Terms of Service
Effective July 8, 2026 · PermitWright LLC
1. Who we are
“PermitWright” is a service of PermitWright LLC, a California limited liability company (“we,” “us”). Contact: uriel@permitwright.com.
2. What the service is — and is not
PermitWright provides code research and document preparation only. We are not an engineering firm and do not offer or perform professional engineering services within the meaning of California Business & Professions Code §6735 or otherwise. All engineering judgment, design decisions, and responsible charge remain solely with the licensed engineer of record or other licensed professional you designate. Nothing in a deliverable constitutes an engineering determination, a code-compliance determination, or professional advice, and no professional–client relationship is created.
3. Deliverables and your review duty
Deliverables are research drafts prepared for review, adaptation, and adoption by a licensed professional. You are responsible for independently verifying every citation, value, and statement before any use, submittal, or reliance. Items requiring professional judgment are flagged (e.g., “[EOR: …]”) and are deliberately not resolved by us.
4. No guarantee of approval
Permit issuance, plan-check outcomes, and review timelines are controlled by the authority having jurisdiction. We do not guarantee acceptance, approval, or any particular outcome.
5. Code currency
Research is prepared against the 2025 California Building Standards Code (including the 2025 California Fire Code) and the local materials identified in the deliverable, current as of the date stated on the deliverable. Codes, local amendments, fees, forms, and agency practices change; confirm requirements with the authority having jurisdiction at submittal.
6. Fees and turnaround
Fees and turnaround are agreed in writing for each engagement before work begins. No standing price list or turnaround commitment is currently offered.
7. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the project information you provide, and for ensuring that any use of a deliverable in engineering work occurs under the responsible charge of an appropriately licensed professional.
8. Intellectual property
Upon payment, you may use and adapt the deliverable for the project it was prepared for. We retain all rights in our templates, formats, and methods.
9. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
Deliverables are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, beyond the description in these terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to a deliverable or these terms is limited to the fees you paid for that deliverable, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.
10. General
These terms are governed by California law. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. We may update these terms; the effective date above reflects the current version. Questions: uriel@permitwright.com.
