Terms of Service
The rules for using ReadySWPPP, in plain words. The short version comes first.
The short version
Effective November 14, 2026.
- ReadySWPPP is software. It builds a Texas construction stormwater plan (SWP3) from TCEQ's permit and your answers. It is not engineering, legal advice or a government service.
- You are the operator. You review, sign and carry out your plan, and you stay responsible for following the permit, local rules and the controls on the ground.
- A plan costs $299 for a small site or $499 for a large site, one time. Full refund within 7 days of purchase.
- If an inspector finds a required SWP3 part missing from a plan we generated, we fix it within 1 business day and refund the plan.
- Active Site is optional: free for 30 days, then $49 a month per site until you cancel or close out the site. Cancel in one tap.
- We keep your site records read-only for at least 3 years after closeout. Keep your own copies too.
- ReadySWPPP is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney or a licensed professional engineer.
- ReadySWPPP is independent and not affiliated with TCEQ or any government agency.
Who we are
ReadySWPPP is a brand of ZapImpulso LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("we" or "us"). These terms are a contract between us and you, the person or company that uses ReadySWPPP. You can write to us at support@readyswppp.com.
If you use ReadySWPPP for a company, you accept these terms for that company and confirm that you may do so. You must be 18 or older.
You agree to do business with us electronically. When you check a box, tap a button or type your name to agree to something in ReadySWPPP, that is your signature on your agreement with us. We send notices to the email address on your account. Signatures on TCEQ records follow the separate rules under "Signatures" below.
What ReadySWPPP is, and what it is not
ReadySWPPP is software and written content. From TCEQ's construction general permit TXR150000 and your answers, it builds a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWP3) and fills in the TCEQ site notice. With Active Site, it also tracks inspections, rain and records.
- It is not engineering. We don't design engineered controls such as sediment basins, detention ponds, channels or permanent stormwater controls. No licensed engineer prepares, reviews or seals your plan. If your site needs engineered work, a licensed professional engineer must do it.
- It is not legal advice and it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.
- It is not a government service. The permit doesn't ask you to send your SWP3 to TCEQ: you keep it at the site and show it when asked.
- We don't file anything for you. A large site's Notice of Intent must be signed and filed in TCEQ's STEERS system by your own signer.
- We don't promise that you will pass an inspection or avoid a penalty.
The Limits page lists the sites and work ReadySWPPP doesn't cover, such as sediment basins, the Edwards Aquifer zones, oil and gas sites, and city rules beyond the state permit. If the checker or the builder finds one of them, it tells you and doesn't sell you a plan. If you learn later that your site is outside our limits, tell us and we refund the plan.
Your responsibilities as the operator
The permit puts the duty to comply on the operator. TCEQ's own template says: "As the owner or operator of the site, you must ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations."
- Give true and complete answers, and check every site fact we fill in: receiving water, segment, MS4 operator, Edwards zone, soils, slopes and dates.
- Read your whole plan before you sign it, and change anything that doesn't match your site.
- Follow your city, county and MS4 rules. Some ask for more than the state permit, such as an erosion plan sealed by an engineer.
- Install and maintain the controls on the ground, inspect on schedule and after rain, fix problems, and update your plan within 7 days when the permit says so.
- Have the right person sign each document, the right way (see "Signatures" below).
- Keep your records for 3 years, as the permit requires.
- Make sure the people you invite, such as inspectors and other operators, use ReadySWPPP properly.
Prices and payment
- Small-site plan: $299, one time, for a site the permit treats as a small construction site.
- Large-site plan: $499, one time, for a site the permit treats as a large construction site, with no sediment basin.
- The checker sorts your site by the permit's rules, and the price for your site is shown before you pay.
- Each plan includes the plan package, free edits in ReadySWPPP for 30 days, and the binder link with its QR code. After 30 days you can still download and print your plan and update it on paper. Editing it in ReadySWPPP after that needs Active Site.
- Active Site: $49 a month per site, after a 30-day free trial.
Stripe processes our payments. Prices are in US dollars and don't include sales or use tax. If we have to collect a tax, we'll show it before you pay.
Refunds and our accuracy promise
7-day refund. Ask within 7 days of buying a plan and we refund it in full. Use the refund button on your plan page or write to support@readyswppp.com. After a refund, the plan's binder link stops working.
Accuracy promise. If a TCEQ, EPA, city, county or MS4 inspector finds that a part of the SWP3 that the permit requires for your site is missing from a plan we generated, tell us within 30 days of the finding. We'll fix the plan within 1 business day after you tell us, and refund the plan price in full.
- "Required for your site" means required by TXR150000 for the facts you gave us.
- The promise covers the plan as ReadySWPPP generated it. It doesn't cover parts you changed, wrong or missing answers, site changes you didn't add, local rules beyond the state permit, or the work on the ground.
- Send us what the inspector found: a photo of the notice or report, or a short description.
- To the extent the law allows, the fix and the refund are your only remedy for a missing part.
Refunds go back to the card you paid with. Your bank may take several days to show them.
Active Site: the monthly service
Active Site watches the rain at your site, reminds you when inspections are due, gives your inspectors a checklist built from your plan, makes the reports, keeps the binder up to date and walks you through closeout.
- Free trial. 30 days, starting the day you turn it on. One free trial per site.
