By submitting a review or interacting with the Site, you agree to these Guidelines, our Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy.

RateMyAdjusters LLC reserves the right to update these Guidelines at any time.

1. Purpose of the Platform

RateMyAdjusters exists to collect and display subjective user experiences related to insurance adjusters.

The platform:

  • Publishes user opinions, not verified facts
  • Displays public licensing information and user-submitted corrections
  • Does not verify or endorse any adjuster or review
  • Does not provide legal, insurance, or financial advice

Reviews help other homeowners, contractors, and policyholders understand typical claim experiences.

They are not authoritative reports, professional evaluations, or factual investigations.

2. What You May Submit

You may submit:

  • Personal experiences related to a property insurance claim
  • Opinions about communication, professionalism, timeliness, accuracy, or process
  • Commentary on inspection behavior, estimate practices, or claim handling
  • Information helpful to future claimants

Reviews must be:

  • Truthful to your personal experience
  • Respectful and civil
  • Accurate to the best of your knowledge
  • Based on your own interaction with the adjuster

3. What You May NOT Submit

You may not submit content that includes:

3.1 Unlawful or Restricted Content

You—and only you—are responsible for the content you submit.

By posting a review, you represent that:

  • It reflects your genuine, subjective opinion

Critical Protection

RateMyAdjusters:

  • Has no obligation to monitor User Content

  • Retain removed content internally for fraud detection, abuse prevention, or legal compliance

We do not alter the meaning of the reviewer's opinion.

7. Non-Removal Policy

Strong Shield

RateMyAdjusters does not remove content simply because:

  • An adjuster disagrees
  • A company dislikes the review

FCRA Protection
