Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service govern the use of the website found at https://www.alainhirsch.mom and any engagement of Alain Hirsch Construction Corp. for construction, remodeling, systems design or related professional services. By accessing the website, sending an enquiry or accepting a written proposal from the Company, a person agrees to be bound by these terms. A person who does not agree should not use the website and should not engage the Company for work.

These terms are intended to be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is handled, and with any written proposal, scope of work, contract or change order that applies to a specific project. If a project contract contains terms that conflict with these terms, the project contract controls for that project.

2. Parties and Operator Identity

These terms are entered into between the visitor or client and Alain Hirsch Construction Corp., a construction, remodeling and computer integrated systems design firm located at 1383 Redondo Ave Ste 101, Long Beach - 90804-2823, United States (US). The website is developed and maintained by Alain Hirsch Build on behalf of the Company. Throughout these terms, the Company refers to Alain Hirsch Construction Corp., and the terms we, us and our are used interchangeably with that name.

The Company operates within the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector, with an emphasis on Computer Systems Design and Related Services and on the application of computer integrated systems design to residential construction. The Company is not a law firm, an engineering firm, an accounting firm or a licensed design professional in every discipline. Where a project requires a licensed engineer, architect, surveyor or other specialist, the Company coordinates with such a professional and the resulting work is governed by that professional relationship.

3. Defined Terms

For clarity, the following terms have the meanings given here. Website means the pages and content available under the domain alainhirsch.mom. Visitor means any person who accesses the website. Client means a person or entity that has engaged the Company for services. Proposal means a written offer describing scope, price, schedule or deliverables. Scope of Work means the detailed description of the work to be performed. Change Order means a written amendment to an agreed scope, price or schedule. Deliverable means any document, drawing, calculation, report or physical work product supplied by the Company. Work product also includes documentation such as inspection records and closeout packages.

Content means all text, images, illustrations, code, styling and layout on the website. Personal information has the meaning given in the Privacy Policy. Applicable law means the laws that govern the relationship between the parties, as described in the governing law section of these terms.

4. Eligibility to Use the Website

The website is intended for use by adults who are at least eighteen years of age and who have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. By using the website, a visitor confirms that these conditions are met. The Company does not knowingly allow persons under eighteen to engage its services or to submit personal information through the website.

A visitor who accesses the website from a jurisdiction where the content or services would be unlawful does so on their own initiative and is responsible for compliance with local law. The Company makes no representation that the website or its services are appropriate or available in every location.

5. Permitted Use of the Website

The website is provided so that visitors can learn about the Company, review its services, evaluate its experience, and make contact about potential work. Permitted use includes reading the public pages, printing a single copy of a page for personal reference, and contacting the Company through the published channels. Any other use requires the prior written permission of the Company.

Visitors may link to the homepage or to any public page of the website in a reasonable and non-deceptive manner. The Company asks that links not suggest sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation unless such a relationship exists in writing. Framing the website within another site, or mirroring content in a way that misrepresents its origin, is not permitted.

6. Prohibited Conduct

Visitors agree not to misuse the website or interfere with its operation. The following activities are prohibited.

• Attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of the website, its servers or its underlying infrastructure.
• Introducing viruses, malware, automated scraping tools, denial of service traffic or any other harmful code.
• Copying, reproducing, republishing or redistributing substantial portions of the content without written permission.
• Using the website to transmit unlawful, threatening, defamatory, obscene or misleading material.
• Impersonating the Company, its personnel or any other person, or falsely claiming an affiliation.
• Harvesting contact details for unsolicited marketing, spam or any commercial purpose unrelated to the Company.
• Interfering with security features, access controls or content protections on the website.

The Company reserves the right to investigate suspected misuse, to block access where appropriate, and to report unlawful activity to the relevant authorities. Misuse may also result in civil liability under applicable law.

7. Informational Purpose Only

The content on this website is provided for general information about the Company and its services. It is not professional advice for a specific property, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for a site investigation, a structural assessment, a permit review or a written proposal. Construction conditions vary from property to property, and a statement that is accurate for one home may be inaccurate for another.

Nothing on the website constitutes engineering, architectural, legal, tax or financial advice. A visitor who needs such advice should consult a qualified professional. The Company is glad to recommend specialists where appropriate and to coordinate their work with a project, but the Company does not assume the professional responsibility of those disciplines.

8. Estimates, Proposals and Quotes

Prices shown on the website, if any, are general ranges and do not constitute an offer. A binding price exists only when the Company issues a written proposal that is accepted by the client in the manner described in that proposal. Estimates are based on the information available at the time and on the assumptions stated in the proposal.

