Informational use

Terms of Use

The boundaries for using US Grid Explorer and its public-source infrastructure information.

Updated June 20, 2026

Informational purpose

US Grid Explorer is provided for general education, exploration, and preliminary research. It is not operational grid guidance, engineering advice, emergency information, legal advice, financial advice, or a substitute for verification with the responsible utility, regulator, agency, or property owner.

No completeness guarantee

Public datasets can contain errors, omissions, delayed updates, inferred fields, and conflicting records. Community-maintained data can be especially incomplete. Features may change or become unavailable without notice.

Safety and infrastructure

Do not use the site to enter restricted property, interfere with infrastructure, bypass security, or conduct unsafe activity. Map coordinates are not authorization for physical access.

Source rights and attribution

Underlying records remain subject to their publishers' terms, licenses, attribution requirements, and public-domain status. US Grid Explorer's interface and transformed presentation do not remove those obligations.

Availability

The site is provided without warranties of accuracy, availability, fitness, or uninterrupted operation to the extent permitted by applicable law. Verify consequential decisions with authoritative sources.

Contact and changes

Questions about these terms can be sent to contact@usgridexplorer.com. These terms may be revised as accounts, analytics, advertising, APIs, or additional data products are introduced. Material changes will be reflected by the updated date on this page.
