TERMS OF USE

This Agreement may be modified by Island Tradesman from time to time at its sole discretion, and You will receive notice if modifications to the Agreement are made. Island Tradesman strongly recommend that, as You read this Agreement, You should also access and read the linked information.
BY ACCEPTING THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT JUST AS IF YOU HAD SIGNED THIS AGREEMENT.
​
1. SUBMISSIONS OF REVIEWS
In order for You to submit Your own reviews and ratings on the Website, You acknowledge and agree that:
a. all of Your reviews and ratings will either be based upon: your actual first-hand experiences with Island Tradesman and the tradesmen you are reviewing;
b. all of Your reviews and ratings of Island Tradesman and their Tradesmen that you are rating will be accurate, truthful and complete in all respects;
c. You do not work for, own any interest in, or serve on the board of directors of Island Tradesman or their Tradesmen for which you submit reviews and ratings;
d. You do not work for, own any interest in or serve on the board of directors of Island Tradesman, for which you submit reviews and ratings;

f. Your name and review information will be made available to Island Tradesman on which You review; and
g. Island Tradesman may modify, adapt, or reject your reviews if they do not conform with Island Tradesman’s publication criteria, which may change from time to time at Island Tradesman’s sole discretion.
2. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
If you have a dispute with a Tradesman, You may request Island Tradesman’s assistance in communicating with that Tradesman about your desired resolution (the “Dispute Resolution Process” or the “DRP”).
You may request to participate in the DRP through our Website or by contacting a customer service representative. You then will be requested to complete and return to Island Tradesman certain documentation relating to your complaint. Shortly thereafter, a member of our Dispute Resolution Team will contact you to obtain additional information and understand Your desired resolution. The Dispute Resolution Team then will contact the Service Provider to explain your complaint and desired resolution and to ask the Service Provider to respond in writing within a reasonable timeframe.
​
If the Tradesman agrees to your desired resolution or supplies a counteroffer that you find acceptable, the case is considered resolved, Your review regarding the Tradesman will be removed, and You will have the opportunity to submit updated feedback about Your experience. If the Tradesman responds but does not resolve the matter as described above, Your feedback shall remain unchanged.
​
Your participation in the DRP is at Island Tradesman’s sole discretion. We reserve the right to reject your request to participate for any reason.
The DRP is not a legal forum and Island Tradesman does not, at any time, become a party to Your dispute with the Tradesman. Island Tradesman is neither a mediator nor an arbitrator and does not provide legal advice or assistance. If you believe legal services are necessary or would be helpful to resolve your dispute with a Service Provider, Island Tradesman encourages you to consult with an attorney. Island Tradesman does not guarantee that your participation in the DRP will result in a satisfactory outcome or your desired resolution.
​
You agree that, by offering the DRP, Island Tradesman does not waive any of its disclaimers or limitations of liability, including without limitation those set forth under Sections 5 (Tradesmen), 13 (Warranty Disclaimer), and 14 (Limitation of Liability).
​
You acknowledge and agree that, during the Term of your Plan, Island Tradesman may—in its sole discretion and without notice—change the DRP program, including without limitation, its name, process, and/or function.
