Disclaimer & Indemnity

1. Nature of Service

ConstructLogic is provided for informational and decision-support purposes only. Output generated by the System is not, and does not constitute, professional legal advice, professional quantity surveying advice, financial advice, or professional engineering advice. ConstructLogic is not a registered professional service provider under the Quantity Surveying Profession Act, No. 49 of 2000, or any other professional regulatory body in South Africa or elsewhere.

The System is designed to assist construction professionals in managing their contractual obligations, generating draft notices, producing progress reports, and recording meeting minutes. These outputs are intended as drafts and starting points for professional review — not final documents ready for service without independent verification.

2. Acknowledgement of Contract Standards

ConstructLogic incorporates references to, and has been trained on, standard form construction contracts that are published works protected by copyright and owned exclusively by their respective publishers, as set out below:

• JBCC agreements — principally the Principal Building Agreement Edition 6.2, together with the Minor Works and Direct Contract agreements and the Nominated/Selected Subcontract agreements. Copyright vested in the Joint Building Contracts Committee NPC, a non-profit company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa. Editions are not interchangeable: the Series 2000 editions use an entirely different numbering scheme from Edition 6.x.
• FIDIC Conditions of Contract — the 1999 Red, Yellow and Silver Books, and the 2017 second editions of the same. Copyright vested in the Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils (FIDIC), an association incorporated under Swiss law and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The 1999 and 2017 suites renumber materially and are not interchangeable.
• NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract and related NEC suite documents — copyright vested in Thomas Telford Ltd, trading as NEC Contracts, a company incorporated in England and Wales.

ConstructLogic does not hold a copy of every form it can discuss, and it says so rather than implying otherwise. Where no source document is held, the System will give the contractual principle and the usual period but will not state a clause number. The Clause Reference in the product publishes exactly which forms have been verified against the contract text, which rest on published commentary, and which are held at all.

ConstructLogic is neither affiliated with, endorsed by, nor licensed by any of the foregoing publishers. No reproduction, distribution, or reliance on the text of these standard forms is authorised by this platform. Users are advised to obtain original, authoritative copies of the applicable contract documents directly from the respective publishers and to consult those documents in their entirety for all professional, contractual, and legal purposes.

3. Artificial Intelligence Limitations

The System uses artificial intelligence trained on historical construction contracts, clauses, and legal frameworks including JBCC, NEC4, and FIDIC. Despite this training, artificial intelligence is subject to known and inherent limitations, including:

• Hallucination: The AI may generate plausible-sounding but factually incorrect information, including fabricated clause numbers, dates, or amounts.
• Contextual misunderstanding: The AI may misinterpret the specific facts of your project, contract, or dispute.
• Clause misapplication: The AI may apply clauses incorrectly, particularly where contract amendments, special conditions, or non-standard provisions apply.
• Temporal obsolescence:The AI's training data has a knowledge cutoff and may not reflect recent case law, legislative amendments, or updated contract editions.
• Incomplete context: The AI works only with the information provided to it and cannot independently verify the accuracy of inputs or access original contract documents unless uploaded.

Errors are possible and occur despite precautions. No AI system is infallible.

3.1 What each answer is standing on

ConstructLogic labels every clause-specific answer with the basis it was produced from. The three bases are not equivalent, and the middle one carries the most risk:

• Your contract. You have uploaded your executed contract and the System has read it. Clause references are taken from your document. This is the strongest basis the System offers, and it is still subject to clause 4 below.
• The unamended standard form. You have selected a standard form but not uploaded your contract. Answers describe the published standard form. Most South African construction contracts are amended by a schedule of special conditions, and such amendments routinely shorten notice periods and time bars without changing the clause number. An answer on this basis may therefore be correct as to the standard form and wrong as to your contract. Do not treat it as a statement of your contractual position.
• No contract on file. The System has no verified contract. It will state general principle only and will not give a clause number. This is deliberate. Where the System declines to cite a clause, that is the correct professional answer, not a defect.

