Terms and Conditions
Welcome to VAHeatingandAir.com ("VAHeatingandAir"). This User Agreement (the "Agreement"),
which includes the provisions set forth in VAHeatingandAir's Privacy Policy, describes the terms and conditions
applicable to your use of VAHeatingandAir.com, all branded version of such website and
the products, services and information available through these web sites,
electronic mail or telephone support line (collectively, the "Service"). Additionally,
VAHeatingandAir.com Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Watsco, Inc. (NYSE: WSO), the
nation's largest wholesale distributor of HVAC equipment, parts and supplies. As
such, products offered to consumers by servicing contractors, listed on the VAHeatingandAir.com
site, may be purchased through one or more Watsco subsidiaries nationally. Your
use of the Service, whether as a seller or buyer or otherwise, constitutes your
agreement to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement without modification.
If you do not agree to this Agreement, please do not use the Service.
1. Users and User Eligibility. By using the Service, the individual or entity becomes
a Service user (a "User"). The service is free for purchasers of services.
This Agreement is a legal agreement between VAHeatingandAir and the User. This Service
is only available to individuals and entities who can form legally binding contracts
under applicable law. The Services are not available to anyone under 18 years old.
If you do not qualify, please do not use the Service. Each User represents that all
information supplied by it is true and accurate. Without limitation any speculative,
false or fraudulent service requests or responses to requests are prohibited. VAHeatingandAir
may refuse its Service to anyone at any time or remove any service provider or buyer
from the Service at any time, in its sole discretion.
2. Service is Only a Venue. VAHeatingandAir has developed VAHeatingandAir.com and its Services to
serve as a venue for potential buyers and sellers of services and/or products (such
sellers being collectively referred to herein as service providers). Our role is
strictly limited to that of a venue provider. As such, we are not involved in dealings
you may have with service providers and have no control over: the propriety of the
transaction; the quality, safety or legality of the professional services sought,
provided or advertised (if any); the truth or accuracy of the information you may receive
from other service providers or users, even if the information is delivered through us or
our equipment; whether the service provider with whom you are dealing will be able to carry
out their obligations to you; or whether the transaction will actually be completed.
VAHeatingandAir is not your broker or agent, and is not a third-party beneficiary or guarantor of
performance with respect to any transaction or agreement that you may have with other users
or service providers. We recommend that you carefully review and consider the terms and
conditions of every transaction before obligating yourself and, where appropriate, seek and
obtain professional advice. No service provider will at any time represent that VAHeatingandAir endorses
a service provider or its services. Any disputes between a buyer and a service provider should be
handled by the service provider.
3. Links to Third-Party Web Sites. VAHeatingandAir and its Services may contain links to other web
sites, web pages, and services (collectively "Links"), which may or may not be operated by VAHeatingandAir.
Your use of these Links is subject to the Terms of Use, if any, contained within each Link. VAHeatingandAir
may or may not screen the content or the operator of any Links. VAHeatingandAir Links to such other sites
does not imply any endorsement of the products, services or material on such Links or any association
with their sponsors or operators. VAHeatingandAir expressly disclaims all content, services and products
available through such Links. Linking to any other service or site from this Service is at you own risk.

perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate
and distribute any content submitted by User (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other

provide the Service per requirement. You may not modify, copy, display, publish, distribute, transmit, transfer,
license or sell any products, services, or information obtained from the Service, except as permitted by the Terms
of Use or as permitted under applicable laws.
5. Release and Indemnification. In the event of any disputes between you and any other users or Service
Providers, you agree to release VAHeatingandAir and its employees and agents from all claims, demands, and actual and
consequential damages of every kind and nature, whether or not known, suspected or disclosed, arising out of or in
any way connected with such dispute. You agree and acknowledge that VAHeatingandAir and its employees and agents will
