Terms

Fence Plotter is a free planning tool. Here's what that means in plain language.

Not a survey

Lot lines come from county GIS records and are approximate. They are not a substitute for a professional land survey. If exact boundary placement matters — and near a property line it usually does — hire a licensed surveyor.

Not legal or code advice

Ordinance summaries, height limits, and fees shown here are informational and can be outdated or incomplete. Always confirm requirements with your city's building department before you apply or build.

No warranty

The tool and everything it produces are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. You are responsible for the accuracy of any application you submit and for anything you build.

If your plans disappear

Your plans are stored by your own browser, on your own device. We do not keep a copy, so we cannot get one back for you. There is no “restore from our servers,” because there is no server-side copy to restore from.

Browsers delete this kind of storage on their own. Safari, in particular, wipes it after roughly a week of not using the site — you can lose a plan without doing anything wrong, without a warning, and without any way for us to bring it back. Clearing your browsing data, using a private window, or switching devices will do the same thing.

If a plan matters to you, download it and keep the file. A file in your downloads folder is the only copy that survives all of the above.

What we're liable for

To the fullest extent the law allows: we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost plans, lost time, permit fees, rejected applications, rework, or the cost of tearing down or moving a fence. Our total liability for any claim relating to Fence Plotter is capped at what you paid us for it, which for the free tool is nothing.

Some states don't allow these limits, so parts of this may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability for fraud or for anything else that can't legally be limited.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute goes to the state or federal courts sitting in Wayne County, Michigan. If you are a consumer, this doesn't take away rights your own state gives you that can't be waived.

Fair use

Use the tool for planning real fence projects. Don't scrape, overload, or resell it.
