Who runs this site
FoundationAnswers (www.foundationanswers.com) is operated by Rebecca Scherzinger. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean the operator, and "you" means anyone using the site.
Information, not professional advice
The site gives general information about foundation, crawl space, basement water, damp and water-damage problems. It is not engineering, legal, financial or insurance advice for your situation, and using it does not create a professional relationship. Our disclaimer explains this in more detail.
Using our content
All text, diagrams, tables and design on this site belong to us unless stated otherwise. You may read, print and share links to our pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may quote a short passage if you credit FoundationAnswers and link to the page. You may not copy whole guides, republish our diagrams, or use our content to train or feed automated systems without written permission.
Acceptable use
Please don't try to disrupt the site, access it in ways that put an unreasonable load on it, scrape it at scale, or use it for anything unlawful.
Product links
Some pages contain labeled links to products. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The seller, not us, is responsible for the product, its delivery and any warranty.
Links to other websites
We link to standards bodies, government agencies and other useful sources. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
No guarantees
We work to keep every guide accurate and current, but the site is provided "as is". We don't guarantee that it is complete, error-free or always available.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content, including decisions about repairs, purchases or property. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Changes and governing law
We may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States. If you have a question about them, please use our contact page, or head back to FoundationAnswers home.
