Using Foundenza
Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using Foundenza, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
Purpose of Foundenza
Foundenza provides construction, material, measurement and cost calculators together with educational guides. The website supports early planning and general information. It does not provide engineering, architectural, surveying, legal, financial, safety or building-code approval services.
Calculator Results and Project Decisions
Calculator results are estimates based on the values you enter, the selected units, stated formulas and general assumptions. Results may differ from actual requirements because of site conditions, measurement error, waste, product dimensions, supplier rules, labour methods, taxes, prices, regional practices and local regulations.
You are responsible for checking all inputs, units, conversions and outputs. Before purchasing materials, starting work, submitting a bid or making a safety-critical decision, verify requirements with current product documentation and an appropriately qualified local professional or supplier.
Cost Estimates
Cost calculations are planning estimates only. Prices can change by location, currency, date, supplier, quantity, tax, delivery, labour, availability and project complexity. Foundenza does not guarantee quotations, market prices or final project costs.
Acceptable Use and Ownership
Permitted Use
Foundenza grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the public website for lawful personal, educational or internal business planning. You may print or download calculator results for your own project records.
You may not:
- copy, republish, sell or commercially redistribute substantial parts of the website, calculators or articles;
- remove copyright, branding or attribution notices;
- reverse engineer, bypass or interfere with security or access controls;
- use automated systems in a way that overloads, scrapes or disrupts the service;
- upload or transmit malicious code, unlawful material or deceptive requests;
- misrepresent Foundenza results as certified professional calculations.
Intellectual Property
The Foundenza name, website design, original text, calculator interfaces, code, graphics and other original materials are owned by or licensed to Foundenza and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party names and marks remain the property of their respective owners.
User Messages and Feedback
If you send feedback, corrections or suggestions, you confirm that you have the right to provide them. You allow Foundenza to review and use non-confidential ideas to improve the platform without an obligation to pay compensation. Personal information in your message is handled under our Privacy Policy.
Services and Third Parties
Third-Party Services and Links
The website may reference third-party products, suppliers, standards or websites. Those services are controlled by their operators. A link or reference does not automatically mean Foundenza endorses or guarantees the third party, its availability or its information.
Availability and Service Changes
We may add, change, suspend or remove calculators, content or website features. We aim to keep Foundenza available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation or continued availability of any specific tool.
Legal Terms and Liability
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Foundenza is provided āas isā and āas availableā without warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, non-infringement or uninterrupted operation. Rights that cannot legally be excluded remain unaffected.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Foundenza and its operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or business losses arising from use of, or reliance on, the website. This includes material shortages or overages, project delays, lost profits, property damage or decisions based on calculator results.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Indemnity
Where permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses or reasonable costs resulting from your unlawful use of Foundenza, violation of these terms or infringement of another personās rights.
Termination
We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect Foundenza, users, service providers or legal rights, including in response to abuse, automated attacks or a material violation of these terms.
Governing Rules
These terms are governed by applicable laws and mandatory consumer protections. Any dispute should first be raised through our contact page so that the issue can be reviewed informally. Nothing in this section removes rights or remedies that apply mandatorily in your location.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms when the website, its services or applicable requirements change. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised date. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.
