Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using this Website in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Ottawa Abatement, a division of Justyn Rook Contracting, a sole proprietorship operated by Justyn Rook ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company").

IMPORTANT: Ottawa Abatement and Justyn Rook Contracting are sole proprietorships operated by Justyn Rook. All references to "the Company," "we," "us," or "our" include Justyn Rook as an individual. All liability protections, indemnification provisions, disclaimers, and limitations in these Terms apply equally to and protect Justyn Rook personally, in his individual capacity, and all personal assets.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Website.

2. Nature of Services and Content

2.1 Informational Purposes Only

ALL CONTENT ON THIS WEBSITE IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Nothing on this Website constitutes professional contracting advice. Always consult with qualified professionals for your specific situation.

2.2 No Professional-Client Relationship

Use of this Website does not create any professional-client, contractor-client, fiduciary, or advisory relationship between you and Ottawa Abatement or Justyn Rook Contracting.

2.3 Health and Safety Disclaimer

ASBESTOS, MOULD AND LEAD PAINT WORK INVOLVE HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. Information provided on this website or through Abatement IQ is not a substitute for testing, a professional assessment, or the advice of a qualified contractor. In Ontario, asbestos work on a construction project is classified as a Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 operation under O. Reg. 278/05; before a Type 3 operation the constructor or employer must notify a Ministry of Labour inspector, and every worker and supervisor on a Type 3 operation must have completed the approved asbestos abatement training program. We found no Ontario licence for an asbestos abatement or mould remediation company, and this website does not verify the training, coverage or credentials of any contractor. Health Canada advises against disturbing material that may contain asbestos and against removing vermiculite insulation yourself. Nothing on this website states whether any person may lawfully carry out such work; that is a question for the applicable legislation and a qualified professional.

2.4 Additional Materials, Testing and Insurance Disclaimer

MATERIALS, CONDITIONS AND INSURANCE COVERAGE ARE SPECIFIC TO EACH HOME AND POLICY. Whether a material contains asbestos or lead, the extent and cause of mould, the condition of insulation, access, municipal requirements and the wording of your home insurance policy vary significantly across properties in the Ottawa area. Information on this website about materials, testing, removal, disposal, costs and insurance is general and may not reflect your situation. Cost ranges are aggregated from published sources and are not quotes. Always obtain testing where appropriate, written quotes, and where applicable confirmation from your insurer before proceeding.

3. Abatement IQ (AI-Generated Content)

By using Abatement IQ or any AI features, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you use AI-generated content entirely at your own risk and will not rely on AI content for any decision without independent professional verification.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL OTTAWA ABATEMENT, JUSTYN ROOK CONTRACTING, JUSTYN ROOK (INDIVIDUALLY), OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS, INTERNS, SUPPLIERS, OR SUCCESSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.
