# Terms of Use

The rules for using this site. Plain language first; the binding version will follow.

Draft

Draft, to be reviewed before launch.

## The short version

Local Scores and rankings are calculated from public data using our published formula. They are information to help you choose, not a guarantee of any business's work. Check licenses, insurance and written quotes before you hire. Sponsored content, if any, is always labelled and never part of a ranking. Quote requests go only to the businesses you select.
