EarthCentric Consulting & Eco-Solutions Ltd.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern the use of this website and any services provided by EarthCentric Consulting & Eco-Solutions Ltd. (“EarthCentric”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By accessing this website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.

1. Scope of Services

EarthCentric provides environmental and ecological consulting support, including environmental monitoring (EM), erosion and sediment control (ESC) inspections, ecological assessments, restoration support, and land and water stewardship advisory services.

Services may include field observations, data collection, reporting, coordination, and practical recommendations. All services are provided as field-based support and advisory guidance, unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.

2. Professional Status and Collaboration

EarthCentric provides services within its defined professional scope and does not provide certified professional opinions, regulatory sign-off, or services requiring designation unless explicitly stated in writing.

EarthCentric is not acting as a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) and does not provide services requiring designation as a Registered Professional Biologist (RPBio), Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), Professional Agrologist (P.Ag.), CPESC, or equivalent regulated professional.

Where regulatory approval, certification, or professional sign-off is required, EarthCentric may coordinate and collaborate with appropriately qualified professionals.

In such cases:

  • The qualified professional is solely responsible for all certified work, conclusions, and sign-off
  • EarthCentric’s role remains limited to field support, data collection, coordination, and advisory input unless otherwise defined in writing
  • Engagement of qualified professionals may be arranged by EarthCentric or directly by the client, depending on project requirements

3. Advisory Nature of Services

All recommendations, assessments, and observations are:

  • Based on site conditions at the time of assessment
  • Provided for general planning, coordination, and decision-support purposes
  • Not a substitute for certified professional advice, regulatory approvals, or engineered design

4. No Guarantee of Outcomes

EarthCentric does not guarantee:

  • Regulatory approvals or permits
  • Project outcomes or performance
  • Environmental compliance where recommendations are not fully implemented

All outcomes depend on site conditions, implementation, regulatory decisions, and third-party actions beyond our control.

5. Environmental and Site Uncertainty

Environmental conditions are inherently variable.

  • Provides observations based on conditions at the time of assessment

7. Third-Party Services

  • EarthCentric is not responsible for decisions made based on incomplete, outdated, or third-party information
