Terms of Service

Last updated: September 10, 2026

No legal entity has been registered for this product. The operator has not yet supplied a company name, address, or jurisdiction. These terms describe the intended use of this demonstration website and do not constitute a binding legal agreement until a registered entity is named and the terms are formally adopted. By using this site, you acknowledge this status.

Service description

Digrules is an excavation risk assessment tool that returns a named, cited list of applicable damage-prevention practices and regulatory requirements based on the user's description of a planned excavation. The tool is provided as a demonstration and informational resource.

Not a substitute for professional advice

Digrules is NOT a substitute for calling 811, NOT a locate request, and NOT engineering or legal advice. The output of this tool is a computed list of practices that may apply based on the input provided. It does not replace the judgment of qualified professionals, facility owners, or regulatory authorities. Always consult the applicable one-call center and facility owners before excavating.

No assurance of completeness

The rule engine checks a defined set of practices from the Common Ground Alliance Best Practices, OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P, and selected state one-call laws. Requirements vary by state, local jurisdiction, and facility owner. The tool may not identify every requirement that applies to a specific dig site. The absence of a requirement in the tool's output does not mean the requirement does not apply.

No liability

This tool is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind, express or implied. The operator disclaims all liability for any damages arising from the use or reliance on the information provided by this tool. Excavation decisions must be based on the judgment of qualified professionals and the requirements of applicable law, not on the output of this demonstration tool.

User responsibilities

You must call 811 at least 2 business days before any planned excavation to request a locate ticket.
You must not excavate until all facilities in the excavation area have been marked on-site.
You must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding excavation safety and damage prevention.
You must not use this tool as the sole basis for a safety decision regarding any excavation.

No accounts or stored data

Digrules does not offer user accounts, does not store excavation data server-side, and does not send email. No user registration is required. No user data is retained after a request completes.
