As a convenience to you, we may provide links to third-party websites. Those websites and the parties that control them are beyond our control. We make no representations as to the content, quality, suitability, functionality, or legality of any sites to which we may provide links, and you hereby waive any claim you might have against us with respect to such sites and their operators.

Products Listed on BuildEffective Sites

BuildEffective provides a number of different services to assist you in comparing products. BuildEffective provides information regarding products, services and third-party merchants, and links to third-party merchants that are selling listed products. The manufacturer and product information and specifications that we provide are for your information only. Always verify the model and product information when requesting information; if more than one model number appears, it means that those models have the same dimensions and functional specifications, except as noted. Letters in model numbers do not necessarily define product color. Drawings and diagrams may not be to scale, so you should not rely on them. Some of the products listed may no longer be available. Some information provided may not be current, or may have changed since the last time you viewed or downloaded it. Always verify national and local codes. All specific questions about products and availability should be addressed to the manufacturer of the particular product.

 

The products listed on BuildEffective are sold by third-party merchants, not by BuildEffective. You acknowledge that BuildEffective does not sell, resell or license any products listed on BuildEffective, nor is BuildEffective acting as an agent of sale.

You acknowledge that BuildEffective disclaims any responsibility for or liability related to such products (see Disclaimer of Warranties below).

Trademarks

We do not want anyone to be confused about which materials and services are provided by us and which are not. You may not use any mark appearing on our sites without the prior written consent of the owner of the mark. BuildEffective is not in a position to arbitrate trademark disputes between the advertisers on BuildEffective and trademark owners. Accordingly, we encourage trademark owners to resolve their disputes directly with the advertisers, particularly because the advertisers may have similar advertisements on other sites. Similarly, BuildEffective does not control and assumes no responsibility for content that appears on a third party’s website that may be accessed via BuildEffective, and trademark owners should contact third-party sites directly to resolve trademark disputes.

 

As a courtesy to federally registered trademark owners, however, we are willing to perform a limited investigation of reasonable complaints.

 

If you are an owner of a registered trademark (or represent an owner of a registered trademark) and have an objection to content corresponding to your trademark on BuildEffective that is consistent with the foregoing, or if you believe that we have improperly used your registered trademark to promote BuildEffective on a third-party website, please provide the following information in a signed letter on company stationery:

 

  1. Name of Company
  2. Contact information (including email address)
  3. List of registered trademark(s) at issue including a copy of each relevant federal trademark registration certificate(s)
  4. The identity of the advertisement(s) at issue (via the URL stated on the bottom line of the ad or other identifying information). Please indicate if your complaint is limited to specific advertisers/advertisements or if it is a general objection to all advertisers.
  5. If certain affiliates or partners are permitted to use your trademark in their ad content, please list the company names in your letter.
  6. Include the following statement: “I have a good faith belief that use of the trademarks described above with the advertisements described above are not authorized by the trademark owner or its agent, nor is such use otherwise permissible under law.”

If prior to such removal, the third party demonstrates that it has its own trademark registration or approved trademark application covering the challenged content, BuildEffective will not remove the content.

If BuildEffective terminates your license to access the Services, your obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, your obligation to indemnify and hold BuildEffective harmless and your agreement that any claims you have against BuildEffective will be barred after one year from the date they accrue, will survive such termination.

 

You can cancel your account at any time by contacting Customer Support. We can cancel your account or otherwise refuse service to you at any time for any reason (including repeat infringement).