- Price and first charge. $49 a month for that site. Before you start, we show the date of the first charge and the card we'll charge.
- Renewal. After the trial, we charge $49 every month on the same date until you cancel or close out the site.
- Reminder and receipts. We email you at least 7 days before the first charge, with a link to cancel. We email a receipt for every charge.
- Cancel in one tap. Tap "Cancel Active Site" on the site's page, or use the cancel link in any billing email. If you cancel during the trial, you pay nothing. If you cancel later, there are no more charges, and the service runs to the end of the month you paid for.
- Closeout ends billing. When you finish the closeout steps for a site, Active Site for that site ends and we stop charging.
- Refund of a monthly charge. If you didn't want a charge, write to us within 7 days of it. We refund it in full and end Active Site for that site.
- Failed payments. If a charge fails, we email you and try again. If it still fails after 14 days, Active Site stops for that site, and so do its rain alerts and reminders. Your records stay.
- Price changes. We email you at least 30 days before a new price applies to your next charge. You can cancel before then.
Alerts help, but they are not a promise. Rain data comes from public weather sources and can be wrong, late or missing, and email can be delayed. You must still inspect on your regular schedule and within 24 hours after a storm of 0.5 inch or more, even if no alert reaches you.
Your records
We keep your plans, notices, inspection reports, photos and change log available read-only for at least 3 years after the later of two dates: the closeout date you record for the site, or the day Active Site ends for it. For a plan without Active Site, the 3 years count from the end date in your plan.
The permit makes you, the operator, responsible for keeping these records. Download them from your site page at any time and keep your own copies.
- Before we delete records at the end of that period, we email you at least 30 days ahead with a download link.
- If we ever stop offering ReadySWPPP, we'll give you at least 60 days' notice to download everything.
- If you keep your SWP3 electronically, the permit requires that it be readable like paper, legally valid, and immediately available to an inspector at the site. If the site has a weak phone signal, keep a printed copy there too.
Signatures
TCEQ has said that reports the permit requires must be signed in ink unless they are filed in its STEERS system. Until TCEQ confirms in writing that it accepts electronic signatures on them, ReadySWPPP asks you to sign these in ink:
- inspection reports, by the operator's signer or by a delegate named in a TCEQ-20403 letter;
- the TCEQ site notice, by the operator's signer, with the signed original kept at the site;
- the TCEQ-20403 delegation letter, which small sites mail to TCEQ;
- the plan's signature page, which each operator signs when operators share one plan.
ReadySWPPP prints each of these with a signature block. Add a photo of each signed page so your binder shows it, and keep the signed paper.
Site facts, maps and public data
ReadySWPPP fills in site facts from public government data, such as the US Census Bureau, USGS, TCEQ, USDA, FEMA, EPA and NOAA. That data can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. When we find nothing, we say "not found, please enter" instead of guessing. You confirm every fact before it goes into your plan.
Aerial photos may be old, and parcel lines and drawn areas are approximate. A ReadySWPPP map is not a survey.
Accounts, links and your team
We sign you in with links sent by email, and each inspector gets a private link for a site. Anyone who has a link can use it, so keep links private and turn off a person's link when they leave your team.
You own the information and photos you put in ReadySWPPP. You let us store and process them only to run ReadySWPPP for you, as our Privacy Policy explains.
You may print, copy and share your plan and records for your site with inspectors, your MS4 operator, other operators and your team. The ReadySWPPP software, website and our own text belong to us. Text from TCEQ's permit and template belongs to TCEQ, and we name TCEQ as its source.
Don't misuse ReadySWPPP. That means no false information, no use for sites outside Texas or outside our limits, no attempts to break into or overload the service, and no copying the service to build a competing one.
No other promises
Apart from the promises written in these terms, ReadySWPPP is provided as it is and as available. To the extent the law allows, we make no other warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We don't promise that the service will always be available or free of errors.
Limits on our liability
Please read this section. It limits what you can recover from us, including for our own negligence.
To the extent the law allows, our total liability for all claims about ReadySWPPP, including claims based on our negligence, is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event that led to the claim. We are not liable for lost profits, delays, fines or penalties imposed on you, or any indirect or consequential damages.
These limits don't apply to fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, to the refunds these terms promise, or to any liability or right that the law doesn't let us limit or waive, including rights under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act that can't be waived.
Disputes, governing law and courts
Texas law governs these terms and any dispute about ReadySWPPP, except where federal law applies.
If you have a problem, write to support@readyswppp.com first and give us 30 days to make it right, or any longer notice the law requires before a lawsuit. Most problems end with a fix or a refund.
You may bring a claim in small claims (justice) court, or in the state or federal courts for the Texas county where your site or your main office is. If we ever bring a claim against you, we'll bring it in that county. There is no arbitration and no class-action waiver.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version. If a change matters to you, for example to prices, refunds, billing or your records, we'll email you at least 30 days before it applies to your Active Site. A change never takes away a refund you were already owed. If you don't agree with a change, you can cancel before it applies.
Other terms
- These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about ReadySWPPP.
- If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
- If we don't enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later.
- We may transfer these terms to a company that takes over ReadySWPPP, after emailing you. You may not transfer them without our written OK.
- We aren't responsible for delays caused by events outside our control, such as outages at our hosting or payment providers or at public data sources.
