2. Informational Use Only

The content on this website is provided for general informational and marketing purposes only. It is intended to provide general information about Goettle, our capabilities, our experience, and the types of services we may provide.

Website content is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, project-specific engineering, construction, geotechnical, legal, safety, environmental, financial, or professional advice.

You should not make project, safety, engineering, construction, legal, regulatory, or financial decisions based solely on information available on this website. Any actual project, estimate, scope of work, schedule, service, recommendation, or professional opinion must be addressed through a separate written agreement, proposal, consultation, site review, or other appropriate project-specific process.

3. No Contract Created by Website Use

Your use of this website, submission of a form, sending of an email, or communication with us through the website does not create a contract, client relationship, contractor relationship, subcontractor relationship, engineering relationship, professional-services relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and Goettle.

Any engagement of Goettle’s services is subject to separate review, acceptance, and written agreement. Goettle is not obligated to accept any project, inquiry, request, or referral submitted through the website.

4. Contact Forms and Inquiries

The website may allow you to submit contact forms, service requests, project information, or other inquiries.

By submitting information through the website, you represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the right to provide it. You agree not to submit false, misleading, unlawful, confidential, proprietary, sensitive, or third-party information unless you are authorized to do so.

Submitting a form does not guarantee that Goettle will respond, provide services, accept a project, provide a proposal, or perform work. Any response from Goettle is for preliminary communication only unless and until a separate written agreement is executed.

5. Estimates, Proposals, and Project Information

Any descriptions of services, capabilities, past projects, project types, methods, equipment, locations, timing, outcomes, or results on this website are general in nature.

Actual project requirements, feasibility, cost, schedule, methods, risks, and results may depend on many factors, including site conditions, subsurface conditions, weather, access, permitting, design requirements, safety requirements, owner requirements, engineer specifications, regulatory requirements, labor and material availability, and other project-specific factors.

No website content should be interpreted as a binding estimate, bid, proposal, guarantee, warranty, representation, or commitment to perform any work. Binding terms, if any, will be set forth only in a separate written agreement signed or otherwise accepted by authorized representatives.

6. No Guarantee of Results

Any case studies, project descriptions, photographs, testimonials, or examples on the website are provided for informational purposes only. They may describe specific circumstances and may not represent typical, expected, or guaranteed results.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Project outcomes may vary based on site conditions, project scope, engineering requirements, third-party actions, weather, permitting, and other factors outside Goettle’s control.

7. Third-Party Referrals and Partners

If you submit an inquiry and Goettle cannot provide the requested service, if the request is outside our service area or scope, or if another company may be better suited to assist you, Goettle may refer your inquiry to a partner, subcontractor, affiliate, or service provider so they can follow up with you.

Any referral is provided for convenience and does not guarantee that the partner will accept the project, provide services, meet your requirements, or achieve any particular result. Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, Goettle is not responsible for the acts, omissions, services, statements, pricing, availability, or performance of any third-party partner, subcontractor, affiliate, vendor, or service provider.

Please review our Privacy Policy for more information about how inquiry information may be used or shared.
