These Terms govern access to rauzs.com and the 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 pages operated for RAUZ by Rauz Caucasus LLC. They govern website use only.

Public information
These Terms cover website access, technical articles, public downloads, forms, links and other public digital features.
Separate professional scope
Project work begins only through the applicable quotation, statement of work, service agreement, subscription terms or other written appointment.
Context matters
Monitoring, ground movement and engineering information on this website is general unless it has been prepared for a defined project under an agreed scope.

Public website only
These Terms apply to public RAUZ web pages unless another set of terms is expressly stated for a portal, software tool, subscription, API, downloadable product or other service.
Additional terms may apply
Specific project, product, software, data, research, pilot or partner arrangements may be governed by additional written terms.
Mandatory rights remain
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude rights, remedies or obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted under applicable law.
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. This permission does not transfer ownership of website content or grant an unrestricted licence to extract or republish it.
You may
View public pages, share normal links, print limited material for internal reference, cite short portions with proper attribution and contact RAUZ through the available enquiry routes.
You may not
Use the website unlawfully, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, impersonate another person or organisation, remove legal notices, or present RAUZ content as your own.
- Do not attack, overload or disrupt the website

Engineering & Technical Content
Public technical information is not a substitute for project-specific engineering review.
RAUZ publishes material about monitoring, instrumentation, data interpretation, InSAR, trends, thresholds, engineering risk, research and related methods. Such material may help frame a technical discussion, but its relevance depends on the actual project.
No automatic engineering opinion
Reading an article, viewing a chart or using a public explanation does not create a project-specific RAUZ opinion, certification, approval or professional appointment.
Ground and project context can change the answer
Geology, stratigraphy, groundwater, baseline, instrument installation, survey control, construction sequence, asset sensitivity and data quality may materially change interpretation.
Automation remains a tool
Automated charts, alerts, AI-assisted text, data screening or illustrative dashboards should not be treated as final engineering conclusions without the review required by the applicable project scope.
Enquiries & User Submissions
Send enough information to start a discussion, not confidential project archives through a public page.
Contact forms, quote builders and public email links are intended to begin a conversation. They should not be treated as secure project-data repositories unless RAUZ expressly provides and approves a specific transfer route.
You are responsible for what you submit
Do not submit information that you are not authorised to disclose, including restricted client data, third-party confidential material, personal data or proprietary vendor information.
No automatic publication licence
Submitting a project brief or dataset does not by itself give RAUZ permission to publish the project, use a client logo, create a public case study or use confidential information for unrelated research.
No automatic appointment
Sending an enquiry, RFQ or technical question does not mean RAUZ has accepted the work, agreed a fee, committed to a response time or assumed professional responsibility.
Intellectual Property
Website access does not transfer ownership of RAUZ or third-party intellectual property.
Unless otherwise stated, original website text, graphics, diagrams, interfaces, software elements, technical methods, branding and other original RAUZ material are owned by Rauz Caucasus LLC or used under an appropriate right. Third-party materials remain subject to their owners’ rights and terms.
RAUZ names and marks
No right to use the RAUZ name, logo, visual identity or service names as a business identifier, endorsement, partnership badge or reseller representation is granted by visiting the website.
Reasonable citation
Normal linking and reasonable quotation with clear source attribution are different from bulk copying, republication, resale or creating a competing library from RAUZ content.
Project and software IP
Ownership and licensing of project-specific reports, code, APIs, data transformations, dashboards, methods or other 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, equipment manufacturers, satellite-data providers, software platforms and other third parties. RAUZ may also analyse data generated by systems that it does not own or operate.
External links
A link is provided for information or navigation. It does not by itself create a partnership, endorsement, agency relationship or acceptance of responsibility for the external site.
Third-party measurements
Accuracy and suitability of field readings, survey control, sensor calibration, satellite products, vendor platforms and other third-party data remain subject to their own methods and project responsibilities.
External terms may apply
When you leave RAUZ or use a third-party service, the third party’s own terms, privacy notices, licences and technical limitations may apply.
Privacy & Cookies
Website use may involve personal information and website technologies.
Personal information supplied through enquiries or collected through website operation is handled under the applicable RAUZ privacy documentation. Cookies and similar technologies should be described according to what the production website actually uses.
Privacy Policy
Explains the handling of personal information, including relevant purposes, rights and contact routes.
Read Privacy Policy →Cookie Information
Explains cookies and similar technologies and, where applicable, the controls available to website visitors.
Cookie Information →Website Availability & Information
The website may change, and external technical information may become outdated.
RAUZ may update, correct, reorganise, suspend or remove public website content and features. Technical references, standards, third-party data products and external websites may also change independently of RAUZ.
No continuous-availability promise
RAUZ does not promise that the public website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure from every threat or free from technical errors.
Check the current source
Where a RAUZ article references legislation, standards, satellite products, vendor specifications or official guidance, users should check the current original source for time-sensitive reliance.
Corrections and updates
RAUZ may correct factual, technical, typographical, link or formatting errors without treating the earlier version as a continuing representation.
Website Disclaimers & Liability
Website-level limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law.
The public website is provided for general information and business communication. To the extent permitted by applicable law, RAUZ does not give a website-level warranty that every page is complete, error-free, continuously available or suitable for a user’s particular project.
General informational use
No exclusion of non-excludable liability
Website use versus contracted services
Quotations, Projects & Separate Agreements
A website enquiry is not the professional services contract.
RAUZ may provide one-off reviews, recurring monitoring intelligence, InSAR interpretation, monitoring diagnostics, monitoring strategy, reporting automation or other services. Those engagements need project-specific commercial and technical terms.
| Stage | Purpose | Legal / commercial effect |
|---|---|---|
| Website content | General information, technical context and service explanation. | Does not by itself create a professional appointment. |
| Enquiry / RFQ | Allows a potential client to describe a project and request discussion or pricing. | Does not by itself confirm acceptance, fee, programme or deliverable. |
| Quotation / proposal | Sets out a proposed scope, assumptions, exclusions, programme and commercial terms. | Becomes binding only as stated in the quotation and the applicable acceptance mechanism. |
| Signed / accepted project agreement | Defines the agreed professional and commercial relationship. | Controls the project together with any mandatory law and incorporated documents. |
