Last updated August 27, 2026
These Terms of Service govern your use of the website at https://www.firstcarpentry.lat and the computer systems design, computer integrated systems design, integration, automation, data, security, and managed operations services offered by First Choice Carpentry, LLC, located at 155 E Center St, Orangeville, UT 84537-7754, United States. The website and the services described on it are developed and operated by the developer FirstCarpentry on behalf of First Choice Carpentry, LLC. Please read these terms carefully before you use our website or engage our services. By using our website or by accepting a proposal, statement of work, or service agreement, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1 Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing the FirstCarpentry website, submitting an inquiry through our contact form, or entering into any written agreement with First Choice Carpentry, LLC, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you are using our services on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms, and in that case the words you and your refer to the organization you represent.
If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use our website or our services. These terms form a legal agreement between you and First Choice Carpentry, LLC. They apply in addition to any separate written agreement that may exist between us for a specific project. Where a written service agreement contains terms that differ from these general terms, the specific agreement controls for the project it covers.
We may revise these terms from time to time, and the most current version will always be available on this page. Your continued use of our website or services after we post a revised version means that you accept the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
2 Our Services
FirstCarpentry provides computer systems design and related services and computer integrated systems design services. Our work spans system architecture, integration engineering, automation, data infrastructure, security and compliance, and managed operations. We help clients design technology that supports their business, connect the systems they already use, and operate the resulting environment with a high standard of reliability.
The precise scope, deliverables, milestones, and pricing for any engagement are defined in a separate proposal, statement of work, or service agreement that we prepare for each client. These general terms do not constitute an offer to provide any specific service, and no engagement begins until both parties sign the relevant written documentation.
We reserve the right to improve, modify, or discontinue any part of our website or service offering at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to inform clients who are under an active agreement before making changes that materially affect the services they receive.
3 Eligibility
Our website and services are intended for use by adults and by businesses operating in a professional capacity. By using our website or services you confirm that you are at least eighteen years old and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you are using the services on behalf of an organization, you confirm that the organization is validly formed and that you are authorized to act on its behalf.
We do not offer services to consumers in a personal capacity. Our services are provided to professional, scientific, and technical services organizations and to other businesses that require computer systems design and integration work. If you do not meet the eligibility requirements, you may not use our website or services.
We may verify the identity and credentials of prospective clients before an engagement begins, and we may decline to provide services where we have reason to believe that a proposed engagement is unlawful, deceptive, or otherwise inconsistent with our professional standards.
4 Accounts and Client Responsibilities
Some of our services require client access to portals, dashboards, documentation repositories, or monitoring tools. Where we provide access credentials, you are responsible for safeguarding them and for all activity that occurs under your accounts. You must notify us immediately if you suspect that any credential has been compromised.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information when you request services, and to keep that information current throughout the engagement. Timely decisions, complete information, and access to the systems and people we need are essential to successful delivery, and you agree to cooperate with our team in a reasonable manner.
We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by the unavailability of your staff, your systems, your vendors, or information required for our work. If a delay is caused by a failure to meet your responsibilities, the project schedule and any applicable pricing may be adjusted accordingly.
5 Acceptable Use
You agree to use our website and services only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with the operation of our systems or the rights of others. You may not use our website to transmit malicious software, to attempt unauthorized access to any system, to probe the security of our infrastructure, or to engage in any activity that could damage or overload our services.
You may not use our website to collect information about other visitors without their consent, to send unsolicited messages, or to impersonate any person or organization. You may not scrape, reproduce, or redistribute content from our website except as expressly permitted by these terms or by a separate written agreement.
We may suspend or terminate access to any portion of our website or services if we reasonably believe that your use violates these terms, threatens the security of our systems, or exposes us or our other clients to liability. Where practical, we will give you notice and an opportunity to correct the issue before any suspension takes effect.
6 Intellectual Property Rights
All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, design, and the underlying software, is the property of First Choice Carpentry, LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may view and print content from our website for your own internal business purposes, but you may not otherwise reproduce, modify, or distribute it without our written permission.
Intellectual property created by our team in the course of an engagement, including architectures, designs, diagrams, code, documentation, and configuration, is owned by First Choice Carpentry, LLC unless a written agreement states otherwise. In many engagements we grant the client a license to use the deliverables for the operation of the system we designed, and the terms of that license are described in the specific agreement.
