Legal
Terms of Use
Last updated: October 26, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the riverridgegeospatial.com website (the "Site") and your purchase of software licenses from River Ridge Geospatial LLC ("River Ridge Geospatial," "we," "us"). By using the Site or placing an order, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or place an order.
1. Who we are
River Ridge Geospatial LLC is an authorized distributor of GPR-IS ground penetrating radar imaging software. GPR-IS is developed by Dr. Dean Goodman and the Geophysical Archaeometry Laboratory. River Ridge Geospatial is a separate business and sells, delivers, and supports licenses as a distributor. We may also offer our own software products, which will be identified as such.
2. Software licenses
- Annual subscriptions. Licenses listed on the Site are annual subscription licenses. Each license is valid for one year from the date of purchase unless the order states otherwise, and renews automatically as described in Section 5.
- License terms. A license grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the software. Use of GPR-IS is also subject to the end-user license terms that accompany the software. If those terms conflict with these Terms about how you may use the software, the software license terms control.
- Add-on modules. Add-on modules are sold as separate optional licenses. Check the product description for any requirement to hold another license.
- Delivery. Licenses and download information are delivered electronically, usually by email to the address you provide at checkout. Please make sure that address is correct and can receive messages from us.
- Restrictions. You may not copy, share, resell, sublicense, reverse engineer, or circumvent license protections in the software except as the software license terms or applicable law permit.
3. Pricing, university discount, and taxes
- Prices are in U.S. dollars and shown per year. We may change prices at any time. A change does not affect an order you have already completed.
- Accredited universities and educational institutions may receive a 10% discount on listed license prices when they use the University pricing option. A separate flat-rate University Multi-Seat license covering up to ten seats is offered at the price shown on the Site. We may ask for proof of eligibility, and we may cancel or adjust an order that does not qualify.
- Applicable sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes are calculated and added at checkout where required, based on your location. You are responsible for any taxes not collected by us.
4. Payment
Payments are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment provider. By ordering, you authorize the charge to your selected payment method. We do not receive or store your full card number. Stripe's terms and privacy policy apply to the payment itself.
5. Renewals and cancellation
Annual licenses renew automatically for another one-year term at the then-current price, charged to the payment method used for the original purchase, unless you cancel before the renewal date. We will email you about 30 days before each renewal to tell you the renewal date and amount and how to cancel. You can cancel at any time before the renewal date by using the link in that email or in your Stripe receipt, or by emailing bryan@riverridgegeospatial.com. If you cancel, your license stays active until the end of the term you already paid for, and you will not be charged again. A cancellation does not refund a term that has already been charged, except as stated in Section 6 or required by law. If a renewal payment fails, we may suspend or end the license.
6. Trials, returns, and refunds
We encourage you to request a trial before you buy. Because software licenses are delivered digitally, sales are generally final once a license has been delivered. If the software does not work as described on the Site and we cannot resolve the problem, contact us at bryan@riverridgegeospatial.com and we will review your request in good faith. Nothing in this section limits rights you have under applicable law.
7. Support
For questions about orders, licenses, or installation, contact bryan@riverridgegeospatial.com. We will respond as promptly as we reasonably can. Support for the software itself may involve the software's developer.
8. Use of the Site
You agree not to misuse the Site, interfere with its operation, attempt to access it without authorization, or use it for any unlawful purpose. The Site's text, graphics, logos, images, and screenshots are owned by us, the software developer, or their licensors and may not be copied or reused without permission, except for fair or ordinary personal use such as sharing a link.
9. Trademarks
GPR-IS, GPR Slice, and other product or company names on the Site belong to their respective owners. Their appearance on the Site does not imply any endorsement beyond our status as an authorized distributor of GPR-IS.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site and the software are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Ground penetrating radar results depend on site conditions, equipment, data quality, and interpretation. Software output is a tool for qualified professionals and is not a guarantee of what lies below the surface. You are responsible for verifying results before relying on them for excavation, construction, safety, legal, or engineering decisions.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, River Ridge Geospatial LLC and its owners and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, arising from your use of the Site or the software. Our total liability for any claim relating to a purchase is limited to the amount you paid us for that purchase in the twelve months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Louisiana, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where the law of your location requires otherwise.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows the current version. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms. Orders you have already completed are governed by the Terms in effect when you placed them.
