  3. SERVICE PROFESSIONAL PRESCREENING PROCEDURES AND DISCLAIMERS. Unless otherwise noted elsewhere, TARM uses the following criteria as part of its registration enrollment process ("registration") for new service professionals, with the exception of Corporate Accounts (as described below) (which are not screened) applying for membership in our network:

Licensing - TARM confirms at the time of a service professionals registration, that a prospective new service professional member has all applicable required state-level trade licensing. Certain states may require state-level licensing for projects above specified dollar amounts. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements with the business and the applicable state and local licensing authorities. In some states, licensing may be required by the county or local authority in which the work is being performed. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements before proceeding with your project. Larger projects often require the use of sub-contractors for specific types of work (for example, a kitchen remodel may require an electrician or plumber). We recommend you verify that all the sub-contractors doing work on your project carry the appropriate licensing. Given the unique nature of California licensing, TARM relies on representations of service professionals that are using a California General building contracting license to cover home improvement tasks, that such service professionals are performing more than one task as defined and required by California licensing rules. We always recommend that you ask the business to provide you with a copy of their license. TARM does not check state-level or provincial level trade licensing for photographers or caterers.

State Business Filings - For service professionals that are corporations or limited liability companies, we confirm that the service professional is in good standing in the state in which it is located.

NOTE: TARM performs screening solely at the time the service professional applies for membership in the TARM network, and therefore a service professional's information may change or expire over time. Thus, TARM cannot and does not warrant or represent that profile and screening information is up to date. TARM is under no obligation to update a service professional's screening information. We recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented in the service professional's profile, including any applicable state-level license, is still accurate, current and/or acceptable to you.

Corporate Accounts - Some service professionals are employees, franchisees, dealers, or independent contractors ("Corporate SP's") of larger national or corporate accounts ("Corporate Accounts"). In such event, you may be matched with the Corporate Account entity or with one of their Corporate service professionals. The above screening criteria is not applicable to Corporate Accounts, and therefore, TARM does not screen the Corporate Accounts or Corporate service professionals.

The above procedures may change from time to time at the sole discretion of TARM. TARM believes that it uses commercially reasonable methods to check these matters but does not make any representations or warranties that members are appropriately licensed or free of significant state-level civil legal judgments, during the period they are members, or thereafter. As circumstances can change daily, TARM advises consumers to check these matters for themselves especially at future dates. TARM does not represent or warrant that the information received from state, provincial or other government agencies or from third party sources is accurate, error free, or that it is up to date or updated at the time that TARM checks such information. Most agencies have periodic update cycles or schedules and this information is not updated on a real-time basis by such agencies and third party sources.

DISCLAIMER: TARM EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED RELATING TO THE PRESCREENING PROCESS, CRITERIA, PROCEDURES, OR INFORMATION OBTAINED OR PRESENTED IN THE PRESCREENING PROCESS OR DISCLOSURES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, OR THAT THE SCREENING OR VERIFICATION PROCEDURES OR STANDARDS ARE SUFFICIENT OR THAT THE INFORMATION RECEIVED IN THESE SCREENING OR VERIFICATION PROCEDURES IS ACCURATE, TIMELY OR ERROR FREE.
