Action required before launch
This document is a working draft. Every value shown in [square brackets] must be completed with the real legal entity details, and the whole page must be reviewed by a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction before this site goes live. It is structured to cover the GDPR disclosure requirements, but structure is not legal advice.
1. Who these terms are with
These terms govern your use of holits.com(the "site"), operated by [registered company name], [registered address], company registration number [registration number] ("Holits", "we", "us"). By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
2. What this site is
The site presents information about our engineering services, together with technical articles, project write-ups and case studies. It is informational. Nothing on it constitutes an offer capable of acceptance, and browsing it does not create a contractual or advisory relationship between us.
3. Enquiries are not engagements
Submitting the contact form starts a conversation. It does not commit either party to anything. Any engagement is governed by a separate written agreement, which will set out scope, deliverables, fees, liability, confidentiality and intellectual property. Where such an agreement conflicts with these terms, that agreement takes precedence.
4. Technical content is not advice for your system
Articles, benchmarks, configuration examples and architectural descriptions on this site describe work carried out in specific environments with specific constraints. They are published so the reasoning is transferable, not so the configuration can be copied blindly. Applying any of it to your own infrastructure is your decision and your responsibility, and you should test it before it touches anything that matters.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or any related system
- probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the site without our prior written consent
- use automated means to submit the contact form, or to send unsolicited commercial messages through it
- place a load on the site that interferes with its availability for other users
- use the site for any unlawful purpose
We rate limit form submissions and use automated abuse prevention. We may restrict access where these terms are breached.
6. Intellectual property
The content, design and code of this site are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright. You may read, quote and link to our articles with attribution. You may not republish substantial portions as your own.
Open-source projects we publish are licensed separately, under the licence stated in each repository, and those licences govern that code — not these terms.
Third-party names and trademarks referenced on this site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only. Their mention does not imply endorsement or affiliation.
7. Third-party links
The site links to external resources we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices.
8. Availability
We aim to keep the site available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it without notice.
9. Disclaimers and liability
The site is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude implied warranties as to accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement of the site's informational content.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data or business interruption arising from use of the site. [State any aggregate liability cap here, and confirm it with a lawyer.]
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in these terms affects the statutory rights of a consumer.
10. Privacy
Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The version published here, with the date shown above, is the one in force. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
12. Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction], and the courts of [jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction — without affecting any mandatory consumer protection rights available to you in your country of residence.
