These Terms of Service were last updated October 31, 2023.
These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”), together with the Privacy Policy available at https://roofmarketplace.com/privacy-policy/ (the “Privacy Policy”), constitute a binding agreement between RoofMarketplace, Inc. (“us” or “we” or “RoofMarketplace”) and you or the legal entity you represent (“you” or the “User”).
RoofMarketplace offers an online platform that brings together homeowners (“Customers”), service providers (“Providers”), insurance carriers (“Carriers”), and other service and product providers to help simplify the search for and provision of roofing services and other services and products for homeowners (the “Services”). Use of this website (the “Site”), the Services, or any instructions or other documentation related to the Services provided by RoofMarketplace, including but not limited to aerial imagery, data, analysis, and information made available to you on this Site and the RoofMarketplace Platform as defined below (the “Content and Documentation”), is subject to and governed by these Terms of Service. By using the Services accessed through the Site or through a RoofMarketplace-approved API, you agree to all of the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service. The software and technology of RoofMarketplace that produces the Services is referred to as the “RoofMarketplace Platform.”
Please note, if you are a Provider or Carrier and have a Services Agreement or other similar agreement in effect with RoofMarketplace (the “Corporate Terms”), these Terms of Service supplement the Corporate Terms and apply to the extent your use of the Site and the Services are not governed by the specific provisions of the Corporate Terms. If any provision of these Terms of Service conflict with the Corporate Terms, then the provision contained in the Corporate Terms will govern and control and supersede these Terms of Service.
BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE OR THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO FOLLOW AND BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE THE SITE OR THE SERVICES.
1. SERVICES
A. Registration and Information Collected
In registering for the Services and creating a password-protected account (your “Account”), you will be required to provide to us certain identifying information. An Account for an organization may have multiple Users associated with it. Each User will be provided separate login credentials. Additional information may be collected from you in connection with your use of the Site and the Services. Our use of any information we collect from you in connection with the Services is subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy.
B. Bid Requests
After establishing an Account, if you are a Customer or a Carrier, you may provide RoofMarketplace with information to create a request to be sent to certain Providers in order to obtain a bid for the performance of various services (a “Bid Request”). Such Bid Request information may include your address, the address of the locations requiring the requested services, the requested service needs and requirements, and other information necessary for a Provider to create an informed bid on the requested services. By submitting a Bid Request, you represent and warrant that all information submitted in such Bid Request is true and correct. Upon submission of a Bid Request, where appropriate for the services requested (e.g., roofing), we may submit some or all of the information provided by you in the Bid Request to our service partners in order to complete such Bid Request.
Where appropriate for the services requested, we may submit the service address and location information to a third-party service provider to provide images of or other information concerning the roof, building, and surrounding areas of the location(s) for which the Bid Request is being submitted, along with applicable calculated measurements (“Bid Request Data”). In some cases, aerial imagery or other necessary data may not be available due to tree coverage or other issues outside of our control, limiting RoofMarketplace’s ability to complete a Bid Request. ROOFMARKETPLACE’S COLLECTION OF INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH COMPILING BID REQUESTS IS NOT INTENDED TO REQUIRE OR ENCOURAGE PERFORMANCE OF ANY DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS CLIMBING UP TO OR WALKING ON A ROOF. OUR INTENT IS TO GATHER INFORMATION THAT CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH SAFE MEANS, SO WHEN APPROPRIATE, PLEASE CONSULT WITH AND USE A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL TO GATHER SUCH INFORMATION.
Usually, the initial Bid Request information given to Providers will not include any personally identifiable information, such as names, addresses, or contact information, however it is possible that Bid Request information or Bid Request Data could unintentionally reveal or be used to discover some personally identifiable information. Neither RoofMarketplace, nor its third party providers, will be liable for any information revealed by any Bid Request Data. When there is no aerial imagery or Bid Request Data available, we may share with certain Providers your contact information to enable them to gather relevant information to respond to the Bid Request.
