Insulation Professionals of Ohio Terms of Use
Effective date: 11-11-2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of www.ohioinsulators.com, including the IPO Blog and the online forms linked from the site (together, the "Site"), operated by Insulation Professionals of Ohio ("IPO," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Purpose of the Site
The Site provides general information about IPO, mechanical insulation, firestopping, and abatement work, our member contractors, and apprenticeship and career opportunities in the insulation trade. This content is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not engineering, energy, legal, or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for an evaluation of your specific facility or project. Statements about energy savings, cost savings, and performance are general estimates, and actual results vary by project.
Energy Assessments
Requesting a free insulation energy assessment through the Site does not create a contract or any obligation for you or for IPO. Any assessment, and any insulation work that follows, will be subject to separate arrangements between you and IPO or a member contractor. Assessment results are estimates based on the conditions observed and the information available at the time of the assessment.
Contractor Information
The Site lists IPO member contractors for your convenience. A listing does not mean that IPO guarantees a contractor's work, pricing, availability, licensing, or insurance. Any agreement for services is solely between you and the contractor you choose, and IPO is not a party to it. You are responsible for evaluating any contractor before you hire them.
Apprenticeship, Career, and Membership Submissions
Submitting a personal profile, application, or registration form through the Site does not guarantee acceptance into an apprenticeship program, employment, membership, or contractor affiliation. Applications are reviewed under the standards and procedures of the applicable training program or organization. By submitting a form, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and complete, and that it is your own information or you have permission to submit it.
Intellectual Property
The Site and its content, including text, graphics, photographs, videos, logos, documents, and their arrangement, are owned by IPO or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. The IPO name and logo, and the names and logos of our affiliated organizations and member contractors, may not be used without written permission from their owners.
You may view, download, and print content from the Site, including fact sheets and other documents, for your personal use or for internal use within your organization, as long as you keep all copyright and other notices intact. You may not otherwise copy, modify, republish, sell, or distribute Site content without our written permission.

Third-Party Websites and Services
The Site links to websites and uses services that IPO does not control, including government and industry resources, member contractor websites, and our online form provider. These links are provided for convenience and do not mean that IPO endorses the linked site or its content. Your use of third-party websites and services is at your own risk and is subject to their own terms and policies.
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IPO, ITS AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS, AND THEIR OFFICERS, TRUSTEES, EMPLOYEES, MEMBERS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE OR ITS CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless IPO, its affiliated organizations, and their officers, trustees, employees, members, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your use of the Site, any content you submit, or your violation of these Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Franklin County, Ohio, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version on the Site and changing the effective date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.
General
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will stay in effect. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and IPO about your use of the Site.
