING AN INTEREST I DO NOT OWN,” OR “AN INTEREST I OWN WAS NOT SHOWN”; (d) ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN IN ANY DEGREE OF RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT; AND (e) ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN YOU AND ANY OPERATOR, PAYOR, OR THIRD PARTY. IF YOU RESIDE IN A JURISDICTION THAT LIMITS RELEASES OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS (SUCH AS CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §1542), YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE BENEFIT OF ANY SUCH LIMITATION TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED. THIS RELEASE DOES NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE RELEASED AS A MATTER OF LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY ARISING FROM OUR FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) NO RELEASED PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR LOSS OF DATA, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY; AND (b) THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL RELEASED PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF FIFTY DOLLARS (US $50) OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, AND ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN WITHOUT WHICH WE WOULD NOT OFFER THE SERVICE AT ITS PRICE.

14. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, your violation of law or third-party rights, information or documents you submit, or disputes between you and any other claimant, family member, operator, or third party.

15. Dispute resolution — ARBITRATION AND CLASS WAIVER

  • Informal first. Before filing any claim, you agree to email legal@royaltyoffice.com a written description and give us 30 days to resolve it.
  • Binding arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief for intellectual-property misuse.
  • CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ALL DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER PARTY MAY PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS.
  • JURY WAIVER. To the extent any matter proceeds in court, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.
  • Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@royaltyoffice.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and intent to opt out.
  • The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section. Arbitration will be conducted in English, by videoconference or, if in person, in Bexar County, Texas, unless the administrator’s consumer rules require otherwise.

16. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts rules. Subject to Section 15, exclusive venue for any court proceeding is the state or federal courts sitting in Bexar County, Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

17. Changes, termination, survival

We may modify these Terms prospectively; material changes will be notified by email or in-product, and continued use after the effective date is acceptance. We may modify or discontinue the Service at any time. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections 2–5, 8, and 10–20 survive termination.

18. Communications

You consent to receive service and transactional communications electronically. Marketing communications are governed by Section 8 and our Privacy Policy; text-message programs are governed by their own posted disclosures and require separate opt-in.

19. Miscellaneous

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will stand — except that if the class-action waiver is held unenforceable as to a dispute, Section 15 is void as to that dispute. No waiver is implied from any failure to enforce. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them within the Corporate Family or in connection with a reorganization or sale. We are not liable for delay or failure due to events beyond our reasonable control. Section headings are for convenience only.
