Terms of Service

Agreement

By using OnlineEngineering.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, stop using the site.

What this site is

OnlineEngineering.com publishes editorial content about engineering tools, salaries, certifications, education, and careers. It is an information resource supported by affiliate commissions, as described in our Affiliate Disclosure.

Accuracy, and its limits

We work to keep content correct and current, and we will not pretend to a precision we do not have. Salary figures are estimates aggregated from public sources and vary substantially by employer, location, negotiation, and timing. Tool comparisons reflect a point in time; software changes. Certification and licensure requirements change by jurisdiction and are set by bodies that are not us.

Verify anything you are about to act on. Nothing here is a substitute for the authoritative source — the licensing board, the university, the vendor's own documentation, or an offer letter.

Not professional advice

Content on this site is general information, not professional engineering advice, legal advice, financial advice, or career counselling specific to your circumstances. Engineering decisions carry real consequences for safety and property; they require a qualified, licensed professional exercising judgment on the actual facts. Do not substitute an article for that.

Calculators and tools

The salary calculators, ROI estimators, tax estimators, and quizzes on this site produce rough illustrative figures from simplified models. They are not tax advice, not financial advice, and not a prediction of what you will earn or owe. Consult a qualified professional before relying on any number they produce.

Third-party sites and purchases

Outbound links lead to sites we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content, their pricing, their availability, their data practices, or the outcome of any transaction you enter into with them. Your purchase is between you and that vendor, governed by their terms, and any dispute, refund, warranty, or support issue is between you and them.

Intellectual property

The original content on this site — writing, comparisons, data compilations, and design — is ours. You may quote and link to it with attribution. You may not republish it wholesale or pass it off as your own. Trademarks and product names belong to their respective owners and appear here for identification.

Acceptable use

Do not attempt to disrupt the site, gain unauthorised access to any part of it, scrape it at a volume that degrades it for others, or use it to distribute malware or spam.

Limitation of liability

This site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.

Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected in the date at the top of this page. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
