Terms of service

Last updated October 18, 2026

These terms cover your use of DocketDecoder, including the website at docketdecoder.com, the weekly newsletter, text message alerts and project reports. DocketDecoder is based at 6421 N. Florida Ave, Ste D, Tampa, FL 33604. By subscribing or buying a report, you agree to these terms.

What you get

DocketDecoder reports on public records from Hillsborough County, Florida, that relate to construction, zoning, planning and county contracts. The Standard plan includes the weekly digest by email. The Extractor plan adds mid-week text message alerts about priority filings and member pricing on project reports. A project report covers a single filing, with its source documents, parcel map links and commentary.

Prices and billing

• The Standard is $49 per month. The Extractor is $79 per month. A project report is $50, or less at member pricing.
• All prices are in US dollars. Applicable sales tax is added at checkout.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. DocketDecoder does not see or store your full card number.
• Subscriptions renew automatically every month on the date you first subscribed, and your card is charged at each renewal until you cancel.
• If a price changes, you'll get an email at least 30 days before the new price applies to your subscription.

Cancelling

You can cancel at any time using the manage-subscription link in any issue, or by emailing info@docketdecoder.com. Cancelling stops future renewals. You keep access until the end of the month you've already paid for.

Refunds

• Monthly subscription payments are not refunded for partly used months.
• If you were charged for a renewal after you meant to cancel, email us within 7 days of the charge and we'll refund it in full.
• If you were charged in error, or charged twice, we'll refund the incorrect charge in full.
• If a project report isn't delivered within 3 business days of purchase, you can ask for a full refund.

Refunds go back to the original payment method. Your bank may take 5 to 10 business days to show them.

Text message alerts

Extractor subscribers can opt in to First Mover Alerts by text message. By opting in, you agree to receive recurring automated alerts from DocketDecoder at the number you provide. Message frequency varies, usually a few messages a week. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop alerts at any time, and HELP for help, or email info@docketdecoder.com. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

About the information

Everything DocketDecoder reports comes from public records, and each item links to its source. Public records can be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and filings change after they're published. DocketDecoder is for information only. It is not legal, financial, investment or engineering advice. Check the original record before you rely on it for a bid, purchase or other decision.

Using the content

Your subscription is for you and your own business. You may not resell, republish or redistribute issues, alerts or reports, or share your account, without written permission. The underlying public records belong to the public; DocketDecoder's selection, summaries and commentary belong to DocketDecoder.

Limits of liability

To the extent the law allows, DocketDecoder is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or lost bids, arising from your use of the service. DocketDecoder's total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid in the 3 months before the claim.

Ending access

DocketDecoder may suspend or end an account that breaks these terms, for example by redistributing content. If DocketDecoder ends a subscription without cause, you'll get a prorated refund for the unused part of the month.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any dispute will be handled in the courts of Hillsborough County, Florida.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change in a way that matters, subscribers get an email before the change takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
