Terms of Service

Last updated: January 2025

This is the legal page. It's not fun. It's not trying to be. But if you use Curb Canopy, these are the rules.

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using Curb Canopy (curbcanopy.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the site.

Description of service

Curb Canopy is an informational resource that aggregates publicly available data about free tree planting programs, urban forestry statistics, invasive species alerts, and conservation resources.

Curb Canopy is not a tree planting program, a government agency, or a conservation nonprofit. We do not plant trees, accept applications on behalf of programs, or guarantee the accuracy of any external program's information.

When you click “Learn More” on a program listing, you are leaving Curb Canopy and navigating to a third-party website. Your interaction with that site is governed by their terms and policies.

User-submitted content

When you submit a message through our contact form, you grant Curb Canopy a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use that content to improve the service (e.g., adding a program you suggested or correcting data you flagged).

We will not publish your personal information (name, email) without your explicit consent.

Intellectual property

The Curb Canopy name, logo, design, and original content are our intellectual property. The underlying tree program data is sourced from publicly available information and belongs to the respective organizations.

You may link to, share, or reference Curb Canopy content with attribution. You may not scrape, clone, or redistribute our content as your own.

Disclaimer of warranties

Curb Canopy is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. While we strive to keep information accurate and current, we make no guarantees that:

  • Program data is current or complete
  • External links will remain functional
  • Statistics are precise (urban forestry data involves estimates)
  • The site will be available without interruption

We provide “Last Verified” dates on our data sources for transparency. Always verify program details directly with the administering organization.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Curb Canopy and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site. This includes damages arising from reliance on information presented on the site, broken links to external resources, or decisions made based on our data.

Third-party links

Curb Canopy contains links to third-party websites including government agencies, conservation organizations, and news outlets. These links are provided for informational purposes only. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Curb Canopy shall be resolved in the courts of Pennsylvania.

Modifications

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of Curb Canopy after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
