These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to the TS Estimating Services website and the construction estimating, quantity takeoff, bid preparation, budgeting, value engineering, and related consulting services provided by TS Estimating Services (“TS Estimating,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By using our website, submitting a quote request, accepting a proposal, authorizing us to begin work, or paying for services, you agree to these Terms.
Our services are intended primarily for contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, cabinet shops, architects, developers, project managers, and other business or construction professionals.
By requesting or purchasing services, you represent that:
The information on our website is provided for general informational purposes. Website descriptions, examples, turnaround references, and service summaries do not constitute a binding offer or guarantee.
Submitting a quote request does not:
A project becomes binding only when the parties accept a written proposal, statement of work, order confirmation, or similar project document.
The following documents may apply to a project:
| Priority | Document |
|---|---|
| 1 | A mutually signed service agreement, if one exists |
| 2 | The accepted proposal, statement of work, or order confirmation |
| 3 | An approved change order or written scope amendment |
| 4 | These Terms of Service |
| 5 | General website descriptions and marketing materials |
If two documents conflict, the higher-priority document controls for the specific project.
The terms of a payment processor govern only the payment-processing service and do not replace the agreement between TS Estimating and the client.
A proposal may be accepted through:
Quotes and proposals remain valid only for the period stated in the applicable document. If no validity period is stated, we may revise or withdraw the proposal before acceptance.
Depending on the accepted scope, TS Estimating may provide:
The exact scope, deliverables, exclusions, assumptions, fees, and target schedule will be described in the accepted proposal.
We are not responsible for services or deliverables that are not expressly included in the accepted scope.
The client agrees to provide, in a timely manner:
The client is responsible for identifying the controlling version of project documents.
The client must promptly notify TS Estimating of:
Delays, omissions, inaccessible files, unclear documentation, or late revisions may result in additional fees, delayed delivery, or an inability to meet the requested bid deadline.
The client represents that it has the right and authority to provide all documents, plans, specifications, data, and other materials submitted to TS Estimating.
The client must not submit materials that:
The client grants TS Estimating a limited, non-exclusive license to access, copy, store, analyze, and otherwise use submitted materials solely as reasonably necessary to:
Unless otherwise stated in the proposal, the quoted fee is based on the documents and scope available when the proposal is prepared.
The following may require a revised fee or schedule:
We will use reasonable efforts to communicate material changes before performing significant out-of-scope work.
Any turnaround period shown on the website is an indication of potential availability and is not a guarantee.
The applicable target delivery date will be stated in the proposal or confirmed in writing. A delivery period generally begins only after we have received:
Delivery dates may change because of client delays, document revisions, addenda, technical failures, emergencies, events outside our reasonable control, or other circumstances affecting the scope.
Time is not of the essence unless the accepted proposal expressly states otherwise.
The client must carefully review all estimates, takeoffs, assumptions, quantities, exclusions, clarifications, and deliverables before:
Questions or suspected errors should be reported promptly and, where possible, before the client’s bid deadline.
When a substantiated error within the agreed scope is reported promptly, TS Estimating may use commercially reasonable efforts to review and correct the affected deliverable. This does not remove the client’s verification responsibilities.
Included revisions, if any, will be stated in the applicable proposal.
A correction of a substantiated error within the original scope is different from a client-requested revision or scope change.
Additional fees may apply when revisions result from:
Estimates and takeoffs are professional opinions prepared from the information available at the time of preparation.
Actual quantities and costs may differ because of factors including:
Unless expressly included in the proposal, TS Estimating does not perform:
Our deliverables are not stamped engineering or architectural documents.
TS Estimating does not guarantee:
The client remains solely responsible for the final bid, proposal, contract price, construction means and methods, procurement decisions, and project execution.
Fees and payment schedules will be stated in the applicable proposal or invoice.
Unless otherwise stated:
Payments may be processed through a third-party payment link. Payment-card information is entered directly into the processor’s environment and is subject to the processor’s terms and privacy practices.
We may suspend work when an invoice is overdue. Suspension may affect the delivery schedule and does not remove the client’s obligation to pay for work already performed.
A proposal may contain project-specific cancellation or refund terms. Those terms control over this section.
Unless the proposal states otherwise:
If the client cancels before substantive work begins, prepaid amounts will be refunded, less:
If the client cancels after work begins, the client is responsible for:
Any remaining unearned prepaid amount will be refunded after these charges are deducted.
