Terms and Conditions

Z&H LawnCare & Construction LLC · zhillinoisconstruction.com

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website operated by Z&H LawnCare & Construction LLC ("Z&H," "Company," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing, browsing, submitting information through, or otherwise using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should discontinue use of the website.

These Terms govern use of the website only unless a written agreement expressly incorporates them. Actual landscaping, lawn care, construction, concrete, hardscaping, tree-related, remodeling, maintenance, or other services may be subject to a separate written estimate, proposal, work order, service agreement, or contract.

2. Website Purpose

This website provides general information regarding Z&H LawnCare & Construction LLC and the types of services the Company may offer.

Website content is provided for general informational and marketing purposes and does not constitute a binding offer, contract, professional engineering opinion, architectural opinion, legal advice, or guarantee that a particular service can be performed at a particular property.

Service availability may vary according to location, project requirements, scheduling, weather, personnel, materials, equipment, permits, site conditions, and other circumstances.

3. Services

The website may reference services including landscaping, lawn care, hardscaping, concrete work, construction, tree removal or related tree services, and residential or commercial remodeling.

A reference to a service does not guarantee that the service is currently available, appropriate for a particular property, or available in every geographic location. Specific project scope and obligations should be established through a separate written agreement.

4. Estimates, Quotes, and Website Requests

Submitting a request through this website, by telephone, WhatsApp, email, social media, or another communication channel does not create a contract and does not obligate Z&H to perform any work.

An appointment, site visit, conversation, preliminary price range, online inquiry, or preliminary estimate likewise does not create a binding agreement unless the parties subsequently enter into an applicable written agreement. Prices discussed before inspection or complete project evaluation may be preliminary.

Any binding price, payment schedule, expiration period, scope, warranty, or other project-specific condition should be stated in the applicable written agreement.

  • actual dimensions and quantities;
  • labor, material, equipment, access, excavation, disposal, soil and drainage requirements;
  • underground or concealed conditions;
  • weather and permit requirements;
  • customer-requested changes, supplier pricing or subcontractor requirements;
  • conditions discovered after work begins; and
  • other circumstances that could not reasonably be evaluated beforehand.

5. No Guarantee of Acceptance

Z&H reserves the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to accept or decline requests for estimates or services based on scheduling, location, project requirements, availability, safety concerns, business capacity, or other legitimate considerations.

Submission of a request does not guarantee that the Company will contact the requester, visit the property, provide an estimate, or accept the project.

6. Project Conditions and Hidden Conditions

Construction, landscaping, excavation, concrete, hardscaping, remodeling, tree work, and similar projects may involve conditions that are not visible during an initial inspection.

These may include underground utilities, roots, buried materials, unsuitable soil, drainage problems, deterioration, structural conditions, hidden water damage, mold or pest conditions, prior improper work, inaccessible areas, concealed electrical or plumbing components, or other unknown circumstances.

Discovery of such conditions may require changes to scope, scheduling, materials, methods, or pricing. Any additional work should be addressed in accordance with the applicable project agreement and applicable law.

7. Existing Property Conditions

Customers should disclose known conditions that may reasonably affect the requested work.

Unless expressly documented otherwise, photographs, website communications, estimates, and project discussions should not be interpreted as confirmation that all existing conditions have been identified.

Z&H is not responsible for representing preexisting damage or deterioration as having been caused by Z&H merely because it becomes visible during or after work. Project-specific responsibility for property damage must be determined by the applicable agreement and applicable law.

8. Weather and Outdoor Conditions

Outdoor work is inherently affected by weather and site conditions. Rain, snow, ice, extreme temperatures, frozen or saturated ground, wind, storms, excessive moisture, drought, and unsafe conditions may delay, interrupt, reschedule, or alter work.

Weather-related schedules displayed or discussed with customers should generally be treated as estimates unless expressly guaranteed in a written contract.

9. Materials and Suppliers

Materials may vary in availability, manufacturer, lot, texture, grain, pattern, shade, finish, or natural appearance. Natural products, concrete, stone, wood, soil, plants, pavers, and similar materials may contain normal variations.

Supplier shortages, discontinued products, transportation problems, manufacturing delays, price changes, or circumstances outside the Company’s reasonable control may affect a project. Any material substitutions requiring customer approval should be handled under the applicable project agreement.

10. Permits, Codes, Utilities, and Approvals

Permit, inspection, utility-location, homeowners’ association, zoning, or other approval requirements depend on the project and jurisdiction.

Nothing on this website represents that a particular project does or does not require a permit or approval. Responsibility for obtaining or paying for permits, inspections, surveys, engineering, utility location, or approvals should be expressly identified in the project agreement where applicable.

