🏛️ Government Non-Affiliation Statement
LicenseGround is an independent, commercial data intelligence platform operated by DBZ GROUP. LicenseGround is NOT an official government agency, is NOT operated by any government body, and is NOT affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or endorsed by any federal, state, county, or municipal department.
This non-affiliation disclosure applies to all government bodies referenced across our platform, including without limitation:
- California Contractors State License Board (CSLB)
- Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR)
- Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR)
- New York City Department of Buildings (NYC DOB)
- Massachusetts Office of Public Safety and Inspections (OPSI) & Boston ISD
- City of Chicago Department of Buildings (Chicago DOB)
- Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC)
- United States General Services Administration (GSA / SAM.gov)
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA / US Department of Labor)
1. Nature of Public Records Data
The regulatory intelligence, trade classifications, workers' compensation dockets, surety bond information, Stop Work Orders, and safety citation records provided by LicenseGround are aggregated from publicly accessible government portals, official open-data feeds, and statutory freedom-of-information disclosures.
Under United States public records doctrine and established judicial precedents (including Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org and hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn), official government records are public domain materials accessible to all citizens and commercial organizations. LicenseGround adds value by normalizing, caching, and serving this data in sub-2ms machine-readable formats for autonomous AI agents and automated software workflows.
2. Data Freshness & Verification Recommendation
While LicenseGround synchronizes its high-speed in-memory caches continuously from official state registries, government agencies update, alter, suspend, and reinstate licenses on independent schedules. Government registries are subject to administrative delays, database maintenance outages, and human clerical errors.
Before executing high-value commercial construction agreements, releasing multi-thousand dollar progress draws, or issuing formal building permits, users and autonomous AI agents should verify mission-critical credentials directly against the primary issuing state board.
3. Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Compliance Notice
LicenseGround is not a Consumer Reporting Agency as defined by 15 U.S.C. § 1681a(f). You are strictly prohibited from utilizing any information obtained from this platform to make decisions regarding individual consumer credit, individual employment, residential tenant screening, or personal insurance.
Any use of the Service for consumer purposes represents a material breach of our Terms of Service and may expose the violator to statutory penalties under federal law.
4. Contractor Record Dispute & Correction Procedure
DBZ GROUP is committed to maintaining 100% fidelity to official public dockets. If you are a licensed trade contractor or corporate officer and believe that your regulatory record is inaccurately reflected on our platform (for example, due to a recent state license reinstatement or bond renewal not yet reflected in government cache syncs), please contact our compliance verification desk:
Expedited Corrections Desk: [email protected]
Required Info: State Jurisdiction, License Number, Official Legal Entity Name, and link to current state registry docket.
We investigate and refresh verified records within twenty-four (24) business hours of confirmation against primary state registrar sources.