A missed bid deadline caused by late documents, incomplete information, inaccessible files, revised plans, delayed responses, or another client-controlled circumstance does not automatically create a right to a refund.
If TS Estimating cancels a project without client breach, we will refund any prepaid amount attributable to services not performed.
Before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback, the client should contact us at contact@tsestimating.com so that we have a reasonable opportunity to investigate and resolve the issue.
A chargeback does not eliminate payment obligations for validly authorized and completed services.
The website, branding, text, graphics, layouts, original content, and website functionality are owned by TS Estimating or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may not copy, republish, sell, scrape for commercial republication, or create derivative commercial materials from the website without permission.
The client retains its rights in plans, specifications, documents, and other materials provided to TS Estimating.
TS Estimating retains ownership of its:
Unless the proposal states otherwise, after full payment TS Estimating grants the client a non-exclusive license to use the final deliverables:
The deliverables may not be sold as a standalone estimating product, republished as TS Estimating’s work for unrelated projects, or commercially sublicensed without written permission.
The proposal may provide different ownership or licensing terms.
Each party may receive non-public business, pricing, technical, project, or commercial information from the other.
The receiving party will use reasonable care to protect confidential information and will use it only for the relationship and project for which it was disclosed.
Confidential information does not include information that:
TS Estimating may provide confidential information to employees, contractors, and service providers who reasonably require access to perform or support the services.
We will not publicly identify a client or use an identifiable project as a case study without permission.
A separate nondisclosure agreement or confidentiality provision in an accepted proposal will control where it provides different or stronger protections.
Our collection and handling of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy.
By submitting information, you acknowledge that project and contact information may be processed by service providers involved in website hosting, forms, file storage, communications, analytics after consent, and payment processing.
Our website or service process may use or link to third-party services, including Google Forms, online storage, payment processors, and other technology providers.
We are not responsible for:
This provision does not limit our responsibility for choosing and managing service providers where applicable law imposes such responsibility.
You may not use the website or services to:
We may suspend or terminate access to the website or services when reasonably necessary because of:
Termination does not affect payment obligations or rights that accrued before termination.
Provisions concerning payment, intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution survive termination.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and services are provided on an “as available” basis.
Except for obligations expressly included in an accepted proposal, TS Estimating disclaims implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot legally be excluded.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TS Estimating and its owners, employees, contractors, agents, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages, including:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TS Estimating’s total aggregate liability arising from a particular project or service will not exceed the fees paid or payable to TS Estimating for the affected project.
These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory asserted and even if a party was advised that damages were possible.
The limitations do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability arising from fraud, willful misconduct, or another category that applicable law does not permit the parties to limit.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the client agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TS Estimating and its owners, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from:
This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from TS Estimating’s fraud, willful misconduct, or liability that cannot lawfully be shifted.
Neither party will be liable for delay caused by events outside its reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, utility failures, Internet outages, service-provider failures, cyber incidents, governmental actions, labor disruptions, illness, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, or similar events.
The affected party will use reasonable efforts to resume performance.
These Terms and any dispute arising from the website or services are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of:
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
You consent to receiving project, contractual, invoice, and service communications electronically.
Electronic signatures, email acceptance, online acceptance, and payment through an authorized payment link may be used to form an agreement and will have the same effect as a paper signature to the extent permitted by law.
You are responsible for maintaining an accurate email address and reviewing communications sent to it.
We may update these Terms prospectively by posting a revised version with a new “Last updated” date.
Updated Terms apply to website use and new projects after their effective date.
An update will not retroactively change the material commercial terms of an already accepted proposal unless:
These Terms and the applicable documents listed in Section 3 constitute the agreement concerning the relevant website use or service.
If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent, and the remaining provisions will remain effective.
Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.
The client may not assign a service agreement without our written consent. TS Estimating may assign an agreement in connection with a business reorganization, merger, sale, or transfer of substantially all relevant assets.
TS Estimating acts as an independent contractor. Nothing creates an employment, partnership, joint-venture, agency, fiduciary, or franchise relationship.
Unless an accepted proposal expressly states otherwise, no person other than the client and TS Estimating has rights under the agreement.
Section headings are provided for convenience and do not control interpretation.