Construction pricing depends on material costs, labor availability, site access, hidden conditions, permit requirements and market volatility. A written proposal will state how long the price remains valid, what assumptions it relies upon, and how changes will be priced. Verbal estimates and preliminary figures are provided as a courtesy and are not binding on the Company.

9. Construction Services and Scopes of Work

The Company provides residential construction and remodeling services, including custom home additions, structural framing packages, kitchen and bath renovations, concrete and foundation work, roofing and waterproofing, and permit and code compliance support. Every engagement is defined by a written Scope of Work that identifies what will be built, what materials will be used, what the schedule expects, and what the client is responsible for providing.

Work proceeds in phases that commonly include survey, design and permit, construction and inspection, and finish and handover. The Company will perform the work with reasonable skill and care and in a professional manner consistent with industry practice in the Long Beach area. The client agrees to make decisions and selections in a timely manner, because delay in selection commonly delays construction and can affect pricing.

The Company may engage qualified subcontractors and suppliers for specialized portions of the work. The Company remains responsible for coordinating those parties and for the overall performance of the agreed scope, unless the written proposal states that a portion of the work is managed directly by the client.

10. Change Orders and Site Conditions

Construction frequently reveals conditions that were not visible or reasonably foreseeable at the time of the proposal, especially in older homes. When such conditions are discovered, the Company will notify the client, describe the options, and provide pricing for the additional work. No additional work is performed under an adjusted price until a written Change Order is approved by the client.

A Change Order records the change in scope, the change in price, and any effect on the schedule. Once approved, the Change Order becomes part of the project contract. A client who declines a Change Order may request that the affected work be performed differently, and the Company will explain the consequences of any alternative, including any effect on safety, code compliance or warranty.

11. Payment Terms

Payment terms are stated in each written proposal and typically include an initial deposit, progress payments tied to milestones, and a final payment on completion. Invoices are due according to the schedule set out in the proposal. Where a payment is late, the Company may pause work, and may apply a late charge where the proposal permits it and applicable law allows.

Amounts owed for approved Change Orders are billed according to the payment schedule or as otherwise stated in the Change Order. The client is responsible for paying applicable taxes and permit fees unless the proposal states otherwise. Payments are accepted through the methods described on the invoice. The Company does not request payment card or banking passwords by email, and clients should treat any such request as fraudulent.

If a client disputes an invoice, the dispute should be raised in writing promptly and before the next progress milestone, so that the matter can be reviewed accurately and resolved without disrupting the work.

12. Scheduling, Delays and Access

Project schedules are prepared in good faith and identify expected start and completion windows. Construction schedules are affected by weather, permit processing, inspection availability, material lead times, supplier delays and unforeseen site conditions. The Company will communicate material schedule changes promptly and will make reasonable efforts to recover lost time.

The client agrees to provide reasonable access to the property during working hours, to keep the work area clear of personal property that could be damaged, and to secure pets and valuables. Where work occurs in an occupied home, the Company will stage access and contain dust, but the client should expect varying levels of noise, dust and disruption throughout the project. The Company is not responsible for delays caused by access limitations, client decisions or events beyond its reasonable control.

13. Permits, Inspections and Compliance

Where the agreed scope includes permit and code compliance, the Company will prepare and submit the required documentation, schedule inspections, and coordinate with the building department through final approval. Permit fees are payable as stated in the proposal. The Company builds to the approved drawings and to applicable code requirements as they apply to the permitted scope of work.

Where the client elects to handle permitting independently, the client is responsible for obtaining approvals and for ensuring that work performed by others complies with applicable codes. The Company will not conceal unpermitted work and reserves the right to pause work where a compliance issue arises that is outside its agreed scope.

Existing unpermitted conditions discovered in a property may require legalization, corrective work or additional fees. The Company will explain the options and the implications honestly, but the ultimate responsibility for the legal status of pre-existing work rests with the property owner.

14. Client Responsibilities

A successful project depends on cooperation from the client. The client agrees to provide accurate information about the property and the intended use of the finished space, to make selections and approvals in a timely manner, to pay invoices according to the agreed schedule, and to communicate concerns early rather than after the relevant phase is complete.

The client also agrees to obtain any approvals required from homeowners associations, co-owners, tenants or lenders, and to disclose any known easements, restrictions or disputes affecting the property. Where the client supplies materials or coordinates separate contractors, the client is responsible for the quality and timing of those items and for coordinating them with the Company schedule.

15. Warranty and Workmanship

The Company stands behind its workmanship. Unless the written proposal states otherwise, the Company warrants that its work will be performed in a professional manner consistent with industry standards and that it will correct defects in its own workmanship that appear within the warranty period stated in the proposal. Manufacturer warranties for materials and products pass to the client to the extent permitted by the manufacturer.