You retain ownership of any trademarks, trade names, and business materials that you provide to us for use in an engagement. Your provision of such materials to us grants us a limited license to use them solely for the purpose of delivering the agreed services.
7 Client Content
During an engagement you may provide us with access to business records, source code, configurations, credentials, and other materials needed to perform our work. You represent that you own or have the right to use all materials you provide, and that those materials do not infringe the rights of any third party.
We will use client materials only for the purpose of delivering the agreed services and as otherwise permitted by a written agreement or by law. We will treat your materials as confidential and will apply the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy and in the confidentiality provisions of these terms.
You are responsible for the accuracy, legality, and integrity of the content you provide and of any content that your systems generate or store. We are not responsible for the content of your systems, and nothing in these terms makes us the owner or the custodian of your data beyond what is necessary to perform our work.
8 Fees and Payment
Fees for our services are set out in the applicable proposal, statement of work, or service agreement. Unless stated otherwise, fees are quoted in United States dollars and are exclusive of any applicable taxes, which will be added where required by law. You are responsible for paying all fees in accordance with the payment schedule in your agreement.
For project based work, we typically invoice at defined milestones. For managed operations and recurring services, we typically invoice monthly in advance. Invoices are due within the number of days stated in the agreement or on the invoice itself. If payment is not received when due, we may suspend work or the affected services until the outstanding balance is settled.
Expenses incurred in the performance of the services, such as travel, third party licensing, and hardware purchases, are billed at cost unless your agreement provides otherwise. If you dispute an invoice, you must notify us in writing within fifteen days of receiving it; otherwise the invoice is deemed accepted.
9 Project Scope and Change Orders
Every project begins with a defined scope that describes the deliverables, the schedule, and the fees. We work hard to plan accurately, but projects rarely proceed exactly as imagined. When you request a change that alters the scope of work, we will prepare a change order that describes the change, its effect on the schedule, and any adjustment to fees.
You agree not to withhold approval of a change order unreasonably when the change is genuinely required by the project. Work performed outside the defined scope without an approved change order may be billed on a time and materials basis at our then current rates.
If the project cannot proceed because of information or decisions that are missing for an extended period, we may treat the project as on hold and adjust the schedule and fees accordingly. We will always communicate clearly before such an adjustment is made.
10 Scheduling and Delivery
Schedules set out in our proposals are good faith estimates based on the information available when the proposal is prepared. We will use reasonable efforts to meet agreed milestones, and we will keep you informed of progress throughout the engagement. Actual delivery dates may vary as a result of factors outside our control.
Factors that can affect delivery include incomplete information, changes in scope, delays in your approval of deliverables, the performance of third party vendors, and the availability of specific personnel or resources. When such factors arise, we will work with you to revise the schedule in a practical way.
Nothing in these terms obliges us to meet a delivery date that becomes impossible or commercially impracticable because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, both parties will cooperate to find a reasonable alternative arrangement.
11 Warranties and Disclaimer
We warrant that the services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the written agreement. For a period of thirty days after acceptance of a deliverable, we will correct, at no additional charge, any defects that materially prevent the deliverable from meeting the specifications in the agreement.
Except for the warranties stated in this section, our website and services are provided on an as is and as available basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all other warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non infringement.
We do not warrant that our website will be available at all times or that it will be free of errors, and we do not warrant that the systems we design will be immune to all failures, security threats, or malicious acts. Technology always carries some risk, and our agreements define the level of protection we commit to for each system.
12 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, or interruption of business, arising out of or relating to these terms or the services, even if the party was advised of the possibility of such damages.
Each party aggregate liability arising out of or relating to an engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid or payable by the client under the specific agreement during the twelve months preceding the event that gives rise to the liability. This limitation applies whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, or any other legal theory.
The limitations in this section are fundamental parts of the bargain between the parties and they apply regardless of the form of the action. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, in which case those exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
13 Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless First Choice Carpentry, LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of your use of our website, your breach of these terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party.
This indemnification obligation covers claims arising from content you provide, from your failure to comply with applicable laws, and from unauthorized use of our deliverables or our systems. We will provide you with prompt notice of any claim, and we will cooperate reasonably with your defense of the claim.
We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification if you fail to provide an adequate defense. You will not settle any claim for which we are entitled to indemnification without our prior written consent.
