Terms of Service

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Fort Worth Mold Inspection ("we," "us," or "our"), a Texas-based connection and marketing business. They cover your use of this website and the free connection service we offer through it.

By using this site, browsing our pages, or calling the number on it, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

You need to be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to request a connection. If you call about a property, you should be the owner or someone authorized to arrange work on it. If we learn a request came from a minor, we will delete it and we will not pass it on.

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and who we share it with. It is part of these Terms, and the sharing described in it is central to how the service works, so please read it before you call.

2. What This Service Is, and What It Is Not

We are an introduction service. That is the whole of what we do. You call, tell us what is going on at your property, and we connect you with independent mold companies that work in your area.

We are not a mold remediation contractor, a mold assessment company, or a general contractor. To be specific, we do not do any of the following:

The companies we connect you to are separate, independent businesses. They are not our employees, agents, partners, franchisees, or subcontractors, and we are not theirs. Nothing on this site should be read as us holding a company out as ours, or as us speaking on their behalf.

• Inspect, test, sample, or assess any property
• Write remediation scopes or clearance criteria
• Perform, manage, schedule, or supervise remediation, demolition, drying, plumbing, roofing, or rebuild work
• Employ, direct, or control any contractor or their crew
• Set, negotiate, approve, or collect any contractor's prices
• Handle insurance claims, or decide what an insurer will cover

3. How a Connection Works

When you call the number on this site, your call and the details you share are passed to independent mold companies serving your area. We pass a request to no more than 3 companies unless you ask us for more. Those companies deal with you directly. Everything after that introduction is between you and them.

The service is free to you. You never pay us anything for a connection, and you are never obligated to hire anyone we connect you to. We are paid by the companies that receive homeowner calls. That is how the site is funded, and we want you to know it up front. It does not change your right to get other quotes, to hire someone else entirely, or to hire nobody at all.

We cannot promise that a company will be available in your timeframe, that anyone will quote your job, or that a quote will be one you like. We may also decline or stop handling a request for any lawful reason, including requests outside our service area or requests that look fraudulent.

Section 4 explains what agreeing to be contacted means, and exactly how to make the contact stop.

4. Contact Consent, and How to Stop Being Contacted

When you call, you agree that we, and the independent companies your request is passed to, may contact you back about that request by phone and text message, using the number you called from or any number you give us. That is the point of the call. If you do not want to be contacted, please do not call.

Here is what to expect. Your request goes to no more than 3 independent companies serving your area, and each of them may call or text you about it. How often they do that is up to them and we do not control it, so message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Some companies use automated dialing or texting systems; where one does, its messages carry that company's own opt-out and help instructions. We do not send text messages ourselves.

You can stop this at any time, in any of these ways:

When you ask us to stop, we add your phone number to a do-not-contact list, we stop contacting you, we stop passing your request on, and we do not forward any new request from that number unless you ask us to. We will do that within 10 business days of your request, and normally much sooner.

We cannot claw your information back from a company that already has it. Those companies handle your details under their own privacy practices, which we do not control, so you may also need to tell them directly to stop.

• Tell a caller directly to stop and to put you on their do-not-call list
• Reply STOP to a text from any company whose system supports it — that reaches the company that sent it, not us
• Contact us using the contact details on this site and ask us to stop

5. No Contract for Mold Work Is Formed With Us

This is the most important term on this page. Using this site does not create a contract with us for any mold inspection, testing, assessment, remediation, or repair work. We do not offer to perform that work, and we could not accept such a job if you asked.

Any agreement for actual work is between you and the independent company you choose to hire. We are not a party to it. We do not sign it, we are not named in it, we take no benefit under it, and we take on none of its obligations. Read it yourself, and get advice on it if the job is large.

Because we are not a party to that agreement, we do not perform, supervise, direct, inspect, warrant, guarantee, insure, or accept responsibility for any company's work, workmanship, timeliness, conduct, licensing status, insurance status, pricing, billing, warranties, or the results they achieve. We also do not guarantee that any mold problem will be found, resolved, or kept from coming back.

If something goes wrong with a company you hire, your claim is against that company. We will not be responsible for it. We are happy to hear about a bad experience, and we do stop working with companies, but that is a business decision on our side, not a remedy we owe you.

6. Verifying a Contractor Is Your Responsibility

All contractors and providers reached through this site are independent businesses. We do not audit, monitor, or continuously verify any company, and we do not vouch for the quality, safety, or outcome of their work. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to verify that the hired contractor furnishes the necessary license and insurance required for the work being performed.

Please verify for yourself before money changes hands. It takes a few minutes and it is your best protection:

Nothing we say about a company is a recommendation that you hire them, an endorsement of their pricing, or a promise about how a job will go. The decision to hire, and the responsibility for checking who you are hiring, is yours.

• Ask whether the work requires any license, and verify whatever they tell you with the relevant state agency yourself
• Ask for a current certificate of insurance, issued directly by their insurer or agent
• Get the scope, exclusions, and price in writing before work starts
• Get more than one quote

7. Cost Information Is Not a Quote

Our cost pages describe typical local market price ranges charged by independent companies in Fort Worth and the wider DFW area. They reflect our review of publicly available pricing information for this area. They are not based on any survey of the companies in our network, and they are there only to help you recognize a reasonable number when you see one.

Those figures are not our prices, not a quote, not an offer, not a bid, and not a promise of what anyone will charge you. We do not set contractor pricing and we have no control over it. Prices move with the size of the affected area, the moisture source, access, materials, insurance, and what a contractor finds once a wall is open.

Only a written quote from the company you are hiring tells you what your job costs. Do not budget, sign, or make an insurance decision based on a range on this website.

