1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and OGLandman LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("OGLandman," "we," "us," or "our"), the company behind the TRRC Permit Tracker, the M&A Directory, and the County Records Directory (together, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. The Services are intended for business and professional use in oil and gas acquisition, not for personal, household, or consumer use. If you use the Services on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.
2. The Services
OGLandman provides free research tools for oil and gas mineral, royalty, and working-interest acquisition:
- TRRC Permit Tracker: a free tool that publishes Texas Railroad Commission drilling-permit records, refreshed each morning and searchable by county, operator, and lease. Opening the full search requires an email address.
- M&A Directory: a free, open database of oil and gas corporate transactions and operator lineage.
- County Records Directory: a free reference to where county land records live, with coverage dates traced to public sources.
All of the Services are currently provided free of charge and may change or be discontinued at any time. We may add, modify, or remove features across any of the Services. OGLandman does not currently sell any product or subscription; if a paid product is offered in future, separate subscription terms will be presented and must be agreed to before any charge is made.
3. Accounts and Team Access
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide when creating an account and for keeping it current. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@oglandman.com if you suspect unauthorized use.
The Services do not currently require an account. Where you provide an email address (to open the permit search, or to receive a county permit digest), you are responsible for the accuracy of that address and for the use made of the Services from it.
4. Fees
There are currently no fees. OGLandman does not sell a subscription, does not take payment details, and does not meter usage. Sections covering subscriptions, trials, billing, usage credits, refunds, and cancellation were removed on 27 July 2026 when the paid product they described was withdrawn.
If OGLandman offers a paid product in future, its pricing and billing terms will be published and presented for agreement before any charge is made. Nothing in these Terms authorises a charge to you.
5. Your Data and Content
You retain all ownership of the data and content you submit to the Services, including owner records, deal information, call logs, uploaded documents, and templates ("Your Data"). We do not sell Your Data, and we do not use it for advertising.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Data solely to provide and maintain the Services for you, including through the subprocessors described in our Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant that you have the rights necessary to submit Your Data and to grant this license, and that Your Data and your use of the Services comply with applicable law.
Permit results you view can be exported to CSV at any time. The only personal data the Services currently hold is an email address you chose to give us, to open the permit search or to receive a county permit digest. You may ask us to delete it at any time by contacting support@oglandman.com.
6. Documents; No Legal, Title, or Investment Advice
OGLandman is not a law firm, is not your attorney, and does not provide legal, title, tax, or investment advice. Nothing in the Services is a substitute for review by a qualified professional.
The Services do not perform title work such as runsheets, chain-of-title, abstracting, or curative, and do not verify ownership or interest. The Permit Tracker, M&A Directory, and County Records Directory present information drawn from public records and other sources; coverage dates are noted where provided, and you should confirm any result against the official source before relying on it. Permit data is refreshed once daily from the Texas Railroad Commission and is not a real-time feed.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the Services to violate any law or regulation, or to infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights;
- upload malware, attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or other users' accounts, or interfere with the integrity or performance of the Services;
- scrape, resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Services or data from them except as expressly permitted;
- misrepresent your identity or your authority to bind an organization; or
- use the Services to send communications in violation of applicable law.
The Services do not place calls or send messages on your behalf; any calling, texting, or mailing you undertake using information found here is outreach you conduct yourself. You are solely responsible for that activity and for complying with the laws that govern it, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and applicable do-not-call and consent rules.
8. Intellectual Property
The Services, including the software, design, and the OGLandman and Scout names and logos, are owned by OGLandman and its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. (Scout is a product currently withdrawn from sale; the name and mark remain ours.) We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes, subject to these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them to improve the Services, without obligation to you.
9. Third-Party Services
The Services rely on third-party providers for hosting, email delivery, and analytics. No payment processor is in use, because nothing is sold. Third-party providers are responsible for their own services, and we are not liable for them. The subprocessors page lists who they are.
10. Disclaimers
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any data, permit record, transaction record, or AI-assisted result is accurate, complete, or current. You use the Services and rely on any result at your own risk.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, OGLandman and its officers, members, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Services, even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless OGLandman and its officers, members, and suppliers from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Your Data, your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
13. Term and Termination
These Terms apply while you use the Services. You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or use the Services in a way that risks harm to us, other users, or third parties. We may also discontinue any tool at any time.
On termination, your right to use the Services ends. The Your Data section governs export and deletion after termination. Provisions that by their nature should survive, including data ownership, the license you grant on feedback, intellectual-property ownership and reservation of rights, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, the Governing Law and Disputes section, and the General provisions, survive termination.
14. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at support@oglandman.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
If the dispute is not resolved, you and OGLandman agree that the state and federal courts located in Midland County, Texas have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will provide notice by email or in-app notification at least 30 days before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
16. General
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and OGLandman regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, labor disputes, governmental action, and failures of third-party networks, utilities, or providers.
