Terms
Contractor License Due sells two things at contractorlicensedue.com: a PDF checklist for a California contractor license renewal and, on the yearly plan, three reminder emails that follow it. There is no dashboard and no filing service behind this page.
Both plans deliver the same file. The checklist is the same six lines for every buyer, and none of it is calculated from the answers typed at checkout. Those answers set the clock on the reminder schedule; they do not change the PDF.
The one-time option costs $19 and covers this year's checklist. The yearly option costs $39 and adds reminders 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day before the last day of the month stored with the order. The PDF is emailed within 5 minutes of the payment callback, from support@contractorlicensedue.com.
Who may buy
Anyone 18 or older may buy the checklist. No contractor license, trade membership, or California address is required. The age limit is the only eligibility rule.
The sale is made to the person at the keyboard, not to a company account. When someone buys for a business, that person is the buyer, and the email typed into the form is where the file goes.
What the license to use the file covers
One purchase buys a license to read and use one copy of the checklist for your own renewal, for as long as you keep it. Printing it, saving it, and passing a printed copy to a bookkeeper on the same renewal are inside that license.
What the license does not do is move ownership of the text. Posting the PDF on a website, bundling it into a paid course, or handing it to a client as your own work are outside the sale. What the checklist contains is set out in six lines on its own page.
Resale, sharing, and misuse
Resale means offering the file, or a copy of it, to anyone else for money or something of value, and it is the one use the license does not allow. The file is licensed to the buyer for that buyer's own renewal, not to a client list, an office pool, or a resale channel.
A PDF cannot be recalled once it has been sent, so this limit is stated in words rather than enforced by a lock. Using the file outside these terms is outside what the sale covers, and it does not turn the checklist into advice, a filing, or a compliance certificate.
A digital good, delivered by email
What you buy is a digital good. Delivery is by email, normally within 5 minutes of the payment being marked paid, and there is nothing to ship, no tracking number, and no physical item to return.
Because the file arrives as an email attachment, the address typed at checkout matters, and a typo sends the PDF to a stranger. If nothing has arrived after a few minutes, check the spam folder before writing to support.
Which plan is charged, and how to change it
The pricing page opens with the yearly plan selected, and that selection is what a buyer is charged unless it is changed before the card is submitted. It is a default, not a condition: the one-time plan sits beside it and one selection moves the order. The yearly amount is $39 and covers the file and three reminder emails; the one-time amount is $19 and covers the file alone.
Either amount is the whole charge from this site. Neither includes, reduces, or takes the place of the fee a license pays to CSLB, and neither buys faster processing or an inside contact. What the checkout collects, and what happens to it afterward, is described on the privacy page.
The six lines are the whole product
Every order receives the same six-line PDF. It prints the fee table link with the number 800-321-2752, the sole-owner rows, the company rows, the C-10 difference, a statement that the file does not calculate a delinquent renewal, and a statement that this site does not renew the license. That list is the product; nothing else is delivered with it.
Because the file is fixed, an answer given at checkout cannot change it. The email is the delivery address, and the answers are used only to date the reminder schedule. No part of the sale turns the PDF into a form, a receipt, or a compliance certificate, and the disclaimer states the same limits from the other side.
Questions about an order, a plan, or a file go to support@contractorlicensedue.com, the single address on the contact page.
Accuracy, sources, and the read date
Pages here quote public sources and print the date each one was read. The fee table is copied from https://www.cslb.ca.gov/about_us/library/fees.aspx, read 2026-11-14, and every copied table carries that date in its caption so a reader can judge how fresh it is.
Fees, forms, and deadlines change, so a page read on one date can be stale on another. The rule is that the Board page controls: where this site and the Board disagree, the Board is right. Read the official link yourself before paying a government fee.
What this site is not
This site is not the Contractors State License Board, not a qualifier, and not a law firm. It issues no government form, gives no legal, tax, medical, or trade advice, and does not make a license compliant by itself.
Having the checklist is not the same as meeting a requirement. It is a page of reading that points at a row of a public table, and it cannot pick an entity type, choose classifications, or check a bond.
The government fee is separate
The Board charges its own fee for a renewal, and that money goes to the Board. This site never collects a government fee and never holds one for you, so the $19 or $39 is all that is paid here.
The table at https://www.cslb.ca.gov/about_us/library/fees.aspx, read 2026-11-14, shows $450 for an active timely renewal by a sole owner and $700 for a non-sole owner, with higher rows once a renewal is delinquent. Those amounts are paid to the Board, and the delinquent rows are worth reading before a late renewal is paid.
Refunds
The refund rule is short: 7 days from payment, if the file was not downloaded and no checklist or reminder email was sent. The refund policy explains what ends the window and how the yearly plan can be canceled.
Nothing on this page extends that window or creates a second one. Where the two pages differ, the refund page is the operative text, and each plan price is set out on the pricing page.
The liability limit, and how to reach the operator
If a renewal goes wrong, the Board charges a late fee, an inspection fails, a contractor bills you, or a form is rejected, this site is not liable for that loss. The checklist is a reading aid, and responsibility for the renewal stays with the licensee.
If a court finds this site liable for the checklist itself, the most it can owe for that purchase is what was paid: $19 or $39. That sentence caps a claim at the price of the document rather than at the size of the loss.
The operator of contractorlicensedue.com answers mail at support@contractorlicensedue.com, and that address reaches them about anything on this page. This page does not invent a company registration that is not stated elsewhere on the site.
Questions
Can a company pay for the checklist?
Yes. The buyer is the person at the keyboard, who must be 18 or older, and the file goes to the email entered at checkout. A company card does not change who holds the license to use the file.
Is the checklist a government form?
No. It is a PDF that points at a row of the public fee table and lists the phone number printed there. A government form comes from the Board, and this site does not issue one.
Does buying this renew my license?
No. Nothing here renews a license, and nothing here is filed with the Board. The renewal happens on the state online portal or by mail, and the checklist helps a reader understand the step.
What if the official page changed after you read it?
The Board page wins. Every copied table shows the date it was read, which is 2026-11-14 for the current one, and opening the link to read it yourself is part of the arrangement.
How do I ask about a refund?
Email support@contractorlicensedue.com within 7 days of payment, while the file is undownloaded and no checklist or reminder email has been sent. [The refund policy](/refund) has the rest.
