6. Engineering and Technical Disclaimer
AI First Engineering materials are intended for education, exploration, research, and general engineering learning.
Engineering examples, calculations, software, simulations, AI-generated or AI-assisted outputs, and technical explanations may contain errors, simplifications, assumptions, or limitations.
They should not be treated as a substitute for independent engineering analysis, applicable codes and standards, testing, verification, validation, professional judgment, or the services of a qualified professional engineer where such services are required.
7. AI-Generated and AI-Assisted Content
Some AI First Engineering materials may be created, reviewed, analyzed, illustrated, coded, or refined with assistance from artificial-intelligence systems.
AI assistance does not imply that an AI system is the responsible engineering authority. Users remain responsible for independently evaluating technical information before relying on it.
8. Software, Simulations, and Applications
Software, browser-based tools, simulations, calculators, and other applications may be provided for educational and exploratory purposes.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, such tools are provided without warranty that they are error-free, continuously available, suitable for a particular engineering application, or appropriate for use in safety-critical, regulatory, production, or professional engineering decisions.
9. External Services and Links
AI First Engineering may link to external websites, AI platforms, repositories, software services, or third-party resources. AI First Engineering LLC does not control those external services and is not responsible for their availability, policies, security, accuracy, or content.
10. No Warranty
AI First Engineering materials and services are provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis to the extent permitted by law.
AI First Engineering LLC makes no guarantee that every publication, calculation, application, simulation, AI response, or other resource will be complete, current, uninterrupted, or free from error.
11. Limitation of Responsibility
Users are responsible for determining whether a resource is suitable for their intended purpose and for independently verifying engineering results before making decisions based upon them.
AI First Engineering LLC is not responsible for decisions, designs, calculations, implementations, losses, damages, or other consequences resulting from reliance on educational or technical resources without appropriate independent evaluation.
12. Changes and Updates
AI First Engineering materials, licenses, policies, and these Terms of Use may evolve as the platform develops.
Publications and technical resources may also be updated independently. Version and update information should be consulted where provided.
13. Permission and Licensing Requests
Organizations or individuals seeking permission for commercial, corporate, institutional, redistribution, republication, or other uses beyond the permissions described on this website should contact AI First Engineering LLC.

14. Status of These Terms
These Terms of Use express the current intended operating and educational-use framework of AI First Engineering LLC.
They may be refined following appropriate legal review as the platform expands into additional publications, software, AI agents, online learning, licensing, or commercial services.