3.2 Improvement of the System from uploaded contracts

The System is improved continuously using the contracts and documents uploaded to it. This is how ConstructLogic becomes more accurate at reading South African construction contracts, and it operates at all times rather than as an optional setting.

What is learned across customers is limited to anonymous structural patterns — for example, that a particular standard-form clause is frequently amended to shorten a notice period. Your documents remain confidential: contract text, party names, project names, values and addresses are never exposed to another customer, and your documents are not supplied to any third-party AI provider to train their models. This is set out in full in section 6.2 of our Terms of Service and section 2.1 of our Privacy Policy.

Improvement of the System does not warrant its accuracy. A pattern learned across many contracts remains a pattern, not a statement about yours, and every limitation in clause 3 above continues to apply.

4. Your Responsibility for Verification

You are solely responsible for verifying all output generated by ConstructLogic with a qualified professional — being a registered Quantity Surveyor (Pr.QS), construction attorney, professional engineer, or other licensed professional — before taking any action based on that output. This includes, without limitation:

• Serving any formal contractual notice
• Submitting any claim, application, or demand
• Taking any action with contractual, legal, or financial consequences
• Relying on any clause reference, deadline, or calculation

The fact that ConstructLogic generated a document does not mean that document is correct, complete, or appropriate for your specific circumstances.

5. No Warranty

ConstructLogic is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:

• Warranties of accuracy or completeness
• Warranties of fitness for a particular purpose
• Warranties of non-infringement
• Warranties of uninterrupted or error-free service

Blue Diamond Capital Ltd makes no representations that the System will be free from errors, that defects will be corrected, or that the System or the servers that make it available are free from viruses or other harmful components.

6. Contractual Action and Indemnity

If you take any contractual action based wholly or partly on output from ConstructLogic — including but not limited to serving a notice, submitting a claim, making a payment demand, or taking any other action with contractual consequences — you do so entirely at your own risk and at your own expense.

You hereby indemnify and hold harmless Blue Diamond Capital Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, and affiliates (collectively, "the Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all:

• Losses, damages, claims, and liabilities of any nature
• Costs and expenses, including legal fees on an attorney-and-own-client scale
• Consequential, indirect, or economic loss arising from reliance on AI-generated output
• Any contractual action you take, or fail to take, based on the System's output
• Any error, omission, or misstatement in the output generated by the System

This indemnity survives the termination of your use of ConstructLogic and applies regardless of whether the Indemnified Parties were negligent.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Blue Diamond Capital Ltd shall not be liable to you or any third party for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages
• Punitive or exemplary damages
• Loss of profit, revenue, or anticipated savings
• Loss of contract or business opportunity
• Loss of data or goodwill

arising from or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, ConstructLogic — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our aggregate liability to you shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

8. Professional Advice Exclusion

Nothing in ConstructLogic — including any output, response, analysis, notice draft, report, or recommendation generated by the System — constitutes professional advice of any kind. Specifically:

• No output from ConstructLogic constitutes legal advice under the Legal Practice Act, No. 28 of 2014.
• No output from ConstructLogic constitutes professional quantity surveying advice under the Quantity Surveying Profession Act, No. 49 of 2000.
• No output from ConstructLogic constitutes engineering advice under the Engineering Profession Act, No. 46 of 2000.

If you require professional advice, you must engage and consult with a duly registered professional in the relevant field. Using ConstructLogic does not replace the need for qualified professional advice.

9. Compliance with Law

You remain solely responsible for ensuring that your use of ConstructLogic and any actions you take based on its output comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation:

• The Quantity Surveying Profession Act, No. 49 of 2000
• The Construction Industry Development Act, No. 38 of 2000
• The Legal Practice Act, No. 28 of 2014
• The Protection of Personal Information Act, No. 4 of 2013 (POPIA)
• The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, No. 25 of 2002 (ECTA)
• Any other applicable South African or international legislation

ConstructLogic does not guarantee that documents generated by the System comply with any applicable notice requirements, contractual provisions, or statutory obligations. This is your responsibility to verify.
