Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using eihtfold.us, contacting Eihtfold, requesting services, or entering into any agreement with us.
These Terms are between you and Eihtfold (“Eihtfold,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing our website, submitting a form, requesting a consultation, communicating with us, or using our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our website or services.
1. About Eihtfold
Eihtfold provides construction-related services, including residential and commercial contracting, remodels, ADUs, system upgrades, consultations, estimates, and related services. Information on our website is provided for general informational and marketing purposes. Specific services, pricing, timelines, warranties, and responsibilities may be governed by a separate written estimate, proposal, work order, contract, or other agreement between you and Eihtfold.
If there is a conflict between these Terms and a signed written construction agreement, the signed written agreement will control for the specific project covered by that agreement.
2. Eligibility
You may use our website and services only if you are legally able to enter into a binding agreement. If you use our website or services on behalf of a company, property owner, HOA, landlord, partnership, trust, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity.
3. Website Use
You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes. You may not interfere with the operation or security of the website, attempt unauthorized access, use automated tools to scrape or harvest content, submit false or harmful information, upload malware, use the website to harass or defraud others, or copy or reuse our branding, designs, images, text, or materials without permission.
We may restrict or block access to the website if we believe these Terms have been violated.
4. Estimates, Consultations, and Project Information
Any estimate, quote, budget range, timeline, design concept, or project discussion provided through the website, by phone, by email, or during an initial consultation is preliminary unless stated otherwise in a signed written agreement. Final pricing and schedules may depend on site conditions, material availability, labor availability, permit requirements, engineering or design requirements, change orders, inspection results, hidden conditions, client selections, weather, and applicable laws, codes, and regulations.
Submitting a request through the website does not guarantee that Eihtfold will accept your project.
5. Construction Agreements
Construction services may require a separate written agreement. That agreement may include the scope of work, project schedule, payment terms, materials, permits, change orders, insurance, warranty terms, cancellation rights, dispute resolution, and other project-specific obligations. You should carefully review any written agreement before signing.
6. Client Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and timely information related to your project. Depending on the project, you may be responsible for confirming property ownership or authorization, providing access to the property, securing HOA or landlord approvals, disclosing known defects or hazards, making timely decisions and selections, paying invoices when due, keeping work areas clear and safe, and complying with applicable laws and agreements.
7. Payments
Payment terms for construction services will be set forth in the applicable estimate, invoice, proposal, or written agreement. Unless otherwise stated in writing, payments are due according to the payment schedule provided, late payments may delay work, unpaid balances may result in suspension of services, deposits or progress payments may be required, and client-requested changes may result in additional charges. Eihtfold reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable law for unpaid amounts.
8. Change Orders
Changes to the agreed scope of work may require a written change order. Change orders may affect price, schedule, materials, labor, permit requirements, and completion dates. Eihtfold is not obligated to perform work outside the agreed scope unless both parties approve the change in writing or as otherwise permitted by law.
9. Permits, Codes, and Inspections
Where required, construction work may be subject to permits, inspections, building codes, zoning rules, utility requirements, and other regulations. Unless otherwise stated in a written agreement, responsibility for permits and approvals will be addressed in the project documents. Eihtfold may decline or stop work if requested work would violate applicable law, code, safety standards, license requirements, or professional judgment.
10. Photos, Media, and Project Documentation
Eihtfold may document projects for internal records, quality control, compliance, marketing, or portfolio purposes. We will not intentionally disclose private personal information, sensitive property information, or confidential project details without permission, except as needed to perform services or comply with law. If you do not want your project photographed or used in marketing materials, notify us in writing before work begins.

16. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Eihtfold and its owners, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of the website or services. For website-related claims, Eihtfold’s total liability will not exceed $100 or the amount you paid directly to Eihtfold for the specific service giving rise to the claim, whichever is greater. This section does not limit liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
17. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Eihtfold and its owners, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, and service providers from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to your use of the website, violation of these Terms, information you submit, violation of any law or third-party right, project-related instructions or omissions, or failure to obtain required permissions from property owners, HOAs, landlords, tenants, or other parties.
18. Dispute Resolution
Before filing a claim, you agree to contact Eihtfold and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Unless a separate signed agreement states otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the website, or services will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
19. California Contractor Notices
Eihtfold operates as a California contractor. Construction work in California may be subject to specific consumer protection laws, contract requirements, licensing rules, lien laws, cancellation rights, and notices. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit or waive rights you may have under applicable California contractor, consumer protection, licensing, or home improvement laws. For project-specific rights and obligations, review your written agreement and any required California contractor notices.
20. Suspension or Refusal of Service
Eihtfold may refuse, suspend, or terminate website access, communications, consultations, or services where permitted by law, including where a user violates these Terms, payment is overdue, safety concerns arise, requested work is unlawful or unsafe, required approvals are missing, the working relationship becomes abusive or impractical, or continuing services would create legal, financial, or operational risk.
21. Force Majeure
Eihtfold will not be liable for delays or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including weather, fire, flood, earthquake, utility outages, labor shortages, material shortages, supply chain delays, acts of God, government orders, permit or inspection delays, war, terrorism, civil unrest, emergencies, illness, accidents, or safety conditions.
22. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we update them, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of our website or services after updated Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
23. General Terms
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision does not waive our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. Eihtfold may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, reorganization, or other business transaction.
24. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable written agreement, make up the entire agreement between you and Eihtfold regarding your use of the website. For construction projects, a signed project agreement, proposal, invoice, or change order may include additional terms.
