Upon registration, you may choose your own password or HomeAdvisor will assign you a password to access the Services through the HomeAdvisor website or apps.
THE STANDARD SERVICES (FIXED PRICE SERVICES ARE SET FORTH IN SECTION 12)
At HomeAdvisor we are committed to making your total HomeAdvisor experience a positive one. There are several ways you can find service professionals through HomeAdvisor (collectively, "Service Professionals"). Profinder is our service where you request a referral for a specific task, and we refer you to up to four Service Professionals. Also you may select or search for individual Service Professionals from our Live Directory (a.k.a. Pro Reviews), a directory of Service Professional members along with their ratings and reviews.

ProFinder. Upon entering your information and the request for which you would like a Service Professional, we will attempt to match you with up to four Service Professionals in your area, who may be interested in fulfilling your service need. However, we do not guarantee that we will be able to match your service needs with a Service Professional or that there are Service Professionals in your area that are either capable or willing to complete your service needs.
LiveDirectory (a.k.a. ProReviews). You can view a directory of Service Professionals in your selected zip code who provide services in the project categories that you select. These listings include ratings and reviews of those Service Professionals from their customers, when available.
Instant Connect. With Instant Connect, you can request that HomeAdvisor connect you with a Service Professional by phone immediately. If you request, HomeAdvisor will search for a Service Professional and connect you with them by phone.
Instant Booking. You can choose to schedule appointments with certain of our Service Professionals right on the HomeAdvisor website. Please be aware that HomeAdvisor does not guarantee that the Service Professionals will be on time for, or show up for, any such booked appointments, as the Service Professionals are not the employees, contractors or agents of HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor is solely providing the platform to facilitate scheduling of appointments between you and the Service Professionals.
No Guarantees or Endorsements. Although we take certain steps to examine the credentials of the Service Professionals listed on our website or whom you may book using our Services, we make no guarantees, warranties or representations regarding the skills or undertakings of such Service Professional or the quality of the job that he or she may perform for you if you elect to retain their services. HomeAdvisor does not endorse or recommend the services of any particular Service Professional. Except as set forth below in Paragraph 11 and Paragraph 12, we do not independently verify their representations about their services, nor validate any reviews. It is entirely up to you to evaluate the Service Professional and the Service Professional's qualifications, and to enter into a direct contract or otherwise reach agreement with a Service Professional. We do not guarantee or warrant any Service Professional's performance on the job or the outcome or quality of the services performed. The Service Professionals are not employees or agents of HomeAdvisor, nor is HomeAdvisor an agent of the Service Professionals.
No Contracting via the HomeAdvisor Website. HomeAdvisor may inform you of certain offers or discounts provided by a Service Professional. Such offers or discounts are made solely by the Service Professional, and HomeAdvisor does not guarantee or warrant the pricing or discounts that a Service Professional may offer you. Any quotes provided by Service Professionals via the HomeAdvisor or apps, or which you find on the HomeAdvisor or apps, are not contractually binding offers, are for informational purposes only, and cannot be accepted on or via HomeAdvisor. No contractual arrangement is created based upon the quotes provided to you from Service Professionals (or your scheduling of an appointment with a Service Professional) via HomeAdvisor. To contract with a Service Professional, you must work directly with the Service Professional. HomeAdvisor does not perform, and is not responsible for, any of the Services requested by you in your service request. Your rights under contracts you enter into with Service Professionals are governed by the terms of such contracts and by applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws. HomeAdvisor is not a party to such agreements. All payments and applicable taxes must be made to the Service Professional in accordance with the agreements.
Release from Damages or Claims. Should you have a dispute with respect to any services provided by a Service Professional or the fees charged by any Service Professional, you must address such dispute with the Service Professional directly (although you may copy HomeAdvisor on the fee disputes). YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE HomeAdvisor (AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS) FROM ANY DAMAGES OR CLAIMS (INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES) OF EVERY KIND OR NATURE, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, AND DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES AND YOUR DEALINGS WITH SERVICE PROFESSIONALS.

