Legal

Ah yes, the legal page. We know you can’t wait to read this scintillating bit of prose, but hey, if you’re into that kinda thing, go for it! It’s the place for cautionary stuff like:

  • Please don’t follow our advice. If you choose to do so, it is at your own risk.
  • Information on HomeFixated is highly likely to contain errors or inaccuracies.
  • Home improvement can be dangerous, even downright life-threatening. If you’re not a pro, consult one before taking on any project.
  • Some products we actually review based on our direct experience (these will typically have the word “review” in the title). Clever, huh?
  • Many but not all “Buy Now” or similar links are affiliate links in which we might earn commissions ranging from several cents to multiple dollars! However, sadly, not enough to feed our children.
  • Email, comments or posts sent to HomeFixated are considered our property and all correspondence is considered available for publication. We may also stroke and edit your correspondence lovingly while reciting “my precious” over and over again.

Our team of legal eagles said that the section above was barely worth the paper it’s printed on. Since it’s not technically printed on any paper, we figured they meant it in a bad way. So rather than rely on that iffy text above, you’ll find all our actual legal and terms of service info below. The lawyers say it’s super-important, so make sure you read every last word of it before venturing into the wilds of HomeFixated.com!

  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Counter-notifications must be submitted from the email address associated with the user account, where applicable, to allow for verification. Send counter-notifications to the same Copyright Agent address listed above, with the subject line “DMCA Counter-Notice.”

15. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

15(a). Agreement to Arbitrate

You and the Company mutually agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Website, or Your use of the Website, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (collectively, “Disputes”), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.

15(b). Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, for claims under $250,000, its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified by this Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving internet and commercial contract disputes. The arbitration shall take place in San Diego County, California, or, at Your election, may be conducted by telephone, videoconference, or based on written submissions. The arbitrator shall apply California substantive law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1 through 16). Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15(c). Class Action Waiver

YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU AND THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF A COURT OR ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THEN THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE DEEMED VOID AND UNENFORCEABLE AS TO THAT PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF ONLY, AND THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SUCH CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF SHALL PROCEED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

15(d). Jury Trial Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE.

15(e). Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights, trade secrets, or confidential information.

15(f). Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending a written notice to the Company at the address listed in Section 9, within thirty (30) days of Your first use of the Website. The notice must include Your name, address, email address, and a clear statement that You wish to opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of these Terms. If You opt out, the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue to apply to You.

16. Statute of Limitations

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE OR THESE TERMS MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY LONGER STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS THAT MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. To the extent that litigation is permitted under these Terms (including for matters excepted from arbitration), You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California. The Website shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over the Company, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California.

18. Force Majeure

The Company shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond the Company’s reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, fire, flood, earthquake, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, labor disputes, governmental actions, or any other force majeure event.

19. Information Provided and Assumption of Risk

The Website may include information, opinions, advice, recommendations, and other content related to home improvement, tools, construction, repairs, and related subjects. All such information is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. You acknowledge that: (a) any reliance upon any information displayed on or distributed through the Website is at Your sole risk; (b) the Company is not a licensed contractor, architect, engineer, or other professional, and the Website does not provide professional advice; (c) home improvement activities involve inherent risks of personal injury, property damage, and other hazards; and (d) You should always consult with qualified, licensed professionals before undertaking any home improvement project, especially those involving electrical, plumbing, structural, or other specialized work.

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without notice, to correct any errors or omissions in any portion of the Website. The Company shall not have any liability arising from Your acts, omissions, or decisions based upon the information provided on the Website.

20. Objectionable Material

You understand that by using the Website, You may encounter content that You find offensive, indecent, objectionable, or otherwise unsuitable for You. The Website may include content or descriptions that contain explicit language, graphic imagery, or mature themes. You agree to use the Website at Your sole risk, and the Company shall have no liability to You for any content that You find offensive, indecent, or objectionable.

21. Termination

The Company may terminate or suspend Your access to the Website, in whole or in part, immediately and without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if You breach any provision of these Terms. Upon termination: (a) all rights and licenses granted to You under these Terms shall immediately cease; (b) You must immediately discontinue all use of the Website; and (c) all provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including Sections 5, 10(b), 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and this Section 21.

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing to use the Website. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve You of any obligations that accrued prior to such termination, including any indemnification obligations.

22. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these Terms. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the parties. If such modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

23. Waiver

No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law or equity.

24. Assignment

You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. The Company may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

25. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies, rules, or provisions that are referenced herein and incorporated by this reference, constitute the entire agreement between You and the Company regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, understandings, agreements, and representations, whether written or oral, regarding the same.
