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.
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, Terms of Service, and this AI Disclaimer.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
