Your access to and use of the Website is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with this Disclaimer. This Disclaimer applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Website. It is imperative that you review this document carefully and thoroughly before proceeding with your use of the Website. This comprehensive disclaimer aims to clarify the limitations, responsibilities, and understandings expected from both the Website owner and the user. Its primary purpose is to protect the owner from potential liabilities arising from the content provided and the user’s interactions with the Website and subsequent actions taken based on the information found herein. By continuing to navigate and engage with tegar.fmipaum.ac.id, you explicitly indicate your acceptance of these terms and the obligations they impose upon you as a user. This acceptance is considered a formal agreement that underpins the relationship between you and the Website owner regarding the provision and consumption of the content.

2. General Information Disclaimer – Not Professional Advice
The content provided on tegar.fmipaum.ac.id is intended for informational and educational purposes only. While we Endeavor to provide accurate, relevant, and helpful information regarding home exteriors, including topics such as design ideas, material overviews, maintenance tips, project suggestions, and general advice, it is crucial to understand that this information is not exhaustive, nor is it intended to be a substitute for professional expertise. The content presented reflects general principles, illustrative examples, and personal opinions or experiences, which may not be applicable to your specific situation, property, location, or project requirements. Home exterior work often involves complex tasks related to structural integrity, weatherproofing, drainage, electrical and plumbing systems, material compatibility, local building codes, zoning regulations, and safety procedures. Any information related to DIY projects, material specifications, construction techniques, or design choices presented on the Website should be considered general guidance only. It is imperative that you consult with qualified professionals such as licensed contractors, architects, structural engineers, landscape architects, building inspectors, electricians, plumbers, or other relevant experts before planning, undertaking, or implementing any home exterior project based on information obtained from this Website or elsewhere. These professionals possess the necessary training, experience, licenses, and insurance to assess your specific needs, evaluate your property’s unique conditions, recommend appropriate solutions, ensure compliance with local standards and regulations, and execute projects safely and effectively. Relying solely on information from the Website without seeking professional verification and guidance can lead to incorrect decisions, costly errors, property damage, safety hazards, legal non-compliance, or potentially dangerous situations. tegar.fmipaum.ac.id and its owners, authors, contributors, or affiliates are not responsible for any consequences arising from your reliance on the information provided herein without independent professional consultation. The content does not establish a professional-client relationship. Your use of the information provided on this Website is solely at your own risk and discretion. The depth and detail required for executing a home exterior project safely and successfully are far beyond what can be comprehensively covered on a general informational website. Factors like local climate, soil conditions, material availability, existing structural conditions, and specific aesthetic preferences all necessitate expert input tailored to your unique circumstances. Therefore, while the Website aims to inspire and inform, it should be treated as a starting point for research and ideation, not a definitive guide for action. Any descriptions of materials, techniques, or services are general in nature and should be thoroughly vetted by a professional before use.

We explicitly disclaim all liability for any errors or omissions in the content of the Website, or for any actions taken or not taken by you in reliance on the information provided on the Website. While we may, from time to time, update content to reflect new information or corrections, we are under no obligation to do so and cannot guarantee the continuous update of all content. Users are strongly encouraged to independently verify any information before relying upon it for any decision or action, particularly those involving significant financial investment, structural changes, or potential safety implications. The rapidly changing landscape of building science, materials science, and design trends means that what is current and considered best practice today might be improved upon or superseded in the future. Therefore, the accuracy of information should always be viewed in the context of its publication date if available, and verification through more current, authoritative, and professional sources is always recommended. We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you through this Website will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the service will be corrected.

The inherent risks associated with home exterior projects – including but not limited to working at heights, handling power tools, dealing with potentially hazardous materials, structural considerations, and interactions with weather elements – mean that outcomes are highly dependent on individual skill, safety precautions, professional input, and site-specific conditions, none of which can be controlled by the Website owner.

To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, tegar.fmipaum.ac.id and its owners, operators, affiliates, and licensors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, suitability, completeness, currency, availability, and freedom from errors, viruses, or other harmful components.

Access to the Website may be suspended temporarily and without notice in the case of system failure, maintenance or repair, or for reasons beyond our control.

The information and content on the Website, especially concerning home exterior projects, are inherently general. They do not take into account your specific project details, property conditions, local environmental factors, access to specific tools or materials, or personal skill levels. Therefore, you must rely on your own judgment and seek professional advice where appropriate. Any representation or warranty that might be otherwise implied into this Disclaimer by statute, common law, or equity is hereby excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.
For example, there is no warranty that following a guide on installing siding will be successful on your specific type of wall, in your climate, using your specific tools, or with your level of experience. There is no warranty that material recommendations will be the best or most cost-effective choice for your project. There is no warranty that design ideas presented will be suitable or legally permissible in your location. The use of the Website and any information obtained through it is done at your own sole discretion and risk. You will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system, loss of data, or other harm that results from the use of the Website or from the download of any content. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from tegar.fmipaum.ac.id or through or from the Website shall create any warranty not expressly stated in this Disclaimer.

e. Material Risks: Choosing inappropriate materials for the climate or application, incorrect installation of materials, or using faulty products can lead to premature failure, expensive repairs, or poor performance.
f. Financial Risks: Projects can exceed budget expectations due to unforeseen issues, material shortages, incorrect estimations based on general online information, or the need for professional intervention to correct DIY mistakes.
