Terms of Use

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms; continued use after an update means you accept the revised version.

No engineer-client relationship

Using this website, submitting the contact form, or corresponding with us about a possible project does not create an engineer-client relationship and does not obligate either party to proceed.

Engineering services are provided only under an executed professional-services agreement and in jurisdictions where the firm and responsible professionals are properly authorized to practice. Until such an agreement is signed, we are not your engineer, we are not responsible for your project, and you should not rely on anything on this site or in preliminary correspondence as engineering direction.

No professional advice

Everything published here — service descriptions, project summaries, articles, guides, checklists, and FAQs — is general information for education and marketing. It is not project-specific structural engineering advice, and it is not a substitute for evaluation of your structure by a qualified, licensed engineer.

Structural behavior depends on conditions that general content cannot account for: as-built construction, materials, loading, deterioration, site and soil conditions, prior alterations, and the codes in force where the structure stands. Do not make design, repair, occupancy, or safety decisions based on this website. If a structure appears unsafe, contact emergency services and a qualified engineer.

Permitted use of the site

• You may view, download, and print content for your own informational, non-commercial use.
• You may not use the site unlawfully, or in a way that damages, disables, overburdens, or impairs it.
• You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site, its servers, or connected systems.
• You may not scrape, harvest, or use automated means to extract content or contact information except as permitted by our robots directives.
• You may not submit false information, impersonate another person, upload malicious code, or use the forms to send unsolicited commercial messages.

Information and files you submit

You are responsible for having the right to send us what you send. Do not submit information you are not authorized to share — including drawings, reports, or photographs subject to another party's rights or confidentiality obligations.

Information submitted through this website is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Do not send sensitive personal information or highly confidential material through the site's forms; wait until an appropriate transfer method is established.

Intellectual property

The content, design, text, graphics, and code of this website are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Our name, logo, and marks may not be used without written permission. Nothing here grants a license to any of it except the limited personal use described above.

Engineering deliverables prepared under a professional-services agreement are governed by that agreement's instruments-of-service, ownership, and reuse provisions — not by this website.

Project content and imagery

Project descriptions and images are published for illustration. They do not represent that similar results are achievable on any other project, and they may omit details for client confidentiality. [Confirm that every published project, image, and client reference has documented approval before launch.]

Third-party links

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. We do not control or endorse those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices.

Disclaimer of warranties

This website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or availability. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the site is free of harmful components. Codes, standards, and practices change; content may become outdated.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or business, arising from or related to your use of this website — even if advised of the possibility.

[Insert the firm's verified liability cap and any jurisdiction-specific carve-outs, reviewed by counsel and coordinated with the firm's professional-liability coverage. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so these limits apply only to the extent permitted.]

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Core Infrastructures Engineering, its owners, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of this website, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another party's rights.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of [Governing Jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or this website shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in [Venue / County, State], and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.

[Have counsel confirm the governing law, venue, and whether an arbitration provision, class-action waiver, or limitations period should be included.]

Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding this website. They do not modify any executed professional-services agreement, which controls the services it covers.
