Effective July 31, 2026
Terms & Conditions
By using HomeScope Guide, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. The site provides general educational planning information—not project approval or professional advice.
Educational information only
Content, calculators, checklists, comparisons, and reports are general planning aids. They are not legal, engineering, architectural, code, safety, tax, financial, insurance, real-estate, or contractor advice. HomeScope Guide is not a municipality, permitting authority, contractor, broker, lender, inspector, or professional adviser and does not represent any linked organization.
Estimates are not facts or quotes
Cost ranges and calculator outputs are broad estimates based on stated assumptions. They are not bids, appraisals, guarantees, price indexes, or promises of project feasibility. Actual costs and requirements vary with location, scope, site conditions, design, products, labor, timing, permits, utilities, and other factors. Obtain written bids and qualified professional advice before making decisions.
Permits, codes, and official sources
Permit rules, fees, forms, contacts, inspection procedures, codes, and web pages can change without notice. A linked source or visible review date does not guarantee that information remains current or applies to a particular address or scope. Users must verify requirements directly with the responsible authority and obtain required approvals before work begins. Never conceal work that requires inspection.
AI-assisted content
HomeScope Guide may use artificial-intelligence-assisted tools for research organization, drafting, editing, calculations, or site operation. AI-assisted material can be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. We review and source material where practical, but no automated or human review eliminates error. Official sources and qualified professionals control when their guidance conflicts with this site.
Contractors and third parties
HomeScope Guide does not endorse, certify, supervise, or guarantee contractors, products, municipalities, or linked services unless expressly stated in writing. Users are responsible for checking licenses, insurance, references, contracts, warranties, lien protections, payment schedules, and permit responsibility. Third-party sites and services are governed by their own terms.
Acceptable use and intellectual property
You may use the site and printable tools for personal, noncommercial project planning. Do not disrupt the site, bypass security, scrape at abusive volume, submit unlawful or deceptive material, impersonate others, or republish substantial site content as your own. HomeScope Guide’s original text, design, branding, and tools remain protected by applicable intellectual-property law.
No warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, availability, or results. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, HomeScope Guide and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost savings or profits, property damage, project delay, permit or code problems, contractor disputes, or decisions made in reliance on the site. Where liability cannot legally be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent allowed by law.
Changes and severability
We may update the site and these terms. Continued use after an updated effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. These terms do not waive rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