C. Providers; Bids
If you are a Provider, RoofMarketplace may share a Bid Request with you if you have indicated that you have the appropriate qualifications and preferences to perform the services requested. When available, RoofMarketplace will share aerial imagery or other site or structural measurements (including Bid Request Data) with the Bid Request to enable you to prepare a bid for services in response to such Bid Requests (“Bids”). Normally, you will then have the opportunity to bid on the Bid Requests for a period of time up to five (5) days from the date RoofMarketplace makes such information available for the Bid Request (the “Bid Period”). Within the Bid Period, if you submit a Bid to RoofMarketplace in response to the Bid Request, the requester will receive a notification from RoofMarketplace that your Bid is available to be viewed. Such notifications will be provided to requesters on a rolling basis within the Bid Period as Bids are received by RoofMarketplace from Providers. Each Bid must include your name and your business name, the material conditions or criteria for the applicable services, the fees for such requested services, and any other material terms and conditions applicable to your provision of services to the requester. In submitting a Bid, you shall (a) include all fees necessary to perform the services requested, including local code permits, taxes, and other fees, and (b) ensure that any Bid submitted is valid for a minimum of five (5) days following submission. After completing the bidding process, if your Bid has been selected by the requester, you will be provided access to the requester’s contact information to follow up on your Bid and contact the requester directly to schedule a meeting.
D. Selection of Bid; No Subversion
If you are a Customer or Carrier, after receiving Bids or when your contact information is shared due to insufficient Bid Request Data, Providers will have the opportunity to follow up on your Bid Request via the contact information provided in the Bid Request. RoofMarketplace recommends meeting Providers onsite to verify the scope of work before signing an agreement for services with any of the Providers. Providers are required to honor their Bid and are prohibited from modifying such Bid unless material conditions or criteria for the provision of the applicable services were not disclosed in your Bid Request. In such case, modifications may be made solely to adjust for the conditions or criteria not disclosed. An onsite meeting does not constitute an agreement between you and such Provider for the provision of the applicable services, and the Provider may require you to enter into a separate agreement prior to the Provider’s performance of the applicable services.
E. Availability and Accuracy of Bids
If you are a Customer or Carrier, you acknowledge that Bid submission is entirely within the discretion of the Providers, and RoofMarketplace makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees as to the availability of any Bids meeting any Bid Request requirements or that Bid Requests will receive a minimum number of Bids by using the Services. Further, while we require that all Providers using the Services represent to us that they will only submit accurate and truthful Bids, we do not and cannot verify the accuracy and truthfulness of such Bids and Provider information. We recommend that you verify the accuracy and truthfulness of any Bid and Provider information prior to contracting with such Provider. While RoofMarketplace requires Providers represent to us that they meet certain minimum criteria prior to submitting Bids, such criteria are not always verified or verifiable by RoofMarketplace, and RoofMarketplace’s provision of the Services in no way indicates an endorsement or warranty as to any Provider’s quality of services or a guarantee of a certain performance or workmanship standard. RoofMarketplace provides a matching service only and is not engaged in the provision of any services requested or identified in a Bid Request or any Bid. In addition to the foregoing, you acknowledge that because RoofMarketplace does not review Bid Requests for accuracy or legal compliance, it is possible that the services and work product you request in your Bid Request may not be factually accurate or legally compliant. RoofMarketplace hereby disclaims any and all liability pertaining to (a) the Provider-supplied information contained in any Bid, (b) any inaccuracies in any Bid Request DATA generated by a third party, (c) any inaccuracies in your Bid Request, (d) the legal compliance of your Bid Request, and (e) any and all acts or omissions of any Provider, including any Provider’s performance of services in connection with a Selected Bid.
In order to help us improve the quality of the Services, we ask to be notified in the event of any such issue with a Provider, Bid Request, or the services provided in connection with a Bid Request by sending a description of the problem and relevant Provider to legal@roofmarketplace.com.
2. MODIFICATIONS TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE
RoofMarketplace may modify these Terms of Service or any policy or other terms referenced in these Terms of Service (collectively, the “Additional Policies”) at any time by posting a revised version of the Terms of Service and the Additional Policies on the Site. Unless otherwise set forth in these Terms of Service, the revised terms will be effective (a) ten (10) days after posting or notifying you of the changes; or (b) upon your acceptance if RoofMarketplace provides a mechanism for your immediate acceptance of the revised terms, such as a click-through confirmation or acceptance button. By continuing to use or receive the Services after the effective date of any revisions to these Terms of Service or any of the Additional Policies, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms of Service and the revised Additional Policies. It is your responsibility to check the Site regularly for changes to these Terms of Service or the Additional Policies, as applicable.
