5. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The information and Services provided by Mullins Heating and Air are offered with the goal of ensuring customer satisfaction and high-quality results. However, it is important to understand the scope and limitations of our warranties and liability.

General Disclaimer

Our Website and all Content, information, and materials included on it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible by law, Mullins Heating and Air disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we make no warranties or representations as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any Content.

Disclaimer of Warranties for Services

For our HVAC Services, specific warranties may apply to parts and labor as outlined in a separate Service Agreement, estimate, or invoice provided to you. These written warranties will supersede the general disclaimers in these Terms. Except for any express written warranties provided in a Service Agreement, we disclaim all other warranties for Services, express or implied. We do not guarantee that our services will resolve all issues with your HVAC system, particularly in cases involving pre-existing damage, obsolete equipment, or external factors beyond our control. Our recommendations are based on the professional judgment of our technicians at the time of service and the information available to them.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Mullins Heating and Air, its directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Website or Services. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses. This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage.

Our total liability to you for any and all claims arising from the use of our Website or Services is limited to the amount you paid us for the specific Service that gave rise to the claim. This limitation of liability is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between you and Mullins Heating and Air. The provisions of this section will survive any termination of these Terms or your relationship with us. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

6. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Mullins Heating and Air, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms and Conditions or your use of our Website and Services.

This indemnification obligation includes, but is not limited to, any claims arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Website’s Content, any actions you take that disrupt the Website or our Services, or your infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. You agree to cooperate fully with us in the defense of any such claim. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will still be required to provide indemnification for all associated costs and expenses.

7. Termination

This agreement is effective until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate this agreement at any time by ceasing all use of our Website and by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services.

Termination by Us

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your access to all or part of our Website and Services, with or without notice, for any reason, including, without limitation, a breach of these Terms and Conditions. Grounds for termination may include:

  • Engaging in any conduct that we, in our sole discretion, believe is in violation of any applicable law or is harmful to the interests of another user, a third-party provider, or us.
  • Failure to adhere to your obligations as a customer, such as providing a safe work environment for our technicians or fulfilling payment obligations.
  • Any instance of fraud, abuse, or other manipulative activity in connection with your use of our Website or Services.

Upon termination, your right to use the Website will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to our Website or Services.

8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which Mullins Heating and Air is primarily located, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms and Conditions or our Website and Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located within the jurisdiction of our primary place of business. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts. By agreeing to these Terms, you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue in these courts. This choice of jurisdiction does not prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any appropriate jurisdiction.

9. Changes to These Terms and Conditions

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms and Conditions at any time. The digital environment and legal requirements are subject to change, and we may need to update our terms to reflect new practices, technologies, or legal obligations.

When we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of the document. For material changes, we may provide a more prominent notice, such as by posting a notification on our Website’s homepage or by sending an email to the address we have on file for you. What constitutes a “material change” will be determined at our sole discretion.

Your continued use of our Website or Services after any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms and Conditions. It is your responsibility to review this page periodically to stay informed of any updates. If you do not agree to the new terms, you must stop using the Website and our Services. This mechanism ensures that our terms remain current while providing you with notice of our evolving policies.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions

Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, along with our Privacy Policy and any separate Service Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mullins Heating and Air concerning your use of our Website and Services. This agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and us.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The invalidity of one provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms.

No Waiver

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. A waiver by us of any term or condition in any instance shall not be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. Any waiver of our rights must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Mullins Heating and Air to be effective.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to a third party at our discretion, without notice to you, in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
