The small print
Terms of Use
The basic rules for using this website. Short, and hopefully uncontroversial.
Last updated September 25, 2026.
These terms cover the website only. Any work Tide & Timber does for you is covered by the estimate, invoice or written agreement for that job. Nothing on this website is an offer to perform a specific job at a specific price, and submitting the form does not book one.
Agreement
By using this website you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the site. The website is operated by Dave Stephens, owner of Tide & Timber Handyman Services.
What this website is for
This website describes the handyman and boat maintenance services Tide & Timber offers in Santa Cruz County, California, and gives you a way to request a consultation. It exists so that you can learn about the work and get in touch.
Services are accepted project by project
Services are accepted on a project-by-project basis and are limited to work within Tide & Timber’s permitted and insured scope. Dave decides whether a project is a good fit after seeing a description and, usually, photos. Specialized or permit-required work is referred to an appropriately licensed professional. Read the full scope of services.
No professional advice
General descriptions on this website of what a repair or maintenance task typically involves are just that: general. They are not advice about your home or your boat, and they are not a substitute for an on-site assessment or for advice from a licensed contractor, electrician, plumber, marine professional or other specialist where one is needed.
Using this website
Please don’t:
- Use the site or its form for anything unlawful, harassing or deceptive
- Submit false information or impersonate someone else
- Attempt to disrupt, probe or gain unauthorized access to the site or its hosting
- Scrape, harvest or bulk-copy the site’s content or contact details
- Send automated, promotional or bulk messages through the form
- Upload anything other than photos of your own project
Your submissions
When you send a request through this website, you confirm the information and photos are yours to send and are accurate to the best of your knowledge. See the privacy policy for how submissions are handled.
Content and ownership
The text, design, logo and images on this website belong to Tide & Timber Handyman Services or are used with permission, and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You’re welcome to read and share links to these pages. Please don’t republish, resell or present the content as your own without written permission.
Availability
We try to keep the site accurate and available, but it is provided “as is.” Content may be updated or removed at any time, and there may be periods when the site is unavailable.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tide & Timber Handyman Services is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of this website or your reliance on its general information. This does not limit any liability that cannot legally be limited, and it does not affect the terms of any work actually agreed and performed.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Changes
These terms may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site means the current version applies.

These are draft website terms written for a small local service business. They are not legal advice and have not been reviewed by an attorney. Dave should have them reviewed before relying on them.
