To improve the usefulness of the Platform, HomeImproverz may compile business information from publicly available sources, publicly accessible records, direct business submissions, publicly distributed marketing materials, licensed data providers, or other lawful sources.

Accordingly, certain listings may be created or supplemented without direct participation by the listed business.

If a business believes that any information is inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, unauthorized, or otherwise inappropriate, it may contact HomeImproverz and request a review, correction, update, or removal, subject to our policies and verification procedures.

HomeImproverz does not represent or warrant that imported or publicly sourced information is accurate, complete, or current.


12. Claimed Listings

Businesses may be permitted to claim ownership of their listing.

HomeImproverz reserves the right to require documentation sufficient to verify ownership or authorization before granting access to a claimed listing.

We may reject, delay, suspend, or revoke any claim if:

  • ownership cannot be verified;
  • conflicting ownership claims exist;
  • fraud is suspected;
  • inaccurate information has been provided; or
  • we determine, in our sole discretion, that granting access would be inappropriate.

Verification procedures are established solely by HomeImproverz and may be modified at any time.

39. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State designated by HomeImproverz in its legal notices, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer protection rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.


40. Dispute Resolution

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, the parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve any dispute by providing written notice describing the nature of the dispute and allowing a reasonable opportunity to respond.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be resolved as provided in these Terms, except where applicable law requires otherwise.


41. Arbitration

Where enforceable under applicable law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a recognized arbitration provider under its applicable consumer or commercial arbitration rules then in effect, unless the parties agree otherwise.

Each party shall have the opportunity to present evidence and arguments in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules.

The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, subject only to any rights of review or appeal available under applicable arbitration law.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking temporary injunctive relief or other provisional remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to protect intellectual property rights, confidential information, or other interests that cannot adequately be addressed through arbitration.

If binding arbitration is prohibited or unenforceable under applicable law, disputes shall be resolved in the courts identified in the Governing Law section.

You waive any right to:

  • participate in a class action;
  • serve as a class representative;
  • join collective proceedings;
  • participate in private attorney general actions where waivable; or
  • consolidate claims with those of other individuals.

If this waiver is found unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, only the unenforceable portion shall be severed, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.


43. Force Majeure

HomeImproverz shall not be liable for any delay, interruption, failure to perform, or inability to provide the Platform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • other events beyond our reasonable control.

44. Electronic Communications

By using the Platform, creating an account, or providing your contact information, you consent to receive electronic communications from HomeImproverz, including notices, disclosures, updates, transactional messages, and other communications related to your use of the Platform.

Where required by law, marketing communications will be sent only with the appropriate consent, and you may opt out of such communications using the methods provided in those messages.

Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, except where applicable law provides otherwise.


45. Privacy

Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.

By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy and consent to our data practices as described therein, subject to applicable law.

If any provision of the Privacy Policy conflicts with these Terms regarding contractual rights and obligations, these Terms shall govern to the extent of that conflict unless applicable law requires otherwise.

When material changes are made, we may update the “Effective Date” and, where required by applicable law, provide additional notice through the Platform or other reasonable means.

Your continued use of the Platform after updated Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue using the Platform.


48. Reservation of Rights

Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, HomeImproverz reserves all rights, title, and interests in and to the Platform and its intellectual property.

No license or right shall be implied by estoppel or otherwise.

Failure by HomeImproverz to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other rights.


49. Assignment

Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be void to the fullest extent permitted by law.
