These terms apply to your use of mortarsmash.com, including the brick guide, the brick calculator and the Mortar Smash game (together, the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Who we are
The Site is owned and operated by Joshua Israel Ventures LLC ("we", "us"), which is the contracting party for any use of the Site. "Mortar Smash" and "Brickworks" are brand names used by Joshua Israel Ventures LLC; they are not separate companies.
2. General information only
Everything on the Site is general information for interest and education. It is not professional construction, building, engineering, structural, legal, financial or any other professional advice, and it does not take your particular project, site, materials or local rules into account.
Results from the brick calculator are approximate estimates based on standard brick sizes, the joint size and waste allowance you enter, and common rules of thumb. Real quantities vary with brick type, bond, workmanship, site conditions and wastage. Before you buy materials, build, alter or repair anything, consult a qualified builder or bricklayer and, for anything structural, a qualified structural engineer, and check your local building codes, regulations and permit requirements.
3. Using the Site
You may use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please do not misuse it, for example by attempting to disrupt it, gain unauthorised access, or copy its content for republication without permission.
4. Intellectual property
The Site's text, graphics, code and the Mortar Smash game are owned by Joshua Israel Ventures LLC and protected by copyright and other laws. The Mortar Smash name and brand are owned by Joshua Israel Ventures LLC. You may share links to the Site freely.
5. No warranties
The Site and everything on it are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, or that the information on it is current.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Joshua Israel Ventures LLC and its members, managers and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, materials or property, arising from or related to your use of, or reliance on, the Site, including any decision you make based on the guide or calculator. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us to use the Site (currently nothing) and US $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
7. Links to other sites
If the Site links to other websites, we do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices.
8. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Florida, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.
