Terms and Conditions

1. Use of This Website

You may use this website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

• Use the site in any way that violates applicable local, state, or federal law
• Scrape, copy, or harvest content from this site without our prior written consent
• Introduce malware, viruses, or other harmful material into our systems
• Impersonate DFY Murrieta Masonry or any of our personnel in communications or submissions
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through our contact forms

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to this website at our discretion without notice.

2. Accuracy of Information

We make every effort to ensure the information on this website is accurate and current. However, we make no warranties - express or implied - about the completeness, accuracy, or suitability of any information presented. Service descriptions, pricing information, and timelines provided on this website are for general guidance only. Final scope, cost, and schedule for any masonry project will be established in a written estimate or contract signed by both parties.

3. Estimates and Service Agreements

Submitting a contact form, requesting an estimate, or calling our office does not create a binding agreement. An agreement to perform masonry services is only established when:

• We have conducted an on-site evaluation of your project
• We have provided you with a written estimate
• You have accepted the written estimate in writing

All estimates are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. After 30 days, material costs and labor availability may change, and we may issue a revised estimate upon request.

4. Payment Terms

Payment terms are specified in each written service agreement. Under California law (B&P Code § 7159), we are required to provide a written home improvement contract for projects over $500. We comply with all applicable California contractor billing and payment disclosure requirements. We do not require payment in full before work begins. A deposit schedule will be detailed in your written contract. We do not accept payment via wire transfer or cryptocurrency for residential work.

5. Licensing and Insurance

DFY Murrieta Masonry holds a valid California C-29 Masonry Contractor License issued by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB). We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Upon request, we can provide certificate of insurance documentation for any project. Verifying our license status is always available through the CSLB public license lookup at cslb.ca.gov.

6. Permits and Approvals

For projects that require building permits, we will notify you during the estimate phase. Permit fees are not included in our standard estimates unless explicitly stated. Homeowners are responsible for any HOA approvals required before work begins. We can provide drawings, scope descriptions, or other documentation necessary for your permit or HOA application upon request. Work will not begin until all required approvals are in place.

7. Cancellation and Modifications

Either party may cancel a project before work begins, subject to the cancellation terms in the written contract. If you request changes to the scope of work after a contract has been signed, we will provide a written change order documenting any adjustments to cost and timeline. Work affected by change orders will not proceed until both parties have signed the change order in writing.

8. Workmanship and Warranty

We stand behind our workmanship. Warranty terms - including duration and covered conditions - will be specified in your written service contract. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. It does not cover damage caused by acts of nature, soil movement beyond normal seasonal variation, modifications made by others, or lack of maintenance. Manufacturer warranties on materials (such as waterproofing products or block units) are separate and governed by those manufacturer's terms.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by California law, DFY Murrieta Masonry's liability to you for any claim arising from our services is limited to the total amount paid to us for the specific work that gives rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

10. Intellectual Property

All content on this website - including text, images, logos, and design - is the property of DFY Murrieta Masonry or its content suppliers and is protected by copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any content on this site without our prior written consent. Links to our website from other sites are permitted provided the link does not suggest any endorsement or partnership that does not exist.

11. Third-Party Links

Our website may link to third-party websites for reference (e.g., city permit portals, the CSLB license lookup). We are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites and do not endorse them. Visiting third-party sites is at your own risk.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute arising from your use of this website or our services shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Riverside County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing in these terms prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions at any time. Changes take effect when posted to this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
