Legal Notice & Disclaimer

Last Updated: August 24, 2026

The information, services, assessments, recommendations, products, and other content provided by 1776 Ready are intended for general educational, informational, and household preparedness purposes only.

No Guarantee of Safety or Survival

Emergency preparedness involves circumstances that may be unpredictable and outside the control of 1776 Ready.

1776 Ready does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that any preparedness plan, Ready Score, recommendation, product, service, supply level, equipment, or action will prevent injury, property damage, financial loss, illness, death, or any other adverse outcome during an emergency or disruption.

No preparedness system can eliminate all risk.

1776 Ready Score™

The 1776 Ready Score™ and related assessments are proprietary preparedness-planning tools intended to help users identify potential gaps and organize household preparedness priorities.

The Ready Score is not a scientific prediction of survival, safety, risk, or emergency outcomes.

Scores and recommendations are based in part on information supplied by the user. Inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information may affect the usefulness of the assessment.

Users remain responsible for evaluating their own circumstances and determining whether recommendations are appropriate for their household.

Not Professional Advice

Information provided by 1776 Ready does not constitute medical, legal, financial, engineering, electrical, structural, emergency-management, or other licensed professional advice.

Users should consult qualified professionals when appropriate.

For medical emergencies, users should contact appropriate emergency medical services.

For official emergency instructions, evacuation orders, severe-weather information, or public-safety guidance, users should follow applicable federal, state, and local authorities.

Product Recommendations

1776 Ready may recommend, sell, source, or provide information regarding preparedness products offered by third-party manufacturers.

A recommendation does not guarantee that a product is suitable for every person, household, property, environment, emergency, or intended use.

Customers are responsible for reviewing manufacturer instructions, warnings, specifications, storage requirements, expiration dates, maintenance requirements, and safety information before using any product.

Products should only be used for their intended purposes and in accordance with manufacturer instructions.

Third-Party Products and Manufacturers

Certain products available through 1776 Ready may be manufactured, warranted, shipped, or supported by third parties.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, 1776 Ready does not manufacture those products and does not independently guarantee their performance beyond any rights provided by applicable law or manufacturer warranties.

Manufacturer names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

Food, Water, First Aid, and Emergency Supplies

Customers are responsible for properly storing, inspecting, maintaining, rotating, replacing, and using preparedness supplies.

Food and water products should be stored and used according to applicable manufacturer instructions and recognized safety practices.

First-aid products and preparedness information are not substitutes for professional medical care.

Individuals with medical conditions, dietary restrictions, allergies, disabilities, medication requirements, or other specialized needs should consult appropriate professionals when developing an emergency plan.

Backup Power, Generators, Fuel, and Equipment

Generators, batteries, power stations, cooking equipment, fuel-burning appliances, and similar equipment may present significant risks if improperly installed, stored, operated, maintained, or charged.

Customers are responsible for following manufacturer instructions and applicable laws, codes, safety requirements, and professional installation recommendations.

Fuel-burning equipment should never be used in a manner that creates an unsafe carbon-monoxide, fire, electrical, or ventilation hazard.

Household Responsibility

1776 Ready provides tools intended to support preparedness decisions.

Customers remain responsible for:

• Evaluating their household's individual circumstances.

• Maintaining emergency supplies and equipment.

• Monitoring expiration and replacement dates.

• Safely storing and using products.

• Maintaining evacuation and communication plans.

• Following official emergency alerts and instructions.

• Seeking qualified professional assistance when appropriate.

Purchases and Spending Limits

Any merchandise spending preference, purchasing limit, or similar setting selected by a customer is subject to the applicable membership terms and purchasing authorization.

A selected monthly spending limit does not necessarily mean that the entire amount will be spent.

1776 Ready may determine that no purchase, a smaller purchase, or additional customer approval is appropriate depending on the circumstances.

Emergency Conditions

During an actual emergency, customers should prioritize instructions issued by emergency services, public-safety agencies, government authorities, utility providers, weather authorities, manufacturers, and other appropriate official sources.

Information provided through 1776 Ready should not be relied upon instead of an evacuation order, emergency warning, recall notice, or other official safety instruction.

Website Information

We attempt to provide accurate and useful information, but preparedness guidance, product availability, pricing, specifications, laws, recommendations, and emergency guidance may change over time.

1776 Ready does not warrant that all website information will always be complete, current, or error-free.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 1776 Ready and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar damages resulting from reliance on preparedness information, recommendations, assessments, products, or services.

Nothing in this notice excludes or limits rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Intellectual Property

The 1776 Ready name, branding, original website content, assessment methodology, Ready Score framework, graphics, and related materials may be protected by trademark, copyright, trade-secret, or other intellectual-property laws.