Should you have any dispute with the goods or services provided by the Service Professional(s) you select, as set forth in in Section 2, #7, you must contact the Service Professional and resolve such dispute with the Service Professional. However, if the dispute is regarding the amount of money that you paid for the services by the Service Professional (including that you were not charged the amount you agreed to in your agreement with the Service Professional) please advise us immediately. If we have not heard from you with documented proof of any issues provided within ten (10) days after the payment has been made for the Service Professional services, the purchase of the services is final and you will not be entitled to a refund, except as may expressly be limited by Federal, state or local law.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION ASSISTANCE
While we cannot guarantee the work performed by a listed Service Professional, and while we have no obligation to you with regard to your relationship with a Service Professional, the HomeAdvisor resolution process has been developed to try and assist you in resolving any disputes that may arise in the course of a home improvement repair or maintenance project with a Service Professional who you learned about through the HomeAdvisor Services. Without modifying our statements under this Agreement, we may, upon your request, provide limited assistance in resolving disputes between you and a Service Professional. You must participate and use good faith efforts to resolve problems through the HomeAdvisor resolution process. Such limited assistance in no way nullifies the release and indemnification described in these Terms & Conditions. You agree not to refuse to pay a Service Professional without a good faith basis for doing so. You agree that HomeAdvisor is not responsible for the accessibility or unavailability of any Service Professional or for your interactions and dealings with a Service Professional.

SERVICE PROFESSIONAL PRE SCREENING PROCEDURES AND DISCLAIMERS (DOES NOT APPLY TO FIXED PRICE SERVICES. PLEASE SEE SECTION 12 FOR SCREENING FOR FIXED PRICE SERVICES)
Unless otherwise noted on the screening tab of a Service Professional's profile page, HomeAdvisor.com uses the following criteria as part of its registration enrollment process ("registration") for new Service Professional businesses, with the exception of Corporate Accounts (as described below) and service professionals providing services in Canada (neither of which are screened) applying for membership in our network. We perform the below screening at the time of the Service Professional business' enrollment, and every two years thereafter:

Licensing - We confirm that a prospective new SP business has any applicable required state-level trade licensing for the services for which we match them to consumers. Certain states may require state-level licensing for projects above specified dollar amounts. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements with the business and the applicable state and local licensing authorities. In some states, licensing may be required by the county or local authority in which the work is being performed. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements before proceeding with your project. Larger projects often require the use of sub-contractors for specific types of work (for example, a kitchen remodel may require an electrician or plumber). We recommend you verify that all the sub-contractors doing work on your project carry the appropriate licensing. Given the unique nature of California licensing, HomeAdvisor relies on representations of service professionals that are using a California General building contracting license to cover home improvement tasks that such service professionals are performing more than one task as defined and required by California licensing rules. We always recommend that you ask the business to provide you with a copy of their license.
State Business Filings - For service professionals that are corporations or limited liability companies, we confirm that the business is registered in the state in which it is located.
Criminal Records Search - We use third party data sources to conduct a criminal search, in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located, for any relevant criminal convictions associated with the owner/principal of the business, within the three years prior to such service professional's application for membership in the HomeAdvisor network and every two years thereafter. HomeAdvisor's third-party vendor uses a national criminal database ("NCD") to screen our service professionals. The comprehensiveness of the NCD varies by state. Please be aware that the reporting in the NCD is particularly limited in the following states: AL, CO, DE, GA, ID, KS, LA, ME, MA, MI, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, SD, UT, VA, VT, and WY.
Sex Offender Search - We check the websites that consolidate state sex offender information in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located to confirm that there is not a match based solely on the name of the owner/principal of the company. We do not run sex offender searches in any other states. Please note that only a fingerprint match can guarantee an accurate match for a sex offender search. We recommend that you check the applicable state sex offender websites for any individuals that will be performing work in your home.
Identity Verification (Social Security Number) - HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number of the business owner/principal to confirm their identity. (This applies primarily to small businesses.)
Legal Search for Civil Judgments - We use third party data sources to check, within the 12 months prior to the service professional's application for membership in the HomeAdvisor network, for significant state-level civil legal judgments or liens entered against the owner/principal by business customers and for bankruptcy filings by or against the owner/principal, in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.

WE PERFORM THE ABOVE SCREENING BASED UPON INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY THE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL (E.G. NAME OF OWNER, BIRTHDATE, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER)

NOTE: HOMEADVISOR PERFORMS SCREENING SOLELY AT THE TIME THE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL APPLIES FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE HOMEADVISOR NETWORK, AND EVERY TWO YEARS THEREAFTER, AND THEREFORE A SERVICE PROFESSIONAL'S INFORMATION MAY CHANGE OR EXPIRE OVER TIME, AND BETWEEN SCREENINGS. THUS, HOMEADVISOR CANNOT AND DOES NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT PROFILE AND SCREENING INFORMATION IS UP TO DATE. HOMEADVISOR IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE A SERVICE PROFESSIONAL'S SCREENING INFORMATION. WE RECOMMEND THAT BEFORE WORKING WITH A SERVICE PROFESSIONAL YOU VERIFY THAT INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL'S PROFILE IS STILL ACCURATE, CURRENT AND ACCEPTABLE TO YOU.

