Safety & responsibility

Safety & responsibility

ClickTheFix gives you information, not a guarantee. Every diagnosis and guide here is AI-generated or general reference material. It can be wrong or incomplete, and it is not a substitute for a licensed professional's judgment, the manufacturer's instructions, or your local building codes. Read this before you start any repair.

If you do the work yourself

• You choose whether to attempt a repair, and you do it entirely at your own risk.
• ClickTheFix is not responsible if you or anyone else is injured, or if property is damaged, while following — or misfollowing — a guide.
• Follow the safety warnings in every guide, wear proper protective gear, shut off power, water, or gas before you start, and get any permits your area requires.
• Completing a step does not mean the work was done correctly or safely. If a step is beyond your skill, tools, or comfort, stop and hire a professional.
• If a repair involves gas, the inside of an electrical panel, structural work, or vehicle brakes and steering, hire a licensed professional. When in doubt, stop.

If a contractor does the work

• ClickTheFix does not provide repair services and does not employ, recommend, vet, license, insure, or endorse any contractor or tradesperson.
• Any work a contractor does is an agreement between you and that contractor alone. ClickTheFix is not a party to it and cannot supervise or control how the work is done.
• Pros who claim jobs through WhatTheFix pay ClickTheFix a lead fee ($35 per standard job, $55 for urgent or safety-hazard jobs). That fee buys the introduction only — it is not a background check, a license verification, or a guarantee, and ClickTheFix never takes a cut of what you pay the pro for the work itself.
• Before hiring anyone, verify their license and insurance, check references, and get the scope and price in writing. The "hire a pro" prices shown in guides are rough estimates only, never quotes.
• ClickTheFix does not guarantee or warranty any contractor's work and is not liable for their errors, omissions, poor workmanship, property damage, or injuries to you, your household, or anyone else.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, ClickTheFix and its operators are not liable for personal injury, death, property damage, or financial loss arising from repairs you attempt yourself or from work performed by any contractor you hire, even if a guide on this site contributed to the decision.
