01Using this website
These terms govern your use of abilityalliance.ca. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Engagements for consulting, training or software are governed by the separate proposal, order or agreement you sign with us; those documents take precedence over these terms.
02Information on this site
Content on this site — including articles, blog posts, calculators and AI assistant answers — is general information, not engineering advice. It does not replace a professional engineer's review of your specific situation, and you should not rely on it to make design, safety or compliance decisions.
Product descriptions, editions and pricing guidance are indicative. Vendor terms, availability and pricing can change; confirm details in a written quote.
03AI assistant
The assistant generates answers automatically and can be wrong or incomplete. Check anything important with our team, who can be reached through the live-agent option or by phone.

The news page shows headlines and summaries published by third-party sources, with links to the original articles. Those articles belong to their publishers. We are not responsible for third-party websites or their content.
