Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: October 30, 2026
Last Updated: October 30, 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the SelfMade Contracting Services LLC website and your interactions with our residential appliance repair, appliance installation, water heater installation, and other available services.

By using this website, contacting us, submitting a service request, or scheduling service, you acknowledge these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website or submit a service request through it.

About SelfMade Contracting Services LLC

SelfMade Contracting Services LLC provides residential appliance repair and installation-related services from Marseilles, Illinois.

Our available services may vary based on the appliance, equipment, requested work, property conditions, required connections, parts availability, and the scope of work we can perform.

Information presented on this website is intended to describe our services generally. It does not guarantee that every appliance, model, component, repair, installation, or property condition falls within our service scope.

Website Use

You may use this website for lawful personal purposes, including reviewing service information, contacting us, and requesting residential service.

You agree not to use the website to:

  • Submit false or misleading information
  • Interfere with website operation or security
  • Attempt unauthorized access to the website or related systems
  • Introduce malicious code, automated attacks, or harmful software
  • Misuse website forms or communication features
  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your authority
  • Use website content in violation of applicable law

We may restrict access to the website when reasonably necessary to protect its operation, security, users, or our business.

Website Information Is General Information

Website content is provided for general informational and service-description purposes.

Appliance symptoms can have multiple causes. Information about common failures, components, installation conditions, or troubleshooting does not constitute a diagnosis of a specific appliance or property condition.

A website description should not be treated as a substitute for an appropriate in-person evaluation when one is required.

Service Availability and Scope

Submitting a request does not guarantee that SelfMade Contracting Services LLC can perform the requested work.

Before accepting or completing a service, we may need to consider factors such as:

  • Appliance or equipment type
  • Model and configuration
  • Reported problem
  • Installation location
  • Existing hookups or connections
  • Property access
  • Physical condition of the appliance
  • Parts or materials required
  • Safety conditions
  • Work outside our available service scope

We may decline work that we cannot safely, reasonably, or appropriately perform.

Service Requests and Appointments

A website form, phone call, email, or other inquiry is a service request and does not by itself create a completed service agreement.

Appointment availability may depend on scheduling, location, service type, and other operational factors.

Customers should provide accurate information about the appliance, property, requested service, and known conditions when scheduling.

If important information changes before an appointment, please let us know as soon as reasonably possible.

Customer Responsibilities Before Service

Customers are responsible for providing reasonable access to the appliance or installation area.

Before an appointment, customers should take reasonable steps to:

  • Provide an accurate service address
  • Make the appliance reasonably accessible
  • Remove unnecessary items around the work area
  • Secure pets where appropriate
  • Identify known leaks, electrical concerns, or unusual conditions
  • Provide available model information when requested
  • Disclose known property or equipment conditions that could affect the work

Additional preparation may be required depending on the requested service.

Authority to Request Work

By requesting service at a property, you represent that you are authorized to approve access to the property and request the work being discussed.

If you are not the property owner, you are responsible for obtaining any permission required from the owner, landlord, property manager, or other authorized party before work begins.

SelfMade Contracting Services LLC may request confirmation of authorization when circumstances reasonably require it.

Appliance Diagnosis and Repair Decisions

Appliance symptoms do not always identify the failed component.

A warm refrigerator, a washer that will not drain, or a dryer that does not heat can have multiple possible causes. Diagnostic work may be necessary before we can identify the repair scope.

A diagnosis or repair recommendation is based on the conditions reasonably observable at the time of service.

Hidden defects, intermittent failures, previous repairs, damaged wiring, inaccessible components, or unrelated appliance problems may not always be identifiable during an initial evaluation.

Estimates and Scope of Work

Any estimate or quoted scope applies to the work described at the time it is provided.

The scope may need to change if additional conditions are discovered after work begins, including:

  • Additional failed components
  • Concealed damage
  • Incompatible existing connections
  • Previous improper installation or repair
  • Access limitations
  • Corrosion or deterioration
  • Manufacturer-specific requirements
  • Conditions affecting safe completion of the work

If additional work is identified, it should be discussed before work outside the agreed scope proceeds whenever reasonably practicable.

Pricing, Fees, and Payment

Pricing can depend on the type of service, diagnostic work, labor, parts, materials, installation conditions, and other factors associated with the requested work.

Any diagnostic fees, service charges, estimates, deposits, payment timing, or other charges applicable to a particular appointment should be communicated as part of the service process.

Website content should not be interpreted as establishing a fixed price unless a specific price is clearly identified as applying to the requested service.

Customers are responsible for payment of charges they approve for completed or authorized work.

Parts and Materials

Some repairs or installations may require replacement parts, fittings, connections, or other materials.

Availability can vary based on appliance model, manufacturer, age, distributor inventory, or other supply conditions.

If a required part or material is unavailable, delayed, discontinued, or incompatible with the existing appliance, we may need to reschedule or make a different service decision.

We do not guarantee availability of every replacement part for every appliance model.

Appliance Installation Conditions

Appliance installation depends on both the appliance and the conditions at the installation location.

Before installation, factors may include:

  • Appliance dimensions
  • Manufacturer installation requirements
  • Available opening dimensions
  • Required clearance
  • Existing connections
  • Water or drain connections
  • Electrical requirements
  • Access to the installation area
  • Floor condition
  • Leveling requirements

A new appliance does not automatically guarantee compatibility with the connections or space used by the appliance it replaces.

Work requiring connections, modifications, permits, licensed trades, or other services outside the available installation scope may need to be handled separately.

Water Heater Installation

Water heater installation may involve requirements different from ordinary appliance installation.

