These Terms and Conditions govern use of www.hayesassoc.com, operated by Hayes + Associates (“H+A,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

Website purpose

This website provides general information about H+A, our team, experience, and professional services.

Website content is provided for informational purposes. It is not legal or medical advice, a formal engineering or biomechanical opinion, or a substitute for analysis of the specific facts and circumstances of a matter.

You should not rely on website content to make decisions about a particular case without obtaining appropriate professional advice.

Inquiries and professional engagements

Contacting H+A by telephone, email, or website form does not establish a consulting relationship or professional engagement.

Any engagement requires H+A’s acceptance and a separate written agreement defining the scope of services and applicable terms. H+A may decline an inquiry or proposed engagement.

Submitting a deadline through the website does not mean H+A has agreed to monitor or meet that deadline. You remain responsible for applicable deadlines unless H+A expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

If a separate engagement agreement conflicts with these website terms regarding professional services, the engagement agreement controls.

Confidential and sensitive information

Please provide only a general description of your matter in an initial inquiry.

Do not send confidential, privileged, medical, or other sensitive information until H+A has confirmed the appropriate process for receiving it. Website forms and ordinary email should not be assumed to be secure channels for sensitive case materials.

Submitting information does not, by itself, create a confidentiality agreement or establish attorney-client privilege or any other legal protection.

Experience and case examples

Descriptions of prior work, case examples, qualifications, and experience are provided to illustrate H+A’s capabilities.

Each matter involves different facts, evidence, and circumstances. Prior work or results do not guarantee a particular opinion, finding, litigation outcome, or other result.

Ownership and permitted use

Unless otherwise identified, the text, graphics, photographs, illustrations, videos, logos, and other materials on this website are owned by H+A or used under license.

You may view the website for informational purposes. Except as permitted by applicable law, you may not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, display, or otherwise reuse website materials without prior written consent from H+A or the applicable rights holder.

Access to this website does not transfer ownership of any content or grant a license to use H+A’s name, branding, or other intellectual property.

For permission requests, contact inquiry@hayesassoc.com.

Acceptable use

You agree to use this website lawfully. You may not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or its systems.

• Disrupt website operation or introduce malicious software.

• Submit fraudulent, misleading, or unlawful material.

• Submit another person’s information without appropriate authority.

• Use website content in a way that infringes intellectual property or other legal rights.

Third-party links and content

This website may contain links to third-party websites or embedded content, including videos.

These resources are provided for convenience. H+A does not control third-party websites or services and is not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

Website availability and accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and useful website content, but information may contain errors or become outdated. We may change or remove content without notice.

To the extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that the website will be free of harmful components.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, H+A will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this website or its content.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. These website terms do not replace the obligations established in a separate professional engagement agreement.

Privacy

Please review our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and disclose information through this website.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The revised terms will be posted on this page with an updated date and will apply prospectively, subject to any notice or agreement required by applicable law.

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
