Terms of Service

Welcome to sumppump.ai. By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the site.

1. About sumppump.ai

sumppump.ai is an informational website that provides AI-assisted sump pump diagnostics and connects homeowners with local sump pump service contractors. We are not a licensed contractor, plumber, or home inspector. We do not perform any plumbing or water management services ourselves.

2. AI Diagnostic Tool — Important Disclaimer

Our free AI diagnostic tool is powered by a large language model (Anthropic Claude) and is intended for informational purposes only. It does not constitute professional plumbing, engineering, or home inspection advice.

The AI tool:

• Cannot physically inspect your equipment
• May produce incorrect or incomplete assessments
• Should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any repair, replacement, or emergency decision
• Is not a substitute for evaluation by a licensed plumbing professional

Always consult a qualified contractor before making decisions about sump pump repair or replacement, especially in situations involving flooding, electrical hazards, or sewage.

3. Contractor Referrals

When you submit a lead form requesting contractor quotes, sumppump.ai passes your contact information to third-party contractors or contractor networks. We do not endorse, guarantee, or warrant the work, licensing, insurance, or conduct of any referred contractor.

You are responsible for independently verifying that any contractor you hire is properly licensed and insured in your jurisdiction before allowing work to begin. Any contract for services is solely between you and the contractor — sumppump.ai is not a party to that agreement.

By submitting a lead form, you consent to being contacted by one or more contractors via phone, email, or text message regarding your request.

4. Affiliate Disclosure

sumppump.ai participates in the Amazon Associates Program and may participate in other affiliate programs. Product links marked with affiliate identifiers earn us a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. This compensation does not influence our editorial recommendations or product rankings.

5. Informational Content

All articles, guides, cost estimates, and sizing recommendations on this site are provided for general informational purposes. Costs, product availability, and technical specifications change over time. We make reasonable efforts to keep content accurate but do not warrant that any specific information is current, complete, or applicable to your situation.

Cost estimates (e.g., installation costs, equipment prices) are averages based on publicly available data and may not reflect prices in your local market.

6. No Warranties

This site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, sumppump.ai disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, sumppump.ai and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site, the AI diagnostic tool, any contractor referral, or any decision made in reliance on content found on this site — including but not limited to property damage, flooding, or personal injury.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from use of this site shall not exceed $100.

• Use the site for any unlawful purpose
• Scrape, crawl, or extract content from the site in bulk without permission

10. Third-Party Links and Products

This site links to third-party websites and products, including Amazon product listings and contractor platforms. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those third parties. Links do not constitute endorsement beyond what is explicitly stated.
