# AI Disclaimer

Source: https://meptools.com/ai-disclaimer/

> This AI Disclaimer explains how AI-assisted features on MEPTools.com should be used and reviewed. It applies to all users, including unregistered users, Free users, Pro users, Max users, and users of any future plan.

## 1. Purpose of AI-assisted features

MEPTools.com may provide AI-assisted features to support engineering workflows, including design recommendations and related explanatory support.

AI-assisted features are intended to help users review engineering parameters, calculation results, and design considerations more efficiently. They are not intended to produce final engineering conclusions, final design decisions, certified calculations, statutory submissions, authority-approved outputs, procurement instructions, construction instructions, or commissioning instructions.

## 2. AI providers

MEPTools.com may use OpenAI and/or other AI providers to deliver AI-assisted features.

MEPTools.com is responsible for selecting and configuring AI providers used within the service. The use of any AI provider is subject to the applicable terms, technical limitations, and service conditions of that provider, as well as the MEPTools.com [Privacy Policy](/privacy), [Terms of Service](/terms), and this AI Disclaimer.

## 3. Deterministic tools and AI-assisted outputs

Some MEPTools.com tools may use deterministic engineering formulas, rules, tables, or calculation logic. AI-assisted features are different from deterministic calculation engines.

Where AI is used, it may assist with explanation, interpretation, comparison, or recommendation based on engineering parameters and calculation results. AI-assisted text should not be treated as a substitute for the underlying deterministic calculation, the project specifications, applicable standards, local authority requirements, or the responsible engineer's professional judgment.

If an AI-assisted output appears to conflict with a deterministic calculation result, project requirement, authority requirement, code requirement, manufacturer data, or the judgment of a qualified professional, the user must not rely on the AI-assisted output without independent review and verification.

## 4. No final engineering conclusions

AI-assisted features on MEPTools.com do not provide final engineering conclusions.

AI-assisted design recommendations, comments, or suggestions are provided for support and review purposes only. They must not be treated as final sizing decisions, final compliance determinations, final risk assessments, final engineering approvals, or final authority-ready conclusions.

Final engineering responsibility remains with the user and the qualified professional responsible for the relevant project, design, calculation, submission, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, operation, or maintenance activity.

## 5. Professional review is required

AI-assisted outputs must always be reviewed, checked, and approved by a qualified professional before they are used for any engineering, commercial, safety, procurement, construction, commissioning, or statutory purpose.

Users remain responsible for:

- verifying all inputs submitted to AI-assisted features;
- checking all outputs against the applicable project requirements;
- confirming the correct standards, codes, regulations, and authority requirements;
- reviewing manufacturer data, site conditions, and project specifications;
- applying professional engineering judgment; and
- obtaining all required professional, client, consultant, contractor, authority, utility, and third-party approvals.

## 6. Standards, codes, and authority requirements

AI-assisted features may refer to engineering standards, codes, regulations, authority requirements, or common industry practice.

MEPTools.com does not guarantee that any AI-assisted interpretation of a standard, code, regulation, authority requirement, or industry practice is complete, current, project-specific, jurisdiction-specific, or accepted by the relevant authority having jurisdiction.

Users must independently verify all standards, codes, clauses, design criteria, submission requirements, and authority requirements using the official and applicable source documents for the project.

## 7. No authority, client, or third-party approval

AI-assisted outputs from MEPTools.com do not represent approval, acceptance, endorsement, instruction, certification, or confirmation by any authority, municipality, civil defense body, utility provider, client, consultant, contractor, employer, manufacturer, supplier, or other third party.

The user is responsible for obtaining all approvals, permits, no-objection certificates, design acceptances, inspections, and confirmations required for the relevant project or use case.

## 8. User inputs and AI processing

Users may submit engineering parameters and calculation results to AI-assisted features.

Users are responsible for ensuring that any information submitted to MEPTools.com is accurate, lawful, appropriate for the intended use, and permitted to be submitted under any applicable contract, employment obligation, project requirement, confidentiality obligation, or law.

## 9. AI training

MEPTools.com does not use user inputs or AI-assisted outputs to train AI models.

MEPTools.com does not authorize its AI providers to use user inputs or AI-assisted outputs submitted through MEPTools.com AI-assisted features for AI model training.

If MEPTools.com changes this position in the future, the applicable legal documents will be updated before that change is applied.

## 10. Restricted high-risk use

AI-assisted outputs must not be relied on as the sole basis for decisions or actions involving:

- life-safety systems;
- fire safety systems;
- emergency systems;
- hazardous installations;
- statutory submissions;
- authority submissions;
- construction execution;
- procurement orders;
- testing and commissioning;
- energization or operation of systems; or
- any situation where an error could result in injury, loss of life, property damage, operational disruption, legal non-compliance, or financial loss.

For these uses, AI-assisted outputs may only be used as supporting material and must be independently reviewed and approved by qualified professionals before any action is taken.

## 11. Relationship with other legal documents

This AI Disclaimer should be read together with the MEPTools.com [Terms of Service](/terms), [Privacy Policy](/privacy), and [Engineering Disclaimer](/engineering-disclaimer).

If there is any inconsistency between this AI Disclaimer and another applicable MEPTools.com legal document, the document that provides the stronger limitation, responsibility, restriction, or protection for MEPTools.com will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