Corporate Accounts: Some Service Professionals are employees, franchisees, dealers, or independent contractors ("Corporate SP's") of larger national or corporate accounts ("Corporate Accounts"). In such event, you may be matched with the Corporate Account entity or with one of their Corporate SP's. The above screening criteria is not applicable to Corporate Accounts, and therefore, HomeAdvisor does not screen the Corporate Accounts or Corporate SP's.

Service Professionals Profiles: HomeAdvisor allows Service Professionals to post profiles about themselves and their business on the HomeAdvisor or apps. HomeAdvisor does not review or verify the information or representations set forth in those profiles, except as expressly set forth above, as they are self-reported by the Service Professional. HomeAdvisor therefore makes no representations or warranties regarding any information posted by a Service Professional, and assumes no liability for such information.

The above procedures may change from time to time at the sole discretion of HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor believes that it uses commercially reasonable methods to check these matters but does not make any representations or warranties that members continue to meet the above screening criteria after the date of their enrollment in the HomeAdvisor network. When it comes to screening, every system has its flaws. That is because no background system in the U.S. is one hundred percent accurate. HomeAdvisor does not represent or warrant that the information received from state, provincial or other government agencies or from third party sources is accurate, error free, or that it is up to date or updated at the time that HomeAdvisor checks such information. Most agencies have periodic update cycles or schedules and this information is not updated on a real-time basis by such agencies and third party sources.

DISCLAIMER: HOMEADVISOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED RELATING TO THE SCREENING PROCESS, CRITERIA, PROCEDURES, OR INFORMATION OBTAINED OR PRESENTED IN THE SCREENING PROCESS OR DISCLOSURES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, OR THAT THE SCREENING OR VERIFICATION PROCEDURES OR STANDARDS ARE SUFFICIENT OR THAT THE INFORMATION RECEIVED IN THESE SCREENING OR VERIFICATION PROCEDURES IS ACCURATE, TIMELY OR ERROR FREE.

AFFILIATE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL PRE-SCREENING. While we will not match you with a service professional from our affiliates, we may display to you service professionals from our affiliates, including but not limited to Angie's List. These service professionals have NOT been screened by HomeAdvisor using the screening set forth in Section 10. Rather, these service professionals have been screened as follows:

HomeAdvisor will only display Angie's List Service professionals that

Have an Overall "A" or "B: rating from member reviews;
Have passed all background checks established by Angie's List (as described below);
Attest that they possess all applicable state and local licensing, registration, or other trade requirements to provide service for the Project or the project described in the Lead; and
Are in good business standing with Angie's List
Angie's List has criminal background checks performed annually on the principal/owner or relevant manager of all "A"- and "B"-rated companies that are Certified Service Providers, that offer ecommerce offers, that receive leads through the Projects Submissions platform, or that are granted the Super Service Award. The background check currently is performed by American Business Services ("ABS"), a third-party screening company. Upon processing the background check, ABS will provide Angie's List with a simple "pass" or "fail" designation. A failed background check is one that finds one or more of the following: (1) any violent or theft conviction at a felony level in the last 7 years; (2) any sexual felony conviction or on a sexual offender registry at any time (no time limit); or (3) any pending felony charges involving any of types (1) or (2).
ABS will provide Angie's List with only a pass or fail designation. Angie's List and its members will never see any content from background check results. Since we can only perform these background checks annually, we ask anyone with knowledge of legal, ethical or financial concerns regarding a company contact us by either logging in and selecting Send A Message using our contact form. Angie's List will investigate any information we receive regarding a company's background.
While we always strive to provide the most current information, we also recommend that you perform your own research on the companies you hire.

