Terms of Use

Effective date: March 3, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of San Carlos Verified Listings (“we,” “the Site”). By using the Site you agree to these Terms.

Permitted use

The Site is provided for informational purposes and personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use the Site to:

  • Reproduce, scrape, or redistribute directory content for commercial purposes
  • Harass, defame, or misrepresent any listed provider or individual

Informational service only

The directory, Contractor Reports, and all related content are informational resources designed to help homeowners conduct better due diligence. They do not replace your own judgment or independent research before hiring any service provider.

No professional advice

Nothing on this Site constitutes legal, tax, insurance, engineering, financial, or construction advice. Consult a licensed professional for advice in those areas.

No guarantee

Listings, references, and Contractor Reports reflect information available at the time of publication or last review. We make no guarantee of any provider’s current licensing status, insurance coverage, availability, pricing, workmanship quality, or legal compliance. Conditions change — always verify before you hire.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON ITS CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless San Carlos Verified Listings and its operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Site in violation of these Terms.

Original content on this Site — including text, provider summaries we author, design, and layout — is owned by San Carlos Verified Listings. Public record information remains in the public domain. You may not reproduce or redistribute our original content without written permission.

The Site may link to third-party websites, including public record databases and contractor websites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those external sites.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in San Mateo County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

Changes

We may update these Terms as the Site and services evolve. Continued use of the Site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

How We Verify

Providers are added based on local homeowner references. For licensed trades, I review license information and other public records when relevant, and each profile shows the published license details plus a last verified month. Listings are not paid placements.
