Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms, I grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and view the Site for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
3. My intellectual property
All content on the Site — including text, copy, graphics, logos, icons, images, photographs, audio, video, code, design, layout, "look and feel", compilations, data, and other materials (collectively, "Site Content") — is owned by me or my licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, database, and other intellectual-property laws.

4. Your submissions
Any information, data, content, ideas, feedback, suggestions, code, designs, materials, attachments, messages, emails, or other submissions that you transmit, upload, send, post, message, email, or otherwise make available to me, the Site, or any of my channels (collectively, "Submissions") are governed by Section 5 of the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of Site Content without seeking independent professional advice. Engagement to provide professional services requires a separate, signed, written agreement.

I do not own or control those third parties, and I am not responsible for their content, policies, availability, or practices.

8. Disclaimers
The Site and all Site Content are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", with all faults, and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, security, availability, uninterrupted operation, or freedom from errors, viruses, or harmful components.
I do not warrant that the Site will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. Any reliance on the Site is at your sole risk.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall I be liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, loss of goodwill, or cost of substitute services, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Site, however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
My aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount, if any, you have paid me directly in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) one hundred euros (€100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, and in those jurisdictions the foregoing limitations apply only to the extent permitted.
