These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of testasbestos.nyc (the "Site") operated by TestAsbestos.nyc, part of the AZARK ecosystem ("TestAsbestos.nyc," "we," "our," or "us"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
Purpose of the Site
The Site provides information about asbestos testing, inspection, sampling, laboratory testing coordination, ACP-5 filing support, pre-renovation surveys, pre-demolition surveys, and permit-related asbestos documentation services for NYC construction, renovation, alteration, and demolition projects. Nothing on the Site constitutes a binding offer, a contractor agreement, legal advice, engineering advice, or a regulatory determination. Project requirements should be confirmed with the applicable agencies and qualified licensed professionals.
Services and Licensed Parties
TestAsbestos.nyc coordinates asbestos inspections, surveys, sampling, laboratory testing, and ACP-5 filings through NYC DEP-certified asbestos investigators and accredited laboratories. All asbestos investigations and ACP-5 filings are performed by or under the supervision of properly certified professionals where required by NYC DEP and NYS DOL regulations.
Where appropriate, projects may involve separate affiliated companies in the AZARK ecosystem that provide remediation coordination, compliance, architecture, or related services under their own agreements.
Nothing on this Site should be interpreted as a representation that TestAsbestos.nyc performs regulated abatement work. Asbestos abatement must be performed by properly licensed asbestos abatement contractors and certified personnel under separate arrangements.
Use of the Site
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. You agree not to use the Site to violate any applicable law or regulation, infringe the rights of others, transmit harmful or malicious code, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site or related systems, scrape or copy content for commercial purposes without written consent, or interfere with the operation or security of the Site.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Site for any user who violates these Terms.
Submissions and Uploaded Content
When you submit information through a contact form or upload files such as lab results, asbestos survey reports, floor plans, photographs, or other project documents, you represent that you have the right to share that information and that the submission does not violate any third-party rights or confidentiality obligations.
You grant TestAsbestos.nyc a limited, non-exclusive license to use submitted information for the purpose of evaluating the inquiry, providing services, communicating with you, and coordinating with relevant parties. We do not claim ownership of your submitted content. Uploaded materials are reviewed by our team only and are not shared without your written consent except as needed to coordinate inspection, laboratory testing, or filing work on your behalf.
Estimates, Scope, and Project Requirements
Any estimates, scopes of work, timelines, or guidance provided through the Site or in response to inquiries are preliminary and subject to confirmation through a written agreement. Final scope and pricing depend on the size of the work area, number of samples required, laboratory turnaround, agency requirements, and other factors that may not be fully apparent at the time of initial review.
Agency determinations, permit approvals, ACP-5 acceptance, and DOB permit release timelines depend on NYC DEP and NYC DOB review processes outside our direct control. We coordinate the work and submit required documentation but cannot guarantee specific outcomes or approval timelines.
No Legal, Engineering, or Regulatory Advice
Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, engineering advice, architectural advice, or a regulatory determination. Information about NYC DEP, DOL, and DOB asbestos requirements reflects our general experience and is subject to change as agency rules and procedures evolve. Always confirm current requirements directly with the applicable agency or qualified licensed counsel before making project decisions.
