05License terms

5.1 Tools (MTO Generator, STAAD-to-CAD, and similar)

On successful payment, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, single-organisation license to use the purchased tool for internal engineering work. Specifically:

You may install the tool on machines used by you or by employees of the organisation that purchased it, for that organisation’s internal engineering work.
You may not redistribute, resell, sublicense, lend, or share the installer or activation files with any party outside your organisation.
You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract source code, except to the limited extent that Indian law expressly permits and cannot be waived by contract.
The license is perpetual within the major version you purchased (e.g. v2.x). Major-version upgrades (e.g. v3.0) may require a separate purchase.

5.2 Ebooks

On successful payment, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to read the purchased PDF for your own learning. Specifically:

You may store the PDF on your personal devices.
You may not redistribute, share, upload to public or shared platforms, or sell the PDF.
You may not remove or alter copyright notices or attribution.
Quoting brief excerpts for academic or professional discussion with attribution is permitted.

5.3 Source code or accompanying scripts

Some products include accompanying source code or scripts (for example, EB-03 includes a code archive). The license described in 5.1 / 5.2 also covers these accompanying files — for personal study and adaptation in your own work, not for redistribution.

06Intellectual property

All content on the Site — text, graphics, code, ebooks, tools, brand marks — is the intellectual property of PARISHITH unless explicitly attributed otherwise. The licenses granted in Section 5 do not transfer ownership; they grant only the limited usage rights described.

07Engineering disclaimers

Read this section carefully before using any tool or applying any content from the Site. The disclaimers in this section are central to the agreement and govern how you may rely on the Site’s outputs.

The tools and ebooks on the Site are engineering aids intended to assist a qualified engineer’s judgment. They are not a substitute for professional engineering review, code-compliance verification, or any statutory certification.
Outputs — including drawings, MTOs, design recommendations, and calculations — must be independently verified by a qualified structural engineer for the specific project, jurisdiction, and applicable code before being relied upon for construction, design submission, or any other real-world application.
We make no warranty that outputs are free of errors, that they comply with any specific code or standard (IS, AISC, BS, EC, ASCE, or otherwise), or that they are fit for any particular purpose.
You alone are responsible for the engineering decisions you make based on the use of these tools or content. The author and publisher of this Site disclaim all liability for damages, losses, injuries, or claims arising out of such use to the maximum extent permitted by law.

08Warranties & limitation of liability

The Site, its tools, and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PARISHITH’s total liability arising out of or in connection with any product, content, or use of the Site shall be limited to the amount you paid for the relevant product within the 12 months preceding the claim.
We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or its products — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

09Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PARISHITH, its proprietor, and any associated contributors from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:

your use of any product or content from the Site;
your violation of these Terms;
your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual-property rights; or
any engineering decision you make in reliance on the outputs of any tool or content.

resell or redistribute any tool or content beyond the license granted in Section 5; or
reverse engineer or extract source code beyond what is expressly permitted by Indian law and cannot be waived by contract.

11Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated.
We may terminate your license to a tool or ebook if you materially violate these Terms. Termination does not entitle you to a refund unless covered by the Refund Policy.
Your obligations under Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 survive termination.
