When you click on any of the Third-Party Links, the applicable third party’s terms and policies apply, including the third party’s privacy and data gathering practices.

6. Independent Contractors.

6.1. The services, if you choose to use any, are provided by an independent contractor and NOT by HFD. The price and the work are agreed directly between you and the independent contractor, and not with HFD.

6.2. Requests. When you send a request through the Site or call us, we pass your request to an independent contractor with whom we work. Sending a request does not create a contract for any work, and you do not have to accept any estimate.

6.3. No Guarantee. The independent contractor is not our employee or agent. The independent contractor sets its own prices, schedule, methods and any warranty for its work. We do not guarantee that an independent contractor will be available, will contact you within a certain time or will accept your job, and we do not guarantee the quality, safety, timing or results of any work. Before you hire anyone, please check their references and the terms they offer you. It is always advised to get at least one additional price proposal.

6.5. Limitation of HFD Liability for Work. To the maximum extent permitted by law, HFD is not responsible for any harm, injury, loss, or damages arising out of or in connection with work done, or not done, by an independent contractor, or from your dealings with them. Any claim about the work is between you and the independent contractor.

7. Release & Disclaimers

7.1. RELEASE. YOU HEREBY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE HFD (AND OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS) FROM, AND HEREBY WAIVE AND RELINQUISH, EACH AND EVERY PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE DISPUTE, CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DEMAND, RIGHT, OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, ACTION AND CAUSE OF ACTION OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE (INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURIES, DEATH, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE), INCLUDING ANY CLAIM BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON THE NEGLIGENCE OF HFD, THAT HAS ARISEN OR ARISES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, OR THAT RELATES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO, THE SITE (INCLUDING ANY INTERACTIONS WITH, OR ACT OR OMISSION OF, ANY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR OR ANY THIRD-PARTY LINKS). THIS RELEASE DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT OF HFD, OR TO ANY RIGHT THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED BY LAW, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT. IF ANY JURISDICTION DOES NOT ALLOW THE ABOVE RELEASE, OR LIMITS IT, THEN THE ABOVE RELEASE WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT, DURATION AND LIMITATION AS IS PERMITTED BY THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

7.2. DISCLAIMER. THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND HFD EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS, OR WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE, COMPLETE, COMPLY WITH ALL LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW, OR SAFE. IF APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE, ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST USE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION/LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT, DURATION AND LIMITATION AS IS PERMITTED BY THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HFD BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, EXCEPT IN CASES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT BY HFD (AS CLEARLY EVIDENCED BY YOU), EVEN IF HFD (INCLUDING ANY MANAGEMENT MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, ETC.) HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SITE ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING TO YOUR DEVICE OR COMPUTER SYSTEM, OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION), WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM OF FIFTY US DOLLARS (U.S. $50). THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. YOU AGREE THAT OUR SUPPLIERS WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Subject to this Section, these Terms will remain in full force and effect while you use the Site. We may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Site at any time for any reason at our sole discretion. Upon termination of your rights under these Terms, your right to access and use the Site, or specific functions of its service, will terminate immediately and we may (but don’t have to - subject to our Privacy Policy) delete any User Content of yours that we have. We will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of your rights under these Terms. Even after your rights under these Terms are terminated, these Terms will remain in effect.

10. Copyright Policy.

We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that users of the Site do the same. We have adopted a policy respecting copyright law that provides for the removal of any infringing materials.

If you believe that any information on the Site is unlawfully infringing copyright(s), and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, please send us the following information by e-mail to: info@houstonfrenchdrain.com

  • Identification of the copyrighted work(s) (the ‘original’ work) that you claim to have been infringed;
  • Identification of the material on our Site that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove, and sufficient information to permit us to locate such material;
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit HFD to contact you, such as your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
  • A signed statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please note that any misrepresentation of material fact/s (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects you to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.

11. General

11.1 Changes. These Terms are subject to occasional revision. If we make any substantial changes they will be made on this page and we will update the “Last revised on” date below and may add a note below it with the main changes made. Changes take effect 24 hours after they have been posted. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

11.2 Dispute Resolution. Before filing any formal legal claim, you agree to first contact HFD (via our contact form or by email) and attempt to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith. HFD will endeavour to respond and engage in resolution discussions within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving notice of the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within those thirty (30) days, either party may start online arbitration under the “Online Arbitration” section below, which is compulsory before any claim is filed in court. Only after the online arbitration, and only as these Terms and the law allow, may the parties submit a claim to court (for example, to confirm, enforce or challenge the arbitration award), as set out in the “Governing Law and Jurisdiction” section below. Once again: HFD is not a party to any agreement or issue that you may have with the independent contractor that provided the services. If such a dispute exists, you should contact the independent contractor directly.

11.3 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable United States federal law, exclusive of choice of law rules. Your conduct may also be subject to other local, state and federal laws. Only after the steps in the “Dispute Resolution” and “Online Arbitration” sections (except a request for urgent relief under the “Online Arbitration” section), any action to be brought in connection with these Terms, and/or the Site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and you irrevocably consent to their jurisdiction. Any cause of action against us must be brought within two (2) years, or the shortest period legally permitted by applicable law (the shorter of the two), of the date such cause of action arose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HFD may lodge a claim against you pursuant to the indemnity clause in these Terms, in any court adjudicating a third-party claim against HFD.

Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Service. In any action to enforce these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.

11.4 Online Arbitration. If a dispute between you and HFD is not resolved under the “Dispute Resolution” section above, you and HFD agree to resolve it first by binding arbitration held online (by video call, telephone or written submissions, so that no one has to travel), before going to any court. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, in English, and under the laws of the State of Texas and the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator’s award is final and may be entered in any court with jurisdiction, including the courts located in Harris County, Texas. We may ask a court for urgent relief to protect our intellectual property or to stop a breach of the Acceptable Use Policy. Each party will pay half of the arbitration fees (including the AAA’s fees and the arbitrator’s compensation). After the arbitrator decides, the losing party will repay the winning party the arbitration fees the winning party paid. These fee terms apply to the extent the AAA’s rules and applicable law allow. You and HFD agree that claims may be brought only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative action, and that the arbitrator may not combine the claims of more than one person. YOU AND HFD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. THIS WAIVER IS A FUNDAMENTAL CONDITION OF THESE TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO IT, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITE.

11.5 Electronic Communications. The communications between you and HFD may be through electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us e-mails, or whether HFD posts notices on the Site or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from us in electronic form; (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were in a hardcopy writing and (c) waive any requirements or rights under any laws, regulations, rules, orders, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.

11.6 Entire Terms and Non-Waiver. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Neither party is an agent or partner of the other. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without HFD’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. HFD may freely assign these Terms. The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.

All trademarks, logos and service marks (“Marks”) displayed on the Site are our property or the property of other third parties who have permitted us to use them.
