<div>
  <u>Scope of Calculations</u>
  <p>
    'Calculator' is defined as any or all components of software provided by IRC
    Wall Bracing LLC that perform computations for structural analysis. The
    scope of the Calculator's core functionality is limited to particular
    sections of R602.10 of the International Residential Code, R602.10 of the
    North Carolina State Building Code, and chapter SPS 321 of the Wisconsin
    Uniform Dwelling Code. The scope of the Calculator's engineered analysis is
    limited to particular sections of the National Design Specifications for
    Wood Construction (NDS), the Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM), and ASCE
    7-10 load combinations. The Calculator is not intended for use with
    structures that lie under the jurisdiction of other building codes.
  </p>
  <p>Properties checked by the Calculator include, but are not limited to:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>
      Amount of wall bracing required and provided for wind and seismic loads,
      if applicable
    </li>
    <li>Wind and seismic adjustment factors</li>
    <li>Proximity of Braced Wall Panels to Braced Wall Lines</li>
    <li>
      Minimum length of Braced Wall Panels, including partial credit when
      applicable
    </li>
    <li>
      Spacing between and number of Braced Wall Panels along Braced Wall Lines
    </li>
    <li>Mixing of wall bracing methods</li>
  </ul>
  <p>
    Properties that are not checked by the Calculator include, but are not
    limited to:
  </p>
  <ul>
    <li>Design considerations acting from story-to-story</li>
    <li>Cripple wall bracing</li>
    <li>
      End conditions of Braced Wall Lines (e.g. returns, hold-down devices,
      specific requirements for Seismic Design Categories D0, D1, and D2, etc.)
    </li>
    <li>
      Presence and capacity of hold-down devices and/or tension straps as may be
      required
    </li>
    <li>Connections</li>
    <li>
      Seismic analysis for "irregular" buildings as defined by IRC section
      R301.2.2.6.
    </li>
  </ul>
  <p>
    The output results of the Calculator are informative only and are not
    guaranteed for accuracy or completeness. Detailed results are provided so
    the designer and building official may review and confirm the accuracy of
    the wall bracing report as part of the plan review process. IRC Wall Bracing
    does not provide guarantees or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy
    or completeness of calculations or wall bracing reports due in part to the
    possibility of accidental or deliberate misuse of the Calculator, the
    possibility for variations in interpretation of the building code, the
    possibility of an unidentified bug in the Calculator, and the possibility
    that the Calculator is used for unorthodox structures that do not meet the
    intent of the wall bracing methodology of the building code. Please contact
    IRC Wall Bracing when questions or discrepancies arise concerning the
    contents of the report, especially if a calculation error is suspected. Any
    Calculator function specified as "beta" indicates the function is still in
    development and, though unlikely, carries increased risk of containing
    errors. By using the Calculator, the User agrees that IRC Wall Bracing LLC
    can not be held liable for the calculation outputs of the software including
    the contents of the wall bracing report.

<u>User Information</u>
<p>
  IRC Wall Bracing will not sell or distribute user information to third
  parties. Upon registration, user information shall be complete and accurate.
  IRC Wall Bracing reserves the right to terminate without refund user accounts
  where the user profile contains false or misleading information.
</p>
<u>User Content</u>
<p>
  Using the software requires uploading user content, namely structural plans.
  IRC Wall Bracing is not responsible for the quality or appropriateness of
  content uploaded by the User. IRC Wall Bracing will not sell or distribute
  content uploaded by the User. However, the User acknowledges that IRC Wall
  Bracing may feature the User's structural plans in publicly visible content,
  such as demonstration videos or marketing material.
</p>
<u>Appropriate Use</u>
<p>
  Attempts to undermine the stability or integrity of the Calculator may, at IRC
  Wall Bracing’s discretion, result in loss of access to the User’s account
  including any saved work and the forfeiture of any unused credits or the
  remaining term of a license. The User understands that the Calculator is
  primarily used for purposes related to structural safety and building code
  compliance, and that the deliberate falsification of any data produced by the
  Calculator may warrant civil and/or criminal penalties against the User in
  accordance with the law.
</p>
<u>Purchases</u>
<p>
  IRC Wall Bracing uses a third-party payment processing platform to manage
  transactions. Credit card information is not collected and is not stored by
  IRC Wall Bracing. IRC Wall Bracing assumes no responsibility for the security
  of payments when making purchases.
</p>
<p>
  All sales are final. All use of credits to redeem access to Calculator are
  final, beginning at the time of uploaded floor plan. Use of credit provides
  access to the Calculator for one floor plan for 120 days, after which time the
  floor plan will become unavailable. An expiration time period for unused
  credits is not in effect, however IRC Wall Bracing reserves the right to enact
  an expiration period no less than 90 days from date of purchase.
</p>
<u>User Access</u>
<p>
  The Calculator is not guaranteed to be available at all times. Server
  maintenance, updates, outages, and other disruptions may temporarily prevent
  access to the Calculator. In the event data is lost or corrupted, IRC Wall
  Bracing provides no guarantee of data restoration.

  IRC Wall Bracing reserves the right to change the terms of this User
  Agreement.
