1. About this site
This Site exists to document my skills, experience, writing, and interests. It does not offer, advertise, or solicit professional services, freelance work, or client engagements of any kind. All views expressed here are my own and do not represent the views of my employer or any organisation I am associated with.

3. Intellectual property
All content on the Site — articles, copy, the "A" mark, and design — is owned by me unless otherwise noted. You're welcome to quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back. Republishing full articles, or using the brand mark, requires my written permission. Third-party trademarks (such as the names of tools and platforms mentioned) belong to their respective owners.
4. No professional advice
Content on the Site — including articles about marketing, growth, AI, and security — is provided for general information only. It is not professional, legal, or financial advice, and it may become outdated.

8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Site or its content. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid to use the Site — which is nothing.
