These terms apply to everyone who joins a Sagebreak provider list ("you"), including contractors, wildfire risk assessors, landscape architects and other mitigation professionals ("mitigation providers"), and licensed insurance agents and brokers ("insurance providers"). Sagebreak Resilience, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Sagebreak," "we"), runs the lists. By checking the box on our sign-up form, you agree to these terms.
Sections 1 to 5 and 9 to 13 apply to everyone. Sections 6 and 7 apply to mitigation providers. Section 8 applies to insurance providers.
1. What the provider lists are
Sagebreak keeps lists of wildfire mitigation professionals and of licensed insurance agents and brokers. We share them with homeowners who complete our free wildfire assessment and ask for help. Any provider who meets the requirements in these terms can join.
Being on a list isn't an endorsement, and it doesn't guarantee you any clients, jobs or referrals. The order of a list doesn't rank providers. Homeowners are always free to work with anyone they choose, on our lists or not.
2. Your requirements
To stay on a list, you agree to:
- Hold and keep current every license your work requires in each state where you serve homeowners. For contractors, that's your state contractor license. For insurance providers, it's your insurance producer license, and you'll give us your National Producer Number.
- Mitigation providers: carry general liability insurance, plus workers' compensation if your state requires it.
- Insurance providers: complete Sagebreak's wildfire mitigation training before you're listed.
- Tell us within 10 days if a license or required insurance lapses, is suspended or changes.
- Give us accurate information about yourself and your business, and keep it up to date.
We may check your licenses and insurance at any time.
3. You run your own business
You're an independent business, not Sagebreak's employee, agent or subcontractor. You set your own prices and terms and contract directly with homeowners. You're fully responsible for your own work, advice and products, including their quality, legal compliance, warranties and any problems that come up.
4. No payments for referrals
Joining a list is free through December 31, 2026. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice before any fee takes effect, and you can leave before then.
Sagebreak doesn't pay you for referring homeowners to us, and you don't pay Sagebreak to be listed or for referrals or leads. Neither of us gives the other anything of value in exchange for referrals.
5. How you talk about Sagebreak
You may say you're on a Sagebreak provider list and share our free wildfire assessment with homeowners. You agree not to:
- Say or imply that Sagebreak endorses, certifies or guarantees you or your work.
- Promise homeowners any insurance discount, renewal or coverage because of mitigation work or a Wildfire-Ready Report.
- Quote interest rates, monthly payments, loan terms, fees or approval odds for financing, or describe financing as coming from Sagebreak. Financing is offered and decided by each lender. Send financing questions to the financing page on our site.
- Use Sagebreak's name or logo in other ways without our written OK.
If you ask for one, we may give you a co-branded link to our free self-assessment that shows your business name and logo, "powered by Sagebreak." You give us permission to use your name and logo for that link and the reports that come from it, and you confirm you have the right to let us use them. Use the link only to invite homeowners to take the self-assessment. Homeowners who start from your link won't see a list of other providers of your kind, but they're still free to work with anyone they choose. We may turn your link off at any time, including if you leave a list.
6. Mitigation providers: your work
Sagebreak doesn't scope, price, manage or supervise your work, and doesn't guarantee it. You scope and quote the work directly with the homeowner and sign your own contract with them.
For financed jobs, the financing partner pays you directly under its own process. Sagebreak isn't responsible for those payments.
7. Mitigation providers: the Wildfire-Ready Report
When you complete work for a homeowner who's working with Sagebreak, you agree to:
- Take before photos when you start the job and after photos of the work you completed, following our photo guidelines.
- Upload your invoice and any product spec sheets or permit records we ask for.
- Submit only accurate, unaltered photos and documents of the actual work.
We use what you send to prepare a Wildfire-Ready Report for the homeowner. The report documents what was submitted and what the homeowner confirmed. It isn't an inspection, and it doesn't certify your work.
You keep ownership of the photos and documents you submit. You give Sagebreak a permanent, royalty-free license to use, copy, store and share them to prepare Wildfire-Ready Reports, run and improve our services, and, with the homeowner's permission, share them with insurers, lenders, government programs or research partners.
8. Insurance providers: insurance activity
Sagebreak isn't an insurance agent, broker or insurer. We don't sell, solicit or negotiate insurance, and we don't recommend insurers, policies or agents. You're fully responsible for the insurance advice you give, the policies you place, and your own compliance with insurance laws.
Your listing shows your name, agency, contact information and the areas you serve. With a homeowner's permission, we may send you their Wildfire-Ready Report or keep you updated on their project. You agree to use that information only to help that homeowner, and to handle it according to the privacy laws that apply to you.
9. Data and privacy
Sagebreak owns the Wildfire-Ready Reports, our report format and methods, and the data we build from them. We don't sell personal information. See our Privacy Policy at sagebreakresilience.com/#privacy.
A homeowner who starts from your co-branded link may choose to share their self-assessment report with you. If they do, we'll email you a link to it. You agree to keep it confidential, use it only to help that homeowner, not share it with anyone else without their permission, and handle it according to the privacy laws that apply to you. A self-assessment report reflects the homeowner's own answers; it isn't an inspection, and it isn't a Wildfire-Ready Report.
10. Leaving or being removed
You can leave a list at any time by emailing hello@sagebreakresilience.com. We may remove you at any time, including if you don't meet these terms, a license or required insurance lapses, a homeowner raises a serious complaint, or we stop running the list in your area.
Sections 3, 7, 9, 11 and 12 still apply after you leave.
11. No guarantees
The provider lists, our training and the Wildfire-Ready Report are provided "as is." Sagebreak doesn't promise any number of clients, jobs, referrals, financing approvals or insurance outcomes.
12. Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Sagebreak isn't liable for indirect, incidental or lost-profit damages. Sagebreak's total liability to you under these terms is limited to $100.
You agree to cover Sagebreak for claims that come from your work or advice, your contracts with homeowners, or your breaking these terms.
13. Other terms
- We may update these terms. We'll post the new version here and email you at least 30 days before material changes take effect. If you stay on a list after that, you agree to the new terms.
- These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
- If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
- These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the provider lists.
