I’m Arjun Mehta, and I built this site to share practical, experience-based guidance on evaluating raw land, managing drainage, and controlling erosion before you commit to a home or construction project. These Terms of Use explain the ground rules for using the information you find here. By accessing or using geotextileerosioncontrol.com, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
1. Acceptance of Terms
Every time you visit this website, read a guide, or use any of the content, you’re accepting the terms outlined on this page. I may update them occasionally, and your continued use means you accept any changes. It’s your responsibility to check back here from time to time.
2. Intellectual Property
All the writing, diagrams, photographs, and other materials on this site are my original work or used with permission. They’re protected by Indian and international copyright laws. You’re welcome to read, bookmark, and share links to the site. But you can’t reproduce, republish, or distribute any content for commercial purposes without my written consent. If you’d like to quote a short excerpt for a personal blog or educational use, please link back to the original page and credit clearly.
3. Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability
I spent over a decade as a field engineer designing erosion control systems, and I’ve seen firsthand how site-specific soil, slope, and water flow can be. The guides here reflect that experience, but they are for general educational purposes only. They are not a substitute for on-site professional advice from a qualified civil engineer, geotechnical consultant, or legal expert familiar with your local regulations and land conditions.
I make no warranties about the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of the information. You assume full responsibility for any actions you take based on what you read here. I won’t be liable for any loss, damage, or injury arising from the use of this site or its content — whether it’s a construction delay, a failed foundation, a financial setback, or anything else. Always get your soil tested, study your slope, and talk to a local professional before you buy or build.
4. User Responsibilities
You agree to use this site only for lawful purposes and in a way that doesn’t infringe on anyone else’s rights or restrict their enjoyment of the site. Don’t attempt to damage, overload, or hack the site, and don’t scrape or systematically extract content without permission.
5. Third-Party Links
Occasionally, I may link to external websites, tools, or resources that I think could be helpful. I have no control over those sites and can’t vouch for their content, security, or practices. Following any third-party link is at your own risk, and I’m not responsible for what you find there.
6. Changes to the Terms
I may revise these Terms of Use at any time as the site evolves. When I do, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. If the changes are significant, I might highlight them more prominently, but it’s still your job to stay informed. Using the site after changes are made means you accept the revised terms.
7. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes related to the site or these terms will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Pune, Maharashtra. This applies regardless of where you’re accessing the site from.
8. Contact
If you have questions about these Terms of Use, you can reach me at [email protected]. I’ll try to respond, but please understand that I can’t offer personal engineering advice through this channel — I’d need to see your site for that.
