Structural Disclaimer, Liability & Contact
7. Structural Elements & Engineering Disclaimer
Fox Drafting Studio does not provide structural engineering services unless explicitly stated in writing and accompanied by stamped structural drawings from a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng). Any structural information shown in drafting documents, including joist layouts, beam placements, lintel indications, footing suggestions, or framing notes, is provided solely as general recommendations for design coordination purposes. These elements must not be interpreted as engineered, approved, or sufficient for construction. If a plan set does not include stamped structural drawings, or does not explicitly state that structural engineering is included, all structural components must be reviewed, approved, and stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer before any construction begins. Fox Drafting Studio is not liable for any structural decisions, interpretations, or construction actions taken without proper engineering review.
8. Limitation of Liability
Fox Drafting Studio is not liable for:
• Delays caused by third‑party reviewers (including municipal permit offices)

Revisions outside the agreed scope may incur additional charges. Fox Drafting Studio reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance of updated Terms.
12. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of Alberta, Canada. If a dispute arises between you and Fox Drafting Studio, both parties agree to follow this mandatory dispute‑resolution process:
• Good‑Faith Negotiation – Both parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute through direct discussion.
• Mandatory Mediation – If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days, both parties agree to participate in mediation with a mutually agreed‑upon mediator located in Alberta. Mediation must occur before either party may file a lawsuit or pursue any court action.
• Court Proceedings (If Necessary) – If mediation does not resolve the dispute, either party may bring the matter before the courts of Alberta, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