14 Confidentiality
During an engagement, both parties may disclose information that is confidential or proprietary, including business plans, technical designs, source code, financial data, client lists, and other trade secrets. Confidential information is any information that is marked as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given its nature and the circumstances of disclosure.
Each party agrees to use the other confidential information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations under the agreement, to protect it with at least the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, and not to disclose it to any third party except to those who need to know it and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is publicly available through no fault of the recipient, information that was lawfully in the recipient possession before disclosure, information obtained from a third party without restriction, or information that must be disclosed to comply with law or legal process. These obligations survive the termination of the engagement.
15 Suspension and Termination
Either party may terminate an agreement for convenience by giving the written notice required in the specific agreement, typically thirty days. If the agreement specifies an initial term, termination before the end of that term may be subject to a termination fee that reflects the work already committed and the pricing structure.
Either party may terminate an agreement immediately upon written notice if the other party breaches a material term and fails to cure the breach within fifteen days of receiving notice, or if the other party becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, or is dissolved.
Upon termination, the client must pay all fees that have accrued through the date of termination and any non cancelable commitments we have entered into on the behalf of the client. We will return or delete client materials as directed by the client, subject to our legal retention obligations.
16 Third Party Services and Integrations
Many of our projects involve third party platforms, cloud providers, software vendors, and other external services. Such services are provided by their respective owners under their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their availability, performance, or behavior. Before using any third party service, you should review its terms and its privacy policy.
Where we integrate a third party service on your behalf, we will rely on the interfaces and documentation provided by that service owner. Changes made by a third party to its interfaces, pricing, or terms can affect an integration, and we will help you adapt when such changes occur, subject to the change order provisions of these terms.
You are responsible for complying with the terms of any third party services you use in connection with our work, including license restrictions and data processing agreements. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of third party service providers.
17 Governing Law
These terms and any agreement between you and First Choice Carpentry, LLC are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these terms.
The application of the laws of the State of Utah is chosen for the convenience of the parties and is agreed to because the principal place of business of First Choice Carpentry, LLC is located at 155 E Center St, Orangeville, UT 84537-7754, United States. You consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Utah for any dispute arising out of these terms.
If you are a government entity subject to the laws of another jurisdiction, the governing law and forum provisions of this section may be adjusted by the specific agreement to comply with your applicable law.
18 Dispute Resolution
We believe that most disagreements can be resolved through open communication. Before either party files any claim, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through direct discussions for a period of thirty days after written notice is given. During this period, both parties will continue to perform their obligations under the agreement.
If the dispute is not resolved through direct discussions, the parties agree to try mediation administered by a neutral mediator before commencing litigation. Each party will bear its own costs and an equal share of the mediator fees. Participation in mediation is a condition precedent to any lawsuit.
Any legal action arising out of these terms must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations and no later than one year after the cause of action accrues, except for claims that cannot be limited by law. Claims that are not timely filed are barred.
19 Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in our business, changes in the law, or improvements to our documentation. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and place a notice on our website so that you are aware of the update.
For clients under an active agreement, changes to these general terms will not alter the specific terms of a signed agreement unless the parties agree to the change in writing. General terms that apply to website use and to new engagements will take effect on the date they are published.
We encourage you to review these terms periodically. Your continued use of our website or services after we publish revised terms constitutes acceptance of those terms to the extent permitted by law.
20 Entire Agreement
These terms, together with any proposal, statement of work, service agreement, and change order that you sign, constitute the entire agreement between you and First Choice Carpentry, LLC regarding the subject matter of the engagement. They replace all prior discussions, representations, and agreements, whether written or oral.
No modification of these terms is effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party. Statements made in correspondence or on our website do not modify these terms unless they are confirmed in a signed writing.
Each party acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement or representation that is not set out in the agreement, and each party agrees that it will not have any remedy for any pre contractual statement or representation that is not included in the agreement, except in the case of fraud.
21 Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be interpreted, if possible, in a way that best reflects the intent of the parties while remaining lawful.
The failure of either party to enforce any provision of these terms, or to exercise any right, will not be deemed a waiver of that provision or right in the current or any subsequent instance. A waiver is only effective if it is in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver.
No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevents the further exercise of that right or remedy, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by these terms or by law.
