Terms of Use

Island ClaimsEffective September 25, 2026

These terms govern your use of island.claims, lala.claims, and our messaging channels. By using the site or texting us, you agree to them. Effective September 25, 2026.

Who we are

Island Claims is a licensed Hawaii public adjusting firm (Hawaii Public Adjuster License #553921) representing property owners in insurance claims. Island Claims is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

Information, not advice

The guides, checklists, and answers on this site (including responses from our website chat assistant) are general educational information about Hawaii property insurance claims. They are not legal, financial, or insurance advice, are not a substitute for reading your own policy, and do not create a client relationship. Your rights depend on your policy, your facts, and current Hawaii law. A Complimentary Claim Review is a conversation with a licensed public adjuster; any representation begins only when you and Island Claims sign a written public adjuster contract that complies with Hawaii law.

No guarantees

We do not promise any particular result, settlement amount, or timeline. Where we mention past results, they are real past results and not a promise about your claim. Every claim is different.

Complimentary reviews

Our policy, claim, and damage reviews are complimentary. There is no obligation to hire us. Fees for representation, if any, are stated only in a signed written contract.

Text messaging (SMS) terms

When you opt in, Island Claims may send you text messages about your request and claim — scheduling, reminders, document requests, and status updates — and, if you subscribed, occasional Bulletin updates. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel at any time; reply HELP or call (808) 808-3778 for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Consent is not a condition of purchase or service. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.

Website chat assistant

Our website chat may be answered by an automated assistant. It can answer general questions and help you book a review, but it cannot evaluate your claim or give advice. Anything it says is subject to these terms. A licensed public adjuster reviews every request.

Acceptable use

Don't misuse the site: no scraping, no attempts to access other people's information, no uploading of malicious files, and no unlawful content. Files you upload must be yours to share.

Intellectual property

The Island Claims name, logo, guides, and site content are owned by Island Claims. You may share links and quote short excerpts with attribution; please don't republish our content without permission.

Third-party links and services

We link to government and other resources (FEMA, Hawaii Insurance Division, county agencies). We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content. Scheduling, chat, and messaging are provided through third-party platforms subject to their own terms.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Island Claims is not liable for losses arising from your use of the site or its information. Nothing in these terms limits duties we owe you under a signed public adjuster contract or Hawaii law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located in Maui County, Hawaii, unless the law requires otherwise.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the effective date at the top will change when we do. Questions: aloha@island.claims · (808) 808-3778 · Island Claims, 770 Haiku Rd 1171, Haiku, HI 96708.
