Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Demolition.US, including demolition.us, our newsletters and email alerts, and related services (together, the “Service”). The Service is operated by Demolition.US (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service for a company or other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and “you” includes that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or buy a subscription.

2. What the Service includes

The Service covers the US demolition and abatement industry. Depending on your access level, it may include:

• News: headlines, short summaries, and links to articles published by other outlets, plus original Demolition.US editorials.
• Leads: reports about demolition and abatement work that contractors may still be able to pursue.
• Bid Opportunities: public solicitations, contract awards, and regulatory signals gathered from government and other sources.
• Contractor pages, which list published stories that mention a company as a bidder or contractor.
• A jobs board, the Demolition Weekly newsletter, email alerts, and account tools such as saved bids.

Some parts of the Service are free. Others, such as Leads and Bid Opportunities, require a paid subscription. We may add, change, or remove features at any time.

3. Accounts and team seats

Give us accurate information when you create an account, and keep it current. Keep your sign-in details secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us right away at hello@demolition.us if you think someone has used it without permission.

Each account or seat is for one named person. Do not share sign-in details, access links, or paid content with anyone who does not hold a seat. On a team plan, the team administrator manages seats, can add and remove members, and is responsible for the team’s use of the Service.

4. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

Plans and prices. The plans, prices, and features available at the time you subscribe are shown on our pricing page and at checkout. What you see at checkout is what you are buying.

Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, monthly or annually as you chose, and we charge your payment method at the renewal price until you cancel. We show the renewal terms at checkout and send a receipt for each charge.

Cancelling. You can cancel at any time from your account settings or by emailing hello@demolition.us. Cancellation stops the next renewal. You keep paid access until the end of the billing period you have already paid for.

Refunds. Fees are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods and unused seats, except where the law requires a refund, where these Terms provide one, or where we agree otherwise in writing.

Price changes. If we change the price of your subscription, we will email you at least 30 days before the new price applies to your next renewal. If you do not want to pay the new price, cancel before that renewal.

Trials and promotions. If we offer a free trial or promotional price, the terms shown when you sign up apply. Unless you cancel before a free trial ends, your paid subscription starts and your payment method is charged.

Seat changes, taxes, and payment. Charges for adding seats or changing plans are shown before you confirm them. Prices do not include applicable taxes unless stated, and you are responsible for those taxes. Payments are handled by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full card numbers. If a payment fails, we may pause paid access until it is resolved.

5. How you may use our content

We give you a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use the Service for your own information and for the internal business purposes of your organization. You may quote a headline or a short excerpt of a Demolition.US article with credit and a link back to it.

Unless we agree in writing, you may not:

• Copy, republish, resell, or redistribute paid content, including Leads, Bid Opportunities, and alerts, outside the people who hold seats on your account.
• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-download the Service, or use bots or other automated tools to access it, except through an API we provide to you under its own terms.
• Use our content to build a competing product or database, or to train or improve artificial intelligence models.
• Get around a paywall, article limit, or other access control, or share access links or sign-in details.
• Remove or change any copyright, attribution, or source notice.

6. Third-party news and links

Most news on the Service is reported by other publishers. We show a headline, a short summary, and a link to the original article, which belongs to its publisher. We do not present that reporting as our own. Original Demolition.US editorials carry our byline. Our Coverage Standards explain how we handle third-party material.

Links to publishers, government websites, employers, and other third parties are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. A link is not an endorsement.

7. Accuracy and no professional advice

We work to get things right, but the Service depends on sources we do not control. In particular:

• Summaries are prepared with the help of automated tools, including artificial intelligence, and checked against the source article. They can still contain mistakes. The original article is the authoritative account.
• Bid Opportunities, contract awards, and regulatory signals come from government and other third-party sources. They can be incomplete, delayed, or changed by amendments, extensions, or cancellations. Always confirm scope, deadlines, and requirements in the official solicitation documents before you bid.
• A Lead describes work that may happen, based on published reports and public records. It is not a promise that a project will be funded, go ahead, be put out to bid, or be open to you.
• Contractor tags and bid tabulations reflect what published reports and public records say about which companies bid on or were hired for a project. They are not endorsements, ratings, or statements about any company’s qualifications.

