potential
cost savings, (iv) providing installation information, (v) providing a library of miscellaneous
documents such as certain case studies, technical bulletins, photos and material safety data sheets,
and (vi) allowing the User to store information on multiple projects.
In order to gain access to and use the Program, the User is required to enter into this User

prohibited from using the Program for any purpose.
LIMITATIONS - User understands and agrees that the Program is necessarily general in nature, and that soil, rain and other environmental and weather conditions, including conditions above and below the surface, are all site-specific and vary widely. Accordingly, in developing the final design and installation, certain design parameters or information other than or different from that suggested in the Program, as well as certain assumptions, judgments, inspections and/or analyses, must necessarily be established or undertaken on a site-specific and project-by-project basis by a knowledgeable and experienced person retained by User (or the owner or contractor for whom User is providing services). EED is not responsible for undertaking these other activities. User further understands and agrees that the specific Program provided hereunder has been developed for use exclusively with certain approved EED Products, and all related design and installation methodologies and other information and considerations incorporate the specific performance characteristics applicable to such approved Products. Accordingly, User shall not use the Program or any part thereof to promote, design, install or use any erosion control products other than approved EED Products, nor will other materials be substituted for such approved Products in designs or installations established with the assistance of the Program. It is the responsibility of the User to determine the appropriateness and accuracy of input data and to review and verify the correctness of the computed results.
INDEMNIFICATION - User assumes, and EED hereby disclaims, all risk and liability arising out of or in connection with the use of or reliance on the Program and any written or oral information, support, communications or representations provided by EED, its affiliates or their employees or distributors.

USER INFORMATION - User understands and agrees that the Program is a web cloud-based service and that User is required to provide certain information about itself in order to gain access to the Program. EED records, collects, stores and uses the identity of User and other User personal and project information for EED�s own business use (including for marketing and sales purposes). Such User information is not sold or intentionally provided to third parties for their use; however, EED does not guarantee that the User information will be kept confidential or that a third party will not devise a means to access such information.
OWNERSHIP AND CHANGES - EED retains all right, title, ownership and copyright in and to the Program and any accompanying materials, and any copies thereof.
