Terms of Use

The rules for using SepticTankLab: what you may do with our content, what we promise, and what we do not.

Last updated: August 15, 2026

These terms govern your use of septictanklab.com, published by NET STUDIO LLC, 1501 South Greeley Hwy, Ste C #1386, Cheyenne, WY 82007, United States. By using the site you accept them. If you do not, please stop using it.

What this site is

SepticTankLab is an independent publisher of general reference material about onsite wastewater treatment systems — septic tanks, drain fields, and the costs, rules and decisions attached to them. It is written for homeowners in the United States.

We are not a contractor, an inspector, an engineer of record, an insurance broker, or a licensing authority. We do not perform work, arrange work, or take a commission from anyone who does. Nothing on this site creates a professional relationship of any kind between you and us.

No professional advice

Everything here is general information, not advice about your property. Septic regulation is set county by county and changes often. Soil, water table, setbacks, tank sizing rules and permit requirements differ across a single state line and sometimes across a single road.

Before you spend money or make a decision, confirm it with your county health department and a licensed local professional. Cost figures on this site are national ranges collected for orientation; they are not quotes and they are not binding on anyone.

Accuracy and currency

We research carefully and date what we publish. We still get things wrong, prices move, and rules change without telling us. We make no warranty that any page is complete, current or free of error. If you find a mistake, please tell us — corrections are described in our Editorial Policy.

Intellectual property

The text, tables, diagrams, calculators, layout and code on this site are © NET STUDIO LLC unless credited otherwise. You may:

  • read, print and save pages for your own personal, non-commercial use;
  • quote a short extract — up to roughly 90 words — with clear attribution and a working link back to the page you took it from.

You may not republish, mirror, translate, resell or bulk-scrape the content, use it to train a commercial model, or reproduce our tables and diagrams elsewhere, without written permission. Requests are usually granted; ask first.

Acceptable use

Do not attempt to break, overload, probe or gain unauthorised access to the site or its infrastructure. Do not use automated tools to harvest the content at a rate that degrades service for readers. Do not submit unlawful, defamatory or deliberately misleading material through any form or comment field.

User submissions

If you send us a comment, a correction or an invoice figure, you keep ownership of it, and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish it in anonymised or aggregated form as part of our cost research. We may edit for length and clarity, and we may decline to publish anything at all. Do not send us confidential information.

This site carries third-party advertising, principally through Google AdSense. Ads are selected by Google, not by us, and their presence is not an endorsement. We also link to outside sources — government agencies, university extension services, industry bodies. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, their accuracy, or their privacy practices.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, NET STUDIO LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NET STUDIO LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive loss, or for any loss of profit, data, or property, arising out of your use of, or inability to use, this site — including any decision you take on the basis of a cost range, a calculator output or a regulatory summary published here. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to one hundred United States dollars.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, where that limitation would be unlawful.

Availability

We do not promise the site will be uninterrupted. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it at any time, including guides and calculators, without notice.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms. The version in force is the one published on this page, with the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Wyoming have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings locally.
