PHIL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please read these Terms and Conditions (the "Agreement") carefully. Your access to or use of the Services (as defined below) constitutes your agreement to be bound by this Agreement.

This Agreement is between you and Get Phil Inc. (“Phil”, "we" or "us") concerning your access and/or use of our services, which may include websites, software applications, mobile sites and social media pages (collectively, the "Services."). The Services provide access to listings, which are sites that are available to receive or offer various soils, aggregates and other materials (“Listings”).

Acceptance of Agreement. By accessing or using the Services, or by installing, copying or downloading any software that comprises a Service (such as an application) or that is made available through any Service, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, do not use the Services. We may revise this Agreement from time to time in our sole discretion and provide you with notice of such change by any reasonable means, including by making available the revised version of this Agreement through the Services. You should periodically visit this page to review the then-current version of the Agreement. The "LAST UPDATED" legend at the top of this page indicates when this Agreement was last revised. Your continued access to or use of the Services following any changes will signify your acceptance of such changes and your agreement to be bound by them.

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to Phil’s privacy policy (which can be accessed at https://help.getphil.app/privacy-policy/).

NO WARRANTY: We provide a technological platform that seeks to provide more efficient and user-friendly way to exchange information about Listings. We do not undertake any due diligence on the persons using the Services or materials that are uploaded to or through the Services. We do not recommend Listings, and we do not provide advice. We do not provide any assurances that the soil, aggregates or other materials advertised in Listings are free of contaminants or otherwise comply with the requirements of applicable law or that the information contained in any soil or other compliance report uploaded to or available through the Services is accurate or error free. We do not provide forms of agreement or help negotiate or advise on appropriate agreements or terms for transactions. You must ensure you have your own professional advisors to review and assist you in making appropriate decisions. Users of the Services are entirely responsible for reviewing, considering, and making decisions on Content (as defined below) and information they see and receive through the Services. 

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY, AND EFFORT IS WITH YOU.

PHIL DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE SERVICES, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN OR SERVICES PERFORMED OR PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY PHIL OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Any attempt to do so is a violation of the rights of Phil and its licensors. If you breach this restriction, you may be subject to prosecution and damages. The terms of this Agreement will govern any upgrades provided by Phil that replace and/or supplement the original Services, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.
