Terms & disclaimers

1. What These Terms Cover

These terms apply to latifhorst.com, the public portfolio, writing, project pages, visualizations, chat features, avatar experiences, contact flows, and any other public feature made available through this site.

They do not replace a signed agreement. If you have a separate written contract with Latif or an affiliated company, that written contract controls for the work it covers.

2. Informational Site Only

This site is provided for general informational, portfolio, recruiting, business-development, and educational purposes. Project descriptions, architecture diagrams, screenshots, metrics, timelines, and outcomes may be simplified, rounded, anonymized, illustrative, or updated over time.

Nothing on this site is a promise that a product, system, service, investment, hiring decision, partnership, or business result will perform in the same way for you or anyone else.

3. Audience And Age

This site is intended for adult, professional, recruiting, founder, enterprise, and business audiences. It is not directed to children under 13.

Children should not use the chat, avatar, contact, or access-request features or submit personal information through this site.

4. No Professional Advice

Content on this site is not legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, security, medical, employment, compliance, or other licensed professional advice.

Using the site does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, advisory, consulting, employment, partnership, agency, or client relationship. Do not rely on site content as a substitute for independent professional judgment.

5. AI, Chat, And Avatar Outputs

Some responses may be generated, summarized, routed, or assisted by AI systems using available site material, project context, or user-provided prompts. AI-generated outputs can be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or inappropriate for your situation.

You are responsible for independently verifying anything important before relying on it. Do not treat an AI, chat, or avatar response as approval, legal clearance, financial guidance, security review, hiring guidance, or a binding statement by any company.

6. User Inputs And Confidential Information

Do not submit confidential, sensitive, privileged, regulated, trade-secret, personal, customer, health, financial, security, credential, source-code, or internal company information unless a specific approved channel and written agreement say otherwise.

Prompts, messages, contact requests, account-access requests, device details, and session information may be processed by service providers used to operate, secure, analyze, improve, and respond through the site.

7. Privacy And Data Handling

The site may collect or process usage data, device and browser information, analytics events, chat and avatar session data, contact or access-request information, and security logs. This information is used to operate the site, protect it, understand usage, improve the experience, and respond to requests.

The site may use third-party infrastructure, analytics, AI, video/avatar, email, and hosting providers. The site does not intentionally sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and privacy requests can be made through the request-access/contact flow.

8. Third-Party Services, Links, And Names

This site may link to or embed third-party websites, products, documentation, infrastructure, media, AI services, analytics services, or social platforms. Those services are controlled by their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices.

References to employers, customers, partners, products, vendors, platforms, logos, or company names are for identification and context only. Unless expressly stated, they do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, approval, affiliation, or permission.

Latif is not responsible for third-party content, uptime, conduct, data handling, claims, security, or availability.

9. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, site content, copy, visuals, diagrams, code examples, marks, and project presentation are owned by or licensed to Latif or the relevant rightsholder.

You may view and share public page links, but you may not scrape, republish, train models on, commercially reuse, remove attribution from, or create derivative works from site content without written permission.

10. No Warranties

The site and its content are provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Latif disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and error-free operation.

The site may change, break, go offline, be limited, or be removed at any time.

11. Limitation Of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Latif and any affiliated entities, contractors, service providers, or representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, lost-profit, lost-data, business-interruption, reputational, or reliance damages arising from use of the site.

Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the site is to stop using it. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some limits may not apply to you.

12. Governing Law

Unless another written agreement says otherwise or applicable law requires a different result, these terms are governed by the laws of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute must be handled in a court with proper jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer or privacy rights that cannot be waived.

13. Changes

These terms may be updated as the site, products, laws, and operating model change. The last-updated date controls the current public version.

Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the updated terms.
