User Generated Content

You retain your intellectual property ownership rights over content you submit to us for publication on our website. We do not claim ownership of your content, but we do require a license from you in order to use it.

You give us permission to use your username and other identifying information associated with your account in a manner that is consistent with your privacy preferences and our Privacy Policy.

Liability

Our website and the materials on our website are provided on an "as is" basis. To the extent permitted by law, Use Handyman makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims and negates all other warranties, including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non infringement of intellectual property, or other violation of rights.

In no event shall Use Handyman or its suppliers be liable for any consequential loss suffered or incurred by you or any third party arising from the use of or inability to use this website or the materials on this website, even if Use Handyman or an authorized representative has been notified, orally or in writing, of the possibility of such damage.

In the context of this agreement, "consequential loss" includes any consequential loss, indirect loss, real or anticipated loss of profit, loss of benefit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity, loss of savings, loss of reputation, loss of use, and/or loss or corruption of data, whether under statute, contract, equity, tort (including negligence), indemnity, or otherwise.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.

Use Handyman does not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, likely results, or reliability of the use of the materials on this website, or otherwise relating to such materials or on any resources linked to this website.
