Terms of Service

Effective Date: 2024

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the engineering, design, and consultancy services (the “Services”) provided by AZE Engineering (“AZE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By engaging our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Scope of Services

AZE provides specialized engineering services, including but not limited to Building Information Modeling (BIM), precast engineering, façade engineering, and structural analysis. The specific scope, deliverables, and timeline for any project will be detailed in a separate, mutually agreed-upon proposal or statement of work (“SOW”).

2. Client Obligations

To ensure the successful delivery of our Services, you (“Client”) agree to provide timely and accurate information, project data, and access to relevant stakeholders as reasonably required. The Client is responsible for the accuracy of all information provided to AZE. Delays caused by the Client’s failure to meet these obligations may result in adjustments to the project timeline and fees.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

All pre-existing intellectual property shall remain the property of its respective owner. Upon full payment for the Services, AZE grants the Client a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use the final project deliverables (e.g., drawings, reports, models) for the specific project for which they were created. However, AZE retains ownership of all underlying methodologies, processes, proprietary software, and standard design elements. The BIM models and associated data created by AZE are instruments of service, and AZE shall retain all rights, title, and interest in them.

4. Payment Terms

Payment terms, including fees, invoicing schedule, and payment methods, will be specified in the SOW. Invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise specified. Late payments may be subject to interest charges at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AZE’s total liability for any claims arising out of or related to the Services shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client to AZE for the specific Services giving rise to the claim. In no event shall AZE be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. AZE’s liability is limited to the scope of services provided and does not extend to construction means, methods, techniques, or safety precautions, which are the sole responsibility of the contractor.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary or sensitive information disclosed during the course of the project. This obligation shall survive the termination of our engagement.

7. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates as applied in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be resolved through amicable negotiation. If a resolution cannot be reached within thirty (30) days, the dispute shall be finally settled by the courts of Abu Dhabi.

8. Amendments

AZE reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of any material changes. Your continued use of our Services after such notice constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
