These terms cover the pisurveying.com website and the land surveying services of PI Surveying, PLLC (“Pi Surveying”, “we”, “us”). By using the website, requesting a quote, accepting a quote or placing an order, you agree to them. They are short on purpose; please read them.
PI Surveying, PLLC is a professional land surveying firm at 903 Commerce Drive, Suite 210, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523. Every survey and plat we deliver is prepared under the responsible charge of an Illinois-licensed Professional Land Surveyor and carries that surveyor’s seal.
A quote is for the survey described in it, at the property described in it, and holds its price for the number of days stated on the quote. Unless the quote says otherwise, the fee assumes that:
Where the property turns out to be different, we tell you before doing the extra work, and the fee is adjusted for it. A rush, a change in the survey type, and items added after the quote are priced separately. Information on this website is general; only a written quote is an offer to do work.
You place an order by accepting a quote on its page, by submitting our order form, or by confirming in writing. Any of these is your agreement to these terms at the fee quoted. If you order for someone else, for a client, a buyer or a seller, you confirm that you are authorized to place the order on their behalf and that these terms apply to them as well as to you. A survey ordered for a closing is ordered by the party named on the order, whoever pays for it.
We schedule the field visit once the order is complete and, for orders paid in advance, once payment is in. Field work depends on the weather and on the day’s earlier jobs, so a date can move; we tell you when it does. Our crew needs access to the exterior of the property and the yard, not the interior. It is your responsibility to let the occupant and anyone else involved know we are coming, and to see that locked gates are opened or that we are told how to get in. A visit we cannot complete because the property was not accessible is a second visit, charged as one.
The survey is delivered as a signed and sealed plat in PDF, with printed copies on request. The plat shows the property as it was on the day of the field work and is prepared for the client named on it and for the purpose stated in the order. It is a survey, not a title opinion, an appraisal or legal advice: it shows where the recorded lines fall and marks the corners, and it does not settle a disagreement with a neighbor. A third party who relies on the plat without our written consent does so at its own risk, and a certification to anyone beyond the named client is added only on request and may carry a fee.
The fee is the one on your quote or order confirmation. Homeowners and first-time clients pay in advance; the invoice comes with the order confirmation, and the field visit is scheduled once it is paid. Attorneys, title companies and lenders ordering for a closing are invoiced with the survey, payable from the closing. Clients with an account are invoiced on the terms of the account. Every other invoice is due on receipt. We do not charge interest or late fees. If an invoice is not paid when due, we may hold further work and deliveries for you until it is paid and ask for payment in advance on later orders. Illinois law gives a land surveyor a lien on the surveyed property for an unpaid fee, and we may record one. If we have to turn an unpaid invoice over for collection, you agree to pay our reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees and court costs. Card payments may carry the processing fee shown on the invoice; a bank transfer carries none.
You may cancel an order at any time before delivery. You pay for the work done to that day: the research, and the field visit if the crew has been to the property. A prepaid fee is refunded less that amount. A change to the order after the field visit, such as a new survey type, added items or a second visit, is quoted and billed as additional work.
You agree to give us accurate information about the property and the purpose of the survey, to tell us about a known dispute, easement or prior survey, to arrange access as described above, and to review the plat when you receive it and tell us promptly about anything that looks wrong.
We stand behind our work. If a plat we delivered contains an error that is ours, tell us and we will correct it and reissue the plat at no charge; that correction is the remedy for an error in a survey. Beyond it, our responsibility to you for any survey or related service, whatever the legal theory, is limited to the fee paid for that survey. Neither of us is responsible to the other for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, including delay, lost profits or the cost of a transaction that did not close, except where the law does not allow that limit. A concern about a survey must be raised with us within one year of its delivery. The fee for a survey is set with this section in mind; a survey carrying broader responsibility is available on request at a fee that reflects it.
Once paid for, the plat is yours to use for the purpose it was ordered for, and to give to your attorney, lender, title company or buyer for that purpose. The field data, drawings, calculations and files behind it remain ours. Everything on this website, including text, graphics, logos and images, is ours too and is not to be copied or reused without our written permission.
The website is for general information. Nothing on it is a survey, a binding quote or legal advice, and a sealed survey is the only thing that can be relied on as one. You agree not to interfere with the site, attempt unauthorized access to it, or use it for anything unlawful. Our Privacy Policy says what we do with the information you give us.
A signed service agreement or a proposal accepted in writing controls over these terms where the two differ, and these terms control over anything in a mailing, a brochure or an earlier conversation.
These terms and every order under them are governed by the laws of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute is brought in the state or federal courts sitting in DuPage County, Illinois, and both of us agree to that venue.
We may update these terms from time to time; the current version is always on this page with the date it took effect. An order is governed by the version in effect on the day it was placed.
