Terms of Service

1. About EngineeredIQ

EngineeredIQ is a software-as-a-service platform that helps engineers draft, validate and compile Functional Design Specifications and downstream control system artifacts, using structured data entry and artificial intelligence (“we”, “us”).

2. Acceptance

By creating an account or using the EngineeredIQ platform (including FDSIQ, ScaffIQ and the ScaffIQ Sequence Engine), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

3. Nature of the Service: AI Drafting and Compilation Tool

EngineeredIQ is an AI-assisted drafting and compilation tool only. It does not provide engineering advice, certification, compliance assessments or professional opinions. All content generated by EngineeredIQ must be reviewed, verified and approved by the engineer of record before it is used, distributed or relied upon.

4. Professional Responsibility

The subscriber is the engineer of record for all specifications, tag registers, I/O declarations and sequence code generated using EngineeredIQ. By downloading or distributing any EngineeredIQ-generated document, the subscriber:

• Confirms they have reviewed all AI-generated content
• Accepts professional responsibility for the accuracy of the document
• Acknowledges that EngineeredIQ is a drafting and compilation aid, not a substitute for professional judgement
• Confirms they hold the appropriate qualification or authority to issue such documents in their jurisdiction

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, EngineeredIQ is not liable for any loss, damage, claim or expense arising from the use or misuse of AI-generated content, including but not limited to errors in standards references, incorrect tag or sequence logic or omissions. EngineeredIQ’s total liability is limited to the fees paid for the Project giving rise to the claim.

6. Project-Based Billing

• Projects are billed once, per Project, in Australian dollars. Listed prices are GST-inclusive
• There is no recurring subscription
• No refunds once compilation has started on a Project
• These billing terms apply except where a refund, credit or remedy is required by the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law
• EngineeredIQ reserves the right to change pricing with 30 days notice

7. Data Ownership

You retain ownership of all data you enter into EngineeredIQ, including project information, specification data, tag registers and generated documents. EngineeredIQ does not sell or share your data with third parties.

8. Acceptable Use

EngineeredIQ may only be used by qualified engineers or their authorised employees for legitimate business purposes. You must not use EngineeredIQ to create fraudulent, misleading or non-compliant documents.

9. Data Retention

Projects are retained for 55 days after last access, with a warning at 35 days and again at 45 days. After 55 days of inactivity, the Project is deleted. Download your deliverables during that window. For account-deletion requests, backup retention and what happens to your data on cancellation, see the Privacy Policy, Sections 7a and 7b.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
