The client acknowledges and agrees that:

  • They are responsible for reviewing all STMATE deliverables prior to use

  • They must confirm scope suitability for their specific tender or pricing strategy

  • Final responsibility for pricing accuracy, scope coverage, and tender submission rests solely with the client

  • Documentation errors, omissions, or inconsistencies

  • Late-issued addenda, revisions, or clarifications

All outputs are provided strictly for estimating and pricing purposes.

​

6. Independent Service

STMATE is an independent estimating service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any tender portal, builder, consultant, or platform.

All documentation reviewed is interpreted independently for the purpose of quantity take-offs and pricing support.

​

7. Fees & Payment

  • Services are provided on a fixed-price, per-project basis

8. Licence, Use & Non-Exclusivity

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, STMATE deliverables are supplied on a non-exclusive, single-project licence.

STMATE may provide similar or identical take-offs for the same project to multiple clients. No exclusivity, tender protection, or pricing advantage is provided.

Deliverables may be used by the purchasing client for their own internal pricing and tender activities only and must not be:

  • Submitted under another company’s name

Each client remains solely responsible for their own pricing strategy, inclusions, exclusions, and tender submission.

In these instances:

  • Project information supplied directly by the client is not shared with third parties

  • STMATE does not resell or redistribute take-offs completed under direct client instruction

STMATE does not:

  • Share client identities, contact details, or pricing information

  • Disclose which contractors have purchased or accessed specific take-offs

  • STMATE is not liable for any indirect, consequential, or economic loss

  • This includes loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or tender outcomes

  • STMATE’s total liability is limited to the fee paid for the specific project
