Effective Date: {{date.publish}}

Welcome to {{business.name}}. By accessing this website, submitting a form, requesting a quote, or using any information provided through this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this website or submit your information.

1. Website Purpose

{{business.name}} is a marketing and lead-generation website that connects property owners and other prospective customers with an independent local junk removal contractor.

The website operator does not necessarily perform the junk removal or hauling services advertised on this website.

When you contact us or request a quote, your inquiry may be forwarded to one selected independent contractor serving your area.

2. Independent Local Contractor

The contractor receiving your inquiry is an independent business and is not an employee, agent, partner, joint venture, representative, or subsidiary of the website operator.

The contractor is solely responsible for:

• Contacting and following up with prospective customers
• Responding to calls, forms, messages, and quote requests
• Inspecting the property and evaluating the requested work
• Providing quotations, estimates, schedules, and service agreements
• Agreeing on pricing and payment terms with the customer
• Performing all junk removal, hauling, and disposal services
• Providing all labor, equipment, vehicles, trucks, materials, and supplies
• Hiring, supervising, paying, and managing its employees or subcontractors
• Following accepted industry practices and safe handling procedures

• Complying with all applicable environmental, waste disposal, recycling, transportation, safety, and workplace requirements
• Completing the work safely, lawfully, professionally, and to the standard agreed with the customer
• Handling complaints, warranties, refunds, rework, damage claims, and disputes arising from its services

Any service agreement is entered into directly between the customer and the independent contractor.

The website operator does not issue, maintain, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the contractor's licenses, permits, insurance, certifications, or legal compliance.

Customers should independently ask the contractor for evidence of current licenses, permits, insurance, or certifications before approving any work.

4. Quotes and Service Agreements

• Hazardous or restricted materials

The independent contractor is responsible for inspecting the property where necessary and providing the customer with final pricing and service terms.

No work should begin until the customer and contractor have agreed on the scope, price, timing, payment terms, and any applicable warranties.

5. No Guarantee of Contractor Availability

Submitting a form, calling the listed number, or requesting a quote does not guarantee that:
