Draft for legal review. This text is a starting point, not final legal terms. Bracketed items need a decision from the owner and the lawyer. Remove this notice only after review.
These terms govern your use of quoteloupe.com and the QuoteLoupe quote checker (together, the “site”). The site is operated by [DRAFT: operator legal name] (“QuoteLoupe”, “we”, “us”). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
What the site is
QuoteLoupe is a free information tool that helps homeowners review residential HVAC replacement quotes for completeness. It scores a quote against a published checklist, raises flags based on published rules, and suggests questions to ask. It does not assess prices, contractors or the quality of any work.
General information only
Everything on the site, including checker results, guides and answers, is general information. It is not legal, tax, financial, engineering or other professional advice, and it does not create any professional or advisory relationship. Rules on permits, licensing, deposits and incentives vary by location and change over time. Before acting, check with the relevant authority or a qualified professional. See our disclaimer.
Your responsibilities
- You are responsible for the information you enter and for checking that what the checker reads from an upload is correct before you rely on a result.
- You remain responsible for your decisions about contractors, contracts and payments.
- You agree not to misuse the site, including by attempting to disrupt it, access it by automated means at a volume that burdens it, or use it for any unlawful purpose.
Accuracy and availability
We work to keep the site accurate and cite our sources, but we do not guarantee that any content is complete, current or free of errors, or that the site will be available without interruption. Uploaded text and photos are read by automated software that can make mistakes, which is why you are asked to confirm what was read. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time.
No endorsement
We do not endorse, rate or recommend any contractor, manufacturer or product. A flag or a low score is a prompt to ask a question; it is not a statement about any business. Names and model numbers in examples are fictional unless stated otherwise.

The site links to government agencies, standards bodies and other sources. We are not responsible for their content or practices.