The installation can depend on equipment capacity, available space, existing connections, applicable manufacturer requirements, and site conditions.

Permit, inspection, licensing, or code requirements may also apply depending on the property and scope of work.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a representation that every water heater installation, modification, or related trade requirement falls within our available service scope.

Safety Conditions

H2: Safety Conditions

We may stop, postpone, modify, or decline work if a condition appears unsafe or prevents the requested service from being performed appropriately.

Examples may include:

  • Exposed or damaged electrical components
  • Active water leaks
  • Unsafe appliance modifications
  • Inadequate access
  • Structural obstacles
  • Damaged connections
  • Conditions requiring another licensed trade
  • Hazardous materials or unsafe surroundings

Customers should not attempt to bypass appliance safety systems or perform hazardous internal repairs based solely on information found on this website.

Microwave Safety

Microwave ovens can contain high-voltage components that require appropriate professional handling.

Customers should not remove microwave covers, bypass door interlocks, or attempt internal high-voltage repairs based on website content.

A microwave with a visibly damaged door, latch, hinge, or closure should not be treated as an ordinary performance problem.

Existing Damage and Pre-Existing Conditions

SelfMade Contracting Services LLC is not responsible for damage or defects that existed before our work began.

Pre-existing conditions may include:

  • Worn or damaged flooring
  • Damaged cabinets
  • Corroded connections
  • Brittle hoses or fittings
  • Previous improper repairs
  • Existing leaks
  • Damaged wiring
  • Appliance deterioration
  • Hidden defects
  • Improper prior installation

When reasonably possible, significant visible conditions affecting the work may be discussed before service proceeds.

Customer-Supplied Appliances or Parts

If a customer provides an appliance, replacement part, fitting, accessory, or other material, compatibility and suitability should not be assumed.

Customer-supplied items may be subject to manufacturer requirements, model-specific limitations, or installation conditions.

SelfMade Contracting Services LLC may decline to install or use an item that appears incompatible, damaged, unsafe, incomplete, or outside the available service scope.

Manufacturer Instructions and Warranties

Appliance and equipment manufacturers may provide their own installation instructions, product warranties, operating requirements, and limitations.

Manufacturer warranties are separate from SelfMade Contracting Services LLC unless expressly stated otherwise.

Customers should review applicable manufacturer documentation before taking actions that could affect product warranty coverage. 

Service Warranties

Any warranty specifically provided by SelfMade Contracting Services LLC for a particular repair, part, installation, or service will be governed by the terms communicated for that work.

Nothing on this website creates a warranty period or guarantee that has not been expressly provided.

Warranty coverage, when applicable, may depend on the service performed, parts used, subsequent appliance condition, customer use, and other applicable terms.

No Guarantee of Future Appliance Performance

Repairing one identified problem does not guarantee that an appliance will never experience another failure.

Appliances contain multiple mechanical, electrical, electronic, plumbing, heating, cooling, or control components that can wear or fail independently.

Service performed on one component should not be interpreted as a guarantee covering unrelated parts or future failures unless expressly stated.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, contact us as soon as reasonably possible.

Any cancellation, rescheduling, missed-appointment, or related policy that applies to a specific service should be communicated during the appointment process.

This page does not create a cancellation fee or missed-appointment charge unless such a charge has been separately disclosed and agreed to.

Third-Party Products and Services

Our services may involve appliances, components, manufacturers, suppliers, or other third-party products.

SelfMade Contracting Services LLC does not control third-party manufacturing, product design, warranty administration, parts availability, recalls, shipping, or independent third-party services.

References to third-party brands or products do not imply sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement unless expressly stated.

Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

Those websites are controlled by their respective owners and may have separate terms, privacy practices, and policies.

SelfMade Contracting Services LLC is not responsible for the content, availability, security, or practices of independent third-party websites.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, website text, branding, page design, graphics, logos, and other original website content are owned by or used with permission by SelfMade Contracting Services LLC.

Website content may not be copied, reproduced, republished, distributed, sold, or commercially exploited without appropriate authorization, except where permitted by law.

You may view website content for ordinary personal use when considering or requesting our services.

Prohibited Reliance on Website Content

Do not rely on website content as instructions for performing work that requires professional skill, specialized tools, electrical access, refrigerant handling, plumbing modifications, or other potentially hazardous procedures.

The website is intended to help customers understand common service situations and decide when professional service may be appropriate.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SelfMade Contracting Services LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising solely from use of, or inability to use, this website.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Any rights or remedies that apply to a specific paid service may also be governed by the applicable service agreement, estimate, invoice, warranty, or other written terms provided for that work.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims, or expenses resulting from your unlawful misuse of the website, violation of these Terms and Conditions, or submission of information or service requests you were not authorized to provide.

This provision does not require you to indemnify SelfMade Contracting Services LLC for matters where such indemnification would be prohibited by law.

Privacy

Personal information submitted through the website or in connection with service requests is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains categories of information that may be collected, purposes for which information may be used, and how privacy-related questions or requests can be submitted.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another law must apply.

Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer protection right that cannot legally be waived.

Severability

If a provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

Any invalid provision should be interpreted or limited as necessary to preserve its lawful purpose where possible.

No Waiver

A failure by SelfMade Contracting Services LLC to enforce a provision of these Terms and Conditions does not automatically waive the right to enforce that provision later.

Any waiver must apply only to the specific circumstances for which it is given.

Changes to These Terms and Conditions

We may update these Terms and Conditions when our website, services, business practices, or legal obligations change.

The current version may be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Continued use of the website after revised terms are posted means the website will be governed by the version then in effect, subject to applicable law.
