Terms and Conditions
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the San Luis Obispo Tree Partners website, which operates as a lead generation site for tree services in San Luis Obispo and surrounding areas. By accessing or using this website in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, as well as any additional policies referenced here (including our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy).
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
2. Who We Are and Lead Generation Nature
San Luis Obispo Tree Partners operates this website to connect users with tree services in designated California service areas. In many cases, services may be performed by San Luis Obispo Tree Partners, independent contractors, or partner businesses. The website itself, and the platform or publisher that hosts it, are not licensed tree service contractors in all jurisdictions and do not guarantee that any specific service will be provided.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
3. Use of This Website
You may use this website for lawful purposes only, including to learn more about tree services in San Luis Obispo County, to submit inquiries, and to evaluate general information about tree care. You agree not to misuse the site or interfere with its normal operation.
Permitted uses include, for example:
- Submitting honest and accurate requests for information or services.
- Reviewing general information about tree services, fire-safety concepts, and related topics.
- Communicating with providers about potential services in a respectful and lawful manner.
Prohibited uses include engaging in unlawful activities, attempting to gain unauthorized access to systems, scraping or harvesting content at scale, transmitting harmful code, or using the site in a way that could damage, disable, or impair its operation.
4. Not a Substitute for Emergency Services
This website is not intended for emergency use. If you believe there is an immediate risk to life, health, or property—such as active fire, downed live power lines, or severely unstable trees over occupied structures—you must contact 911 or local emergency services first.
We do not guarantee any particular response time to inquiries submitted through this site, and we do not accept responsibility for any harm arising from delays in reading or responding to online submissions.
5. Accuracy and Availability
All content on this website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make reasonable efforts to keep information relevant, but we do not warrant that the site or its content will be error-free, free of inaccuracies, or continuously available.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site, including content or features, at any time without notice. Provider details, pricing, and availability are subject to change without being updated immediately on the site.
6. Intellectual Property
The text, graphics, logos, and other materials on this website may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. San Luis Obispo Tree Partners and/or its licensors retain ownership of these materials except where otherwise noted.
You may view, print, or download content for your personal, non-commercial use related to evaluating tree services, but you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, or create derivative works from the content without prior written permission, except as allowed by law.
7. Third-Party Links and Services
This website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or resources, including sites operated by tree service providers, mapping services, or information sources. These links are provided for convenience only.
We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk, and you should review their terms and policies directly.
8. Platform and Publisher Disclaimer
The third-party platform and publisher that host this site are not responsible for the accuracy of content posted by San Luis Obispo Tree Partners, nor for services provided by independent tree service providers. They do not verify or endorse providers or services and have no involvement in your contracts with them.
All statements in these Terms and Conditions that limit liability or disclaim warranties on behalf of San Luis Obispo Tree Partners are also intended, to the extent permitted by law, to benefit the platform and publisher.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, San Luis Obispo Tree Partners, the platform, and the publisher shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of this website, any content, or services arranged through providers contacted via this site.
Where liability cannot be entirely excluded, any aggregate liability to you for direct damages will be limited to the greater of: (a) the amount, if any, you paid directly to San Luis Obispo Tree Partners for the specific service giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars (USD $100). These limitations apply even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless San Luis Obispo Tree Partners, its owners, employees, and contractors, as well as the platform and publisher, from and against any claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of this website, (b) your violation of these Terms and Conditions, or (c) your dealings with any provider contacted through this site.
This indemnification obligation survives your use of the website and any termination of these Terms and Conditions.
11. Communications, CAN-SPAM, and TCPA
We and participating providers strive to comply with communications laws, including CAN-SPAM and TCPA, where applicable. You will not receive marketing emails or texts unrelated to your inquiry without a lawful basis and applicable consent.
You may opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in messages. You can generally opt out of text communications by following the instructions in the message, such as replying “STOP,” subject to provider-specific instructions and applicable law.
12. Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute between you and San Luis Obispo Tree Partners arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or your use of the website, the parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve the matter through informal discussions.
If a resolution cannot be reached informally, and unless prohibited by law, disputes may be submitted to binding arbitration or another agreed form of alternative dispute resolution in California, and claims must be brought on an individual basis rather than as part of a class or representative action, to the extent permitted by law.
