Terms of Use

Last updated: 27/10/2025

By accessing or using lendetc.co (“the Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

  1. Informational only — not professional advice

All content on lendetc.co is for general information and education. It is not:
• Structural engineering advice
• Architectural design approval
• Legal advice
• Building code approval
• A substitute for on-site inspection

Foundation repair, underpinning, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, drainage systems, retaining walls, structural framing, egress windows, and similar work may require permits, inspections, and licensed professionals in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for compliance with local law.

  1. No guarantee of accuracy or completeness

We try to keep repair methods, code references, and cost ranges up to date. However:
• Codes vary by city/state/region
• Soil, water table, and access conditions are unique to each property
• Labor and material prices change
• Safety rules change

We do not guarantee that information on this Site reflects current code, law, or pricing in your area. You use the information at your own risk.

  1. Sponsored / contributed content

We may publish sponsored or contributed material from contractors, manufacturers, engineers, or service providers. Sponsored material may include:
• Mentions of brands or systems
• Links to partner sites
• “X vs Y” comparisons or “best sump pump” style articles
• Cost breakdowns submitted by industry partners

Sponsored content does not mean we have inspected, certified, endorsed, or guaranteed any contractor, service, product, or method. You must perform your own due diligence.

If you are a company and want to discuss sponsored technical placement, use https://lendetc.co/contact/

  1. Outbound links

The Site links to third-party sites (contractors, manufacturers, engineering firms, etc.). We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, claims, pricing, certifications, safety practices, warranties, policies, or privacy practices.

Clicking external links is at your own risk.

  1. Intellectual property

Unless noted otherwise, all original articles, graphics, comparisons, cost tables, and process checklists on lendetc.co are owned by LENDETC.

You may not copy, scrape, resell, or republish our content for commercial use without written permission.

You may link to our articles for non-commercial reference if you include a visible attribution to LENDETC.

  1. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, LENDETC and its contributors are not liable for:
• Property damage
• Financial loss
• Failed inspections or denied permits
• Code violations
• Structural failures
• Injury or death

arising from the use or misuse of any information on this Site, or from work performed by any contractor, installer, manufacturer, or engineer referenced on this Site.

You are fully responsible for hiring qualified professionals and meeting all code and safety requirements.

  1. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms of Use at any time. Continued use of lendetc.co after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
