Terms of Service
Last updated: August 2, 2026
What AuthorityWatch is
AuthorityWatch monitors publicly available FMCSA records (operating authority, insurance filings, safety status) for the motor carriers on your watchlist and notifies you by email when those records change. Every alert links to the federal record it is based on.
What AuthorityWatch is not
AuthorityWatch is an information service. It is not legal advice, insurance verification, a credit or background check, or a substitute for your own due diligence. Federal data sources can lag, contain errors, or change format; we surface what the record says, when we saw it — we do not guarantee completeness or timeliness. Always verify current status in FMCSA L&I before dispatch or contracting decisions.
Your account
You are responsible for the accuracy of the carrier numbers you upload and for keeping your login credentials safe. One account is for one brokerage or business entity.
Billing
Paid plans bill monthly by card until you cancel. You can cancel any time from your account; cancellation stops future charges at the end of the current billing period. If a renewal charge fails we retry and email you before pausing alerts.
Acceptable use
No reselling or republishing our alert stream, no scraping the service, no use that violates law or FMCSA data terms.
Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, AuthorityWatch's total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the fees you paid in the three months before the claim arose. We are not liable for decisions you make based on federal records we surface.
Changes
We may update these terms; material changes are announced by email to account holders before they take effect.
