Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website at ricebrothersmechanical.com (the “Site”), operated by Rice Brothers Mechanical (“we,” “our,” or “us”), a mechanical contractor serving Greater Houston from Houston, TX. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Use of This Site

The Site provides general information about our HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services and lets you request service, ask questions, and apply for open positions. You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes, and not to interfere with its operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems, submit false or misleading information through our forms, or use automated tools to scrape or overload the Site.

2. Informational Content — No Professional Advice

Content on the Site (including articles, FAQs, and learning-center material) is provided for general information only. It is not engineering, safety, or code-compliance advice for your specific property, and it does not create a contractor–client relationship. Mechanical, plumbing, and electrical work can be dangerous — always consult a qualified, licensed professional before attempting repairs. We work to keep Site content accurate but make no warranty that it is complete or current.

3. Estimates, Scheduling & Service

Requesting service through the Site is an inquiry, not a booking guarantee; we will contact you to confirm scope and scheduling. Pricing and promotions shown on the Site are subject to change. Any estimate or quote becomes a binding agreement only when confirmed in writing for a specific scope of work, and actual pricing may vary based on site conditions discovered during the work. Separate written service agreements, proposals, or maintenance-plan terms control over these Terms where they conflict.

4. Financing

Financing for qualifying projects is offered through third-party lenders, including Synchrony, subject to credit approval and the lender's own terms and conditions. We are not a lender and do not make credit decisions. Financing applications are submitted to and processed by the lender on the lender's own systems; the lender's terms and privacy policy govern your application. See the Payment Security section of our Privacy Policy for how payments and financing data are handled.

5. Communications

When you submit a form or call us, you agree that we may contact you about your request by phone or email using the contact details you provided. Text messaging, if offered, is governed by the consent language presented at the point of sign-up and the Privacy Policy (reply STOP to unsubscribe; message and data rates may apply). Consent to marketing communications is never a condition of purchasing our services.

6. Intellectual Property

The Site and its content — including text, graphics, logos, photographs, and page design — are owned by Rice Brothers Mechanical or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use; any other reproduction, distribution, or modification requires our prior written permission.

7. Third-Party Links & Services

The Site may link to third-party websites or services (for example, review platforms or our financing partners). We are not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of third-party sites; your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. This disclaimer applies to the website itself; warranties on installed equipment or performed work, where offered, are stated in your written service agreement.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Rice Brothers Mechanical and its owners, employees, and agents are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Rice Brothers Mechanical harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms.

11. Privacy & Your Choices

Our collection and use of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy. California residents can review their rights and opt-out options — including “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” — in the Your Privacy Choices section of that policy.

12. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or your use of the Site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version, with its “Last updated” date, will always be posted on this page; continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
