Effective and last updated:
Important distinction
These Website Terms govern the Site only. A website submission, conversation, preliminary review, or estimate does not create a construction contract. Actual services begin only under an appropriate written agreement, and that agreement controls the project.
- Online information and preliminary discussions are not final scope, price, schedule, or professional advice.
- You must have authority to submit project, property, company, and trade-partner information and files.
- Claims relating to actual construction services are governed by the applicable signed project agreement, not these Website Terms.
1. Acceptance and eligibility
These Website Terms (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Carras Technologies LLC, the operator of Bakken Build Group (“Bakken Build Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), concerning your access to and use of bakkenbuildgroup.com and related pages, forms, and online features (collectively, the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree, do not use the Site. You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering an agreement to submit a project request or trade-partner application. If you act for a company, property owner, association, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to provide the information and act on its behalf.
2. Operator and trade name
Bakken Build Group is a trade name used by Carras Technologies LLC, a North Dakota limited liability company. References to “Bakken Build Group” in these Terms mean Carras Technologies LLC doing business under that name. The Site is operated from Williston, North Dakota, and is primarily intended for users and potential projects in Western North Dakota.
3. Site purpose; no offer
The Site provides general information about service categories, service areas, our coordination approach, and ways to contact us. Site content is an invitation to discuss a potential project or business relationship; it is not a binding offer, promise to perform, guarantee of availability, or representation that a particular project is suitable, permitted, or accepted.
We may accept, decline, pause, refer, or request more information about any inquiry in our discretion, subject to applicable law. No duty to inspect, estimate, preserve evidence, visit a property, secure materials, reserve labor, or begin work arises from a website submission.
4. Project inquiries and communications
You agree to provide information that is accurate, current, and reasonably complete. You must update us if material project information changes. A submission confirmation means only that the Site received the request; it does not mean that we accepted the project, verified the information, assigned personnel, or agreed to a response deadline.
The Site is not an emergency-reporting or dispatch service. Do not use it for fires, gas leaks, electrical hazards, active water intrusion, structural instability, crimes, medical emergencies, or other urgent threats. Contact 911, the appropriate utility, property management, or a qualified emergency professional.
5. Estimates, proposals, and project contracts
Any range, example, or discussion of pricing, timing, materials, labor, or scope before a signed agreement is preliminary and may change after site conditions, measurements, selections, access, code requirements, permits, trade availability, supplier pricing, concealed conditions, or other facts are reviewed.
A project becomes binding only when the appropriate parties sign a written proposal, construction agreement, work order, subcontract, change order, or other document that identifies the agreed scope and commercial terms. That project agreement may address price, deposits, progress payments, scheduling, delays, changes, permits, insurance, warranties, dispute procedures, cancellation rights, and other project-specific matters.
If these Terms conflict with a signed project agreement, the signed project agreement controls for the services covered by it. These Terms continue to govern use of the Site. No employee, trade partner, or other person may alter these Terms or commit us to a project except through an authorized written agreement.
6. Licenses, permits, codes, and professional services
Construction, electrical, plumbing, design, environmental, and other work may require contractor or trade licenses, permits, inspections, stamped plans, engineering, architectural services, or approvals. We and participating trade partners will perform work only to the extent authorized by applicable law and the relevant written project arrangement. Responsibility for permits, design professionals, inspections, and approvals will be stated in project documents when applicable.
The Site does not provide legal, tax, financial, architectural, engineering, environmental, insurance, safety, or code-compliance advice. General descriptions are not a substitute for an evaluation by a properly qualified professional or authority having jurisdiction.
7. Property information and concealed conditions
You are responsible for disclosing known conditions that may affect access, safety, pricing, or performance, including occupants, pets, hazardous materials, water or fire damage, mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, structural concerns, utility conditions, prior unpermitted work, easements, association rules, and access restrictions. Do not disturb suspected hazardous materials solely to photograph or describe them for a website submission.
Photos, videos, plans, and descriptions cannot establish all field conditions. Site verification, measurements, testing, destructive investigation, or professional evaluation may be required before scope or pricing can be finalized.
8. Trade partners, suppliers, and referrals
We may evaluate or coordinate work with independent trade partners, subcontractors, suppliers, estimators, consultants, or design professionals. Their role, responsibility, insurance, licensing, warranties, and contractual relationship vary by project and will be addressed in applicable project documents.
A trade-partner application does not create employment, a subcontract, exclusivity, preferred-vendor status, a promise of work, or authority to represent Bakken Build Group. Applicants remain responsible for the accuracy of credentials, insurance and WSI information, licenses, tax status, personnel, and ongoing compliance. We may verify information, request updated documents, or decline an application at any time, subject to applicable law.
