Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Beginner Projects website (the “Site”). By using this Site, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. THE “LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER” CONCEPT

The Site is a personal collection of AI-assisted projects and educational experiments. It is not a professional software library, nor is it a consultancy. Think of this site as a “look over my shoulder” experience: I am sharing how I solve problems and the code I use to do it. You are welcome to learn from these examples, but you do so at your own pace and your own risk.

2. EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE & NO WARRANTY

All code, tutorials, and examples provided on the Site are for educational and inspirational purposes only.

  • “As-Is” Basis: Everything is provided “as-is.” I make no guarantees that the code is bug-free, secure, or suitable for any specific purpose.
  • No Professional Advice: Content on this site does not constitute professional engineering or software development advice.
  • Sandbox First: I strongly recommend testing any code in a safe “sandbox” environment before using it for anything important.

3. USER RESPONSIBILITY & RISK

When you copy, modify, or run code from this Site, you assume full responsibility for the outcome.

  • Modification: You are solely responsible for any changes you make to the code.
  • Execution: You are responsible for the environment in which you run the code.
  • Caution: Use appropriate caution and validation when implementing any script or tool found here.

4. OPEN SHARING & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

I believe in open learning. You are encouraged to use the code examples for your own personal projects. However:

  • Non-Commercial Use: The content and site design are for personal, non-commercial use.
  • Attribution: While not required, it is always appreciated if you credit the source when sharing your versions of these projects.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Beginner Projects and its contributors shall not be liable for any damages (including direct, indirect, or consequential damages) arising from the use of the Site or any code provided here. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Data loss or corruption.
  • System crashes or hardware malfunctions.
  • Security vulnerabilities resulting from the use of shared code.

6. USER CONDUCT

While this is a space for beginners, I ask that you use the Site lawfully. You agree not to:

  • Attempt to disrupt the Site’s functionality.
  • Use the Site to distribute harmful content or malware.
  • Engage in technical elitism or harassment within the community comments.

7. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Vancouver, British Columbia.

8. MODIFICATIONS

I may update these Terms from time to time to reflect the evolving nature of the projects. Changes are effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the site means you accept the updated Terms.

9. FINAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By using this site, you acknowledge that:

  1. You are learning from a fellow enthusiast, not a certified software firm.
  2. You assume all risks associated with executing code.
  3. You waive any claims against the Site and its contributors for damages resulting from the use of these educational materials.
