The Application is intended solely as one tool among many that a qualified structural engineering professional may use in the exercise of independent professional judgment.
3.2 No Substitute for Professional Engineering Judgment
You acknowledge and agree that:
- (a) The Application is not a substitute for the education, training, experience, and independent professional judgment of a qualified licensed professional, and the responsibility for any engineering design, analysis, or professional work product that incorporates or relies upon Application Output rests solely and exclusively with the qualified licensed professional who seals, signs, or otherwise certifies such work;
- (b) All Application Output requires independent verification, validation, and professional review by a qualified licensed professional before being used in, relied upon for, or incorporated into any engineering design, analysis, construction document, or professional deliverable;
- (c) The Application does not and cannot account for all site-specific conditions, local amendments to building codes, unusual loading scenarios, project-specific requirements, or other factors that require professional engineering judgment; and
- (d) All engineering calculations are performed locally on your Device. Prose does not review, validate, verify, certify, or exercise professional engineering judgment over any Application Output. The Application executes algorithms; it does not practice engineering.
3.3 Building Codes and Reference Standards
The Application incorporates data, formulas, tables, figures, and methods derived from published building codes and reference standards (including but not limited to ASCE 7, IBC, and state-specific amendments). You acknowledge that:
- (a) Building codes and standards are subject to interpretation, local amendments, and periodic revision;
- (b) Prose makes commercially reasonable efforts to keep code-based data current but does not warrant that the Application reflects the most current version of any code or standard, or that such data is free from transcription errors;
- (c) It is your sole responsibility to verify that Application Output is consistent with the applicable codes and standards for the specific project and jurisdiction; and
- (d) In the event of any discrepancy between Application Output and the governing building code or standard, the governing code or standard shall control in all cases.
3.4 No Reliance by Third Parties
Application Output is intended solely for use by qualified structural engineering professionals operating the Application. No third party (including but not limited to building owners, contractors, government agencies, or members of the public) may rely upon Application Output as a basis for any decision, action, or omission.

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, or power, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, remedy, or power. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.
17.3 Construction
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction against the party causing the Agreement to be drafted.
