Terms of Service

KUEBER COMMUNICATIONS LLC TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Introduction

Welcome to Savethepinkbathrooms.com (collectively the “Site”), created by Kueber Communications, LLC. This document constitutes a legally-binding agreement (this “Agreement”) governing the terms of providing you with services (“Service”) related to the Site.

BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SITE (AS DEFINED HEREIN), YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AS WELL AS OUR PRIVACY NOTICE.

Throughout this Agreement, “Kueber,” “us,” “we,” and “our” refer to us, Kueber Communications, LLC, or our Site, SavethePinkBathrooms.com, as is appropriate in the use of the words. Likewise, the words “you” and “your” refer to you, the person who is bound by this Agreement as a condition of using the Site, as defined herein.

What we are about – and what we’re not:

The Site spotlights the history of pink bathrooms and may feature inspiration images, stories from and about homes in the postwar era, relevant products, and related topics. We don’t endorse any particular manufacturer or business per se and may not have personal experience with the products discussed. The driving force behind the Site is a writer and homeowner turned avid researcher, not an interior designer or contractor.

You should do your own research before making any decisions about whether to buy the products or work with a particular business.

The Site features occasional “guest columns” by, interviews with, or suggestions from readers or others. The Site does not necessarily endorse their positions or advice.

In addition, the Site focuses on aesthetics and social history, and although it may occasionally feature a story about a restoration issue, the Site does not have a fix-it or DIY focus.

Renovating, remodeling and living in our midcentury and vintage homes can be gratifying, but please always remember, there can be safety and environmental hazards in the surfaces, layers, materials and products in our homes. Anything old, even New Old Stock, that you buy also may have issues. We all care very much about managing safety and environmental issues properly, so when moving into a home … when undertaking cleaning, repair, remodeling or restoration projects … or when adding old materials (salvaged, used, new old stock, etc.)… be sure to get with your own properly licensed professionals to determine what you are dealing with/working with so that you can make informed decisions how to handle, become familiar with and use recommended best practices, and also learn about the proper disposal of debris, etc. For more info, see the Be Safe / Renovate Safe page on our other site, RetroRenovation.com… and the EPA hosts a website on lead in the home and a website on asbestos in the home … etc.

Enjoy our Site, but do not lose track of your common sense.