FIXED PRICE SERVICES

HomeAdvisor (through its affiliate, Handy Technologies, Inc.), provides certain services labeled "Fixed Price Services." Through Fixed-Price Services, you will pay for your home service upfront and book the time and date of your service through our secure online portal. HOMEADVISOR, THROUGH THE HOMEADVISOR PLATFORM, OFFERS INFORMATION AND A METHOD TO OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND/OR MERCHANDISE, BUT DOES NOT AND DOES NOT INTEND TO PROVIDE SUCH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES OR MERCHANDISE ITSELF OR ACT IN ANY WAY AS A RETAILER OR MANUFACTURER, OR AS A CLEANING, HANDYMAN, OR OTHER HOME-RELATED OR MOVING-RELATED SERVICE PROVIDER, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND/OR MERCHANDISE PROVIDED TO THE REQUESTER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE SERVICES, WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE. HOMEADVISOR IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH, ENDORSED OR SPONSORED BY ANY THIRD PARTY MERCHANDISE PROVIDER OR RETAILER.
SCREENING FOR FIXED PRICED SERVICES (NOTE: SCREENING FOR STANDARD SERVICES CAN BE FOUND IN SECTION 10).
For Fixed Price Services, except as noted below, we use a multi-step process to screen potential cleaning and handyman service professionals. The process is designed to filter qualified potential cleaning and handyman service professionals with appropriate backgrounds in compliance with applicable law. The potential cleaning and handyman service professional must provide detailed personal information. These service professionals must provide their full name, address, date of birth, social security number, and a valid form of identification and validate their applicable home services experience. We verify these potential service professional's identities. For Fixed Price Services, we utilize Jumio, an identification verification company, to match the photographs and confirm the integrity of the identification documents. These service professionals then submit to a background check. For Fixed Price Services, we currently use a third-party background check provider, Checkr, Inc., to conduct the background checks ("Background Check Process"). Some service professionals are employees, franchisees, dealers, or independent contractors of larger national or corporate companies. For these professionals only the Background Check Process of the above screening process is performed.
Checkr's Background Check Process
Checkr, a third-party background check provider accredited by the National Association of Professional Background Screeners, conducts a record search which looks back at least seven years or longer in other jurisdictions when permitted by applicable law and available records. Checkr specifically conducts the following checks and searches:
IDENTITY VERIFICATION Social Security Number (SSN) verification is the most efficient way to verify these potential service professional's identities. If an identity cannot be verified, the Checkr system alerts these potential service professionals to request additional documentation.
ADDRESS HISTORY Checkr's Identity Check includes a trace of all known domestic addresses over the past seven years. Based on this information, Checkr searches relevant court jurisdictions for the same time period.
Criminal Records Check
COUNTY CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK Checkr performs direct searches of county court records. Results include felony and misdemeanor criminal cases as well as, charges, disposition, dates and sentencing information.
NATIONAL CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK This check scours over 30 million records and is run concurrent with the county criminal records check.
GLOBAL WATCHLIST CHECK This check searches known domestic and international terrorist watchlists as well as the records of the Office of Inspector General (OIG), Excluded Parties List (EPL) and additional domestic and international agency lists.
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY CHECK Checkr searches registries for every state. In certain states, the information publicly available does not include all registered sex offenders and may not include all out-of-state sex offenders, depending on variations in state law.
Review & Activation
For Fixed Price Services, we review the background checks in compliance with applicable law before determining whether such applicant should be activated to use the platform.
Fixed Price Services Recommendations Explanation. All recommended Fixed Price Professionals have received a "star" rating of at least four stars. These Fixed Price Professionals are recommended by other consumers, not by HomeAdvisor, and the number of reviews represents the number of reviews for all Fixed Price Services rather than for a particular category of Fixed Price Services or a particular Fixed Price Professional.
Fixed Price Payments

