We may suspend or terminate access for violations.

7. Professional Responsibility; No Professional Relationship

The Service does not create an engineering, architectural, legal, fiduciary, contractor-client, or professional services relationship.

You acknowledge that:

• Outputs may rely on assumptions, defaults, or approximations
• Jurisdictional requirements vary
• Final responsibility rests with licensed professionals

Licensed Professional Responsibility

Where use of the Service informs work subject to professional licensure, you represent and warrant that:

• All final designs, calculations, and specifications are reviewed, approved, and sealed where required by a properly licensed professional
• The licensed professional remains the party in "responsible charge" under applicable laws
• The Service is not used as a substitute for professional review, peer checking, or quality control procedures

8. Calculators, Data, and Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy, the Service may contain errors, omissions, outdated references, approximations, or default assumptions.

Outputs may vary based on jurisdiction, inputs, and project-specific conditions.

You must independently verify all outputs before relying on them for design, procurement, fabrication, permitting, or construction.

9. No Reliance; Allocation of Construction Risk

You acknowledge and agree that outputs generated by the Service, including calculations, formulas, references, and assumptions, are NOT CONSTRUCTION-READY DELIVERABLES and are not intended to be relied upon as final, verified, or professional work product.

Outputs generated by the Service do not constitute "instruments of service," design documents, or professional deliverables under any industry standard or legal definition. Any incorporation of Service outputs into a user's work product does not alter the allocation of risk under these Terms and does not convert such outputs into Company-provided professional services.

The Service does not account for:

• Project-specific site conditions
• Local amendments or interpretations
• Means, methods, sequencing, or constructability
• Contractor pricing, scheduling, or procurement

All reliance decisions remain solely with you. The Service is only one of many tools that may inform professional judgment and does not replace it.

For the avoidance of doubt, any damages arising from reliance on Service outputs shall be deemed consequential damages, including costs incurred to revise, correct, reissue, or supplement drawings, specifications, models, calculations, submissions, or related work product, and are expressly excluded under these Terms.

The Company shall not be responsible for consequences arising from reliance on Service outputs without independent verification by a licensed professional.

10. Third-Party Materials

The Service may reference third-party standards, manufacturers, or websites ("Third-Party Materials").

We do not control or endorse Third-Party Materials and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, or compliance.

Reliance on Third-Party Materials is at your own risk.

11. Data, Availability, and Backups

The Service may be interrupted, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

You acknowledge that:

• Data loss or corruption may occur
• You are responsible for maintaining backups
• We are not liable for loss of User Content or project data

Once outputs are exported, downloaded, or shared, they are outside the Company's control, and the Company bears no responsibility for their use, modification, or interpretation.

No Duty to Update or Warn

We have no obligation to monitor, update, or notify you of changes to laws, codes, standards, or best practices that may affect prior outputs.

Previously generated results may become inaccurate over time and must be reverified before use.

12. Privacy

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect personal information.
