These Terms govern access to rauzs.com and use of RAUZ website content, technical information and digital features. Project services remain subject to separate quotations, scopes and written agreements.
Terms of Use
Terms for using the RAUZ public website.
These Terms of Use apply to access to and use of rauzs.com and public digital features operated for RAUZ by Rauz Caucasus LLC. They govern the public website.

Separate appointment
Project work starts only under the quotation, statement of work, service agreement, subscription terms or other written appointment that applies to that engagement.

Monitoring, environmental, agricultural and engineering information on this website is general unless it has been prepared for a defined project under an agreed scope.

Mandatory rights remain
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude rights, remedies or obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
Permitted Use
Use the website lawfully and without interfering with other users or systems.
RAUZ permits normal access to its public website for legitimate informational, professional and business purposes. Website access does not transfer ownership of RAUZ content or grant an unrestricted licence to copy, extract, republish or commercialise it.
You may
- View public RAUZ pages and follow normal public links.
- Share links to public pages.
- Print limited material for internal reference.
- Quote limited portions with clear attribution where lawful.

- Bulk-copy protected content for unauthorised commercial republication.
Ordinary search-engine indexing, linking and other automated access that complies with applicable law, published technical controls and the website’s robots directives is not prohibited merely because it is automated.
Technical & Engineering Content
Public technical information is not a project-specific engineering opinion.
RAUZ publishes material concerning monitoring intelligence, environmental monitoring, geotechnical and structural monitoring, agricultural monitoring, instrumentation, remote sensing, InSAR, data quality, analytics, alerting, AI-assisted review and automated reporting. Public material can frame a technical discussion, but the answer for a real project depends on the evidence and context of that project.
No automatic professional appointment
Project context can change the answer
AI and automation remain analytical tools
Monitoring does not guarantee safety or complete detection
Enquiries & User Submissions
Start a conversation without treating a public form as a confidential project archive.
Public contact forms, quote builders and email links are intended to begin a discussion. Unless RAUZ expressly provides and approves a specific transfer route, they should not be treated as secure repositories for confidential engineering, commercial or personal data.
- Submit only information you are authorised to disclose.
- Do not send unnecessary personal or special-category data.
- Agree a suitable transfer route before sending sensitive project files.
- Do not assume an enquiry creates a project appointment.
- Do not assume a submission gives RAUZ permission to publish a project or client identity.
- Project data rights should be addressed in the relevant written agreement.
Intellectual Property
Website access does not transfer RAUZ or third-party intellectual property.
Unless otherwise stated, original RAUZ website text, graphics, diagrams, interfaces, software elements, branding and other original material are owned by Rauz Caucasus LLC or used under an appropriate right. Third-party material remains subject to its owners’ rights and terms.
RAUZ names & marks
Visiting the website does not grant a right to use the RAUZ name, logo, visual identity or service names as a business identifier, endorsement, reseller badge or partnership claim.
Reasonable citation
Normal linking and limited quotation with clear attribution are different from bulk copying, resale, systematic republication or creation of a competing content library.
Project & software IP
Ownership and licensing of reports, code, APIs, transformations, dashboards, analytical methods and other project deliverables are governed by the applicable written agreement.
Third-Party Websites, Data & Services
External references remain external.
RAUZ may link to public authorities, technical publishers, research organisations, equipment manufacturers, satellite-data providers, software platforms and other third parties. RAUZ may also analyse data generated by systems it does not own or operate.
External links
A link is provided for reference or navigation. It does not by itself create a partnership, endorsement, agency relationship or acceptance of responsibility for the external site.
Third-party measurements
Field readings, survey control, sensor calibration, laboratory results, satellite products, weather data and vendor platforms remain subject to their own methods, limitations and project responsibilities.
External terms
When you leave RAUZ or use a third-party service, the third party’s own terms, privacy notice, licence conditions and technical limitations may apply.

Quotations, Projects & Separate Agreements
A website enquiry is not the professional services contract.

Each engagement requires technical and commercial terms appropriate to the actual scope.

| Enquiry / RFQ | Lets a potential client describe a project and request discussion or pricing. | Does not by itself confirm acceptance, fee, programme or deliverable. |
| Quotation / proposal | Sets out proposed scope, assumptions, exclusions, programme and commercial terms. | Becomes binding only as stated in the quotation and applicable acceptance mechanism. |
| Accepted project agreement | Defines the agreed professional and commercial relationship. | Controls the project together with mandatory law and incorporated documents. |
Depending on the engagement, project terms may address scope, deliverables, client inputs, confidentiality, data ownership, intellectual property, information security, fees, payment, programme, reliance, professional responsibility, liability, termination, governing law and dispute resolution.
