These terms govern your use of Scottish Trade Intel ("the Service"), operated by Scottish Trade Intel ("we", "us", "our").
Scottish Trade Intel provides weekly planning application intelligence to subscribers. We filter, score, and deliver validated planning applications from Scottish council planning portals as a PDF document sent to your email address every Monday.
By subscribing to the Service, you agree to pay the subscription fee for your chosen tier (Starter, Local Pro, or Regional) on a recurring monthly basis. Payment is processed via Stripe. Your subscription will automatically renew each month unless you cancel.
Billing: You will be charged on the same day each month as your initial subscription date. If you subscribe on the 31st of a month, billing may occur on the last day of months with fewer than 31 days.
Council Area Selection: You choose which Scottish council areas to receive leads for based on your subscription tier. You may change your selected council areas at any time by contacting us at hello@scottishtradeintel.co.uk.
Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel, you will continue to receive the Service until the end of your current billing period, after which your subscription will not renew.
Refund Policy (The Trade Intel Pledge): If any issue feels like spam or does not provide value, contact us within 7 days of receiving that issue and we will refund the pro-rated cost of that week. No questions asked.
No Partial Refunds for Unused Time: We do not provide refunds for unused portions of a subscription period except as specified in our refund policy above.
Planning application data is sourced from public Scottish council planning portals. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, we do not guarantee that all information is complete, current, or error-free. Planning application data is provided "as is".

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
