StockPoint Operating Terms & Guidelines

Engineering agreements, point-of-use evaluation rules, and legal conditions governing the use of industrial fieldbook resources.

PROTOCOL: SPF-TERMS-2026.09 EFFECTIVE DATE: SEPTEMBER 03, 2026

StockPoint Fieldbook Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the diagnostic models, Point-of-Use (POU) telemetry benchmarks, vendor-managed inventory (VMI) placement methodologies, and operational documentation published on StockPoint Fieldbook.

01

Acceptance of Terms & Operational Scope

PROTOCOL 01.0 // SCOPE

By accessing, browsing, evaluating, or executing calculation templates hosted on StockPoint Fieldbook (referred to as "the Site", "we", "us", or "our"), you confirm that you have read, comprehended, and agreed to be legally bound by these Terms of Use and our associated Privacy Policy and Disclaimer. If you do not accept these terms in their entirety, you are strictly prohibited from utilizing the resources, calculators, and deployment matrices provided on this platform.

These terms govern all visits to StockPoint Fieldbook, including our technical guides covering MRO Criticality Analysis, Inventory Management & Accounting, and On-site Placement Methodologies.

Operational AuthorityUsers executing calculations on behalf of manufacturing facilities, corporate logistics entities, or MRO storerooms represent that they possess the engineering or managerial authority to evaluate and implement supply-chain strategies.
02

Proprietary Engineering Frameworks & Copyright

PROTOCOL 02.0 // INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All visual interfaces, technical layout diagrams, mathematical formulas, criticality classification scorecards, code scripts, graphic assets, typography styles, and editorial content generated on StockPoint Fieldbook remain the exclusive intellectual property of StockPoint Fieldbook and are protected under international copyright, trademark, and trade dress regulations.

Authorized Use

You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to inspect, print, and reference technical placement frameworks solely for internal facility optimization and educational evaluation.

Prohibited Exploitation

Scraping, framing, mirroring, republishing for commercial sale, or packaging our decision formulas into proprietary commercial SaaS solutions without explicit written authorization is strictly prohibited.

03

Engineering Calculations & Advisory Scope

PROTOCOL 03.0 // METHODOLOGY

The calculators, consumption telemetry models, safety stock models, and point-of-use placement decision trees provided across this fieldbook are designed for general engineering benchmarking and operational analysis. Industrial MRO environments feature variables—including volatile supply lead times, environmental degradation, regulatory compliance, and machine-specific failure rates—that require site-specific verification.
