Website Terms of Service

These Website Terms of Service govern e2.associates and website features operated by KR Evans 2 Design Group Ltd., operating as E2 + Associates (E2, we, us or our), including service lines offered under the trade name E2 Geomatic Services. They cover browsing, inquiries, subscriptions, registrations and, when made available, E2-branded submission, approval and automated compliance-checking features. By using the website after these terms have been made available, you agree to them to the extent permitted by law. Integrated Streetscape features require the additional acceptance described in section 9. If you do not agree, do not use the affected feature.

Your building plans, approval documents, colours and materials specifications and other original project materials remain yours or the relevant rights holder’s. We do not sell them. Permission to process them for requested services is not permission to publish them, supply them to competitors for reuse or exploit your proprietary information for unrelated business. These protections apply to free trials as well as paid services.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. Our Professional Terms of Service govern professional engagements when incorporated into an accepted proposal, estimate, agreement or other engagement document. Browsing or trying an automated check does not, by itself, create a professional engagement or a formal approval.

A signed engagement agreement or expressly accepted project-specific term takes priority for that engagement. The applicable Professional Terms of Service govern professional services; these website terms govern website use and the features within their scope. Our Privacy Policy governs our handling of personal information, subject to law and any stronger express engagement protection.

Ownership, no-sale, confidentiality and privacy restrictions limit every information-use licence under these terms. A general licence, feedback clause or third-party reference does not displace E2’s obligations. Section 9 addresses the Streetscape terms incorporated for integrated features, including the written provider protections E2 must secure. A client’s independently contracted provider service remains subject to its separately accepted agreement; these terms do not unilaterally amend that contract or grant rights you lack authority to grant.

Use the website lawfully. If you request services, accept an engagement or submit information for an organization, you must have authority for that action. The website is intended for business audiences. A person who cannot enter a binding contract may browse under appropriate supervision but may not bind another person or organization without authority.

Keep any credentials assigned for an E2 website feature confidential, use only your authorized access, and promptly tell us about suspected compromise. Separate platform credentials and account rules are governed by the relevant provider’s agreement.

The website provides general information about our practice, services, experience, events and ideas. It is not a project-specific approval, certification, guarantee of regulatory compliance, or substitute for an agreed professional assignment. Contact E2 to confirm the scope, current availability, fees and terms of a service.

Maps, examples, illustrations, renderings, demonstrations and automated outputs may contain errors or be incomplete or out of date. Do not use website examples as construction instructions or evidence that a particular property or design has been approved. Where E2 is engaged to provide professional services, the agreed standard and scope of those services remain governed by the engagement.

E2 and the relevant licensors retain their rights in website text, photography, designs, graphics, logos, software and other content, except for materials owned by clients or other third parties. You may view the website and make reasonable personal or internal business reference copies, retaining copyright and other proprietary notices.

Other reproduction, modification, commercial distribution, extraction or exploitation requires the relevant rights holder’s permission unless permitted by law. No ownership of website content, platform technology, client materials or professional deliverables transfers merely because it is displayed, submitted or accessed through the website. Trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

You retain your existing ownership and intellectual property rights in information and original materials you submit. Information belonging to another person remains that person’s information. Personal information remains subject to the rights and protections provided by applicable law.

For a submission you are authorized to make, you grant E2 a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to receive, copy, host, store, transmit, format, adapt, annotate, analyze and otherwise process it, combine it with lawfully obtained information, and create requested outputs. The purposes are responding to your request; assessing requirements and preparing quotations; arranging, coordinating, delivering and supporting requested services; administering the activity and its records; and the protected improvement activities below. The licence includes limited sublicences to authorized delivery and fulfillment partners for those purposes under equivalent confidentiality and use restrictions.

This permission enables us to lawfully handle protected materials for the requested work and does not transfer ownership. Optional uses requiring separate authority are not made a condition of an unrelated essential service.

The permission lasts only for the purposes and retention periods in our Privacy Policy and the applicable engagement. It gives no right to sell your plans or proprietary project information, disregard confidentiality, or retain personal information indefinitely. You must have the rights and legally required authority or consent for your submission and the uses explained to you. If you have concerns, contact support@e2.associates before submitting; we can explain the processing and whether another arrangement is available.