8. Our Content Is General Information, Not Professional Advice

Everything on this site, including our guides, FAQs, cost pages, and anything we write about insurance coverage, health effects, or remediation practice, is general information for homeowners. It is not advice about your situation.

We are not attorneys, mold assessors or remediators, insurance adjusters, public adjusters, or medical professionals, and nothing here is legal, insurance, medical, environmental, engineering, or other professional advice. No relationship of that kind is created by reading this site or contacting us.

Laws, regulations, and market prices change, and we may not update every page immediately. Content may be incomplete or out of date. Before you act on anything here, confirm it with the right professional: a qualified mold assessment or remediation professional for the work itself, your insurer or an attorney for coverage and legal questions, and a doctor for anything involving your health.

Do not delay getting professional help, medical or otherwise, because of something you read on this site.

9. Using This Site Responsibly

You may use this site to learn about mold services and to request an introduction to a local company. Please use it honestly and lawfully. You agree not to:

We may suspend or block access to the site, and refuse to handle a request, if we believe these rules are being broken.

• Give false information, or someone else's contact details without their permission
• Call about a request you have no genuine interest in, or use the service to advertise, solicit, or spam
• Scrape, copy, harvest, or systematically download the site or our content
• Attempt to break, overload, probe, or gain unauthorized access to the site or the systems behind it
• Submit anything malicious, or use the site to break any law or to infringe anyone's rights
• Frame, mirror, or present the site as your own, or use it to imply we endorse you

10. Our Content, and What You Share

The site and its content, including the text, page structure, guides, cost research, photographs, illustrations, icons, logos, and design, are owned by us or licensed for our use, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Persons depicted in photos or videos on this site are actors or models, not contractors available through this site.

You may read the site, print pages, and share links for your own personal, non-commercial use. Beyond that, you may not copy, republish, resell, adapt, or use our content or branding without our written permission.

Company names, logos, and trademarks belonging to other businesses stay their property. We use them only to identify those businesses, and their appearance does not imply any partnership between us.

What you share with us stays yours. You give us permission to use, store, and disclose it only to operate the connection service — that means passing it to the independent companies matched to your request, and contacting you about it. We do not sell it, and we do not use it for anything else.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

This site links out to other websites, including government and industry pages we cite and our own social media profiles. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, privacy practices, or anything you do on them. A link is not an endorsement. When you leave this site, the other site's terms and privacy policy apply, not ours.

Where we show a video, it is click-to-play: no video player loads and no video-host cookie is set until you click play, though the still image used as the preview may be served by the video host.

Calls to the number on this site are carried and routed by third-party telephone providers, which handle call data under their own terms and policies. Our Privacy Policy explains this in more detail. Our fonts are served from this site itself, so no font provider sees your visit.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND THE CONNECTION SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

In plain terms: we do not promise that the site will always be available or error-free, that its information is complete, current, or accurate, that you will be connected with a company, that a company will contact you or accept your job, or that any work performed by a company will be satisfactory, properly licensed, properly insured, safe, timely, or effective.

Some states do not allow certain warranties to be excluded. If that applies to you, the exclusions above apply only as far as the law allows.

13. Limitation of Liability and Indemnity

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS WHAT WE CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR. To the fullest extent Texas law allows, and whether a claim is brought in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other theory, we are not liable for losses arising out of your use of this site or out of any introduction we make. In particular, we are not liable for:

We are also not liable for property damage, remediation or repair costs, insurance losses, or bodily injury caused by an independent company you hire, because we do not perform, direct, or supervise their work. In that situation your claim is against that company.

Our total liability for any claim relating to this site or the connection service will not exceed US $100. You pay us nothing, and this cap reflects that.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by our own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. If that applies to you, the limits above apply only as far as the law allows.

You agree to cover us for claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs that arise from your misuse of the site, your breach of these Terms, or information you share that is false or that you had no right to share. This does not apply to anything caused by our own negligence or misconduct. If we ask you to cover a claim, we will tell you about it promptly, and we will not settle it without your agreement.

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages
• Lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or diminished property value
• Any dispute between you and a company you were connected to

14. Changes to These Terms and to the Site

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example if we change how the service works or if the law changes. When we do, we will post the revised version here and update the "Last updated" date at the top.

The version of these Terms posted when you call is the version that governs that request. Later changes apply only to your use of the site after they are posted. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated Terms.

We may also change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site or the connection service at any time, without notice. We may stop handling your request or decline to serve you, and you can stop using the site whenever you like. Sections that by their nature should survive, including the disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, intellectual property, and governing law, continue to apply after you stop using the site.

15. Governing Law, General Terms, and How to Reach Us

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute between you and us relating to this site or the connection service will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and we each agree those courts have jurisdiction.

A few standard points. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force and that part is applied as closely as possible to its original intent. Our not enforcing a term right away does not waive it. We may transfer these Terms, and the rights and obligations in them, to another business if our site or service changes hands; you may not transfer yours. You agree that we and the companies matched to your request may communicate with you electronically, and that electronic records satisfy any requirement that something be in writing. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the site and the connection service.

Questions about these Terms, a request to stop being contacted (see section 4), or a concern about a company we connected you to? Contact us using the email address and phone number listed on this site, and we will get back to you.

A reminder we put on every page: Fort Worth Mold Inspection is a free service to assist homeowners in connecting with local service providers. All contractors/providers are independent and Fort Worth Mold Inspection does not warrant or guarantee any work performed. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to verify that the hired contractor furnishes the necessary license and insurance required for the work being performed. All persons depicted in a photo or video are actors or models and not contractors listed on Fort Worth Mold Inspection.
