Terms of Service
Welcome to grjpublicadjusters.com (the "Site"), operated by GRJ Public Adjusters Inc. ("GRJ," "we," "our," or "us"). By accessing or using this Site, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. About This Site
This Site is an informational website for GRJ Public Adjusters Inc., an Illinois licensed public adjusting firm (Lic. #3002993691). It describes our services, allows you to contact us, and provides general information about public adjusting and the insurance claim process.
2. Not Legal Advice
3. No Public Adjuster Relationship Without a Signed Agreement
Visiting this Site, sending an inquiry, calling, texting, or emailing us does not by itself create a public adjuster-client relationship. Under Illinois law, a public adjuster may only represent a policyholder pursuant to a signed written contract. Until you and GRJ have signed a public adjuster contract, no representation has begun and we do not act on your behalf with any insurance carrier.
4. Free Claim Review
We offer a free, no-obligation claim review to prospective clients. The free review is informational only and does not constitute legal or tax advice. After the review, you are free to choose whether to retain GRJ.
5. Fees and Compensation
If you retain GRJ, our fees are paid on a contingency basis as set forth in the signed public adjuster contract you receive. Under Illinois law, public adjuster fees on personal residences are capped at 10% of the insurance settlement. Fees, payment timing, and cancellation rights are governed entirely by the signed contract, which controls in the event of any conflict with information on this Site.
6. No Guarantee of Outcome
Insurance claims involve facts, policy language, carrier behavior, and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. We do not guarantee any specific settlement amount, timeline, or outcome. Any examples or descriptions of past claim work are for illustration only and do not guarantee similar results in your matter.
7. Use of the Site
You agree to use this Site only for lawful purposes. You may not:
- Use the Site in a way that violates any law or regulation
- Attempt to interfere with the Site's normal operation, security, or other users
- Reverse engineer, scrape, or extract data from the Site for unauthorized purposes
- Impersonate any person or entity, including GRJ or its representatives

You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Site content without our written permission, except for personal, non-commercial reference use.
9. Third-Party Links

This limitation does not apply to claims under signed engagement agreements, which are governed by their own terms.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold GRJ Public Adjusters Inc. and its officers, employees, and agents harmless from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of this Site or violation of these Terms.