The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, neglect, lack of maintenance, alterations performed by others, extreme weather events, soil movement, or normal wear and tear. The warranty does not cover pre-existing conditions or work performed by others. Warranty service requires prompt written notice of the alleged defect so that the Company can inspect the condition and determine the appropriate remedy.

16. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including text, images, illustrations, layout, styling and code, is owned by or licensed to Alain Hirsch Construction Corp. and is protected by copyright and related laws. No right or license is granted except the limited permission to view and use the website as described in these terms. Copying, modifying, distributing, selling or creating derivative works from the content without written permission is prohibited.

The brand names, logos and trade dress associated with the Company are the property of the Company. Drawings, calculations and specifications prepared by the Company for a project remain the intellectual property of the Company unless the written proposal states otherwise. The client receives a license to use those deliverables for the specific property and purpose for which they were prepared, but not for resale or for use at another location.

17. Content Submitted by Visitors

By sending photographs, drawings, text or other materials to the Company, a visitor confirms that the material is accurate, that the visitor has the right to share it, and that sharing it does not violate the rights of any third party. The visitor grants the Company permission to use the material for the purpose of evaluating the enquiry, preparing a proposal and performing the resulting work.

The Company will not publish client photographs or project details for marketing without permission. Where a client gives permission to feature a project, the Company will present the work accurately and will respect any reasonable request to omit identifying details. The Company does not claim ownership of a visitor project files merely because they were shared for an estimate.

18. Third Party Content and Links

The website may contain links to external sites and references to third party products or services. These are provided for convenience and information only. The Company does not control external sites, does not guarantee their accuracy or availability, and does not endorse every statement found on them. A visitor who relies on third party content does so at their own risk.

Product names, brand names and trademarks mentioned on the website belong to their respective owners. References to a product do not imply a partnership or sponsorship unless such a relationship is expressly stated. The Company reserves the right to change the materials and products it recommends as availability and performance evolve.

19. Disclaimer of Warranties

Except for the express workmanship warranty described in these terms and in a written proposal, the website and its content are provided on an as available basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. The Company does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error free or free of harmful components.

The Company does not warrant that any information on the website is complete, current or applicable to a specific property. Visitors use the website and rely on its content at their own discretion. This disclaimer does not limit any warranty that cannot be excluded under applicable law, and it does not reduce the Company commitment to perform agreed construction work with professional care.

20. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Alain Hirsch Construction Corp. will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of or related to the use of the website or the services, including lost profits, lost opportunities, loss of data or damage to property that is not caused by the Company negligence.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total liability of the Company for any claim arising from the website or from a project is limited to the amount actually paid by the client to the Company for the specific service giving rise to the claim, or to the amount stated in the applicable written proposal, whichever is lower. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by proven negligence.

21. Indemnification

A visitor or client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Alain Hirsch Construction Corp., its personnel and its subcontractors from claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable expenses arising from the misuse of the website, from material submitted by the visitor that infringes the rights of a third party, or from the breach of these terms by the visitor.

The client also agrees to indemnify the Company against claims arising from pre-existing conditions in the property, and from work performed by the client or by separate contractors engaged directly by the client, where that work is not part of the Company agreed scope. This obligation survives the completion of any project and the termination of these terms.

22. Termination and Suspension

The Company may suspend or terminate access to the website at any time, without notice, if misuse is suspected or if continued operation would create a legal or security risk. Termination of website access does not affect obligations that arose before termination, including obligations related to privacy or intellectual property.

A project engagement may be terminated by either party according to the terms of the written proposal. Where a client terminates a project, the client remains responsible for work performed and materials ordered up to the date of termination. Where the Company terminates for non-payment or for a material breach, the Company will document the state of the work and will comply with applicable mechanics lien and notice requirements.

23. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and the applicable laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. The parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good faith discussion before pursuing formal proceedings.

If a dispute cannot be resolved through discussion, the parties agree to consider mediation before litigation. Any legal proceeding that becomes necessary will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in California, unless applicable law requires otherwise. The parties waive any objection to venue in those courts, to the extent such a waiver is permitted by law. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief where necessary to protect safety, property or legal rights.

24. General Provisions

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision is modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. A failure by the Company to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any written proposal, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the website and supersede prior discussions on that subject.

The Company may assign these terms as part of a merger, reorganization or sale of assets. The client may not assign rights or obligations under a project contract without the written consent of the Company. Headings are provided for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. References to a statute include any successor provision.

25. Changes to These Terms

The Company may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, in the services offered or in the operation of the website. The updated effective date is posted at the top of this page. Material changes will be described clearly so that returning visitors understand what has changed.

Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. A project engagement is governed by the terms in effect at the time the written proposal was accepted, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
