Terms of use.
The ground rules for this site, our resources and our community.
Last updated: September 22, 2026
These terms cover your use of thebettercontractor.com and anything you get from it. Using the site means you accept them.
What this site is
The Better Contractor publishes a podcast, runs a private community, sells business coaching, and gives away resources for contractors. Everything here is general business and operational information based on our own experience running crews and companies.
What this site is not
Nothing on this site is legal, financial, tax, insurance or safety compliance advice, and nothing here creates a professional relationship between us. Our safety and equipment resources are starting points built from our own field experience. They are not a substitute for OSHA requirements, manufacturer instructions, your insurer's rules, or the judgment of a qualified safety professional. You are responsible for making sure anything you use meets the rules that apply to your work and your jurisdiction, and for how it is used on your job sites.
Coaching and results
Coaching engagements are governed by whatever agreement we sign with you, and that agreement controls if it conflicts with anything here. We do not guarantee any particular business outcome, revenue figure or result. Any examples or numbers we share are illustrations of what has happened, not promises of what will happen for you.
Our content
The content on this site, including articles, podcast episodes, videos, checklists, forms and graphics, belongs to The Better Contractor or to the people we license it from. You may use our free resources inside your own business, including with your own crews. You may not resell them, repackage them, redistribute them as your own, or use our name or logo to promote anything without our written permission.
What you send us
If you send us a question, comment, testimonial or suggestion, you give us permission to use it in our content, with attribution where it makes sense. Do not send us anything confidential that you do not want repeated.
The community
Our private group is a place for contractors to help each other. Self-promotion, spam, harassment and recruiting our members for your own offers are grounds for removal. We can remove anyone from the group at any time, for any reason, without notice.
Other sites and tools
We link to other companies' sites, tools and platforms. We do not control them and we are not responsible for what they do or what happens to you there.
The site as is
We work to keep this site accurate and available, but we provide it as is, without warranties of any kind. We do not promise the site will always be up, error free, or free of anything harmful.
Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, The Better Contractor is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of your use of this site or our free resources, including lost profits or business interruption. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us, if anything, in the twelve months before the claim.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top tells you when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after that means you accept the update.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located there.
