Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Neri Architects website and its associated online features.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the website.

1. About Neri Architects

Neri Architects provides architectural and related professional services, including services associated with residential, multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial projects.

Information available through this website is intended to provide general information about Neri Architects, our experience, projects, and services.

2. Website Information Is Not Professional Advice

Information presented on this website is provided for general informational and promotional purposes.

Website content should not be interpreted as architectural, engineering, construction, zoning, permitting, legal, financial, or other professional advice for a specific project.

Every property and project presents different conditions and requirements. Building codes, zoning ordinances, permitting requirements, site conditions, budgets, construction requirements, and other factors may affect a project.

You should not make construction, investment, purchasing, permitting, or other material decisions solely on the basis of information appearing on this website.

3. No Architect-Client Relationship Created Through Website Use

Visiting this website, submitting a contact form, requesting a consultation, sending an email, making an inquiry, or otherwise communicating with Neri Architects through the website does not, by itself, establish an architect-client or other professional relationship.

A professional engagement with Neri Architects is established only through an appropriate written agreement or other formal arrangement accepted by Neri Architects and the applicable client.

Until such a relationship has been established, information submitted through the website should not be treated as confidential project information unless otherwise agreed.

4. Consultations and Project Inquiries

The website may allow visitors to request consultations or submit information concerning prospective projects.

Submitting a consultation request does not guarantee that Neri Architects will accept a project or provide services.

We reserve the right to decline inquiries or projects at our discretion, subject to applicable law and professional obligations.

Any scope of work, fees, schedules, deliverables, responsibilities, or other terms associated with professional architectural services will be governed by the applicable agreement between Neri Architects and the client.

If an applicable professional-services agreement conflicts with these website Terms concerning the professional engagement, the professional-services agreement will control with respect to that engagement.

5. Project Images, Renderings, and Portfolio Content

The website may display photographs, architectural drawings, plans, renderings, illustrations, conceptual designs, or other materials relating to past, current, or proposed projects.

These materials are provided for illustrative purposes.

Designs, dimensions, finishes, landscaping, furnishings, site conditions, construction methods, and completed projects may differ from images or renderings displayed on the website.

The inclusion of a project in our portfolio does not constitute a representation that identical results can be achieved for another property or project.

6. Building Codes, Zoning, Permits, and Approvals

Building codes, zoning requirements, ordinances, permitting procedures, and governmental requirements vary by jurisdiction and may change over time.

Nothing on this website constitutes a guarantee that any particular project, design, permit, zoning request, variance, development proposal, or other application will receive governmental approval.

Any representations or responsibilities concerning permitting or governmental approvals for a specific project will be governed by the applicable professional-services agreement.

7. Online Payments

The website may provide functionality allowing clients or other authorized parties to make payments online.

By submitting a payment, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and that the information you submit is accurate.

Payments made through the website may be processed by third-party payment processors and may be subject to their additional terms and privacy policies.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, making a payment through the website does not modify the terms of an existing agreement, invoice, proposal, or professional-services contract.

Questions concerning payments, invoices, refunds, credits, or billing should be directed to Neri Architects.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

The website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites and services, including social-media platforms, payment processors, and other external resources.

These third parties operate independently from Neri Architects.

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, privacy practices, content, or services of third-party websites or services.

Accessing third-party resources is at your own discretion and may be subject to additional terms imposed by those third parties.

11. Website Availability and Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and useful website information, but we do not guarantee that all website information will always be complete, accurate, current, or error-free.

We may modify, remove, suspend, or discontinue website content or functionality at any time.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the website.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Neri Architects disclaims warranties regarding the website, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the extent such disclaimers are permitted by law.

Nothing in this section modifies warranties or obligations expressly contained in a separate written professional-services agreement between Neri Architects and a client.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Neri Architects and its owners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising solely from your access to, inability to access, or use of this website.

This limitation relates to use of the website and does not supersede liability provisions contained in an applicable professional-services agreement.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations of liability, so portions of this provision may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Neri Architects and its officers, employees, representatives, and affiliates from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, or expenses arising from your unlawful misuse of the website or material violation of these Terms.

15. Privacy

Your use of the website is also subject to the Neri Architects Privacy Policy.

Please review the Privacy Policy for information about how personal information may be collected, used, and protected.

16. Governing Law

These Terms and your use of this website will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Any dispute arising solely from use of this website will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts having appropriate jurisdiction in Illinois, unless applicable law provides otherwise.

Any dispute relating to professional architectural services will instead be governed by the dispute-resolution and governing-law provisions contained in the applicable professional-services agreement, if any.

17. Changes to These Terms

Neri Architects may update these Terms periodically.

Changes will become effective when the revised Terms are posted on this website, unless otherwise stated.
