Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before using smartnest-life.com (the "Site"), operated by SmartNest ("SmartNest," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Use of the Site
SmartNest provides free, publicly accessible home improvement cost calculators and related educational content. You may use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to misuse the Site, including by attempting to interfere with its normal operation, scraping content at scale without permission, or using it in any way that violates applicable law.
Estimates Are Not Quotes — No Warranty
The cost estimates, ranges, and figures provided by SmartNest's calculators and articles are general informational estimates only, based on national average cost data compiled from public sources. They are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
SmartNest does not guarantee that any estimate reflects the actual cost of your specific project. Actual costs depend on numerous factors outside our control, including but not limited to your location, home condition, materials and finishes selected, contractor pricing and availability, permit and inspection fees, site conditions, and market fluctuations. Estimates should be used only as a general planning tool and should not be relied upon as a substitute for a formal quote or bid from a licensed contractor.
We strongly recommend obtaining at least three (3) quotes from licensed, insured local contractors before making any purchasing or contracting decisions.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SmartNest and its owners, operators, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or reliance on any information, estimate, or content provided on the Site, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, budget overruns, or any other pecuniary loss, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