9. Your submissions and limited permission
You retain ownership of materials you submit. You grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, review, organize, transmit, and disclose those materials only as reasonably necessary to evaluate the inquiry or application, communicate with you, obtain project input or pricing, maintain records, protect the Site, comply with law, and perform an agreement you authorize. This permission lasts for the period reasonably necessary for those purposes and our lawful retention obligations.
You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit the material and that our permitted use will not violate another person’s privacy, intellectual-property, contractual, or property rights. Do not upload confidential bid information belonging to another contractor, restricted building-security information, unlawfully recorded communications, malicious code, or content unrelated to the request.
10. Acceptable use
You may use the Site only for lawful, genuine informational and business purposes. You may not:
- Submit false identities, fraudulent requests, spam, unlawful content, or information you are not authorized to disclose.
- Probe, scan, attack, overload, bypass, or interfere with the Site, authentication, rate limits, storage, analytics, or other security controls.
- Upload malware or files designed to damage, monitor, or gain unauthorized access to systems or data.
- Scrape, harvest, index, reproduce, or commercially exploit Site content through automated means except as permitted by standard search-engine protocols or our written consent.
- Impersonate Bakken Build Group, our personnel, or a trade partner, or suggest sponsorship, affiliation, licensure, or authorization that does not exist.
- Use the Site to violate law, infringe rights, harass another person, or facilitate unsafe conduct.
11. Intellectual property
Except for your submissions and third-party materials, the Site and its design, layout, copy, graphics, branding, logos, code, and other content are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by intellectual-property and unfair-competition laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to view and use the Site for personal or internal business evaluation.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, publicly display, create derivative works from, or remove notices from Site content without written permission, except for ordinary browser caching, printing a page for your own project evaluation, or conduct otherwise permitted by law. No right to use the Bakken Build Group or Carras Technologies names, logos, or branding is granted by these Terms.
12. Images, portfolio material, and informational content
The Site may use licensed stock photography, conceptual imagery, diagrams, mockups, or representative descriptions to communicate service categories. Unless a page expressly identifies material as a verified Bakken Build Group project, do not interpret it as proof that we completed the depicted work, worked at the depicted property, or achieved an identical result.
We try to keep information accurate, but service descriptions, availability, locations, personnel, technologies, and Site features may change. Typographical errors or outdated content do not create a binding obligation. We may correct or remove content at any time.
13. Third-party services and links
The Site may rely on or link to third-party hosting, analytics, mapping, email, storage, supplier, government, social, or other services. We do not control third-party websites or their availability, content, security, terms, or privacy practices. A link or technical integration does not constitute an endorsement or warranty. Your use of a third-party service is governed by its own terms.
14. Site availability and changes
We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue all or part of the Site without notice. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, compatibility with every device, preservation of every submission, or that defects will be corrected immediately. You should keep your own copies of information and files important to your project or business.
15. Website disclaimers
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE SITE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND SECURITY.
These website disclaimers do not replace any express warranty contained in a signed project agreement and do not exclude warranties or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Construction means, methods, materials, scheduling, workmanship, and project outcomes are governed by the applicable project agreement and law.
16. Limitation of liability for Site use
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BAKKEN BUILD GROUP AND CARRAS TECHNOLOGIES LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OR OPPORTUNITY; OR COSTS ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON SITE CONTENT, TRANSMISSION ERRORS, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, MALWARE, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE.
For claims arising solely from the Site or these Terms, our aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100) or the amount you paid us specifically to use the Site during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply to payment or performance obligations under a separate signed project agreement, gross negligence or willful misconduct where liability cannot be limited, or any right or remedy that applicable law does not allow the parties to limit.
17. Responsibility for misuse
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Carras Technologies LLC, Bakken Build Group, and their managers, personnel, and service providers from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful or malicious use of the Site, your material breach of these Terms, or materials you submit without the necessary rights or authority. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law.
18. Electronic communications
When you submit a form or contact us electronically, you consent to receive responses and transaction-related communications electronically at the contact information you provide. Electronic communications satisfy any requirement that routine website notices be in writing, to the extent permitted by law. This section does not make an unsigned project proposal binding and does not constitute consent to unrelated automated marketing calls or text messages.
19. Governing law and forum
These Terms and disputes arising solely from use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of North Dakota, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any nonwaivable right or a different dispute provision in a signed project agreement, the state and federal courts with jurisdiction in or over Williams County, North Dakota, will be the exclusive forum for such disputes, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.
Before filing a claim about the Site, the parties are encouraged to send written notice describing the issue and allow thirty days for a good-faith effort to resolve it. This informal step does not extend a legal deadline or prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief.
20. General terms
We may update these Terms by posting a revised version and changing the effective date. Changes apply prospectively. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Site.
If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will continue. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer of the Site or business. Headings are for convenience only.
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement concerning use of the Site. A signed project agreement is a separate agreement. The Spanish translation is provided for convenience and accessibility; if the versions are inconsistent, the English version controls to the extent permitted by law.
