Terms of Service & Liability Disclaimer.

Florida Tree Pro (operating at floridatree.pro, the “Service”) is a referral network that connects Southwest Florida property owners with independent, vetted tree-service vendors (each, a “Vendor”).

We do not perform tree work ourselves. We help you find a qualified Vendor, facilitate the introduction, and receive a referral fee from the Vendor for completed jobs.

Every Vendor in our network operates as an independent contractor. Vendors are not employees, agents, partners, or subcontractors of Florida Tree Pro. Each Vendor maintains its own business, equipment, crew, insurance, licensing, and permitting.

Any agreement for tree-service work — including the scope, schedule, pricing, payment terms, warranties, and any subsequent dispute — is formed directly between you and the Vendor. Florida Tree Pro is not a party to that agreement.

When you book a job through us, you are entering into a contract with the Vendor we refer, not with Florida Tree Pro.

We may, at our discretion and as a convenience, facilitate payment between you and the Vendor (for example, by collecting a deposit or processing a transaction). Any such facilitation does not make Florida Tree Pro a party to the underlying service contract. The transaction remains between you and the Vendor.

Vendors carry their own insurance, including general liability and (where applicable) workers' compensation. Florida Tree Pro does not provide, underwrite, or assume any responsibility for the Vendor's insurance coverage, policy limits, or claim outcomes.

You may request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) directly from the Vendor before work begins. Verify carrier and policy details with the carrier independently.

Tree work in Florida may require local permits (e.g., for heritage live oaks, mangroves under the Florida Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act, or other protected species) and compliance with municipal ordinances and HOA covenants.

The Vendor is responsible for obtaining all required permits, maintaining all applicable licenses, and complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the work. Florida Tree Pro does not warrant or verify any Vendor's permits, licenses, or compliance status.

FLORIDA TREE PRO MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING ANY VENDOR OR THE WORK PERFORMED. All referrals and Vendor services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.”

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Florida Tree Pro disclaims all warranties, including without limitation any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, workmanship, quality, timeliness, completeness, safety, or results.

Florida Tree Pro disclaims all liability for any act, omission, error, delay, damage, injury, loss, or non-performance by any Vendor. This includes — but is not limited to — property damage, personal injury, incomplete or defective work, missed deadlines, scheduling conflicts, billing disputes, permit violations, environmental issues, or third-party claims arising from the Vendor's work.

Your sole recourse for any issue with a Vendor's work, conduct, or representations is directly with that Vendor or through their insurance carrier.

You release, waive, and forever discharge Florida Tree Pro, its owners, officers, employees, affiliates, and agents from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to any Vendor's services, conduct, or work product.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Florida Tree Pro from any third-party claim, demand, or proceeding arising out of or related to the Vendor's services or your use of the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, Florida Tree Pro's total cumulative liability arising out of or related to the Service or any referral shall not exceed the amount of the referral fee Florida Tree Pro actually received for the specific transaction giving rise to the claim.

In no event shall Florida Tree Pro be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

We help enable tree work; we do not perform it. We make no guarantees regarding the timeliness, quality, cost, completeness, safety, or outcome of any Vendor's work. Reviews, photos, ratings, and testimonials shown on the Service reflect past customer experiences and are not a guarantee of future Vendor performance.

You agree that you will:

• Verify the Vendor's license, insurance, and references to your own satisfaction before work begins.
• Read and understand the Vendor's written estimate before authorizing work.
• Communicate hazards, restrictions, HOA rules, and other site-specific concerns directly to the Vendor.
• Pay the Vendor according to the terms of your agreement with them.
• Raise any concerns about the work directly with the Vendor in the first instance.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always posted at this URL with the “Last Updated” date shown above. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Sarasota County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be construed to most closely reflect the original intent of the parties within the limits of applicable law.
