About Atelier Exactli: Atelier Exactli is a self-paced ExAC study preparation platform offering digital study guides, recorded lessons, mock questions, resource summaries, and optional support tools. It is not a school, university, professional order, licensing authority, or official ExAC preparation course.

The information and materials provided by Atelier Exactli Inc. ("Atelier Exactli," "we," "us," or "our") on our website (https://exactli.ca) and through our Services are for educational and general informational purposes only. While we strive to ensure accuracy and provide valuable content, we want to clarify important disclaimers regarding your use of our Site and Services. By using our Site, you acknowledge and agree to the following disclaimers:

1. Website and Content Disclaimer

We make no guarantees as to the completeness, timeliness, reliability, or accuracy of the information presented on our Site or in our study materials. All information, content, and services on this Site are provided "as is," without any warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied. This includes, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Any reliance you place on information from our Site is strictly at your own risk. While we may update content periodically, Atelier Exactli does not warrant that all information is entirely up-to-date or free from errors or omissions. The architectural exam standards (including ExAC and any other referenced exams) may change over time, and although we endeavour to adjust our materials accordingly, we cannot promise that every change will be reflected immediately or that our interpretation of exam requirements will always align perfectly with official bodies.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of the Site or reliance on any information provided on the Site. Your use of the Site and your reliance on any information on the Site is solely at your own risk.

2. External Links Disclaimer

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or content (for example, reference articles, external tutorials, regulatory bodies, or products/services offered by others). These external links are provided for convenience or supplementary information only. Atelier Exactli does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of any information offered by third-party sites linked through our Site, nor do we have control over the nature, content, and availability of those sites.

When you click on an external link and leave our Site, you are subject to the terms and policies of that third-party site. We will not be liable for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of, or reliance on, any third-party content or websites. Any transactions or interactions between you and a third-party provider are strictly between you and that provider.

3. No Professional or Legal Advice Disclaimer

Atelier Exactli cannot and does not provide professional architectural or legal advice. The content provided through our Site, including study materials, blog posts, Q&A responses, or community forum discussions, is intended for general educational purposes in preparation for architecture licensure examinations (like the ExAC). While some content may discuss architectural principles, building codes, or best practices, it should not be construed as specific professional advice for real-world projects or as an authoritative interpretation of laws or regulations.

For any actual architectural design, construction project, or legal/regulatory matter in professional practice, you should consult appropriate licensed professionals or authoritative sources. Our experts and contributors may share insights based on their knowledge, but no tutoring, teaching, or advisory relationship is formed between you and Atelier Exactli; you are purchasing access to self-paced study materials, not enrolling in a course.

Educational Use Only: If you are making decisions that have safety, legal, or financial consequences (for instance, stamping architectural drawings, signing contracts, or interpreting building codes on an actual project), you must consult with licensed architects, engineers, lawyers, or relevant authorities. Our materials are meant to help you understand concepts for exam purposes; they are not a substitute for real-world training or legal counsel.

4. No Guarantee of Results

Using Atelier Exactli's services or materials is not a guarantee of passing any examination or achieving any certification. Every individual's exam performance will depend on a variety of factors, including prior education, practical experience, study habits, and individual effort. We provide tools and content to assist in your preparation, but we do not guarantee that you will pass the ExAC or any other exam on your first attempt (or at all) as a result of using our study materials.

Success stories presented on our Site (including any testimonials) are individual experiences that do not assure you will achieve the same results. Any forward-looking statements are intended to motivate and describe past outcomes from some users, but they are not promises or guarantees. We also do not guarantee that our content covers every possible exam question or topic. Always use official exam outlines and bulletins as primary guides for what to study.

5. Testimonials Disclaimer

The Site may feature testimonials, reviews, or feedback from users of our products and services. These testimonials reflect personal experiences and opinions of those individuals. Please be aware of the following:

  • Individual Results Vary: Testimonials are not indicative of guaranteed results. Factors such as background knowledge, study time, and individual aptitude differ for each person, so your experience may not align with someone else's.
  • Accuracy of Testimonials: We present testimonials as they were provided to us, except for minor edits for clarity or brevity (for example, correcting grammar or cutting unrelated parts). We do not fabricate testimonials. However, we cannot always verify every detail of a user's story, so consider them anecdotal rather than empirical evidence.
  • Not Paid Endorsements: Users who provide testimonials on our Site are not paid or otherwise compensated for their statements. Any affiliation or referral relationship that could influence a testimonial will be clearly disclosed.
  • Consent for use: We will not use your name, likeness, testimonial, or review in marketing materials without your consent.
  • Your Responsibility: Do not rely solely on testimonials when deciding to use our Services. We encourage you to review all information available and consider your own needs.

6. User-Generated Content Disclaimer

Our Site may include user-generated content areas such as community forums, comment sections, or discussion boards where users can post questions, answers, comments, or other materials ("Contributions"). Please note the following:

  • Not Endorsed by Atelier Exactli: Contributions made by users reflect the views and knowledge of those users, not necessarily the views of Atelier Exactli. Any advice or information obtained from other users is used at your own risk.
  • No Duty to Monitor: While we may moderate the forums, we are not obligated to pre-screen or regularly monitor all user content. We reserve the right to remove content that violates our policies once we become aware of it.
  • Professional Advice Caution: If a user provides an answer or advice in the forum, treat it as informal peer input, not as retained professional consultation.
  • Reporting Issues: We encourage our community to report any content that seems to violate guidelines or is suspect in accuracy. Absence of a takedown does not imply endorsement.

By participating in our community, you agree that we have the right (but not the obligation) to remove any user content for any reason in our discretion, and that we shall not be liable for any claims or losses resulting from content provided by other users.

7. Affiliate & Third-Party Disclaimer

Atelier Exactli is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any official architectural licensing boards or exam administrators. We do not have any official status with ExAC, NCARB, OAQ, AIBC, or any provincial associations unless explicitly stated. Any references to exam names or professional bodies are for identification/informational purposes only. Trademarks like "ExAC" or "ARE" (Architect Registration Examination) belong to their respective owners; use of such terms on our Site is nominative and does not imply endorsement by or partnership with those entities.

Instructor names, titles, professional credentials, and institutional affiliations are provided for identification and biographical purposes only. Unless expressly stated in writing, Atelier Exactli is not affiliated with, sponsored by, approved by, or endorsed by McGill University, Cégep du Vieux Montréal, Université de Montréal, or any other educational institution, professional order, licensing authority, or examination administrator, including the administrators of ExAC (the Examination for Architects in Canada).

We may, from time to time, recommend or link to third-party resources such as textbooks, software, or supplementary resources. Some of these links might be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. We will disclose affiliate links as such. We only recommend products or services that we believe could be valuable to our users; however, we do not guarantee or take responsibility for those third-party offerings.

8. Limitation of Liability (Summary)

These disclaimers form part of our broader limitation of liability (see Terms and Conditions). To reiterate in plain language: Atelier Exactli Inc., its owners, employees, or partners will not be held liable for any damages or losses arising out of your use of our Site or Services, or from any information contained herein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, whether in an action of contract, negligence, or other tort. Nothing in this Disclaimer limits any non-waivable right under the Quebec Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law.

9. Contact and Acknowledgment
