Terms of use

These terms

This website is operated by Webineering LLC, which you may also know as Webineering Group or simply Webineering. Using the site means these terms apply to you. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

They cover the website and nothing else. If we are working together, the agreement we signed governs that work, and where it differs from this page, it wins. What we do with information you give us here is set out in our privacy policy, and nothing on this page cuts that down.

Using this site

Read it, bookmark it, send it to a colleague. None of that needs our permission. What you may quote is in What is ours, below.

What we ask you not to do is a short list. Do not try to break into the site or into anything connected to it. Do not send it malicious code, and do not use the forms to send anyone else anything they did not ask for. Do not hammer it with automated requests to the point that it slows down for other people. Our robots file sets out which parts of the site crawlers may read. Do not present our material as your own or imply we endorse you when we have not said so.

If you do any of that, we may block your access to the site.

What is ours

The words, images, diagrams, code and layout on this site belong to Webineering LLC or to whoever licensed them to us. The Webineering name and logo are ours.

Quoting a reasonable extract with a link back is fine and we are glad of it. Republishing a page in full, or putting our material into your own marketing or proposals, needs our permission first. Ask and we will tell you what we can agree to. Some of the photography is licensed to us rather than owned by us, so it is not ours to pass on.

What you send us

What happens to an enquiry is described in the privacy policy, and those commitments hold whether or not we end up working together. Two things that page does not cover belong here.

Sending us a document does not by itself put a confidentiality agreement in place, however it is marked. We are careful with what you tell us because we said we would be, not because a header on a PDF obliges us. If you need a confidentiality agreement in place before you say more, ask, and we will work one out with you before you send anything. If you have already sent something and would rather we did not keep it, ask and we will delete it.

If you suggest something about this site, we may act on it. We are not going to owe you a fee for pointing out that a page is confusing.

This site is not advice

Everything here is general information about the work we do and how we approach manufacturing problems. It is not engineering advice for your plant, and it is not legal, safety or financial advice.

Your process, your equipment and your people are specific to you, and nothing written for a general audience can account for them. Do not change a running process on the strength of a page you read here. Advice you can act on comes from an engagement, in writing, after we have looked at your actual situation.

Links to other sites

We link out where it is useful. We do not control those sites, we do not check them on any schedule, and we are not responsible for what is on them. A link is not an endorsement of everything the other party says or does.

Availability and accuracy

We try to keep this site up, current and correct, and most of the time it is. We do not promise it will be available without interruption or free of errors. We may change, move or remove pages, and we may take it down for maintenance. If you find something wrong, telling us is the fastest way to get it fixed.

To the fullest extent the law allows, this site and everything on it is provided as it is and as it is available, with no warranty of any kind, stated outright or implied. Named specifically, because the law looks for the words: merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Put plainly, we are not promising the site is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, or right for whatever you have in mind.

Limits on our liability

This page is about the website. If we are working together, the liability terms in the agreement we signed govern that work.

For the site itself, and to the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising out of your use of it or anything you read on it. That covers indirect and consequential loss, and it covers lost profits and lost data, whether the claim is put as breach of contract, negligence, or anything else. Where the law does not allow us to exclude liability, our total liability to you for everything connected with this site is one hundred US dollars.

Nothing here limits our liability for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.

Changes to these terms

When they change, this page changes and the date at the top moves with it. Using the site after that means the new version applies. We are not going to email anyone about a wording fix.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute about this website or these terms goes to the state or federal courts sitting there and nowhere else, and both of us agree to that.

Getting in touch

Questions about these terms, or a request to use our material, go to contact@webineeringgroup.com. Anything about your own information goes to privacy@webineeringgroup.com. It reaches a monitored mailbox that a person reads.

For anything else, use the contact page.
