Terms of Service

Use of this site is on the terms below. They exist to be clear about what published guidance is and what it is not.

Information, Not Professional Advice

The content is general information, not a professional opinion on any individual job. A qualified professional assessing the property in person is the appropriate source for that, and their assessment takes precedence over anything written in advance.

Intellectual Property

The writing on this site is not free for reuse. A brief quotation with attribution and a link is fine, wholesale reproduction is not permitted.

Accuracy

The material is prepared carefully and still cannot be warranted as complete or up to date. No guarantee is offered that every statement is correct or current: codes are amended, products are discontinued, and prices move.

Third Party Sites

Where an outside site is linked, it is because it is relevant. It is not because it is vouched for: its content and conduct are its own responsibility.

Revisions to These Terms

These terms may be revised. Earlier versions are superseded rather than archived.

Use at Your Own Risk

Responsibility for how the information is used rests with the reader. No liability is accepted for loss or cost arising from acting on published guidance, to the fullest extent the law permits.
