This service is not available in all States and the service availability and scope are subject to change without notice.

This website is a market place. As such you should know that the owner has a monetary connection to the product & services advertised on the site. The owner receives payment whenever a qualified lead is referred, but that is the extent of it. The owner receives no further compensation of any kind should you choose to obtain services.

Companies and contractors connected to this website operate on a lead generation basis and are not affiliated with pestexterminators.co in any other way. All repairs, servicing and installations are to be handled by a third party contractor of your choosing. No money is paid from pestexterminators.co to contractors for repair, servicing or installation of your unit and no money is paid to pestexterminators.co on behalf of contractors for repair, servicing or installation of your unit. The customer is required to pay all repair, servicing or installation costs directly to the contractor it has chosen.

All of the information regarding the goods and services mentioned on this website is provided by the owner. The owner does not recommend or endorse any product or service advertised on this website. The owner does not endorse any particular company. Each partner has different qualifications. When contacting one of our partners, be sure to inquire about their individual qualifications.

Compensation


You should assume that we may be compensated for purchases of products or services mentioned on this website that are not created, owned, licensed, or otherwise materially controlled by us. Stated differently, while most people obviously understand that individuals make a living by way of the profit that remains after the costs associated with providing their product or service are covered, at least theoretically there may be someone out there who does not understand that a third party can “affiliate” someone else’s products or services and be compensated by the product or service creator/owner for helping spread the word about their offering. Just compare it to retailers. They seldom produce anything, but rather make their money connecting product and service creators with end users.


Phone Calls, Caller ID and Electronic Messages


When making a phone call to or through Pest Exterminators, I agree and acknowledge that Pest Exterminators may call my phone number for any purpose, including marketing purposes, using all methods now known and discovered in the future, including, but not limited to, auto-dialers, pre-recordings, and general telemarketing practices. I agree that these calls may be regarding the products and/or services that I have previously purchased and products and/or services that Pest Exterminators may market to me. I acknowledge that this consent may be removed at my request but that until such consent is revoked, I may receive calls from Pest Exterminators at my number.


Professional Consultation


Many products and services are designed to solve problems. Common problem areas include legal, financial, and medical. We are in no way purporting to counsel you on issues related law, finances, or health. If you require guidance in these arenas, you should consider securing your own counsel from lawyers, accountants, tax professionals, investment advisors, or medical professionals before taking any action. Nothing we may ever communicate, in print or spoken word, will ever be intended to constitute any such counsel, as we do not claim to be professionals in any of those disciplines. You assume all risk for actions taken, losses incurred, damages sustained, or other issues stemming from your use of any product or service in any way connected with or mentioned on this website. Indeed, such decision is solely your own, or else determined in conjunction with the professional guidance of the advisor of your choosing.
