01Terms of Use
The terms for using this site.
Effective August 7, 2026. By using beamandbearing.com, you agree to these website terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Who operates this site
This public website is operated by Patrick Darbee under the Beam & Bearing name ("Beam & Bearing," "we," "us").
Use of the site
You may view the site and contact us for legitimate business inquiries. You agree not to scrape or harvest the site, interfere with its security or operation, attempt unauthorized access, use it for unlawful purposes, or misrepresent your identity or authority.
Services, prices, and no engagement
Service descriptions, examples, timelines, and prices shown on this site are general information and do not create a binding quote, offer, client relationship, or obligation to perform work. Consulting, custom systems, hosting, reseller services, Managed Flow, and other client work begin only under a separate written agreement, statement of work, or managed-service agreement accepted by both sides.
A client agreement may include terms about scope, payment, confidentiality, intellectual property, third-party platforms, service levels, warranties, support, data handling, and termination that do not appear on this public website. If a client agreement conflicts with these website Terms, the client agreement controls for that engagement.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the site's content, design, copy, and the Beam & Bearing name and branding are owned by Patrick Darbee or their respective licensors. You may view the site for your own reference; you may not copy, reproduce, publish, sell, or reuse protected site content without permission or another lawful basis.
Your submissions
When you send information through the contact form, you represent that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it. You authorize us to process the submission for the limited purpose of evaluating and responding to the inquiry as described in our Privacy Policy. Please do not send passwords, credentials, private customer data, source code, or other sensitive technical information through the public form.
Privacy, cookies, and tracking
Our Privacy Policy explains what the public website collects and how it is used. As of the effective date above, this public site does not use cookies, analytics, advertising pixels, or behavioral tracking technologies. If those practices materially change, the Privacy Policy will be updated.
Third-party services and links
The site may link to or rely on third-party websites and services. Those providers operate under their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or business practices. Client projects that use third-party platforms are governed by the applicable client agreement and provider terms.
Right to restrict use or decline inquiries
We may restrict abusive or unlawful use of the site and may decline to respond to or accept a business inquiry or proposed engagement, subject to applicable law. Submitting the contact form does not obligate either side to enter a business relationship.
Disclaimers
The public site is provided "as is" and "as available" for general information only. Website content is not legal advice, and generalized technical material is not a substitute for an assessment of a specific system or business condition. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties about the site's accuracy, completeness, security, or uninterrupted availability.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Texas law, Beam & Bearing and Patrick Darbee will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages arising from use of this public site. To the fullest extent permitted by law, aggregate liability for a claim arising solely from use of the public site will not exceed US $100. Where a limitation is not permitted, liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by applicable law.
Governing law
These website Terms are governed by the laws of the State ofTexas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute concerning these website Terms will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Texas, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Severability
If a court finds part of these website Terms unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these website Terms as the site or business changes. The effective date above identifies the current version. Material changes will be published here.
