Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Yardstick ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Service.

Description of Service

Yardstick provides AI-powered cost estimates for home repair and improvement projects. Our Service allows users to receive estimated costs for various home services based on information they provide, including project descriptions, photos, and location data.

Important: Estimates Only

Please understand that:

All cost estimates are for informational purposes only. The estimates provided by Yardstick are generated using AI technology and are intended to give you a general idea of potential costs. They are not quotes, bids, or guarantees of actual pricing.
Actual costs may vary significantly. The final cost of any home repair or improvement project will depend on many factors including the specific contractor you hire, local market conditions, the actual condition of your property, material costs, and other variables that cannot be fully assessed through our Service.
Yardstick does not perform any repair or improvement work. We are a cost estimation service only. Any work performed on your property will be done by independent contractors that you choose and hire separately.

User Responsibilities
