This website is operated by Blue Ribbon Tree, a Washington tree-service company providing tree care and related services in the greater Seattle area.

References to “Blue Ribbon Tree,” “BRT,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the company operating this website.

These Website Terms apply only to use of the website. They do not replace or modify the terms contained in any estimate, proposal, work authorization, customer agreement, or other contract between Blue Ribbon Tree and a customer.

If there is any conflict between these Website Terms and the terms of an approved estimate or customer agreement, the customer agreement controls with respect to the services covered by that agreement.

Information on this website is provided for general informational and educational purposes.

Nothing on this website constitutes:

• a tree-risk assessment;
• an arborist report;
• a diagnosis of tree health or structural condition;
• a recommendation to prune, remove, retain, or otherwise alter a particular tree;
• a determination that a tree is safe or hazardous;
• legal advice;
• permitting advice specific to a property;
• engineering, geotechnical, surveying, environmental, or other professional advice; or
• a binding estimate, proposal, or agreement to perform work.

Trees, properties, soil conditions, utilities, structures, access conditions, slopes, critical areas, and regulatory requirements vary significantly from site to site.

A recommendation for a particular property should be based on an appropriate site evaluation and, where necessary, review of applicable permits, records, maps, regulations, or professional reports.

Viewing this website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, requesting information, or communicating with Blue Ribbon Tree through the website does not by itself create a customer relationship, arborist-client relationship, contractor-client relationship, or obligation for Blue Ribbon Tree to perform services.

A service relationship is created only when Blue Ribbon Tree accepts the work under an approved estimate, proposal, work authorization, or other agreement.

Descriptions of services on this website are general and may not apply to every property or project.

Any pricing examples, service descriptions, scheduling information, estimated timelines, or other project-related information displayed on the website are not binding unless specifically incorporated into a written estimate or agreement issued by Blue Ribbon Tree.

Final pricing and scope may depend on factors including:

• tree size, species, condition, and location;
• access and equipment requirements;
• proximity to buildings, utilities, roads, fences, landscaping, or neighboring property;
• climbing, rigging, crane, traffic-control, or specialty-equipment requirements;
• debris handling and disposal;
• stump size and underground conditions;
• permitting and regulatory requirements;
• critical areas or shoreline restrictions;
• site conditions discovered after work begins; and
• changes requested by the customer.

Any statements about scheduling, lead times, emergency response, availability, or expected completion times are estimates only unless specifically confirmed in writing.

Weather, crew availability, equipment conditions, permitting, utility conflicts, emergencies, access issues, or other circumstances may affect scheduling.

Website content does not guarantee that Blue Ribbon Tree is available for a particular project or date.

This website may contain information about municipal codes, tree-removal permits, significant or protected trees, tree-retention requirements, replacement requirements, shoreline regulations, environmentally critical areas, wetlands, streams, slopes, buffers, or other regulatory matters.

This information is provided as a general reference only.

Tree regulations can:

• change over time;
• differ by jurisdiction;
• depend on the specific parcel;
• vary according to tree species, size, condition, or classification;
• differ depending on whether development is proposed;
• depend on critical-area, shoreline, drainage, utility, easement, or other property designations; and
• require interpretation or final approval by the applicable government agency.

Blue Ribbon Tree does not warrant that regulatory information on the website is complete, current, or applicable to a particular property.

The applicable government agency has final authority over permit and regulatory determinations.

Service-area descriptions, neighborhood references, drive times, routes, maps, and geographic information are approximate and provided for convenience.

Travel times may vary because of traffic, road closures, weather, routing, job-site access, or other conditions.

The inclusion of a city, neighborhood, or area on the website does not guarantee service availability for every address within that area.

Photographs, descriptions, before-and-after examples, and project images are illustrative only.

Every tree and property is different. The appearance, technique, equipment, staffing, duration, outcome, or cost shown in one project should not be assumed to apply to another.

Images may also depict work performed under site conditions, customer instructions, permits, or other circumstances that are not visible from the photograph.

Trees are living organisms and can fail unpredictably.

No website statement, photograph, general species description, or educational material should be interpreted as a representation that a particular tree is safe, unsafe, stable, hazardous, healthy, or free from defects.

Even an inspected tree may contain hidden defects or experience failure because of wind, weather, disease, soil conditions, root disturbance, structural defects, or other causes.

If you believe a tree presents an immediate danger to people, buildings, vehicles, power lines, or other property, do not rely on website information. Contact the appropriate emergency service, utility provider, government agency, or qualified tree-care professional as appropriate.

Website information does not constitute confirmation of underground or overhead utility locations.

Utility locating, access, permitting, clearance, or other safety requirements may apply to individual projects.

Customers should not rely on the website to determine whether digging, stump grinding, excavation, tree removal, or other work is safe at a particular location.

Customer obligations concerning property access, vehicles, locked gates, pets, utilities, irrigation, concealed conditions, permits, neighboring-property access, work-site presence, payment, cancellations, or changes to the work are governed by the applicable estimate and customer Terms & Conditions.

Nothing on this website modifies those obligations.

Unless expressly stated in a written agreement, Blue Ribbon Tree does not guarantee:

• that pruning will produce a particular aesthetic result;
• that a tree will remain healthy, structurally sound, or alive after work;
• that pruning will eliminate all future limb failure;
• that removal of dead, diseased, or hazardous material will eliminate all tree-related risk;
• that tree or hedge growth will occur in a particular manner;
• that stump grinding will remove all underground roots;
• that grass, landscaping, soil, paving, or other surfaces will remain unchanged during tree work; or
• that permit or government approval will be granted.

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate website content, but the website may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, broken links, or typographical mistakes.

We may update, modify, remove, or correct website content at any time without notice.

Blue Ribbon Tree does not warrant that the website will always be accurate, complete, current, available, secure, or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Blue Ribbon Tree will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising solely from use of, inability to use, or reliance upon this website or its general informational content.

Blue Ribbon Tree will not be responsible for losses arising from a user’s decision to act or refrain from acting based solely on general website information rather than obtaining an appropriate property-specific evaluation.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

The website may link to cities, counties, state agencies, utility providers, permitting portals, mapping services, social media platforms, vendors, or other third-party websites.

These Website Terms do not waive, replace, reduce, or supersede any rights, remedies, protections, obligations, limitations, exclusions, indemnities, payment requirements, or other provisions contained in a customer estimate, proposal, work authorization, or Terms & Conditions.

Those documents govern the actual tree-care services performed by Blue Ribbon Tree.

These Website Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute relating solely to use of this website will be governed by applicable Washington and federal law.

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Blue Ribbon Tree’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce that provision or any other provision later.

We may revise these Website Terms from time to time.

Changes become effective when the revised Terms are posted, unless otherwise stated.
