Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the CivWright website, including any pages, forms and content we make available on it (the "Site"). The Site is operated by CivWright, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CivWright," "we," "us" or "our").

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of a government agency, company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.

2. What these terms cover

These Terms apply only to the public Site. Access to the CivWright software, pilots, pre-check services and any related deliverables is governed by a separate written agreement between CivWright, Inc. and the customer. If that agreement conflicts with these Terms, that agreement controls for the services it covers.

3. Using the site

You may use the Site for lawful purposes, such as learning about CivWright and contacting us. You agree not to:

• use the Site in violation of any law or regulation;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our systems or other users' information, or probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Site;
• interfere with or disrupt the Site, including by sending malware, spam or excessive automated requests;
• scrape, copy or harvest content or data from the Site by automated means, except as permitted by our robots.txt file for search engine indexing;
• submit false or misleading information, or impersonate any person or organization; or
• use the Site to build a competing product or service.

We may suspend or restrict access to the Site at any time, for any reason, without notice.

4. Information on the site

Content on the Site is provided for general information about CivWright. It is not legal, engineering, code compliance or permitting advice, and it does not create any professional relationship.

Examples on the Site, including sample pre-check records, correction notices, plan sheets, findings and addresses, are illustrative and do not describe a real project or jurisdiction. Statistics and third-party findings are cited to their sources; we do not guarantee their accuracy.

CivWright is an advisory pre-check tool. It does not approve or deny permits, does not submit applications to any government agency, and does not replace review by a jurisdiction's staff or by licensed professionals.

5. Information you send us

When you contact us or request a pilot conversation, you agree that the information you provide is accurate and that you are allowed to share it. We handle personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.

Please do not send confidential plans, permit packages or personal information about others through the Site. Any such materials should be shared only under a written agreement with us.

If you send us feedback or suggestions about CivWright, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use them without restriction or compensation to you.

6. Intellectual property

The Site and its content, including text, graphics, designs, logos and the CivWright name, are owned by CivWright, Inc. or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to view and use the Site for its intended purpose. You may share links to the Site and quote brief excerpts with attribution. All other rights are reserved.

7. Third-party links and services

The Site may link to third-party websites, such as sources we cite. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, policies or practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

8. Disclaimers

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, or that its content is accurate, complete or current.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CivWright, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless CivWright, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees and agents from claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms. This section does not apply to a government entity to the extent applicable law prohibits it from agreeing to indemnify.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and you consent to their jurisdiction. If you are a government entity whose governing law requires otherwise, the laws and venue required by that law apply.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page and change the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

13. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
