These Terms of Service were prepared as a working template tailored to our actual services. They are not legal advice and have not yet been reviewed by a licensed attorney. We recommend a qualified attorney review this document before you rely on it for any legal purpose.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and The Dirty Hands Report ("DHR," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of the DHR website at dirtyhandsoil.com and the Oil Platform mobile app ("Oil Platform" or "OPM"), together the "Services." For the mobile app, these Terms also serve as an End User License Agreement (EULA).
By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you are 18 or older and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The Services are intended for adults in the oil and gas workforce and are not directed to minors.
To use most features, you create an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your password secure, and remain responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us at admin@dirtyhandsoil.com if you suspect unauthorized use. You may delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete Account.
The Services include a social feed, a jobs board, navigation to well and disposal sites, a vendor marketplace ("The Yard"), an education area ("Knowledge Box" / Academy), a mental-health support module ("All Hands"), and related features. We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We provide the Services "as is" and do not guarantee they will always be available or error-free.
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Oil Platform app on a device you own or control, solely for your personal or internal business use and in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or sublicense the app except as permitted by law.
You own the content you create and post (your "Content"). By posting Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute your Content solely to operate and provide the Services (for example, showing your post to other users). This license ends when you delete your Content or your account, except for copies retained as required by law or already shared with others.
You represent that you have the rights to the Content you post and that it does not violate these Terms or any law.
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behavior. This is a professional community for people who work in the oilfield, and we intend to keep it that way.
You agree that you will not post Content or engage in behavior that:
You are solely responsible for your Content and conduct.
The app gives you tools to report content or users, to block users so you no longer see them or interact with them, and to mute users. Reported content can be flagged directly from the post or profile.
We review reports of objectionable content and abusive users and act on them. Our goal is to review and remove objectionable content, and to take action against the users who post it, within 24 hours of a report where reasonably possible. Actions we may take include removing Content, issuing warnings, and suspending or terminating accounts. We may act on violations with or without notice, at our discretion, to protect the community.
All Hands is peer support and resource information — it is NOT professional medical care, mental-health treatment, or crisis counseling. The people who respond in peer-support features are fellow community members, not licensed professionals.
If you are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the U.S.) or use the crisis resources listed in the app, which are always free.
Content and conversations within All Hands are provided by community members and are for peer-support purposes only. We do not verify, endorse, or take responsibility for advice shared by other users. To the fullest extent permitted by law, DHR is not liable for any decision you make or action you take based on Content or peer interactions in All Hands. Always seek the advice of a qualified professional for medical or mental-health concerns.
Some features require payment. Paid offerings currently include employer subscription tiers, the Well Finder Pro upgrade, the Knowledge Box / Academy one-time purchase, and The Yard vendor listings (Yard Basic and Yard Pro). Payments are processed by Stripe or, where applicable, through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. When you buy a subscription (such as an employer tier or a Yard listing), it will automatically renew at the end of each billing period, and the payment method on file will be charged the then-current price, unless you cancel before the renewal date.
You can cancel a subscription at any time. If you subscribed through the app, manage or cancel it in your account or through your Apple/Google account settings, as applicable. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then.
One-time purchases (such as the Knowledge Box) are charged once. Except where required by law or the applicable app store's policies, payments are non-refundable. Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are also subject to those stores' refund policies.
If you download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, your use is also subject to that store's terms. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and DHR, not with Apple or Google, and that Apple and Google are not responsible for the app or its support. Where required, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you as they relate to your license to use the app on Apple devices.
The Services — including our name, logo, branding, design, text, graphics, and software — are owned by DHR or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for your own Content and the limited license we grant you, nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you. You may not use our branding without our written permission.
You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Services or other users. Upon termination, your license to use the app ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including content licenses already granted, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute-resolution terms) will survive.
The services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that navigation or location data will be accurate, or that any content — including content posted by other users — is accurate or reliable. You use the services, including navigation to job sites and all hands peer support, at your own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, DHR and its owners, operators, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the services. This includes, without limitation, damages arising from your reliance on navigation data, on content posted by other users, or on all hands peer-support features.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DHR and its owners, operators, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your Content, your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of another person.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Dakota, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your home jurisdiction apply.
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. Except where prohibited by law, you and DHR agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, and you and DHR waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action. You may opt out of arbitration by notifying us at admin@dirtyhandsoil.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking relief in small-claims court for a qualifying dispute, or from seeking injunctive relief for intellectual-property or unauthorized-use claims. If any part of this section is found unenforceable, the remainder will still apply, except that a finding that the class-action waiver is unenforceable will void the agreement to arbitrate. Consumers in jurisdictions where such waivers are not permitted retain all rights those laws provide.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