We treat non-public business, financial, technical and project information as confidential when identified as such or reasonably understood to be confidential from its nature or context. This includes building plans, drawings, approval documents, specifications, pricing, commercial terms, correspondence, review records and project strategies. No confidentiality stamp is required.

We do not sell your submitted building plans or other proprietary project information, or authorize our delivery or fulfillment partners to do so. We do not publish, rent, distribute or license identifiable proprietary information for another party’s unrelated commercial use, including competitors’ reuse, unrelated solicitation or public plan libraries. Controlled sharing for your requested service under sections 8 and 9 is permitted; it is not a right to trade your files as a data product.

E2 may use information for quality assurance, error correction, workflow design, service development, internal testing and benchmarking connected with our services. Access controls, minimization and appropriate separation or anonymization must protect against unauthorized disclosure or reconstruction and reasonably foreseeable competitive or other material harm. If those protections are inadequate, E2 must refrain from the affected use or obtain specific lawful authority for a clearly explained alternative that still respects confidentiality.

Genuinely anonymized and aggregated information may support broader research and service development only where neither individuals nor client-confidential information can reasonably be identified or reconstructed, including by combination with other information. Removing a name alone is insufficient. Public client examples, testimonials, plans and case studies require permission. Lawful compelled disclosure, reasonable safeguards and incident response are addressed in our Privacy Policy; we do not promise that no security incident can ever occur.

E2 may deliver services through employees, authorized contractors, technology providers and fulfillment partners, including Streetscape Real Estate Technologies Inc., geomatics and surveying providers, mapping and field-service providers, inspectors, technical consultants and other professional or service specialists. This applies to E2 Geomatic Services and other E2 service lines. We may obtain public records, mapping, imagery, licensed databases and authorized partner information for the work, subject to source rights and privacy requirements.

Where reasonably needed for a service you request or a referral you authorize, E2 may share contact details, requirements and confidential or proprietary project records with suitable partners to assess feasibility, scope work, prepare or follow up a quotation, arrange an introduction, plan and perform work, coordinate participants, invoice, provide support and maintain required records. Necessary information may include complete plans and technical files where extracts would not suffice. This permission covers the requested service opportunity and its fulfillment, not unrelated prospecting or unrestricted access to your other projects.

Before disclosure, a partner acting for E2 must accept written confidentiality, security, permitted-purpose, access, onward-disclosure and appropriate return or disposal obligations consistent with these terms. A partner may contact you about the authorized opportunity, but receives no permission to sell your files, reuse them for another client or add you to unrelated marketing. If a partner will contract directly with you or use information independently, E2 must explain its identity, role and purposes and obtain any additional authority or consent required before that transfer. E2 remains accountable for its own obligations and delegated processing.

An E2-branded feature may be powered by Streetscape Real Estate Technologies Inc. even though you remain on the E2 website and do not open a separate Streetscape-branded account. This includes drag-and-drop uploads of building plans, approval documents, colours and materials specifications and related files for automated compliance pre-checks, reports and follow-up services. Such files may be transmitted to and processed by E2, Streetscape and their authorized providers for the disclosed feature functions.

If you choose that feature, the Streetscape Terms of Service at https://www.streetscape.ai/terms/ and Privacy Policy at https://www.streetscape.ai/privacy/ are incorporated by reference for that feature, in the versions identified and made available before acceptance, as modified by the applicable written feature protections described below. Additional Streetscape product, AI, account or other legal terms apply only where expressly identified and made available for that feature. This reference does not itself enroll you in unrelated products, impose undisclosed subscriptions or token fees, or replace an E2 professional engagement. Browsing alone does not accept Streetscape feature terms.

Before any file content is sent, you must be able to review the linked, dated terms and a clear notice identifying the provider, information shared, purposes and material choices. E2 must obtain affirmative acceptance and any required privacy consent, preserve the accepted versions and record the acceptance. Selecting or dropping a file must not transmit its contents before this step is complete. Essential processing for the requested check must be distinguished from optional marketing or other optional uses.

