Terms of Use

1. Purpose of the Website

{{CITY}} Land Surveying provides information about land surveying services and helps connect property owners, buyers, lenders, builders, developers, and other visitors with licensed surveying professionals.

Information on the website may cover services including:

• Boundary Surveys
• ALTA/NSPS Surveys
• Lot and Closing Surveys
• Topographic Surveys
• Elevation Certificates
• Construction Staking
• Drone LiDAR Mapping
• Other land surveying and related services

The website is intended to help visitors understand available services and submit requests for assistance.

2. The Website Is Not the Surveyor

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, {{CITY}} Land Surveying does not itself provide the professional surveying services described on the website.

A request submitted through the website may be referred or provided to an appropriately qualified and licensed surveying professional. The surveying professional who accepts and performs a project is responsible for the professional services, field measurements, analysis, certifications, plats, reports, and other deliverables provided to the customer.

Using the website or submitting a request does not, by itself, create a professional surveyor-client relationship. Any professional relationship for surveying services is governed by the agreement established with the surveying professional performing the work.

3. Informational Content Only

Information published on this website is provided for general informational purposes.

Surveying requirements can vary depending on the property, location, intended use, lender or title-company requirements, project plans, municipal requirements, applicable standards, and other circumstances. Descriptions of survey types, processes, costs, turnaround times, standards, and flood zones are general and may not apply to every property or project.

Information on the website should not be treated as a substitute for a site-specific professional survey or other professional advice.

4. No Legal, Engineering, Title, or Other Professional Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes legal, engineering, architectural, title, real-estate, insurance, tax, financial, or other professional advice.

Information concerning property boundaries, easements, flood zones, FEMA maps, elevations, zoning, construction requirements, ALTA/NSPS standards, or similar subjects should be evaluated by the appropriate qualified professional for the specific property or project.

5. Survey Quotes and Requests

Submitting a quote or contact request does not constitute acceptance of a project or create a binding agreement to provide professional surveying services.

Any price, scope, schedule, turnaround time, or availability presented through the website or during an initial inquiry may be subject to confirmation by the surveying professional. Final pricing and project requirements may depend on property characteristics, survey type, site conditions, available records, required field work, project complexity, applicable standards, and the intended use of the survey.

A separate proposal, engagement letter, service agreement, or other written agreement may be required before professional services begin.

6. Information Provided by Visitors

Visitors are responsible for providing information that is accurate and reasonably complete to the best of their knowledge. This may include property addresses, project descriptions, contact information, survey requirements, and documents relating to a property or project.

Visitors must not knowingly provide false, fraudulent, misleading, unlawful, or unauthorized information, and should only submit documents and information they have the right to provide. Information submitted through the website is also subject to the Privacy Policy.

7. Communications

By submitting contact information through the website, you consent to being contacted regarding your request, project, quote, availability, scheduling, or other communications directly related to your inquiry. Communications may occur through telephone, email, or other contact methods provided by you.

Promotional communications may also be sent where permitted by applicable law. Commercial email communications are subject to applicable requirements, including applicable opt-out requirements.

8. Acceptable Use

The website may be used only for lawful purposes. Visitors may not:

• Use the website for fraudulent, unlawful, or abusive activities.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, servers, databases, or other systems.
• Interfere with website functionality, security, or operation.

9. Ownership and Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the original text, graphics, photographs, illustrations, logos, branding, page designs, software, and other materials appearing on the website are owned by or licensed to {{CITY}} Land Surveying or their respective rights holders. Such materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

Visitors may access and use website content for ordinary personal and informational purposes. No ownership rights are transferred by viewing or using the website.

Without appropriate authorization, website content may not be reproduced, republished, redistributed, sold, modified, or incorporated into another commercial product or website, except where a particular use is permitted by applicable law.

10. Trademarks and Branding

Names, logos, slogans, service marks, graphics, and other branding appearing on the website may be protected by trademark or other intellectual-property laws. Nothing on the website grants permission to use those marks without appropriate authorization.

Third-party names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

11. User Submissions

Visitors may submit project details, documents, questions, photographs, descriptions, and other information through forms or other communication channels.

You represent that you have the right to submit materials you provide and that the submission does not knowingly violate another person's rights or applicable law. Personal and confidential information submitted through the website is handled according to the Privacy Policy.

Visitors should not submit information that is unrelated to their request or that they are not authorized to disclose.

12. Third-Party Surveyors

The website may connect visitors with independent licensed land surveyors and other professionals. Those professionals may operate independently and may have their own businesses, contracts, fees, schedules, licensing requirements, insurance, and professional obligations.

The website does not control how an independent professional performs a project. Any agreement for professional surveying services is between the customer and the professional performing the work unless a separate written agreement expressly provides otherwise.

Information displayed on the website concerning licensing, experience, services, or geographic coverage should not replace verification appropriate to the specific project.

