Terms of Service

Last updated: 08/17/2026


Summary

This is the plain language version. The full policy below governs.


  • Our estimates are planning figures, not quotes. Only a licensed contractor who has inspected your roof can tell you what your project will cost.
  • Nothing on this site is professional advice. Not construction, engineering, insurance, tax, legal, or financial advice.
  • The site is free to use. You must be 18 or older.
  • We are not a roofing contractor and we do not perform, arrange, supervise, or guarantee roofing work.
  • You use our cost information at your own risk, and our liability is limited.

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Sunbase Data ("we," "us," "our"), governing your access to and use of www.roofreplacementcost.ai and the roof cost estimator and content available on it (together, the "Service").


By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.


Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.


2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is intended for users located in the United States and for properties located in the United States. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available elsewhere.


3. What the Service is

The Service provides:

  • A free roof replacement cost estimator that produces an estimated cost range from information you enter
  • Editorial content about roofing costs, materials, insurance, and financing


The Service is provided free of charge. No account is required.


4.  What the Service is not, and the limits of our estimates

This section is the most important part of these Terms. Read it.

4.1 Estimates are not quotes

Cost figures produced by our estimator and published in our content are general planning estimates based on typical market conditions. They are not:

  • Quotes, bids, offers, or proposals
  • Binding in any way on us, on any contractor, or on any insurer
  • Guarantees that work can be obtained at the stated price
  • Appraisals, valuations, or professional cost estimates

An online tool cannot inspect your roof. It cannot see the condition of your decking, your attic ventilation, existing water damage, structural issues, local permit requirements, or the specific conditions that will determine your actual cost. Actual costs commonly differ, sometimes substantially, from any estimate shown on this Service.


The only reliable way to know what your project will cost is a written, itemised proposal from a licensed roofing contractor who has physically inspected your roof.


4.2 No professional advice

Content on the Service is general information. It is not construction, engineering, roofing, structural, insurance, claims, tax, legal, financial, or investment advice, and it does not create any professional relationship between you and us.

Do not rely on the Service in place of advice from a qualified professional. Specifically:

  • Insurance content describes how coverage commonly works. Your coverage is determined solely by your policy and your insurer. Consult your insurer, your policy documents, or a licensed public adjuster.
  • Tax content describes rules as we understand them at the time of writing. Tax rules change and depend on your circumstances. Consult a tax professional and confirm current IRS guidance.
  • Financing content describes categories of financing. It is not an offer of credit, a recommendation of any lender, or a representation that you will qualify for anything.
  • Structural and safety content is general. If you suspect structural damage or an active leak, engage a qualified professional promptly.


4.3 We are not a contractor and do not arrange work

We do not perform roofing work. We do not bid on projects, employ or subcontract roofers, supervise work, inspect completed work, or warrant any contractor's licensing, insurance, competence, conduct, pricing, or workmanship.


We do not currently refer you to contractors. If we introduce such a feature, it will be optional, disclosed, and governed by terms presented at that time. Any agreement you enter with a contractor is solely between you and that contractor. We are not a party to it and have no liability arising from it.


Always independently verify any contractor's license, insurance, and standing with your state or local licensing authority before engaging them.


5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, or use automated means to extract content or data, except as permitted by our robots.txt for legitimate search engine and research crawlers
  • Reproduce, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without permission
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or underlying models of the estimator
  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
  • Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure
  • Introduce malware, or attempt to circumvent security or access controls
  • Use the Service to compile a competing product, database, or commercial dataset
  • Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notice
  • Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation


We may investigate suspected violations and suspend or terminate access without notice.

7. Third party content and links

The Service links to third-party websites and references third-party products, manufacturers, standards bodies, insurers, and lenders. We provide these for information. We do not control them, do not endorse them by linking to them, and are not responsible for their content, products, services, or practices.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement.


Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

  • Cost estimates or content will be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your circumstances
  • Any estimate will correspond to prices actually available to you
  • The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
  • Defects will be corrected, or that the Service is free of harmful components

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunity, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Service, however caused and on any theory of liability, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Without limiting the above, we are not liable for:


  • Any difference between an estimate shown on the Service and the actual cost of your project
  • Decisions you make in reliance on our cost information, including budgeting, financing, insurance claim, or contractor selection decisions
  • The acts, omissions, pricing, workmanship, or conduct of any roofing contractor, lender, insurer, or other third party
  • Any outcome of an insurance claim
  • Damage to property or persons arising from roofing work


You acknowledge that the Service is provided free of charge, that these limitations are a fundamental basis of the bargain between us, and that we would not provide the Service without them.


Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.


10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sunbase Data and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party, or (d) any dispute between you and a contractor, lender, insurer, or other third party.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