Payments. Users of the HomeAdvisor Platform for Fixed Price Services purchased and paid for on the HomeAdvisor website, contract for Professional Services directly with other Users. HomeAdvisor is not a party to any contracts for Professional Services. The HomeAdvisor Platform facilitates these contracts by supplying a medium through which individuals seeking to obtain services ("Requesters") can connect with independently-established home service providers customarily engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business of providing the services requested ("Professionals"), schedule certain services requested by the Requesters, which are to be completed by the Professionals, are hereinafter referred to as "Professional Services", and make payments for Professional Services ("Payments"). Requesters are obligated to pay in advance for the Professional Services they order through the HomeAdvisor Platform. Prior to the scheduled Professional Service, we will charge the Requester's credit card according to the amount the Requester and Service Provider have agreed to on the HomeAdvisor Platform with respect to all Professional Services, the Requester has ordered, and for all purchases and payments for reimbursement costs, fees, expenses, and applicable taxes associated with a Professional Service as well as the Trust and Support Fee (as defined in Section 12.e. below), and the Requester hereby authorizes us to charge the credit card on file in the Requester's HomeAdvisor Platform account for such amounts. We will use third party services to process credit card information. By accepting this Agreement, you are giving HomeAdvisor (or a third-party payment processor on HomeAdvisor's behalf) permission to charge your on-file credit card, debit card, or other approved methods of payment for fees that you owe HomeAdvisor. Depending on the transaction you selected or services requested, HomeAdvisor may charge you on a one-time or recurring basis. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Professional Services must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with HomeAdvisor at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. We retain the right, in our sole discretion, to place a hold on the Requester's credit card for an ordered or completed Professional Service transaction. Seventy-two (72) hours after a Professional Service is completed, if there is no complaint by the Requester, we will mark the Professional Service as closed. If the Requester has agreed with the Professional to extend or reduce the hours in or to reschedule a requested Professional Service, the Requester bears the responsibility for notifying HomeAdvisor. Requesters must notify HomeAdvisor by changing the date or hours of the requested Professional Service through the HomeAdvisor Platform. All Payments by Requesters must be made through the HomeAdvisor Platform. Any Payments paid or Professional Services scheduled outside of the HomeAdvisor Platform are not subject to our HomeAdvisor Happiness Guarantee in Section 12.d. below. Except for the HomeAdvisor Happiness Guarantee in Section 12.d., no refunds or credits will be provided once the Requester's credit card has been charged, except that at our sole discretion, refunds or credits may be granted in extenuating circumstances. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all credit card and all other personal information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any damage that may result should any information be released to any third parties, and you agree to hold us harmless for any damages that may result therefrom. Requesters will be liable for all transaction taxes on the Professional Service(s) provided (other than taxes based on HomeAdvisor's income). If we determine that your actions or performance may result in returns, chargebacks, claims, disputes, violations of our terms or policies, or other risks to HomeAdvisor or third parties, then HomeAdvisor may withhold any payments to you for as long as we determine any related risks to HomeAdvisor or third parties persist. For any amounts that we determine you owe us, we may (a) offset any amounts that are payable by you to us (in reimbursement or otherwise) against any payments we may make to you or amounts we may owe you; (b) invoice you for amounts due to us, in which case you will pay the invoiced amounts upon receipt; (c) reverse any credits to your bank account; or (d) collect payment or reimbursement from you by any other lawful means. If we determine that your account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or to repeatedly violate this Agreement, then we may in our sole discretion permanently withhold any payments to you.
Job Rate. The rate per hour for a Professional Service ("Job Rate") depends on factors, such as location and how frequently a Recurrent Service is ordered, and payment terms may increase. Therefore, the same Professional Service may cost more in a different location or if the Professional Service is ordered less frequently. However, you will be notified prior to any such payment increase with sufficient notice to enable you to cancel the Recurrent Service as set forth herein.
Recurrent Service with Automatic Renewal and Recurring Charges.

Recurring Service: When requesting a Professional Service, Requesters may have the option of choosing that the Professional Service be repeated on a regular basis ("Recurrent Service"). For example, a Requester may choose that a cleaning be performed every two weeks. When a Requester chooses a Recurrent Service, the HomeAdvisor platform will automatically schedule that Recurrent Service to occur on future dates indefinitely at the frequency requested by Requester. HomeAdvisor cannot guarantee that the same Professional will be available for each Recurrent Service appointment or that Recurrent Service appointments will not be canceled.
BILLING, RECURRING CHARGES AND AUTOMATIC RENEWAL: When a Requester signs up for a Recurrent Service, Requester will be charged immediately for the initial booking. THEREAFTER, REQUESTER'S AGREEMENT TO PAY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND REQUESTER'S CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED THE SAME NON-PROMOTIONAL AMOUNT, AS ORIGINALLY DISCLOSED TO REQUESTER AT THE TIME OF SIGNING UP FOR THE RECURRENT SERVICE, IN ADVANCE OF EACH AUTOMATICALLY SCHEDULED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE APPOINTMENT, AS WELL AS FOR ANY APPLICABLE CANCELLATION FEES AND TAXES.
CANCELLATION OF AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING RECURRENT SERVICE: Requesters may cancel the automatically renewing Recurrent Service at any time AT ANY TIME by visiting the HomeAdvisor Help Center https://www.homeadvisor.com/contact/ or by mailing a notice of cancellation to HomeAdvisor, Inc. Attn.: Legal, PO Box #1122, New York, NY 10159. REQUESTERS MUST CANCEL MORE THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS PRIOR TO THEIR NEXT PROFESSIONAL SERVICE IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING CHARGED CANCELLATION FEES AND/OR FOR THEIR NEXT PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PURSUANT TO HOMEADVISOR'S CANCELLATION POLICY AS SET FORTH BELOW.
