HANDYMAN CONNECTION is a Franchisor and is not involved in the actual contract between users of the Website, Services or Mobile Apps or in the completion of service. Should you have a dispute with any craftsman, service advisor or franchisee, you must address such dispute with the franchisee directly. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE HANDYMAN CONNECTION (AND HANDYMAN CONNECTION’s OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS) FROM ANY DAMAGES OR CLAIMS (INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES) OF EVERY KIND OR NATURE, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, AND DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES AND YOUR DEALINGS WITH ANY CRAFTSMAN, SERVICE ADVISORS OR FRANCHISEES.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS, IT IS DETERMINED THAT HANDYMAN CONNECTION OR ITS FRANCHISEES, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS LICENSORS, OR ANY OF SUCH PARTIES’ AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, CORPORATE PARTNERS, OR PARTICIPANTS IS LIABLE FOR DAMAGES, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO HANDYMAN CONNECTION DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE TIME SUCH CLAIM AROSE.
While HANDYMAN CONNECTION cannot guarantee the work performed by a specific craftsman, and while HANDYMAN CONNECTION has no obligation to you with regard to your relationship with a franchisee, service advisor or craftsman, HANDYMAN CONNECTION may try and assist you in resolving any disputes that may arise in the course of a home improvement repair or maintenance project. We may attempt to assist in the negotiations between a franchisee and customer, while respecting the relationships and contracts that may exist between the franchisees and customers. We may, upon your request, provide limited assistance in resolving disputes between you and a franchisee. If you have any disputes with a craftsman or service advisor, you must resolve your dispute with your franchisee. You must participate and use good faith efforts to resolve problems through the resolution process. Such limited assistance in no way nullifies the release and indemnification described in these Terms of Use.
HANDYMAN CONNECTION requests that the franchisees do a background check for the craftsman that they send out to estimate and complete jobs. HANDYMAN CONNECTION does not guaranty that all craftsman and/or service advisors have been background checked, nor does HANDYMAN CONNECTION warrant or represent that profile and screening information is up to date. HANDYMAN CONNECTION performs a background check on new franchisees by using a third-party source to conduct a criminal, financial and sex offender search in the state where the franchise candidate is located. Please note that HANDYMAN CONNECTION does not conduct background checks in states that the franchise candidate is not located in. WE PERFORM THE ABOVE SCREENING BASED UPON INFORMATION PROVIDED TO HANDYMAN CONNECTION BY THE INDIVIDUAL, AND WE RELY ON THIRD PARTY DATA FOR THE ACCURACY OF THIS INFORMATION. FRANCHISES DO NOT HAVE ONGOING BACKGROUND CHECKS AND THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND THAT BEFORE YOU WORK WITH A FRANCHISEE THAT YOU VERIFY THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THEIR PROFILE IS STILL ACCURATE, CURRENT AND ACCEPTABLE TO YOU.
FRANCHISEES ARE REQUESTED TO PERFORM SCREENING INITIALLY AT THE TIME THE CRAFTSMAN OR SERVICE ADVISOR APPLIES FOR WORK, AND THEREFORE INFORMATION MAY CHANGE OR EXPIRE OVER TIME. THUS, NEITHER HANDYMAN CONNECTION, NOR THE FRANCHISEE CANNOT AND DOES NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT PROFILE AND SCREENING INFORMATION IS UP TO DATE. HANDYMAN CONNECTION IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE A CRAFTSMAN’S BACKGROUND CHECK INFORMATION. WE RECOMMEND THAT BEFORE WORKING WITH A SERVICE ADVISOR OR CRAFTSMAN THAT YOU VERIFY THAT INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THEIR PROFILE IS STILL ACCURATE, CURRENT AND ACCEPTABLE TO YOU
DISCLAIMER: HANDYMAN CONNECTION EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED RELATING TO THE SCREENING PROCESS, CRITERIA, PROCEDURES, OR INFORMATION OBTAINED OR PRESENTED IN THE SCREENING PROCESS OR DISCLOSURES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, OR THAT THE SCREENING OR VERIFICATION PROCEDURES OR STANDARDS ARE SUFFICIENT OR THAT THE INFORMATION RECEIVED IN THESE SCREENING OR VERIFICATION PROCEDURES IS ACCURATE, TIMELY OR ERROR FREE.
