Slipcurve›Terms of use
Terms of use
These terms govern the use of the Slipcurve software and this website. They are written to be read in one sitting, and the parts that matter most are the ones about what the software's outputs are and are not.
1. Parties
The software is licensed by Slip Curve LTD ("we") to the organisation named in the order ("you"). Contact: info@slipcurve.com.
2. Licence
For the term and the number of seats in the order, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the software for your own business. You may make copies for backup. You may not redistribute the software, offer it as a service to third parties, remove the notices it carries, or use it to build a product that competes with it.
3. Your data
Everything you enter or import stays yours. The software runs on your computer and sends nothing to us; we hold no copy and have no access. Our privacy notice states what is sent to third-party data providers when you switch networking on, and you are responsible for complying with each provider's terms for your use.
4. What the outputs are, and are not
The software computes schedules, simulations, quantities, costs, clearances, clash results, building-code checks against the standard you adopt, safety logs and forecasts from the inputs you give it. Every result carries its basis and says by name when a figure could not be produced. None of it is professional engineering, legal, safety or accounting advice. A code check is a check against the rules the software holds, not a permit; a clearance figure is a figure to verify, not a design; an OSHA log is a record you must review before you file it. The engineer, professional or officer of record decides, and you remain responsible for checking any output you act on. Where the software refuses to answer, the refusal is the answer: do not treat an absent figure as zero.
5. Warranty
The software is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it is free of defects, that every figure is correct, or that it will meet a particular requirement. Its behaviour is pinned by a published set of known-answer tests, and that is the whole of the assurance offered.
6. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, consequential or special loss, or for loss of profit, data or business, arising from the use of the software or reliance on an output, and our total liability under these terms is limited to the amount you paid for the licence in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
7. Term and termination
The licence runs for the term in the order. Either party may end it for a material breach that is not cured within thirty days of notice. On termination you stop using the software; your data stays with you, and the files you saved remain yours to open with any later licence.
8. Third-party components
The software ships with third-party components under their own open-source licences. Each ships with its licence text, and the list is available in the software. Use of the third-party data providers named in the privacy notice is subject to each provider's terms.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, and the courts of British Columbia have jurisdiction.
10. Changes
We may revise these terms for a new licence term. The terms in force for your term are the ones that applied when it began.
