Terms of Service
Effective Date: October 14, 2026
Welcome to the Finishing Solutions Network website (the “Site”). Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using our website or utilizing our network referral services. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. Overview of the Network
Finishing Solutions Network (“FSN”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is an industry alliance that connects project owners, developers, architects, and general contractors with pre-screened, certified specialty contractors across North America. Our advisory and contractor-matching services are provided at zero cost to project owners and general contractors.
2. Nature of Advisory & Referral Services
FSN operates exclusively as a referral, match-making, and trade-advisory network. FSN is not a general contractor, subcontractor, or direct employer of trade personnel, nor does FSN directly perform commercial, industrial, or architectural construction or finishing scopes.
3. Independent Contractor Relationship
All member contractors within the FSN directory and network are independent business entities. Any proposal, contract, warranty, or agreement for construction services, surface preparation, glazing, industrial coating, or related scopes is executed directly between the project owner/general contractor and the selected member contractor. FSN is not a party to, nor responsible for, the terms or execution of any trade contract or subcontract.
4. Credentialing and User Due Diligence
While FSN verifies member contractor qualifications—including licensing, insurance, bonding capacity, and safety certs (e.g., AMPP, NACE, NCCER, NACC, AGMT, OSHA)—information provided on the Site is for general informational and referral purposes. Project owners and general contractors maintain the ultimate responsibility to perform standard project-level due diligence, contract verification, and scope reviews prior to executing binding agreements.
5. Intellectual Property Rights
All content, branding, logos, graphics, and text contained on this Site are the intellectual property of Finishing Solutions Network or its content licensors. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Site content without express written authorization from FSN.
6. External Links and Third-Party Content
This Site may contain links to third-party news outlets, industry trade publications, press releases, or external partner websites. FSN does not monitor or control third-party content and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of external sites.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FSN, its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your access to, use of, or inability to use this Site, or any performance, delay, dispute, or default occurring between you and a matched third-party contractor.
8. Modifications to Terms
FSN reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
