Disclaimer

Last Updated: December 11, 2025

Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using the services of Ellis Recovery LLC or the website at ellisrecovery.com.

1. General Information

The information provided on this website is for general informational purposes only. While we strive to keep the information accurate and up to date, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the website.

2. Insurance Coverage Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: We cannot and do not guarantee that your insurance will cover the cost of recovery services.

Insurance coverage for vehicle and equipment recovery varies significantly depending on:

  • Your specific insurance policy and provider
  • The type of coverage you have purchased
  • The circumstances of the recovery
  • Your policy’s deductibles, limits, and exclusions
  • Whether the incident is deemed covered under your policy terms

You are solely responsible for:

  • Contacting your insurance provider directly to verify coverage
  • Understanding your policy terms and limitations
  • Paying any amounts not covered by your insurance, including deductibles
  • Paying the full cost of recovery if your insurance denies the claim

We are happy to work with your insurance company and provide necessary documentation, but we cannot guarantee payment or coverage from any insurance provider.

3. Our 100% Recovery Success Rate

Ellis Recovery LLC has maintained a 100% success rate for completed recoveries since 2006. We are proud of this track record and stand behind our expertise.

However, please note:

  • We reserve the right to assess each situation and determine if a recovery is feasible before beginning work
  • Safety is our top priority, and we may decline or postpone a recovery if conditions are deemed unsafe
  • If we attempt a recovery and cannot successfully retrieve your vehicle or equipment, we will not charge you for the attempted recovery
  • Our 100% success rate reflects our commitment to only undertaking recoveries we are confident we can complete safely

4. No Guarantee of Results

While we are highly experienced and well-equipped, every recovery situation is unique. We cannot guarantee:

  • Specific timelines for recovery completion
  • That your vehicle or equipment will be recovered without any damage
  • That pre-existing damage will not be discovered during the recovery process
  • Specific outcomes for insurance claims
  • Availability during extreme weather events or emergencies

5. Pre-Existing and Incident-Related Damage

Vehicles and equipment requiring recovery services have often already sustained damage from the incident that necessitated the recovery (breaking through ice, submerging in water, rolling over, etc.).

We are not responsible for:

  • Damage that occurred prior to our arrival
  • Damage caused by the incident that required recovery services
  • Mechanical or structural damage present before the recovery began
  • Damage resulting from delayed recovery or prolonged exposure to elements
  • Environmental factors such as freezing, water damage, or corrosion

Our recovery methods are designed to minimize additional damage, but some risk is inherent in recovery operations, particularly in challenging conditions.

6. Safety and Environmental Conditions

Recovery operations are subject to weather, ice conditions, water levels, terrain, and other environmental factors beyond our control. We reserve the right to:

  • Delay or postpone recovery operations due to unsafe conditions
  • Modify recovery methods based on changing conditions
  • Decline service if we determine the recovery cannot be performed safely

Response times may vary based on:

  • Weather conditions
  • Location accessibility
  • Equipment and crew availability
  • The complexity of the recovery situation

7. Pricing Estimates

Any pricing estimates provided are approximations based on the information available at the time. Final costs may vary depending on:

  • Actual conditions encountered during recovery
  • Equipment and resources required
  • Time needed to complete the recovery
  • Unforeseen complications or challenges

We will communicate any significant changes in estimated costs before proceeding whenever possible.

13. Geographic Limitations

While we service Minnesota and areas within a 250-mile radius of Bemidji, actual service availability depends on:
