Terms of Service

Effective September 21, 2026. These terms are between you and Barrio Resources LLC, doing business as Barrio Energy ("Barrio", "we"), and cover barrioenergy.com and the Barrio Grid Connector (grid.barrioenergy.com), including its MCP server, REST API and any API keys (the "Service").

Use of the Service

• You may use the Service, directly or through an AI assistant, to look up Texas power grid siting information for your own business purposes.
• Do not resell, sublicense, or redistribute data from the Service, in bulk or in part, and do not include it in any product, database, report series or service offered to others.
• Do not scrape, crawl, tile or systematically download the Service, through the map, the API, the MCP server or an AI assistant, and do not use its output to build, enrich or benchmark a competing dataset or to train or fine-tune a machine learning model.
• Do not try to exceed rate or usage limits, including by opening multiple accounts, rotating keys or IP addresses, or sharing keys or sessions.
• Sharing individual results with your colleagues, clients or advisors as part of your own work is fine.
• Keep your API key private. You are responsible for use of your key.

Data and accuracy

The Service combines public data (HIFLD, ERCOT, EIA, TNRIS StratMap, US Census) with Barrio research. It is screening information only. It is provided as is, may be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and is not engineering, legal or investment advice. Utility names are estimates. Confirm capacity, interconnection and land details with the utility and the relevant authorities before relying on them. Third-party data remains subject to its source's terms.

Ownership

Barrio owns the Service and its selection, arrangement and enrichment of the underlying data, including its research, geolocation, derived metrics and compiled datasets. These terms give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service; they do not transfer any ownership. Data licensed from third parties remains theirs.

Plans and billing

• Free use is subject to the daily limits published at barrioenergy.com/grid, which we may change.
• Pro is billed monthly in advance through Stripe and renews until cancelled. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period and the key is then revoked. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. Applicable taxes may be added.
• We may change prices with 30 days' notice to paying customers.
• Referral credits. Paying Barrio Grid Pro and Enterprise Lite subscribers may share a referral link. A new subscriber who signs up through it is billed on the same terms as any new subscriber; only accounts that have never held a paid Barrio Grid subscription qualify. When the referred subscription has paid its second invoice, the referring account receives a credit of 250 USD (500 USD if the referred subscription is on Enterprise Lite at that time), applied against the referring account's future Barrio Grid invoices before tax. Credits have no cash value, are not transferable or refundable, and are forfeited if the referring account is closed. Banked credit may not exceed twelve months of the referring account's plan price. One credit is earned per referred subscription. We may refuse or reverse a credit for self-referrals or any referral we reasonably believe is not genuine, and may change or end the program at any time; credits already earned remain usable on future invoices while the account is open.

Suspension

We monitor usage for bulk or automated extraction. We may suspend or end access for misuse, non-payment, or to protect the Service, and may change or discontinue features. If you breach the use restrictions above, we may also seek any remedy available at law or in equity, including an injunction.

Disclaimer and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, and Barrio's total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid Barrio for the Service in the 12 months before the claim. Barrio is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or lost profits.

Governing law

Texas law governs these terms. Venue is the state and federal courts in Harris County, Texas.

Changes

We will post changes here with a new effective date. Continued use after a change means you accept it.
