Standard Terms for Advisory Services
Ridgeline Project Services, LLC · Version 1.0 · Effective November 13, 2026
Parties and acceptance. These terms are between Ridgeline Project Services, LLC ("Ridgeline") and the purchaser ("Client"). Completing checkout, paying an invoice or sending documents for review is acceptance of these terms.
Scope. Ridgeline performs only the service described on the product page or written proposal (the "Services"). Work outside that description, including additional bids, documents, meetings or revisions, is billed at $175 per hour or quoted separately, with Client approval before it starts.
Advisory services only. Ridgeline provides construction project management and owner's representation advice. Ridgeline does not provide legal, engineering, architectural, accounting or tax advice, does not act as a licensed contractor, and does not stamp, certify or approve designs or work. Contract reviews address business terms and risk; Client should have its attorney review any agreement before signing.
No control of the work. Ridgeline does not direct, supervise or control the means, methods, sequences, safety programs or performance of any contractor, and is not responsible for a contractor's work, delays or compliance.
Client decisions and information. All decisions remain Client's. Ridgeline relies on the documents and information Client provides and is not responsible for errors that result from incomplete or inaccurate information. Turnaround times start when complete documents are received.
Fees and payment. Fixed-fee Services are paid in full at checkout. Fractional engagements are billed monthly in advance. Invoices are due within 15 days; balances unpaid after 30 days may pause the Services.
Cancellation and refunds. Client may cancel for a full refund before submitting documents. After work has started, Ridgeline will credit unused fees toward another Service within 12 months. Advisory call fees are credited toward a review or fractional engagement started within 30 days.
Deliverables. Deliverables are for Client's internal use on the named project. Client may share them with its project team, lender, board and attorney. They may not be relied on by any other party without Ridgeline's written consent.
Confidentiality and tools. Ridgeline keeps Client documents confidential and uses them only to perform the Services. Ridgeline uses secure business software, including AI-assisted analysis tools, to organize and check documents; every deliverable is reviewed and approved by Ridgeline's principal. Client may ask that its documents be deleted after delivery.
Conflicts of interest. Ridgeline works for owners. Ridgeline will tell Client before starting if it has a business relationship with any contractor or designer whose documents it is reviewing, and Client may cancel for a full refund.
Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ridgeline's total liability arising from the Services is limited to the fees Client paid for those Services. Neither party is liable for indirect, consequential or lost-profit damages.
Independent contractor. Ridgeline is an independent contractor and is not Client's employee, agent or fiduciary except as stated in a signed fractional agreement.
Governing law. California law governs these terms. Any dispute will first go to good-faith negotiation, then mediation in Nevada County, California, before any other proceeding.
Entire agreement. These terms, the product description and any written proposal are the entire agreement. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect.
