Groundwork Making Government data work for you

Terms of Service

Working draft. This matches how Groundwork actually works today. Have a lawyer look it over — particularly the governing-law section — before relying on it, especially once real payments are live for real customers.

Last updated: September 21, 2026. Groundwork is operated by Nuphase Solutions.

1. What Groundwork is

Groundwork generates a salary-benchmark report from public U.S. government wage data (Department of Labor LCA disclosure filings, Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS survey data, and other public sources listed in the report itself). It's informational only — not legal, immigration, tax, or financial advice, and not a guarantee of what any employer will offer or agree to.

2. Accuracy

We source every figure from public records and label sample sizes and approximations directly on the report. We don't guarantee completeness or accuracy of the underlying government data, and a small sample size can make an estimate unreliable even when it's presented — the report says so when that's the case. Use your own judgment alongside it.

3. Payment and reports

Every browser's first report unlocks free. After that, a report unlocks by either a one-time single-report purchase or a multi-report pack; pack credits don't expire and can be used on any future search from the same browser. Payments are processed by Stripe — we never see or store your full card details.

Refunds: if a report was mismatched or clearly wrong due to a fault in the service, contact us and we'll make it right. Otherwise, because a report is generated and delivered instantly on payment, purchases are non-refundable once the full report has been unlocked.

4. Acceptable use

Reports are for your own personal use in evaluating a job or negotiation. Please don't scrape, systematically re-download, or resell the underlying data or reports.

5. No warranty, limitation of liability

Groundwork is provided "as is." To the extent permitted by law, Nuphase Solutions isn't liable for decisions made based on a report, or for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from using the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the report in question.

6. Changes

We may update these terms as the product changes; the "last updated" date above will reflect the latest version.

7. Governing law

[Placeholder — needs real legal input.] Nuphase Solutions is an Australian business; Groundwork's data, audience, and pricing are U.S.-focused. Which jurisdiction's law actually governs these terms is a real cross-border question a lawyer should settle, not something to guess at here.

8. Contact

[Placeholder — add a real support address once you have one.]

Wage data: U.S. Department of Labor OFLC LCA Disclosure Data and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS. LCA filings reflect sponsored-worker wage offers, which skew toward mid-large employers and specific occupations — treat any estimate built from a small sample cautiously. Informational only; not legal, immigration, or financial advice.
