The site provides educational information and practical guidance based on common carpet damage patterns, staining, odor, and wear issues.

You agree to use CarpetDx solely for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not use this site to:

Reproduce, distribute, or republish any content without written permission from CarpetDx.

2. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on CarpetDx—including text, images, photographs, diagnostic frameworks, decision trees, illustrations, graphics, and design elements—is the intellectual property of CarpetDx or its content providers and is protected by copyright law and international treaties. The muted ochre accent color, warm gray palette, hand-drawn diagnostic symbols, and overall visual direction are part of our brand identity.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and use this content for personal, educational purposes only. You may not modify, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works based on any CarpetDx content without explicit written consent.

3. Diagnostic Information Disclaimer

CarpetDx provides diagnostic guidance and educational information to help you understand carpet problems and cleaning approaches. This information is not a substitute for professional assessment by a qualified carpet cleaning technician or carpet specialist.

The diagnostic pathways, before-and-after sequences, and treatment protocols on this site are based on common carpet damage patterns and industry best practices. However, every carpet, household, and situation is unique. Factors such as fiber type, carpet age, underlying moisture, structural issues, and specific environmental conditions may affect the accuracy of any diagnosis or the effectiveness of any recommended approach.

You use all information on CarpetDx at your own risk. CarpetDx does not warrant that any diagnostic guidance will correctly identify your specific carpet problem or that any recommended cleaning approach will achieve desired results in your particular situation.
    

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by German law, CarpetDx and its owners, operators, employees, and content providers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

Your use of or inability to use the CarpetDx website or its content.
Any reliance on diagnostic information, treatment recommendations, or guidance provided on this site.
Damage to your carpet, flooring, property, or belongings resulting from any cleaning approach you undertake based on CarpetDx guidance.
Loss of data, business interruption, or other economic loss.
Any third-party services, products, or technicians you engage based on information from this site.

This limitation applies even if CarpetDx has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

5. No Professional Relationship

Using CarpetDx does not create a professional relationship, contract, or obligation between you and CarpetDx. We are not your carpet cleaning service provider, carpet specialist, or professional advisor. If you require professional carpet cleaning, restoration, or expert diagnosis, you must engage a qualified, licensed carpet cleaning company or specialist in your area.
