    Terms of Service

    Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using CoverDad. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms.

    1. Agreement to Terms

    By accessing or using CoverDad's website and services ("Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access our Services.

    These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Services.

    2. Description of Services

    CoverDad provides:

    • Educational content about life insurance
    • Free coverage calculator tools
    • Informational guides and resources
    • Connections to trusted insurance carriers through our licensed agency partnerships

    Important: CoverDad is a licensed insurance agency. We connect customers with life insurance carriers and receive commissions on policies purchased through our agency relationships. We do not underwrite or issue insurance policies directly—policies are issued by the insurance carriers we represent.

    3. Eligibility

    You must be at least 18 years old to use our Services. By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

    4. User Responsibilities

    You agree to:

    • Provide accurate, current, and complete information when using our calculator tools
    • Use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms
    • Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Services
    • Not transmit any viruses, malware, or other malicious code
    • Not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services
    • Not impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation
    • Not use automated systems (bots, scrapers) to access the Services without permission

    5. Intellectual Property Rights

    5.1 Our Content

    The Services and their original content, features, and functionality are owned by CoverDad and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

    5.2 Your Use of Our Content

    You may view, download, and print content from our Services for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not modify, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works, or publicly display our content without prior written permission.

    5.3 Trademarks

    "CoverDad" and our logo are trademarks of CoverDad. Other trademarks, service marks, and logos used on our Services belong to their respective owners.

    6. Calculator and Estimates Disclaimer

    Our coverage calculator and cost estimators provide general educational information and estimates only. These tools:

    • Are not personalized financial or insurance advice
    • Should not be relied upon as the sole basis for insurance decisions
    • May not account for your unique personal circumstances
    • Do not constitute a recommendation to purchase any specific insurance product
    • Are subject to limitations based on the information you provide

    Always consult with a qualified insurance professional or financial advisor before making insurance decisions.

    7. Third-Party Services and Links

    Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services (including our partners Eleos Life, HoneyQuote, and ERGO Next) that are not owned or controlled by CoverDad.

    CoverDad has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. You acknowledge and agree that CoverDad shall not be responsible or liable for any damage or loss caused by your use of any third-party services.

    We strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party websites or services that you visit.

    8. Agency & Commission Disclosure

    CoverDad is a licensed insurance agency. When you purchase an insurance policy through our connections to insurance partners (including Eleos Life, HoneyQuote, and ERGO Next), we earn commissions from those partners. This is standard practice in the insurance industry.

    Our founder, Rob Lasa, is a licensed insurance agent with over 15 years of experience in insurance and financial services. CoverDad operates as a licensed insurance agency, not as an affiliate marketer or lead generation service.

    These commissions do not affect the price you pay for insurance policies—carrier premiums are the same whether you purchase through CoverDad or directly. Our commission-based compensation does not influence our educational content or calculator tools. We maintain our education-first approach and only connect customers with carriers we believe provide genuine value.

    9. Disclaimers
