Terms and Conditions

Snupit Services

Snupit provides customers with two options on how to look for a particular service. One: search and find Pros directly on the website. Two: allow us to find the services for you. We recommend you to allow us to help you. You tell us what you need by answering a few simple questions to post your quote request. Once you’ve submitted your quote request online, interested professionals will contact you to discuss the details of your project. This is a great time to review their profile on Snupit and discuss how to get an accurate quote for your project. You compare the quotes, review the Pro’s business profile and hire the right Pro when you ready.

• 1
  Snupit – After you enter quote request details, we will attempt to match you with up to at least 5 Pro’s in your City, who may be interested in quoting you. However, we do not guarantee that we will be able to match your service needs with a Pro in your area that are either capable or willing to complete your service needs.
• 2
  Directory You can search and view a directory of businesses and Pro’s who have listed with us and who provide services in the project categories that you select. These listings include photos, videos, location maps, ratings and reviews.
• 3
  No Guarantees or Endorsements. Although we take certain steps to examine the credentials of our listed Pro’s, we make no guarantees or representations regarding the skills or representations of such Pro’s or the quality of the job that he or she may perform for you if you elect to hire their services. Snupit does not endorse or recommend the services of any particular business/Pro’s listed on our online platform. It is entirely up to you to evaluate a Pro’s qualifications, and to enter into a direct contract with the business. We do not guarantee or warrant any Pro’s performance on the job or the outcome or quality of the services performed. The Pro’s and their businesses are not employees or agents of Snupit, nor is Snupit an agent of the Pro’s.
• 4
  No Contracting via the Snupit Website. Snupit does not guarantee or warrant the pricing or discounts that a Pro may offer you. Any quotes provided by Pro’s via the Snupit website or apps, or which you find on the Snupit or apps, are not contractually binding offers, are for informational purposes only, and cannot be accepted on or via Snupit. No contractual arrangement is created based upon the quotes provided to you from Pro’s (or your scheduling of an appointment with a Pro) via the Snupit platform. To contract with a Pro, you must work directly with the Pro. Snupit does not perform, and is not responsible for, any of the services requested by you in your quote request. Your rights under contracts you enter into with Pro’s are governed by the terms of such contracts and by applicable legal laws.
• 5
  Release from Damages or Claims. Should you have a dispute with any Pro, you must address such dispute with the Pro directly. You hereby agree to release Snupit (and our officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents) from any damages or claims (including consequential and incidental damages) of every kind or nature, suspected and unsuspected, known and unknown, and disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes and your dealings with service professionals (Pro’s).
• 6
  No Liability- Snupit shall bear no responsibility and have no liability whatsoever in respect of the provision of the services acquired by any customer or anyone. The customer agrees to indemnify Snupit against any claims made by any person against Snupit in respect of any loss or damage caused directly or indirectly by the acquisition of any services.

Information you provide to us

Upon using Snupit, you will be prompted to disclose certain information about yourself and your project requirements, and you will be able to store information, such as quote request records, on our website or apps. Some of this information will be sent to Pro’s who will need this information to respond to your request. By providing this information to us, or by submitting a quote request, you are requesting, and you expressly consent to being contacted by us and by our Pro’s and providers via phone, text message, fax, email, mail or other reasonable means, at any of your contact numbers or addresses, in order that we may provide the services set forth on our site, to service your account, to reasonably address matters pertaining to your account or for other purposes reasonably related to your service request and our business, including marketing related emails. For complete details on our use of your information, please see our privacy policy. You agree that by completing a quote request, you are entering into a business relationship with Snupit and its partners and thus agree to be contacted by Snupit and/or its partners. You promise that all information you provide (including but not limited to your contact information, and any Ratings and Reviews of Pro’s/Business’s that you provide) will be accurate, current and truthful to the best of your knowledge. If you provide any information that is untrue, not current or incomplete, or if Snupit has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Snupit has the right to refuse any current or future use of the Snupit services (or any portion thereof) by you. You are responsible for any use of the Snupit services by persons to whom you intentionally or negligently allow access to your password. To knowingly input false information, including but not limited to name, phone number, address or e-mail address is a very serious and fraudulent matter that could result in significant costs and damages including invasion of privacy rights, to Snupit and its Pro’s, as well as the loss of time, effort and expense responding to and pursuing such false information and request, and further, could result in fines and penalties. Accordingly, if you knowingly input false information in a quote request, including but not limited to someone else's name, e-mail address, physical address or phone number or a random or made up name, address, e-mail or phone number you agree to fully indemnify and be liable to Snupit and each Snupit Pro who accepts such quote requests for the actual damages that may arise from such intentional, misleading, harmful and fraudulent activity, plus reasonable legal fees.

Dispute resolution assistance

While we cannot guarantee the work performed by a listed Pro, and while we have no obligation to you with regard to your relationship with a Pro, the Snupit resolution process has been developed to try and assist you in resolving any disputes that may arise in the process of submitting a quote request on Snupit. We may, upon your request, provide limited assistance in resolving disputes between you and a Pro. You must participate and use good faith efforts to resolve problems through the Snupit resolution process. Such limited assistance in no way nullifies the release and indemnification described in these Terms & Conditions.
