These Terms are intended to serve as a secondary reference document and supplement to any executed professional services agreement, proposal, letter of engagement, or contract between Pineland Engineering and a client ("Client"). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and a fully executed written contract, the executed contract shall govern and control in all respects. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to modify, limit, or supersede the terms of any signed agreement between the parties.

All professional services are performed in accordance with applicable Florida Statutes, including Chapter 481 (Architecture and Interior Design) and Chapter 471 (Engineering), and in conformance with the standard of care applicable to licensed professionals practicing in the State of Florida.

Services offered by Pineland Engineering include, but are not limited to: architectural design, structural engineering, MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) engineering, coastal engineering, life safety engineering, on-site inspections, full permit sets, engineering letters, and letters of opinion. The specific scope of services for any engagement shall be defined in the applicable proposal or executed contract.

Services described on this website are for informational purposes only and do not constitute an offer, guarantee, or commitment to perform any specific service at any specific price. Pricing, timelines, and deliverables are subject to change and are confirmed only upon execution of a written agreement.

Pineland Engineering agrees to perform all professional services with the degree of care, skill, and diligence ordinarily exercised by licensed architects and engineers practicing in the State of Florida under similar conditions and circumstances. This standard of care does not imply or guarantee a perfect result, and Pineland Engineering makes no warranty, express or implied, beyond this professional standard.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Pineland Engineering's total liability to any client or third party for any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising out of or related to the services provided — whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise — shall not exceed the total professional fees paid by the client to Pineland Engineering for the specific services giving rise to the claim.

In no event shall Pineland Engineering be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of business, or loss of data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

The Client is responsible for providing accurate, complete, and timely information necessary for Pineland Engineering to perform its services, including but not limited to: site surveys, geotechnical reports, existing as-built drawings, utility information, and any applicable regulatory requirements specific to the project location. Pineland Engineering shall not be liable for errors or delays resulting from incomplete, inaccurate, or untimely information provided by the Client or third parties.

All drawings, plans, specifications, reports, calculations, and other documents prepared by Pineland Engineering are instruments of professional service and remain the intellectual property of Pineland Engineering unless otherwise agreed in writing. Upon full payment of all fees due, the Client is granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use the deliverables solely for the specific project for which they were prepared. Reuse of documents for other projects or purposes without written consent is prohibited.

Payment terms for professional services are as specified in the applicable proposal or executed contract. Invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise stated. Pineland Engineering reserves the right to suspend or terminate services for non-payment. Accounts past due by more than thirty (30) days may be subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance, or the maximum rate permitted by Florida law, whichever is less.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services provided by Pineland Engineering shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If negotiation fails to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, the parties agree to submit the matter to non-binding mediation before initiating any legal proceedings. Any litigation shall be filed exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Lee County, Florida, and both parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

These Terms and any services provided by Pineland Engineering shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
