Regulatory & Accuracy Disclaimer

UST Compass, operated by USTex LLC, is scheduling and recordkeeping software. It is not a regulatory authority, a compliance certification, or a substitute for your own verification with the agencies that regulate your facilities.

Last updated August 3, 2026

1Regulatory data is provided "as-is"

THE REGULATORY CONTENT IN THE PLATFORM — INCLUDING TEST TYPES, STATE AND FEDERAL TEST INTERVALS, RENEWAL PERIODS, RECORD-RETENTION PERIODS, CITATIONS, AND SOURCE LINKS — IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE STRIVE FOR ACCURACY AND CITE SOURCES WHERE WE CAN, BUT WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY INTERVAL, DEADLINE, CITATION, OR APPLICABILITY DETERMINATION IN THE PLATFORM IS CORRECT, CURRENT, COMPLETE, OR APPLICABLE TO YOUR SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT, SITE CONDITIONS, OR OPERATING METHOD.

2You must verify every deadline yourself

YOU BEAR THE ULTIMATE AND NON-DELEGABLE RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY ALL TEST INTERVALS, COMPLIANCE DEADLINES, AND APPLICABILITY DETERMINATIONS DIRECTLY WITH YOUR STATE OR FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY, OR WITH A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL RETAINED BY YOU, BEFORE RELYING ON THEM.

A date shown in UST Compass is a reminder you or your team entered or accepted. It is not confirmation that a requirement applies to you, that the interval is correct, or that a regulator agrees. Treat every generated deadline as a prompt to verify, never as the verification itself.

3Environmental regulations change frequently

Underground storage tank regulations, state test intervals, permit conditions, and agency interpretations change frequently, and often without advance notice to software vendors. We do not guarantee real-time updates, zero-lag synchronization with any agency, or that the platform reflects amendments, emergency rules, variances, consent orders, or local requirements that took effect after our content was last reviewed.

Content in the platform may lag the governing rule by an unknown period. Where a rule and the platform disagree, the rule governs.

4We do not provide legal or regulatory advice

USTex LLC provides software. It does not provide legal advice, regulatory compliance counsel, engineering judgment, or professional certification through the platform, and no attorney-client, consultant-client, or other professional relationship is created by your use of it.

Nothing in the platform — including any interval, citation, status badge, checklist, or generated report — constitutes an opinion that you are, or are not, in compliance with any law or regulation. Retain qualified counsel or a licensed professional for those determinations.

5What the platform will not do on its own

The platform is deliberately built so that unverified regulatory research cannot become an automatic conclusion. In particular:

  • Draft, pending, conditional, or unverified regulatory research is review-only and does not create automated deadlines.
  • A requirement with conditional or multiple possible frequencies stays selectable, but requires you to choose an applicable interval before any deadline is created.
  • Requirements that cannot be attributed to a known facility state stay excluded until a state is recorded.
  • The presence of a default interval in a reference table is not, by itself, a determination that the requirement applies to your facility.

These safeguards reduce the chance of a confidently wrong deadline. They do not shift the verification obligation in Section 2 away from you.

6Notifications are a convenience, not a guarantee

Email reminders, in-app alerts, and summaries depend on systems outside our control — mail providers, spam filtering, your network, your device settings, and the accuracy of the contact details you maintain. We do not guarantee that any notification will be generated, delivered, received, or seen in time, and a missed or undelivered notification does not extend any regulatory deadline.

7Your records remain your responsibility

Documents you upload to the compliance binder are stored for your convenience. You remain responsible for maintaining your own complete records in the form and for the retention period your regulator requires, independent of the platform. Do not treat UST Compass as your only copy of a required record.
