Terms of Service

1. What Handyman Coop Is

Handyman Coop is a directory, referral, and discovery platform. We help customers locate independent professionals, businesses, and service providers in selected markets. Handyman Coop does not perform home services, does not send crews to your property, and does not enter into service contracts on behalf of customers or professionals.

Any service provider you may find through Handyman Coop is an independent business or individual and is not an employee, agent, joint venture partner, representative, or subcontractor of Handyman Coop.

2. No Employment or Supervision Relationship

Handyman Coop does not employ, train, manage, supervise, direct, or control the professionals listed, promoted, linked, or referenced on this website. We do not control how work is performed, what materials are used, whether a job is accepted, when a provider arrives, how a provider communicates, or how pricing is presented.

Each professional is solely responsible for their own business practices, staffing, licenses, permits, insurance, tools, scheduling, customer communication, estimates, invoices, safety standards, and work results.

3. No Guarantee or Warranty

Handyman Coop does not guarantee or warrant the quality, availability, responsiveness, professionalism, legality, licensing status, insurance status, pricing, timeline, safety, workmanship, suitability, background, credentials, or final outcome of any independent professional or third-party service provider.

Listings, profiles, descriptions, categories, service areas, and other content may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or incomplete information. A provider’s appearance on the platform does not mean that Handyman Coop recommends, certifies, endorses, guarantees, or insures that provider.

• No guarantee that a provider will respond.
• No guarantee that a provider is available when needed.
• No guarantee that quoted pricing will remain the same.
• No guarantee that a provider holds any specific license or insurance unless you verify it directly with that provider.
• No guarantee that the work will meet your expectations, code requirements, manufacturer requirements, or project deadlines.

4. Customer Responsibility

Customers are responsible for their own due diligence before hiring any independent professional found through Handyman Coop. That includes reviewing qualifications, confirming service scope, checking references, verifying licenses and insurance where applicable, reviewing pricing, and making an independent decision about whether to move forward.

You are also responsible for reading and understanding any estimate, proposal, work order, invoice, cancellation policy, warranty policy, or other agreement provided by the independent professional you choose to hire.

5. All Work and Agreements Are Between You and the Independent Pro

Any project, estimate, appointment, job, invoice, change order, payment request, refund request, warranty claim, complaint, dispute, delay, cancellation, property damage claim, bodily injury claim, or service disagreement is strictly between the customer and the independent professional or third-party provider involved.

Handyman Coop is not a party to those transactions or agreements. We are not responsible for negotiating, drafting, enforcing, or interpreting any agreement between a customer and a provider. We are also not responsible for collecting payment, holding funds, issuing refunds, resolving workmanship claims, or determining liability for completed or incomplete work unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing for a specific feature.

6. Payments, Pricing, Scheduling, and Disputes

Unless a specific transaction is clearly handled by a named third-party payment system, all pricing, deposits, invoices, balances, refunds, scheduling, rescheduling, cancellations, and disputes are handled directly between the customer and the independent professional.

Handyman Coop does not guarantee that any quoted price is accurate, competitive, final, or available. Handyman Coop does not guarantee that any appointment will be honored or completed on time. Any disagreement related to service scope, timing, project changes, missed appointments, pricing, property conditions, or customer expectations must be resolved directly with the independent professional.

7. Third-Party Platforms, Links, and External Services

This website may contain links to third-party websites, booking systems, payment processors, maps, review platforms, communication tools, profile pages, social media pages, or external directories. Those third-party tools and websites are provided for convenience only.

Handyman Coop does not own or control all third-party systems and is not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, security, policies, performance, transactions, or any resulting damages or losses. When you leave our website or interact with an external system, you do so at your own risk and subject to that third party’s terms and policies.

External links from this site may open in a new tab for convenience.

8. Platform Content and Information

Handyman Coop may display provider names, service categories, descriptions, photos, geographic references, feature highlights, articles, FAQs, and other informational content. That content is provided for general informational and directory purposes only. We do not promise that all content is current, complete, accurate, or suitable for your exact situation.

You should not rely solely on platform content when making hiring, safety, legal, financial, licensing, insurance, or property decisions. Always verify key details directly with the professional or with the appropriate official source.

9. Acceptable Use

By using this website, you agree not to misuse the platform, interfere with site operation, submit false or misleading information, impersonate another person or business, attempt unauthorized access, scrape data in a prohibited manner, send spam, or use the platform in a way that harms Handyman Coop, providers, customers, or the public.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, remove, or block content, profiles, inquiries, accounts, or access where we believe misuse, abuse, fraud, or legal risk may exist.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Handyman Coop and its owners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and technology providers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or other damages arising out of or related to your use of the website, your reliance on directory information, your contact with any professional, any work performed or not performed, any quote or invoice, any delay or cancellation, any property damage, any bodily injury, any data loss, any business interruption, or any dispute between a customer and an independent professional.

This limitation applies whether a claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory, even if Handyman Coop has been advised that such damages may be possible.

If, despite these terms, Handyman Coop is found liable for any claim, our total liability shall be limited to the smallest amount permitted by law and, in any event, shall not exceed the amount you paid directly to Handyman Coop for the specific use of the platform giving rise to the claim, if any.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Handyman Coop and its owners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:

• your use of the platform,
• your violation of these Terms of Service,
• your dealings with an independent professional or third party,
• your project, property, instructions, payment dispute, or service complaint,
• content or information you submit through the site, or
• your violation of any law or the rights of another person or business.

12. No Professional, Legal, or Safety Advice

Content on Handyman Coop is not legal advice, insurance advice, code compliance advice, engineering advice, construction advice, or professional project advice. General informational content, FAQs, and service descriptions should not be treated as a substitute for qualified professional evaluation.

For licensing, permits, safety requirements, code questions, structural decisions, or legal obligations, consult the appropriate qualified professional or authority.

13. Changes to the Website or Terms

Handyman Coop may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website, directory structure, search features, listings, categories, content, or these Terms of Service at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and interpreted under the applicable laws governing the business entity operating Handyman Coop, without regard to conflict of law rules. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force to the fullest extent permitted by law.
