Terms of Service

Effective date: October 14, 2026

These terms govern your use of HeatTreatPro ("the site," "we," "us"), a directory of commercial heat treating services in the United States, operated by EbyKnives. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

About this service

HeatTreatPro is a free, informational directory that helps buyers find commercial heat treat service bureaus. We are not affiliated with any of the shops listed, and we are not a party to any transaction between you and a listed shop. Listings are provided "as is" for informational purposes.

Accuracy of listings

Listing information is compiled from public sources such as industry publications, trade directories, and community recommendations. While we work to keep listings current, we cannot guarantee that any listing — address, services offered, certifications, or contact details — is complete, accurate, or up to date. Shops open, close, and change what they offer. Always verify details directly with the shop before doing business with them.

No endorsement

Inclusion of a shop in this directory is not an endorsement, recommendation, or certification of quality. We do not evaluate or verify the workmanship of any listed shop. Featured or promoted placements, where offered, are marked as such and are paid placements — they are not endorsements either.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, HeatTreatPro and its operator are not liable for any damages — direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential — arising from your use of the site, reliance on listing information, or dealings with any shop listed on the site. You use this directory at your own risk.

Third-party links

Listings link to websites operated by independent companies. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those sites. Following a link leaves our site and subjects you to that site's terms and privacy practices.

Intellectual property

The HeatTreatPro name, site design, and original content are owned by EbyKnives. Shop names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners and are used on the site for identification purposes only.

Shop submissions

If you submit a shop listing, you agree that:

Listed shops may request corrections or removal of their listing at any time through the contact method below.

Featured listings and paid placement

The site may offer featured or promoted placement within the directory for a fee. Any such placement will be clearly marked. Paid placement does not guarantee traffic, leads, or business outcomes, and featured shops are subject to the same "no endorsement" provision above.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
