Website and tool terms

A website enquiry does not create an appointment. Professional services begin only when scope, responsibilities, information, fees and terms have been agreed through the appropriate engagement.

General information

Pages and guides are provided for general information. They do not constitute building-control approval, planning advice, legal advice, product approval or a project-specific compliance conclusion.

Requirements vary by nation, building, date, methodology, approval route and project facts. Check the current primary source and obtain suitable advice before making a decision.

Online tools

Calculators and finders simplify selected inputs and may include assumptions. Outputs are indicative and must not be submitted or represented as a formal assessment, certificate or guarantee.

You are responsible for the accuracy of information entered and for checking whether a tool applies to the project. Do not use a tool where an error could create a safety risk without appropriate professional review.

Availability and changes

Briary may correct, update, suspend or remove website content and tools without notice. We aim to keep the service useful but do not guarantee continuous availability, freedom from errors or compatibility with every browser and device.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, website copy, design, code, data compilation and original materials are owned by or licensed to Briary. You may view and print reasonable extracts for personal or internal project reference.

You must not republish, sell, scrape at scale, remove notices, reverse engineer protected functions or present the tools or content as your own service without written permission. Rights in third-party standards, guidance, brands and linked material remain with their owners.

Acceptable use

Do not attempt to bypass access controls, probe security, disrupt the service, upload malicious material, use automated traffic that impairs availability or submit unlawful, confidential or unnecessary personal information.

External links

Links to government, standards, data or other third-party websites are provided for context. Briary does not control their availability, content or privacy practices and a link is not an endorsement of every statement or service on that site.

Liability boundary

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, Briary is not responsible for loss arising from reliance on general website content or indicative tool outputs instead of a commissioned, project-specific assessment.

Contractual responsibility for professional services is governed by the agreed appointment, not these website terms.

Governing law

These website terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory rights that apply to you. Courts with the appropriate jurisdiction may deal with disputes.

Information supplied through tools

The privacy notice explains the identifying project-header fields that may be retained when you produce a report or save/download from a supported tool. Supply only details you are entitled to provide and avoid unnecessary personal information. This recording does not turn an indicative tool output into a commissioned assessment or create a marketing subscription.
