Terms of Use
Last updated: October 28, 2026
These terms apply to your use of moldheadquarters.com and The Practical Guide to Mold & Moisture (the "guidebook"). "Mold HQ," "we," and "us" mean the operator of this site. By using the site or purchasing the guidebook, you agree to these terms.
Educational use only
The guidebook and the other content on this site are for general educational purposes. It is not a mold inspection, assessment, or remediation plan, and it is not medical, legal, or professional advice. It can't confirm whether mold is present, where moisture is coming from, or how far a problem has spread. Always consult a qualified professional about conditions in your home, and a doctor about any health concerns.
Your safety
You are responsible for your own safety and for deciding what is safe for you to do. Areas of the home that present hazards, such as the inside of a forced air unit (FAU), crawlspaces, and attics, should be accessed with the help of a professional if you're unsure. Don't open walls, remove panels, or disturb materials you are unsure about. You use the information on this site at your own risk.
The guidebook
When you purchase the guidebook, you get a personal, non-transferable license to use it for your own household. Your purchase includes the interactive guidebook and a PDF copy, which we email to you and which you can download again while signed in. The PDF is marked with your email address and order number, and the same license covers it: you may print it for your own use, but not share, post, resell, or redistribute it. Your purchase can be signed in on one device at a time. Signing in on another device signs out the previous one. Sign-in links are sent to the email used at checkout. You may not copy, resell, share access to, or redistribute the guidebook or its content. We may update or improve the guidebook's content over time. Guide access that comes with a Mold HQ test kit is for reading online only (no PDF copy), on one device at a time, and ends if the kit order is canceled before it ships. Kit orders are covered by the shipping and sales policy at kits.moldheadquarters.com/shipping/.
Purchases
Payments are processed by Stripe. For purchases processed through Stripe Managed Payments, Link acts as the merchant of record; otherwise Mold HQ is the seller. Prices are in U.S. dollars and shown at checkout. Because the guidebook is digital content available immediately, all sales are final, except as described in our Refund Policy.
Other websites
The guidebook may link to outside resources, such as government or industry guidance. We don't control those websites and aren't responsible for their content.
Professionals
We explain how to choose and work with mold professionals, but we don't refer, endorse, or guarantee any particular company. Any work you hire someone to do is between you and that company.
No warranties
The site and guidebook are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Mold HQ is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any property damage, personal injury, or health effects arising from your use of the site or the guidebook. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the guidebook.
Changes
We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
