You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Our total liability shall not exceed the amounts paid by you in the twelve months preceding the claim. We do not guarantee the quality of work performed by Installers and are not responsible for disputes between Clients and Installers.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You agree to waive any right to participate in class action lawsuits. For disputes between Clients and Installers, Install1 may offer mediation services but is not obligated to resolve such disputes.
