These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of Scaffold Design Hub (the “Website”), operated by ISHIDA DESIGN OFFICE (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
1. Purpose of the Website
Scaffold Design Hub provides educational and informational resources concerning scaffolding planning, estimation, temporary works design, drawings, components, inspection considerations, and construction safety practices.
Unless expressly agreed in a separate written contract, the Website’s articles and general resources do not constitute project-specific engineering advice, an approved design, a construction instruction, or a professional engineering service. Any separately commissioned services are governed by their applicable agreement and scope of work.
2. Copyright and Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, original articles, photographs, diagrams, drawings, templates, and other materials created by ISHIDA DESIGN OFFICE and published on the Website are owned by ISHIDA DESIGN OFFICE or used with appropriate permission. Third-party materials remain the property of their respective rights holders.
Except where permitted by applicable law, an express license, or prior written permission, you may not:
- Copy, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of Website content.
- Sell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute Website materials.
- Present our original drawings, photographs, or technical resources as your own work.
- Collect or reproduce Website materials for inclusion in AI training datasets without authorization, except where permitted by applicable law.
Brief quotations, links, and other uses allowed under applicable copyright law are not prohibited by these Terms. When referencing our work, please identify Scaffold Design Hub as the source and provide a link to the relevant page where practical. These Terms do not restrict lawful search indexing or linking to publicly accessible pages.
3. Technical Information and Site-Specific Verification
Technical descriptions, sample calculations, drawings, checklists, and examples reflect the assumptions and information stated in the relevant material and may not be suitable for other projects or locations.
Actual scaffolding and temporary works design depends on site geometry, intended use, loading, equipment specifications, connections, foundations or supporting structures, erection sequence, environmental conditions, and other project-specific factors. Illustrative drawings and calculations must not be treated as construction-ready or approved documents.
Before using any information in design, erection, alteration, inspection, or dismantling work, users must verify current local laws, codes, standards, manufacturer instructions, and project requirements, and obtain review or approval from appropriately qualified professionals where required. Safety-critical decisions must not rely solely on Website content.
4. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and useful information, but Website content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its general informational content are provided “as is” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ISHIDA DESIGN OFFICE is not liable for losses or damages arising from reliance on the Website’s general informational content or from interruptions in access to the Website. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Users remain responsible for decisions and actions taken in connection with their own projects. This section does not replace or override obligations expressly accepted under a separate written professional services agreement.
5. Downloadable Resources and Paid Products
Downloadable PDFs, Excel templates, CAD files, checklists, and other free resources are provided for reference and educational purposes unless a specific resource expressly states otherwise. Users must check all formulas, dimensions, quantities, assumptions, compatibility, and outputs independently before use in any real project.
Free downloads may be corrected, updated, or withdrawn without prior notice. We do not guarantee that a file will work with every software version, device, or workflow.
Paid digital products, if offered, may be subject to separate product descriptions, license terms, payment conditions, refund policies, and support provisions presented at the point of purchase. Where those specific terms conflict with this section, the product-specific terms govern that product to the extent permitted by law. Purchase or download does not transfer copyright ownership unless expressly stated.
6. External Links
The Website may link to external websites, standards organizations, manufacturers, or other third-party resources for reference. We do not control their content, availability, security, or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily imply endorsement. Please review the applicable terms and policies of third-party websites before using them.
7. Prohibited Activities
When using the Website, you must not:
- Violate applicable laws or the intellectual property rights of others.
- Attempt unauthorized access to the Website, hosting systems, or associated accounts.
- Disrupt Website operations, introduce malicious code, or attempt to compromise security.
- Use forms or contact channels to send spam, fraudulent requests, or abusive messages.
- Misrepresent the origin, approval status, or technical suitability of Website materials.
8. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Website, our services, or applicable requirements. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. Updated Terms take effect when published, unless otherwise stated or required by applicable law. Continued use of the Website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