11. Customer Decisions and Changes

Customers are responsible for reviewing project selections, specifications, colors, layouts, materials, and other decisions presented for their approval.

Changes requested after approval or after work has begun may affect pricing and completion schedules. The effect of change orders or additional work should be governed by the applicable written project agreement.

12. Third Parties

Z&H cannot control work performed independently by property owners, other contractors, utility providers, suppliers, inspectors, governmental authorities, neighbors, or other third parties.

The Company is not responsible for third-party conduct except to the extent responsibility is imposed on Z&H by applicable law or expressly assumed under a written agreement.

13. Project Photographs and Videos

Z&H may photograph or record projects for legitimate business purposes, including documentation, quality control, portfolio presentation, marketing, and before-and-after comparisons, subject to applicable law and any required permissions.

Where customer permission is legally or contractually required, the Company should obtain such permission before using identifiable private-property images for promotional purposes. Z&H should make reasonable efforts not to intentionally publish sensitive personal information visible in project photographs.

Specific photo permissions may also be established through a separate project agreement or release.

14. Reviews and User-Submitted Content

Users may be permitted to submit reviews, comments, photographs, testimonials, or other content. By submitting content, the user represents that the submission reflects a genuine experience or information the user has a lawful right to provide.

Users may not knowingly submit false, fraudulent, defamatory, threatening, discriminatory, obscene, unlawful, infringing, misleading, or impersonating content. Z&H does not purchase or knowingly fabricate positive reviews.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Z&H may moderate submitted content and may approve, reject, remove, or decline to publish submissions. The Company may make minimal edits for spelling, formatting, length, or clarity where doing so does not materially alter the reviewer’s expressed opinion.

By voluntarily submitting content for publication, the submitter grants Z&H a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to reproduce, display, format, and publish the submitted content for legitimate business and promotional purposes, subject to applicable law. Additional provisions are contained in the Review and User-Generated Content Policy.

15. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, website text, graphics, branding, logos, layouts, original photographs, videos, and other Company-created materials are owned by or lawfully used by Z&H and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Users may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, modify, scrape, or commercially exploit protected website content without appropriate authorization. Third-party trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

16. External Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, maps, social networks, suppliers, messaging services, or other external resources.

Z&H does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, security, availability, privacy practices, terms, accuracy, or actions. Access to third-party services is at the user’s discretion and subject to the third party’s own terms and policies.

17. Website Accuracy and Availability

Z&H attempts to maintain useful and reasonably accurate website information but does not warrant that all website content will always be complete, current, error-free, uninterrupted, or available.

Website photographs may illustrate examples of previous work or types of services and do not guarantee identical results for another property. The Company may modify, suspend, remove, or update website content without prior notice.

18. Communications

Users may contact Z&H through communication methods made available by the Company, which may include website forms, telephone, email, WhatsApp, or other channels.

Submitting contact information authorizes Z&H to use the information reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry and communicate regarding the requested service. Submission of an inquiry does not constitute consent to receive marketing communications where separate consent is required by law.

Users should not transmit sensitive financial, medical, identity, or other confidential information through ordinary website forms or messaging services unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure method.

19. No Professional Reliance

General information presented on the website should not be relied upon as engineering, architectural, structural, environmental, legal, financial, or other regulated professional advice.

A property’s actual requirements may depend on an on-site evaluation and, where necessary, appropriately licensed professionals or governmental authorities.

20. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE AND ITS GENERAL INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

Z&H DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES REGARDING THE WEBSITE EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH WARRANTIES CANNOT LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED. Nothing in this section is intended to eliminate warranties, rights, remedies, or obligations that cannot legally be waived under Illinois or federal law.

21. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Z&H SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING SOLELY FROM USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THIS WEBSITE.

This limitation is not intended to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Liability arising from actual contracted services is governed by the applicable service agreement and applicable law rather than solely by these website Terms.

22. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, a user agrees to indemnify and hold Z&H harmless from claims, losses, or expenses arising from the user’s unlawful misuse of the website, violation of these Terms, infringement of third-party rights, or knowingly false or unlawful content submitted by the user.

This provision does not require a user to indemnify Z&H for liability that applicable law prohibits shifting to the user.

23. Governing Law

These Terms shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where federal law or another mandatory law applies.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive a consumer of rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.

24. Changes to Terms

Z&H may revise these Terms from time to time. The revised version may be posted on the website with an updated “Last Updated” date. Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a particular change, the Company should provide it.

25. Severability

If a provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions should remain effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

26. No Waiver

Failure by Z&H to enforce a provision of these Terms does not necessarily constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.
