Terms of use
Last updated: August 11, 2026.
The short version
This site is a free planning tool plus optional affiliate links. It is not professional advice. Use it at your own risk and verify safety information with official sources.
No professional advice
Blackout First Fail does not provide medical, electrical, engineering, insurance, legal, or financial advice. Cost figures are rough planning bands, not quotes. First-fail narratives are based on your self-reported answers and simple ranking rules — not a home inspection.
Safety
Follow official guidance for food safety, emergency kits, and carbon monoxide. Never run a generator indoors, in a garage, or near open windows. If you have medical devices or medicines that need power or refrigeration, talk with your clinician or pharmacist.
Affiliate products
Third-party products linked from this site are sold by their own sellers. We do not guarantee results, fitness for a particular purpose, or that any product matches your situation. See the affiliate disclosure.
Intellectual property
Site copy, layout, and branding for Blackout First Fail are provided for this project. Official agency names and trademarks belong to their owners. ClickBank® is a trademark of Click Sales Inc., used by permission where required by their affiliate terms.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, this site and its operator are not liable for decisions you make based on the planner, checklist, cost bands, or third-party products — including food spoilage, property damage, injury, or purchase outcomes.
Changes
These terms may be updated when the site content changes. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised terms.
