BY PROCEEDING TO USE THE FREE INTERNET ACCESS PROVIDED BY AUSTIN’S BEST CONTRACTORS NETWORK LLC (“ABCN”), YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE ABCN'S INTERNET ACCESS SERVICES.

After you submit your requests, you are in NO OBLIGATION to use any of the contractors or service providers (ABCN Members and non-ABCN Members) who respond to your requests. By making your submission, or contacting ABCN, you agree to allow ABCN to distribute your requests to its member contractors or service providers.

ABCN is not and will not act as your general contractor, agent, or service advisor, but rather acts as service provider in your search for a contractor or service professional. Therefore, when you hire a Member of ABCN (or a contractor that ABCN found for you to help you in your search for a service provider), you are hiring that contractor or service provider directly and will enter into a contract agreement with that contractor or service provider, directly. 

Contractors or service providers (Members or non-Members) are not employees, partners or agents of ABCN, nor is ABCN an agent for its contractors or service providers. Customers seeking contractors or service providers’ services, such as yourself, enter into a direct contract or agreement with that contractor, service provider, third party, or service professional.  

Contractors or service providers may not be willing or are capable of completing your service requests, and, therefore, ABCN does not warrant or guarantee that a contractor(s) or service provider(s) will perform the services requested, is suitable, capable or is willing to perform the services requested.

ABCN is not liable or responsible for services you’ve requested or services provided by contractors or service providers. Contractors or service providers may offer you advice; ABCN is not liable or responsible for such advice.

ABCN examines the credentials of its contractors or service providers, however, ABCN does not and will not make guarantees nor represent that the service professionals you choose to hire will meet your service needs, nor guarantee the fitness, quality and completeness of the services they will perform. Contractors’ or service providers’ record may have changed since their acceptance into ABCN and signing an Agreement with ABCN. Additionally, ABCN’s web site may not have been updated, and therefore, ABCN does not warrant or guarantee the qualifications, legal standing, licensing status, adequacy of licensing coverage, certification status, insurance coverage, the amount, type, or adequacy of insurance coverage, or background of its contractors or service providers at the time a customer enters into an agreement or contract with the contractors or service providers.

Although ABCN provides basic information about the contractors and service professionals in its web site, ABCN does not assume liability and disclaims any liability that may result from the use of the information provided, therefore, it is still the customer or homeowner’s responsibility to verify (by consulting with a lawyer or expert advisor, if you should choose) the contractor’s or service professional’s insurance coverage, contracts, licensing information, and other documents you deem necessary for the services you require. As with any contract or agreement you enter into, we suggest that you consult with your lawyer or expert advisor for their expert advice.

Any agreement you enter into for the services you require is only between you and the contractor or service provider (third party or service professional). ABCN, its owners, officers, directors, investors, employees, agents, and business partners do not take part of nor are a part of any agreement or contract you enter into with the contractor or service provider, and are therefore released from claims, costs and attorneys’ fees, demands or damages (actual or consequential and incidental damages) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such damages, claims, disputes between you and the contractor or service professional.

If you have a dispute with the contractor or service provider, ABCN, its owners, officers, directors, investors, employees, agents, and business partners, are released from claims, costs and attorneys’ fees, demands or damages (actual or consequential and incidental damages) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such damages, claims, disputes between you and the contractor or service professional.
Customers who have a dispute with contractor or service provider will address all disputes with the contractors or service providers directly. ABCN is not responsible for handling such disputes.

If ABCN does not have a service provider for the trade you are seeking, ABCN may provide you with information on who else to contact (non-ABCN Member).  ABCN does not make recommendations regarding non-ABCN Members, but rather in the quest to help you find an "A" rated contractor, ABCN may provide you with possible service provider(s) you may contact and is for your information only.

ABCN does not make any recommendations regarding any service provider, because their outstanding credentials speaks for themselves.  Therefore, by contacting ABCN or by hiring a service provider, you acknowledge the service providers credentials and have chosen that service provider based on that company's credentials.

ABCN’s web site lists vendors and contractor or service provider’s products or services offered, however, such services and products are not endorsed by ABCN, unless ABCN specifically states that it endorses the service or product.
