Website Termsof Use.

By accessing and using this website and our services, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to abide by these Terms, please do not use the Site.

Permission is granted to temporarily download one copy of the materials on Spore Shield's Site for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title. Under this license you may not modify or copy the materials; use them for any commercial purpose or public display; attempt to decompile or reverse engineer software on the Site; remove copyright or proprietary notations; or transfer the materials to another person or mirror them on another server.

The Knowledge Hub, glossary, FAQs, location pages, blog articles, quizzes, calculators, and all other informational content on the Site are provided for general educational purposes only. They do not constitute a mold inspection, an environmental assessment, a professional opinion regarding any specific property, or medical, legal, insurance, or real estate advice. No content on the Site creates a professional relationship between you and Spore Shield. Conditions at any specific property can only be evaluated by an on-site inspection performed under a written Inspection Agreement. Do not delay seeking professional inspection or medical care based on anything you read on the Site.

The Site may offer interactive tools, including the Spore Score assessment and AI-assisted features that generate responses based on information you submit. These tools produce automated, generalized output based on limited self-reported inputs. Output is not an inspection, diagnosis, test result, professional opinion, or determination regarding the safety, habitability, or condition of any property, and it is not medical advice. Automated output may be incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date. Spore Shield makes no warranty regarding any output and disclaims all liability arising from your reliance on it.

You are responsible for the information, text, and images you submit to these tools. Do not submit sensitive personal information, protected health information, or content you do not have the right to share. By submitting content, you grant Spore Shield a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process, store, and use that content to operate and improve the Site and its features, subject to the Privacy Policy. Spore Shield may limit, suspend, or discontinue any tool at any time without notice.

Submitting a request through the Site does not create a binding appointment or a contract for services. All service requests are subject to confirmation by Spore Shield, availability, and service area. Any pricing displayed on the Site is an estimate for typical properties and is subject to change without notice. Final pricing depends on property size, access, scope, sample count, and other factors, and is confirmed in writing on the invoice accompanying the Inspection Agreement. Spore Shield reserves the right to decline any request for any lawful reason.

The materials on Spore Shield's Site are provided "as is." Spore Shield makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties, including implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Spore Shield and its suppliers are not liable for damages, including loss of data or profit or business interruption, arising from use of or inability to use Site materials. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you; in those jurisdictions Spore Shield's liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Materials on the Site could include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. Spore Shield does not warrant that materials are accurate, complete, or current and may change them at any time without notice.

Spore Shield has not reviewed all sites linked to the Site and is not responsible for their contents. A link does not imply endorsement, and use of linked websites is at your own risk.

You agree not to use the Site to violate any law, interfere with or disrupt the Site or its servers, attempt unauthorized access to an account or system, transmit malicious code, harvest contact information, or submit false, fraudulent, or defamatory content.

Except for search engine crawlers operating in accordance with the Site's robots.txt file, you may not use scrapers, bots, crawlers, data-mining tools, or other automated agents to access, copy, index, or extract Site content, or use Site content to train, fine-tune, or ground a machine-learning or generative AI system, without Spore Shield's prior written permission.

Testimonials and reviews on the Site reflect individual customer experiences and are not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of results for any other customer. Reviews on third-party platforms are governed by those platforms. Spore Shield does not compensate customers for reviews. Business listings and profiles maintained on third-party directories are provided by those directories, and Spore Shield is not responsible for their accuracy.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Spore Shield LLC, its members, officers, employees, agents, and contractors from and against any claim, demand, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your submission of content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any right of a third party.

Spore Shield may revise these Terms at any time. By continuing to use the Site, you agree to be bound by the then-current version of these Terms.

These Terms govern use of the Site only. Mold inspection, testing, sampling, reporting, protocol writing, and other professional services provided by Spore Shield are governed by a separate written Inspection Agreement and any associated proposal, invoice, or scope of work, which controls over these Terms with respect to those services.

Your use of the Site is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

All content on the Site—including logos, branding, text, graphics, photos, reports, sample documents, and the Spore Shield Certified™ mark—is the property of Spore Shield LLC or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright and trademark laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission.

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a written notice to info@sporeshield.com identifying the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material and its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the owner. Spore Shield will respond in accordance with applicable law.

Spore Shield is working to keep the Site accessible to users of all abilities. If you encounter a barrier to accessing content or a function, contact info@sporeshield.com and we will work with you to provide the information or service through an alternative method.

Any claim arising out of or related to your use of the Site must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim arose or it is permanently barred, to the fullest extent permitted by law. You and Spore Shield each waive any right to trial by jury and any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action with respect to such a claim.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain valid and enforceable.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Inspection Agreement, represent the complete agreement between you and Spore Shield with respect to your use of the Site. Any changes must be made in writing.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that state.