13. Third-Party Services and Links

The website may use or link to services operated by third parties, including hosting providers, communication platforms, analytics services, maps, scheduling systems, form providers, payment processors, or other technology providers.

Third-party services may have their own terms and privacy policies. {{CITY}} Land Surveying does not control the privacy practices, availability, security, content, or operation of independent third-party services, and use of a third-party service may be subject to that provider's separate terms.

14. Maps, Property Data, and External Information

Maps, aerial imagery, property information, geographic information, flood-zone information, coordinates, elevations, and other data displayed on the website may originate from public or third-party sources.

Such information may be approximate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for making a professional surveying, construction, title, insurance, or property decision. Official records and site-specific professional surveys should be relied upon where accuracy is required.

15. Website Availability

Reasonable efforts may be made to maintain the availability and functionality of the website. However, uninterrupted or error-free operation cannot be guaranteed.

The website may be temporarily unavailable because of maintenance, updates, technical problems, hosting issues, security measures, third-party service interruptions, or circumstances beyond reasonable control. Features, pages, services, or information may also be modified, suspended, or discontinued.

16. Accuracy of Website Content

Reasonable efforts are made to provide useful and current information. However, website content may occasionally contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or material that does not apply to a particular property or project.

Surveying standards, regulations, municipal requirements, FEMA information, lender requirements, pricing, and service availability may change. Important project-specific requirements should be verified with the appropriate licensed professional, governmental authority, lender, title company, engineer, architect, or other qualified source.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Except where expressly provided in a separate written agreement, no warranty is made that:

• The website will always be available.

• The website will satisfy every user's specific requirements.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or legal right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, {{CITY}} Land Surveying will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or relating to the use of, or inability to use, the website. This includes losses associated with website interruptions, reliance on general informational content, third-party websites or services, or information submitted through the website.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability to the extent such limitation or exclusion is prohibited by applicable law, or changes the professional obligations of an independent licensed surveyor under a separate agreement with a customer.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, a visitor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless {{CITY}} Land Surveying and its owners, operators, employees, contractors, and service providers from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from the visitor's:

• Violation of these Terms;
• Unlawful or unauthorized use of the website;
• Misuse of website content;
• Infringement of another person's rights; or
• Submission of information or materials that the visitor was not authorized to provide.

This provision does not require indemnification to the extent such a requirement would be prohibited by applicable law.

20. Copyright Concerns

{{CITY}} Land Surveying respects intellectual-property rights.

If you believe that material appearing on the website infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property rights, please contact the business using the contact information below with sufficient information to identify the material and explain the basis of the concern.

21. Electronic Records and Signatures

Electronic communications, forms, confirmations, and records may be used for ordinary business purposes. Applicable state law generally recognizes the validity and enforceability of electronic signatures and electronic records.

A separate agreement for professional services may contain additional requirements concerning electronic signatures, authorizations, records, notices, or project approvals.

22. Privacy

Collection and use of personal information are governed by the Privacy Policy, which explains information collection, cookies, communications, sharing, retention, security, and applicable privacy choices. The Privacy Policy and these Terms should be read together.

23. Accessibility

Reasonable efforts are made to make the website accessible and usable by visitors with different needs. Because website accessibility can depend on technology, browser settings, third-party components, and other factors, perfect accessibility cannot be guaranteed.

Visitors who experience difficulty accessing information or features are encouraged to contact the business for assistance.

24. Suspension or Termination

Access to the website may be restricted, suspended, or terminated when reasonably necessary to protect the website, its users, systems, or legitimate business interests. This may occur in connection with suspected fraud, abuse, security threats, unlawful activity, or material violations of these Terms.

Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination, including intellectual-property, liability, indemnification, governing-law, and dispute-related provisions, will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

25. Changes to These Terms

These Terms of Use may be updated from time to time. The current version will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date, and visitors are encouraged to review the Terms periodically.

Continued use of the website after revised Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a material contractual change, the appropriate process will be followed.

26. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the State of {{STATE}}, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another law is required to apply. Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive a right, remedy, or protection that cannot legally be waived.

27. Dispute Resolution

Before pursuing formal legal proceedings concerning the website or these Terms, the parties are encouraged to contact one another and make a reasonable effort to resolve the matter informally. No mandatory arbitration requirement is created by this section.

If the parties later enter into a separate written agreement containing an arbitration or other dispute-resolution provision, that agreement will govern the matters covered by it to the extent permitted by law.

28. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary. The remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by applicable law.

29. No Waiver

Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a permanent waiver of that provision or any other provision. Any waiver must be legally effective for the particular circumstance.

30. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy constitute the general terms governing use of this website. Additional terms may apply to specific services, professional surveying engagements, transactions, or third-party services.

Where a separate written agreement governs a professional surveying engagement, that agreement controls the professional relationship and services covered by that agreement.
