Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using fountainvalleyhvac.com ("the platform," "we," "us"), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any portion of these terms, you must immediately discontinue using our website and referral communication services.

2. Operational Role as a Referral Network

fountainvalleyhvac.com is a free referral service designed to connect property owners with independent, qualified heating, ventilation, and air conditioning contractors across Fountain Valley and surrounding Orange County communities. We are not a direct HVAC contracting entity, do not employ technicians, and do not directly perform mechanical diagnostics, physical repairs, equipment installations, or ductwork replacements.

All diagnostic assessments, written estimates, equipment warranties, and physical contracting work are performed solely by independent service providers. Each contractor operates under their own business entity, California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) license, municipal permits, and commercial liability insurance policies.

3. Independent Contractor Relationships

When you submit an inquiry form or call our telephone dispatch line, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • No contractual or agency relationship is established between you and fountainvalleyhvac.com regarding physical HVAC contracting services.
  • Your agreement for diagnostic testing, equipment servicing, or system replacement is formed solely between you and the independent contractor performing the work.
  • fountainvalleyhvac.com does not endorse, guarantee, or warrant the specific quality, timeliness, pricing, or outcomes of services provided by independent contractors.
  • It remains the sole responsibility of the property owner to review and confirm contractor credentials, CSLB license validity, bond status, and insurance coverage prior to authorizing any work.

4. Pricing, Estimates, and Diagnostic Fees

Any price ranges, cost guide estimates, or diagnostic figures referenced on this website are provided strictly for educational and general budgeting purposes. True project costs vary substantially based on equipment tonnage, SEER2 ratings, accessibility constraints, refrigerant types, electrical requirements, and job complexity. Every independent technician provides an itemized written estimate on-site prior to initiating any repair or installation service.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by California law, fountainvalleyhvac.com and its operators, affiliates, and representatives shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of this platform or services rendered by referred independent contractors. This includes property damage, equipment failure, personal injury, project delays, or cost discrepancies.

6. Intellectual Property and Content Usage

All original text, technical explanations, website layout elements, graphic designs, and logos displayed on fountainvalleyhvac.com are the exclusive intellectual property of the platform and protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. Unauthorized reproduction, modification, or automated scraping of website content is strictly prohibited.

7. Governing Law and Severability

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. If any provision of these terms is deemed unlawful or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
