Legal
Terms of Service
Effective May 26, 2026
Introduction
Welcome to Source Finder, operated by Nolan Enterprises LLC DBA Sparky's Metal Supply ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Source Finder application and related services (the "Service"). Our Privacy Policy, available at /legal/privacy, also governs your use of the Service.
By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy (the "Agreements"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service — but please let us know by emailing support@sourcefinder.us so we can try to find a solution. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.
Using Source Finder
Source Finder is a web-based application that provides sourcing and supplier-research capabilities through subscription-based and pay-as-you-go access. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. By using Source Finder, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Source Finder uses various data sources and search algorithms to provide sourcing information and supplier details
- The information provided through the Service is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional business advice or recommendations
- We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or currentness of any information provided through the Service
- We are not responsible for any business decisions, transactions, or relationships formed based on information obtained through the Service
- You are solely responsible for verifying any supplier information and conducting your own due diligence before engaging with any suppliers or vendors identified through the Service
- Usage limits apply based on your subscription tier, and exceeding these limits may result in service restrictions
- We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any of its features at any time without prior notice
You agree to use Source Finder only for legitimate business purposes and not for any illegal, fraudulent, or harmful activities. You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service or its underlying technology.
SCOUT AI feature
SCOUT is our AI-powered supplier-discovery feature that searches the open web for suppliers matching your query. SCOUT results are generated by automated systems and may contain inaccuracies, including incorrect contact information, outdated business listings, or suppliers that don't actually carry the material you searched for. You are responsible for verifying any supplier before transacting with them. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of any specific SCOUT result.
Communications
By creating an account on the Service, you agree to receive transactional communications related to your account (billing receipts, plan changes, security notifications) and onboarding emails during your free trial. You may opt out of onboarding and marketing emails by following the unsubscribe link in any such email or by emailing support@sourcefinder.us. Transactional communications cannot be opted out of while your account is active.
Accounts and account management
To use Source Finder you must create an account using a valid business email address. You guarantee that you are above the age of 18, that the information you provide us is accurate, complete, and current at all times, and that you have the authority to enter into these Terms. Inaccurate, incomplete, or obsolete information may result in the immediate termination of your account.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including but not limited to restricting access to your computer and account. You accept responsibility for all activities or actions that occur under your account, whether through direct access or through shared team access (for Team-plan subscribers). You must notify us immediately at support@sourcefinder.us upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.
You may not use as a username the name of another person or entity, a name that is not lawfully available for use, a name or trademark that is subject to the rights of another person or entity without authorization, or a name that is offensive, vulgar, or obscene.
Free trial
New accounts receive a 30-day free trial with Pro-equivalent access (100 database searches and 50 SCOUT AI discoveries). No payment method is required to start the trial. At the end of the trial, your account moves to a pay-as-you-go state until you select a paid plan or purchase a credit pack. Trial accounts that don't convert and don't purchase credits will retain access only to features available without an active allotment.
Subscriptions and billing
Source Finder subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis according to your selected plan (Starter, Pro, or Team) through our payment processor, Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the subscription fees. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled prior to the renewal date. Search usage limits are refreshed at the start of each billing cycle.
For Team-plan subscribers, you may invite team members to access Source Finder through our team-management features. You are responsible for all activity conducted by your team members and must ensure they comply with these Terms.
Search-credit packs ($25 for 10 credits) are one-time purchases that do not auto-renew. Credits do not expire. Credit packs are non-refundable once issued.
Existing customers who migrated from the legacy Source Finder product retain their original plan tier and pricing as long as their subscription remains active and uninterrupted (the "Grandfather window"). Canceling a legacy subscription terminates the Grandfather window; resubscribing afterward will be at then-current pricing.
We employ third-party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of purchases. By submitting your payment information, you grant us the right to provide it to these third parties subject to our Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel subscriptions at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected.