E2 must secure an effective written arrangement accepted by Streetscape before enabling affected uploads. It must preserve client ownership and the no-sale, confidentiality, permitted-purpose, training and retention protections promised here and in our Privacy Policy, including excluding project files from any general submissions ownership assignment. Any conflicting standard licence, confidentiality priority, perpetual-use or other provision must be expressly reconciled for the feature and its data. These E2 terms alone do not amend Streetscape’s agreement or bind a non-signatory. If the required protections cannot be secured, E2 must not accept files for that processing.

Automated and AI-assisted tools can organize records, compare submissions, flag potential issues and draft outputs, but may make mistakes. A trial result is preliminary assistance, not a guaranteed compliance determination, permit, professional certification or formal E2 approval. Appropriate human review remains necessary within any separately agreed professional scope.

Confidential information may be processed only in approved environments with contractual protections. E2 must not authorize third-party public or generally available foundation-model training on identifiable confidential client information. Reusable training or fine-tuning datasets for E2 or its partners must be genuinely anonymized and screened against disclosure and reconstruction risk unless a separate written arrangement specifically authorizes the proposed use with required privacy authority. A general upload licence is insufficient. Questions or concerns should be directed to support@e2.associates before upload.

You must not use the website to mislead, defraud, harass, infringe rights, distribute unlawful material, submit information without authority, send unsolicited bulk messages, introduce harmful code, obtain unauthorized access, bypass access controls or interfere with security or availability.

Do not scrape, copy, reverse engineer or extract protected content, confidential information or non-public functionality without authority, or use automated activity that unreasonably burdens the website. These restrictions do not prohibit acts that applicable law expressly permits notwithstanding a contractual restriction.

Provide accurate information relevant to your request. Do not submit passwords, payment-card security details or unnecessary sensitive personal information through general inquiry forms. Designated project-upload features may accept confidential plans and specifications under the notices and protections in section 9. For another confidential submission or a special handling restriction, contact support@e2.associates to arrange an appropriate channel before sending it.

Submitting an inquiry permits a response about that inquiry; it does not automatically enroll you in unrelated marketing. Subscription and event communications are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable communications law. Any fees for a requested service or event must be disclosed through the applicable registration or engagement process. These terms do not impose professional-service fees merely for browsing.

Integrated Streetscape features are governed by section 9. Other links or embedded content may lead to independent services operated by others, whose separately applicable terms and privacy practices govern those independent services. A link is not a guarantee of their content or performance. Where E2 engages a provider to process information on E2’s behalf, the protections E2 promises here continue to govern E2’s use of that provider; E2 cannot avoid those obligations merely by describing it as a third party.

We aim to keep the website useful and accurate but may update, suspend or discontinue features. To the extent permitted by law, general website content is provided as is and as available, without a warranty of continuous availability, error-free operation or suitability for a particular project.

To the extent permitted by law, E2 is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss resulting from general website use or unavailability. This limitation does not reduce an express confidentiality or privacy obligation, govern liability under a professional engagement, or exclude a right or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Professional-service liability is addressed in the applicable engagement and Professional Terms of Service.

E2 may restrict website access reasonably necessary to address unlawful use, security threats or breach of these terms. This does not cancel an independent professional engagement or permit unlawful retention or disclosure of information. We may seek appropriate legal or equitable relief for misuse; any remedy remains subject to applicable law and court discretion.

Material changes to these website terms will be posted with an updated version and effective date at least 30 days before taking effect, unless an earlier change is reasonably necessary for law, security or a new optional feature. Changes apply prospectively. A posted update does not amend a signed engagement, override a stronger confidentiality promise or supply consent for a new purpose where separate consent is required.

Alberta law and the federal laws of Canada applicable there govern these terms, subject to mandatory protections applicable to you. The courts of Alberta have non-exclusive jurisdiction over website-use disputes. A professional engagement’s dispute process governs disputes under that engagement. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of later enforcement.
