Terms of Use

The short version: use CRI to make better decisions, cite us with attribution, and understand that education is not professional advice.

Effective:

These terms are a draft and have not yet been reviewed by counsel They describe the terms Commercial Roofing Intel intends to operate under, published openly rather than held back. They have not yet been reviewed by a qualified attorney. We would rather tell you that than present a draft as final.

Educational content, not professional advice

CRI content is educational. It is not engineering, architectural, legal, insurance, or financial advice, and it does not create a professional relationship. Roofing decisions depend on building-specific conditions that no publication can assess remotely — engage qualified professionals for decisions about your building.

Permitted use and citation

  • You may read, link to, and cite CRI content with attribution and a link to the source page.
  • You may not republish substantial portions, scrape at scale for commercial redistribution, or present CRI content as your own.
  • CRI datasets carry their own citation format, shown on each dataset page.

Accuracy

We maintain content under our Editorial Standards and fix errors under our Corrections policy. Content is provided “as is” without warranty; codes, standards, and market data change.

Intellectual property

The CRI name, site design, content, tools, and datasets are the property of Commercial Roofing Intel unless otherwise noted.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CRI is not liable for decisions made in reliance on educational content. See “Educational content, not professional advice.”
