These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Short Life website and the Free Cost Segregation Benefit Analysis service ("Service") operated by Emerson Layne LLC d/b/a Layne Cost Segregation ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By submitting a request for a Free Benefit Analysis, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not submit your information or use the Service.
Short Life is a content brand that connects real estate investors with cost segregation analysis services provided by Layne Cost Segregation, an engineering-based cost segregation firm. When you request a Free Benefit Analysis, our team will review the property information you provide and prepare a preliminary analysis estimating potential tax savings through accelerated depreciation strategies, including cost segregation.
The Free Benefit Analysis is a preliminary estimate only. It is not a formal engineering study, a tax opinion, or a guarantee of any specific tax outcome.
The Free Benefit Analysis does not constitute tax advice, legal advice, financial advice, or a formal cost segregation study. Results are estimates based on the information you provide and general industry assumptions.
You should consult with a qualified CPA, tax attorney, or financial advisor before making any decisions based on the information provided in your benefit analysis. Actual tax savings will depend on your specific tax situation, the results of a formal engineering study, IRS regulations in effect at the time, and other factors beyond our control.
Layne Cost Segregation is an engineering firm, not a tax or legal advisory firm. Engaging with our analysis services does not create a professional advisory relationship.
You represent and warrant that all information you submit through our website is accurate, complete, and current to the best of your knowledge. We rely on the information you provide to prepare your benefit analysis. Inaccurate or incomplete information may result in an inaccurate analysis.
We reserve the right to decline to provide a benefit analysis if the information submitted is incomplete, inconsistent, or if we determine in our discretion that the property does not qualify for cost segregation.
By submitting the form on our website, you expressly consent to be contacted by Short Life and Layne Cost Segregation at the phone number and email address you provide, including via:
This consent is not a condition of purchase or receipt of the Free Benefit Analysis. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any SMS, clicking unsubscribe in any email, or contacting us at [email protected].
