These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) explain the rules for using the website at https://basementrenovationsottawa.ca/ (the “Website”), presented under the name Basement Renovations Ottawa. In these Terms, “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the operator of this Website, which uses the name Basement Renovations Ottawa. The Website name is a public-facing name and is not, by itself, confirmation of a registered legal entity.
General Terms
By visiting the Website, browsing its content or using a contact form, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Website.
These Terms apply to the Website only. They do not replace a separate written agreement for an inspection, estimate, basement renovation, remodelling project or other work at a property. Any such work is governed by the relevant service agreement and applicable law.
Purpose of the Website
This Website helps homeowners in Ottawa, Ontario and the areas we serve learn about basement renovations, basement finishing and remodelling. Topics may include layouts, bathrooms, laundry areas, insulation, subfloors, flooring, entrances, egress windows, secondary dwellings, permits, typical project stages and factors that influence costs.
Visitors can explore these topics, ask questions or request an estimate or consultation. Website information is general guidance, not an inspection of your property, an approved building design, a diagnosis or advice tailored to your particular project.
Acceptable Use
Please use the Website lawfully and respectfully. You must not:
- Interfere with its operation or attempt to gain access to systems or accounts without authorization.
- Upload, transmit or distribute malware or other harmful code.
- Use contact forms to send spam, fraudulent requests, threats, harassment or deliberately misleading information.
- Copy, republish or commercially exploit protected content without the rights or permission required to do so.
- Collect Website data through automated means in a way that violates applicable law or our rights.
We may limit or block access when we reasonably identify misuse or a violation of these Terms, subject to applicable law.
Service Information
Descriptions of construction methods, materials, building assemblies, equipment and services are intended to help you understand your options. They are not fixed specifications for every basement.
Appropriate work depends on the age and condition of a property, moisture or structural concerns, the intended use of the space, the agreed scope, safety considerations and current requirements. An online explanation cannot take the place of an on-site assessment or advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
Prices, Estimates and Quotes
Any price range, sample budget, online calculator result, timeline or third-party price shown on the Website is provided for planning purposes unless a specific offer clearly states otherwise. Prices published by other contractors are not our own fixed prices or a quote for your project.
Your actual cost and schedule may depend on the area being renovated, existing conditions, the design, selected materials, plumbing and electrical work, site access, permits, inspections, taxes, and changes requested after the scope is agreed.
Before work begins, the applicable written documents should explain what is included, what is excluded, applicable allowances, payment stages, expected timing and how changes will be approved. Contacting us or requesting an estimate does not create a service contract, require us to accept a project or guarantee a particular price.
Nothing in these Terms overrides a binding written agreement or any consumer protection regarding estimates, price changes or other charges that applies under Ontario law.
Inquiries and Contact Forms
You can contact us through the Website’s inquiry forms, by email at contact form, or using the verified telephone number displayed on the site. Please provide accurate contact details and a clear description of the work you are considering so we can respond appropriately.
Sending an inquiry does not guarantee an immediate reply, an appointment, the availability of a contractor or acceptance of your project. Information sent through a form is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy law.
A request for information or an estimate does not, by itself, give us permission to send promotional emails or text messages. Any marketing communications must meet applicable consent and other legal requirements.
Services and Separate Agreements
If the Company agrees to carry out work under a separate service agreement, it remains responsible for the obligations it accepts under that agreement and applicable law. This includes the agreed scope, the quality of its own work and any written warranties or service commitments it provides.
Where a project involves specialist trades or other contractors, their roles and responsibilities should be explained in the relevant project documents. Their involvement does not remove any obligation or liability that the Company cannot lawfully exclude.
The service agreement and any approved change orders govern the work, price, schedule, warranty and other project-specific conditions. These Website Terms do not replace those documents or release the Company from responsibility for its own misleading statements, wrongful acts, failures to meet agreed obligations or other liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.
Accuracy and Updates
We aim to keep Website content useful and reasonably current. Even so, information may occasionally be incomplete, contain errors or become outdated as products, regulations, practices and service details change. We may update the Website when needed.
Photographs, renderings and drawings may be used to illustrate a design or explain a construction detail. An image should not be taken as proof that the Company completed a particular project unless it is clearly and accurately presented as the Company’s own work.
Safety and Emergencies
Basement work can involve water intrusion, mould, structural conditions, electricity, plumbing, heating and ventilation, and other safety concerns. General Website information is not a substitute for advice or work from a properly qualified specialist when health, safety or property could be at risk.
The Website is not an emergency service. If you face an immediate threat to people or property, contact the appropriate emergency services or utility provider.
Intellectual Property
Website text, photographs, illustrations, logos, trademarks, page layouts, diagrams and other materials may be protected by copyright, trademark or related laws. Rights belong to the Company or other applicable rights holders.
You may not reproduce, redistribute, republish or commercially use protected materials without the necessary permission, except where the law allows it. Access to the Website does not transfer ownership of those rights.
Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may link to independent resources, including maps, manufacturers, public agencies, technical references or other websites. Those services are managed by their own operators and have their own terms and privacy practices.
We do not control their content, availability, security or policies. A link is supplied for convenience or context; it does not automatically mean we endorse the third party or accept responsibility for its conduct. This does not limit any responsibility that applicable law places on us.
Website Availability
We take reasonable steps to keep the Website working, but uninterrupted access and error-free performance cannot be guaranteed.
Pages or features may be temporarily unavailable because of maintenance, upgrades, internet outages, technical problems or other circumstances. We may modify, suspend or remove features when reasonably necessary.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is not responsible for losses arising directly from temporary Website downtime, technical failures, interruptions, reliance on general Website content without an appropriate project-specific assessment, or failures of independently operated third-party resources.
This limitation concerns use of the Website. It does not replace or reduce the Company’s obligations under a separate service agreement, nor does it exclude liability for misleading representations, negligence, unlawful conduct or anything else that cannot legally be excluded. Mandatory consumer rights and remedies remain in effect.
Privacy and Personal Information
Our separate Privacy Policy explains what personal information is collected through the Website, why we collect it and how it may be used, stored, shared and protected. The policy is available at https://basementrenovationsottawa.ca/privacy-policy/
Contact forms and other features involving personal information must operate in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable Canadian privacy and consent requirements.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms as the Website or applicable requirements change. The current version, together with its effective or last-updated date, will be posted on the Website.
Where the law requires additional notice or consent, we will follow those requirements. Updating these Terms does not retroactively cancel rights or change obligations under a separate service agreement except where applicable law allows it.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada. Matters arising from use of the Website will be addressed in accordance with the law that applies.
Nothing in these Terms prevents you from exercising mandatory consumer rights, seeking a remedy provided by law or using a court, tribunal or other forum where access is protected by law.
If a provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
Contact Information
For questions about the Website or these Terms, please use our contact form or email us at contact form. If a verified business telephone number is published on the Website, you may also contact us by phone.
