Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

1. Service Scope & Statutory Data Sources

HabitatReport aggregates and synthesises open public government datasets to compute comparative macro-environmental health and due diligence screening scores. In the United Kingdom, sources include the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), Environment Agency, British Geological Survey, UK Radon Atlas, and Police.uk. In the United States, sources include the US Environmental Protection Agency Safe Drinking Water Information System (US EPA SDWIS), US Geological Survey (USGS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting (FBI UCR), and the European Union Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS via Open-Meteo). Reports reflect historical municipal utility filings, statutory compliance monitoring, and regional environmental baselines.

2. Digital Purchases & Statutory Cancellation Waiver

Complete Peace of Mind Due Diligence Audits and property reports are delivered electronically as on-demand, customized digital PDF documents. All payments are billed once via our authorized Merchant of Record, Lemon Squeezy. Under the UK Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and EU Consumer Rights Directive, you expressly consent to the immediate supply and generation of this bespoke digital content upon purchase, and you acknowledge that your statutory right to cancel or 14-day cooling-off period is waived once automated generation and delivery of the report has commenced.

3. Desk-Based Screening vs Physical On-Site Inspection

HabitatReport is an automated desk-based macro-environmental diligence tool. All ratings, hazard matrices, and risk profiles represent area-level baseline screening estimates derived from published public records. Actual indoor conditions of individual properties may vary significantly depending on internal plumbing retrofits (e.g., replacement of lead communication lines with modern MDPE/copper/PEX), localized point-of-use filtration, ventilation design, structural maintenance, or private water extraction. HabitatReport does not provide structural engineering warranties, licensed home inspection certifications (ASHI/NACHI), Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) condition surveys, environmental Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs), or clinical toxicological advice.

4. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall HabitatReport, its developers, operators, or affiliates be liable for property purchase decisions, rental agreements, transaction cancellations, mortgage valuations, or latent physical defects. Users explicitly agree to instruct licensed surveyors, qualified conveyancers, and certified laboratories for physical on-site inspection and sample verification.

5. No Legal or Conveyancing Advice (Unauthorized Practice of Law Disclaimer)

HabitatReport provides automated informational screening and analytical summaries. It does not provide legal advice, conveyancing counsel, title insurance, or formal surveyor sign-off. Any draft talking points, sample enquiry letters, or price negotiation templates provided within reports or guides are non-binding informational prompts provided strictly for review and adoption by your licensed solicitor, conveyancer, or real estate attorney.

6. Remediation Benchmarks & Negotiation Schedules

Any estimated remediation allowances, contractor cost ranges, or price adjustment benchmarks displayed in reports, checklists, or on the website are indicative macroeconomic estimates based on average published hardware and trade labor rates. HabitatReport makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any vendor, seller, landlord, or developer will agree to price reductions, repair credits, or contract amendments.

7. Affiliate & Commercial Relationships (FTC & UK CMA Disclosure)

HabitatReport operates with complete editorial independence. Products, filtration hardware, and laboratory test kits featured in our remediation directories and research guides are selected strictly based on published statutory certification standards (e.g., NSF/ANSI 53/58, UKAS ISO 17025, US EPA). Some links may be qualifying affiliate links, whereby HabitatReport may earn a referral commission at no additional cost to you. HabitatReport does not accept paid or sponsored hardware placements.
