Terms of use — the tree care apps

In short: these are estimates and general information, not quotes, appraisals, inspections or legal advice. A figure here can be higher or lower than this company or anyone else would charge for the same tree, and the only price that binds anybody is a written one after a walk-through.

1. These tools produce general information and indicative estimates. They are not a quote, a bid, an offer, a contract, an appraisal, an inspection, an engineering opinion or legal advice, and nothing you do here obliges anyone — including you — to buy, sell or perform anything.
2. Every figure is a range, built from the method printed beside it and from rate bands and distances set for coastal San Luis Obispo County on the date shown on the page. A real price can be higher or lower than this range, and higher or lower than any other contractor would charge, including Cambria Pines Tree Service Inc.
3. The only price that binds anyone is a written proposal after a site visit, and the only person it binds is the one who signed it. Treat every number on these pages as a starting point for a conversation, never as a commitment from anybody.
4. The real condition of a tree, a site, a parcel or a structure cannot be established from a browser. Decay inside a trunk or a root plate, soil and drainage, hidden utilities, access and crane reach, permits, protected species, boundaries and the fire authority's own requirements are all confirmed on site or not at all.
5. These tools cover as many situations as they can, and they will still be wrong sometimes. Where an answer does not match what you can see in front of you, that is a limit of the tool rather than a promise about your tree, your parcel or your price. Neither the tools nor Cambria Pines Tree Service Inc. can warrant that any figure fits your circumstances.
6. Do not rely on any answer here for a decision that carries risk to people or property — safety, a power line, a structure, a vehicle, a legal, insurance, tax or boundary matter, a transaction, or the value of a property. Those decisions belong to a qualified professional, and where the stakes are real, to your own adviser.
7. Property and land value figures are general market context drawn from how coastal California buyers and appraisers behave. They are not an appraisal and not an opinion of value. Lenders, insurers, appraisers, agents and the tax authority each use their own methods, and none of them is bound by anything on these pages.
8. Timber figures describe what wood of that species and size has been worth locally. They are not an offer for your wood. A mill, a logger or a buyer decides what they will accept and at what price, and a tree in a yard is often unsaleable at any price.
9. Nothing here authorises anyone to climb, cut, rig, lift, burn or work on a tree, or near a conductor. That work belongs to a qualified, insured professional, and the safety tools say so in the plainest words they have.
10. Every calculator runs inside your own browser. Nothing you type, select or acknowledge is uploaded, stored, sold or shared, and the answer you see is arithmetic on the inputs you gave and the published figures and guidance the tool names. Reload the page and it starts again from nothing.
11. Prices, code requirements, fire guidance and market conditions change. Rate bands, distances and factors are set as of the date shown on the page, and the assumptions behind every figure are printed next to it so you can judge whether they still hold.
12. By continuing to use these tools, or by relying on any answer they give, you accept these terms, accept that you use them at your own risk, and release and hold harmless Cambria Pines Tree Service Inc. and its owners and staff from any claim, loss, cost, damage or expectation arising out of that use or reliance. Nothing in this notice limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be limited, and nothing here is legal advice.
13. The way to get a figure that does bind is a free walk-through and a written price — and the reason these tools are built to be as accurate and as useful as their method allows is that a reader who understands a tree asks better questions. Use them freely, then call.