Nothing on the Service is legal, engineering, safety, environmental, financial, or bidding advice. Follow the laws, permits, and safety rules that apply to your work, and consult qualified professionals where appropriate. We are not responsible for missed deadlines, rejected bids, lost work, or decisions you make based on the Service.

If you spot an error, including a contractor tag, please tell us at hello@demolition.us with the page link and what is wrong. We review every correction request.

8. Tips and other submissions

When you send us a tip, press release, photo, document, correction, job listing, or other material, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that sharing it does not break any law or agreement. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, publish, and distribute it in connection with the Service. We decide what to publish and may edit for length, clarity, and accuracy.

If you ask to be a confidential source, we will protect your identity as described on our Submit an Article page and in our Privacy Policy. Do not send material that is unlawful to share or that contains malicious code.

9. Job listings

If you submit a job listing, you confirm that you are authorized to hire for the role, that it is a real opening, and that the listing is accurate and complies with employment and anti-discrimination laws. We review listings before they appear and may edit, decline, or remove any listing.

Some listings come from third-party job services and link to the original posting. We are not the employer, we do not take part in hiring decisions, and we do not guarantee any listing or employer. Applicants should verify openings directly with the employer.

10. Advertising and sponsored content

We label advertising and sponsored content. Advertisers are responsible for their ads and offers, and an ad on the Service is not an endorsement by Demolition.US.

11. Acceptable use

Do not use the Service to:

• Break any law or infringe anyone’s rights.
• Harass, threaten, or impersonate anyone, or misrepresent your connection to any person or company.
• Probe, scan, or test the Service for vulnerabilities, interfere with its operation, or place an unreasonable load on it.
• Reverse engineer the Service, except where the law allows it despite this restriction.
• Send spam, malicious code, or false information.

12. Our intellectual property

The Service, including its design, software, logos, original editorials, summaries, and the selection and arrangement of its content, belongs to Demolition.US or its licensors and is protected by law. The Demolition.US name and logo are our trademarks. These Terms do not give you any rights except those stated here.

If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.

13. Copyright complaints

We respect the rights of publishers and other copyright owners. If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, email hello@demolition.us with:

• A description of the copyrighted work.
• The link to the material you believe infringes it.
• Your name, address, phone number, and email address.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We will remove or disable access to material where appropriate. If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send us a counter-notice with the same contact details and an explanation. We end the accounts of repeat infringers where appropriate.

14. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. Subscriptions end as described in section 4.

We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, do not pay, create risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if the law requires it. If we end a paid subscription for a reason other than your breach of these Terms, or stop offering a paid service entirely, we will refund the unused portion of any fees you prepaid.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should continue after your access ends will continue, including those on content use, intellectual property, disclaimers, limits of liability, indemnification, and disputes.

15. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and we do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or complete.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Demolition.US and its owners, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, business, contracts, data, or goodwill, arising from the Service or these Terms, even if we were told such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for all claims arising from the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event that gave rise to the claim. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law.

16. Indemnification

To the extent the law allows, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Demolition.US and its owners, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising from your submissions or job listings, your misuse of the Service, your violation of any law or anyone’s rights, or your breach of these Terms. We will give you reasonable notice of any such claim.

17. Governing law and disputes

Before filing a claim, please contact us at hello@demolition.us and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally.

Florida law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service must be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Volusia County, Florida, unless the law requires otherwise, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

18. General terms

These Terms and our Privacy Policy, together with any terms shown at checkout, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the extent possible and the rest remains in effect. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.

You may not transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. We may send notices by email, through the Service, or by posting them on the website, and you agree that electronic notices and records have the same effect as paper ones.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we will post the new version here and change the updated date at the top. If a change is material, we will tell account holders by email before it takes effect. Changes apply going forward. If you keep using the Service after the updated Terms take effect, you accept them.

20. Contact

Questions about these Terms, and legal notices, can be sent to hello@demolition.us or through our contact page.
