The services offered by RML Heating and Air. (“Company”) are conditioned on your acceptance of the following terms, conditions and notices without modification (“Agreement”).  The document herein shall refer to you and any of your affiliates, agents, employees, representatives and/or subcontractors as “you” or “Consumer”.  We reserve the right to amend the Agreement at any time by posting a revised version of the Agreement on the Company’s website. 

  1. You represent that, if applicable, you are, as an individual, at least 18 years old and competent to enter into an agreement to use the services offered by the Company.

  2. After you insert your name, address telephone number and email address and the type of service you are seeking to have performed, the Company will attempt to match you with a service provider (“Contractor”) that performs services in and around your area (“Service Area”) who might wish to perform work that you need.  However, the Company does not guarantee that it will locate a Contractor who is able or disposed to provide services that match your needs.  While we do investigate Contractors’ qualifications, we do not make any representations or provide any guarantees for any Contractors’ skills, representations or quality of work that may be performed by any Contractor.

  3. While the Company’s goal is to assist you in locating a Contractor, the Company is not responsible for any of the services requested by you or the work performed on your behalf by any Contractor.  The Company does not recommend or sanction any particular Contractor, as the Company is not a party to your independent agreement with a Contractor.  The Contractors are not employees or agents of the Company and the Company is not an agent of the contractors.  All information about Contractors is confidential and for personal use only.

  4. Any agreement you enter into with a Contractor is governed solely by the terms of your agreement and by applicable federal, state or local law.  In the event that you have a dispute with a Contractor, that dispute must be addressed directly with the Contractor and you agree to release the Company and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents as well as any other person, firm or entity including the Company’s business partners, which may include our network of Contractors, from any damages or claims of every kind arising out of or related to your agreement and/or dealings with a Contractor.

  13. Contractors are permitted to establish a profile on the website.  The Company does not review or verify the information or representations in those profiles.  The Company has not performed a criminal background check or a legal search for civil judgment against the contractors and shall not be held liable for any claim stemming from your failure to confirm a contractor’s status as to a secretary of state’s requirements or whether a criminal or civil judgment has been entered against a contractor and/or its employees, subcontractors and/or agents.

  14. In the event the Company is unable to match you with a Contractor enrolled with our website, the Company reserves the right to convey your request for services and profile information to another website or provider’s network of contractors.  In that event you may be subject to the terms and conditions of that particular website/network.

  16. This Agreement shall transfer to the benefit of the Company’s successors, assigns and licensees. If any provision is determined to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, for any reason, by any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to make it enforceable, while maintaining its spirit.  If modification is impossible, the particular provision shall be stricken and but shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms.  The Company’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.  Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Company’s services or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.  This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely in the State of Illinois and between Illinois residents.
