Honey Bee Plumbing’s “PriceBuzzter” Program
Terms of Service
1. Introduction
Welcome to Honey Bee Plumbing’s (“we,” “us,” “our”) PriceBuzzter program. By submitting information, uploading competitor quotes, and/or otherwise participating in this program (the “Service”), you (“the client” or “you”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not participate in the program.
2. Description of the Program
2.1 PriceBuzzter Overview
This program allows clients to submit a valid, written estimate from another licensed plumbing service provider in Florida, along with relevant images or videos, to receive a second opinion and a cost estimate from Honey Bee Plumbing.
2.2 Upload Requirements
- The competitor’s estimate must be a legitimate, itemized quote from a licensed plumbing professional.
- You must upload a copy of the competitor’s estimate, as well as any relevant photos/videos depicting the plumbing issue or project site.
- Large files (especially videos) may exceed hosting or email attachment limits. If so, we may request that you provide links to third-party file-sharing services (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox).
- All competitor estimates submitted will be kept discrete and will not be used for any purpose other than evaluating and providing a second opinion.
2.3 No Guaranteed Price Beat
- While we strive to offer competitive pricing, we do not guarantee we can beat or match the submitted competitor’s price.
- Our commitment is to provide a professional job, completed in a timely manner, at a fair and transparent price based on industry standards and our evaluation.
2.4 Diagnostic Fees
Honey Bee Plumbing typically charges an $89 diagnostic/estimate fee for on-site evaluations. For customers using PriceBuzzter, this fee is waived only if:
1. A legitimate competitor’s estimate is submitted.
2. The estimate covers the same scope of work you’re requesting from us.
We may recommend a different scope of work if we discover additional issues not covered by the competitor’s quote. This could affect the final estimate.
3. Eligibility
3.1 Service Area
PriceBuzzter is currently available only to residents or businesses located in Santa Rosa County, Escambia County, and Okaloosa County in Florida.
We reserve the right to decline any request if we determine that providing an on-site evaluation would not be feasible within these service areas.
3.2 Proper Documentation
To be eligible, you must provide full, legible documentation of the competitor’s estimate. Incomplete or illegible submissions may disqualify you from the program.
3.3 Program Discretion
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to accept or refuse any request to participate in the PriceBuzzter program.
4. Client Responsibilities
4.1 Accuracy of Information
You are responsible for ensuring that all submitted information (e.g., photos, videos, competitor estimates) is accurate and truthful. By submitting these materials, you confirm you have the legal right to share them.
4.2 Compliance with Laws
You agree to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws when submitting estimates and other materials.
4.3 Use of Our Estimate
Any quote or estimate provided by Honey Bee Plumbing is valid only for the timeframe stated in that quote. Changes in project scope, condition of fixtures, or other unknown variables may alter the final price.
