The rules for using this website.

By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have the authority to do so.

“We,” “us,” and “pomasoft” mean the studio operating this site from British Columbia, Canada. “You” means the person using it.

This is an informational and promotional website describing what the studio does. It is not a product, not a client portal, and nothing is sold through it.

These terms govern the website, not paid work. If we go on to work together, that engagement is governed by a separate written agreement covering scope, fees, timelines, ownership of what we build, and warranties. Nothing on this page creates or alters such an agreement, and nothing here should be read as a commitment to deliver anything.

The content of this site — text, design, layout, code, graphics, and the pomasoft name and wordmark — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and trademark law.

You may view the site, and print or download pages for your own personal, non-commercial reference. Beyond that, you may not copy, republish, redistribute, adapt, frame, or use our content or branding commercially without written permission. Descriptions of past or in-progress work are shown as examples, and may include material belonging to clients or third parties.

Please do not:

• break the law, or infringe anyone’s rights;
• send anything defamatory, harassing, hateful, obscene, or harmful to minors;
• impersonate anyone, or misrepresent who you are;
• use the site to send spam, phishing, malware, or fraudulent messages;
• interfere with the site’s operation, or try to gain unauthorized access to it or to any system connected to it;
• scrape, harvest, or automatically collect information from the site, including for training machine-learning systems, without our written permission;
• probe or load-test the site, or bypass any security or rate-limiting measure;
• reverse engineer or copy the site to build a competing service.

When you send us a note, three things are worth being clear about:

• It is not confidential. The form is a front door, not a secure channel, and sending it creates no duty of confidence and no non-disclosure obligation. Do not send us sensitive personal information, trade secrets, or anything you would not want read in an ordinary email inbox.
• We are not obliged to reply. We aim to respond within 48 hours and usually do. That is a statement of intent, not a contractual promise, and we may decline any inquiry.
• Unsolicited ideas create no obligation. If you send us a concept, proposal, or feature suggestion without a written agreement in place, we are free to use similar ideas without owing you confidentiality, credit, or compensation. Independently developed or generally known ideas are not covered by any duty to you.

What we do with the information you submit is described in our privacy policy.

Everything on this site is general information. It is not consulting, engineering, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and it does not account for your circumstances. Do not act on it without advice suited to your situation.

Reading this site, or sending us a note, does not create a consultant–client or advisory relationship. That begins only when we both sign an engagement.

We sometimes link to third-party sites and services. We do not control them, we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Their terms and privacy policies govern your use of them.

This site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that its content is accurate, complete, or current. We may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of it at any time without notice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of your use of — or inability to use — this site, however caused and on any theory of liability.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to this site is limited to one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100), which reflects that the site is provided free of charge and sells nothing.

Any claim relating to this site must be brought within one year of when it arose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations; where that is the case, the exclusions above apply only to the furthest extent that jurisdiction permits, and nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of this site or your breach of these terms. This is limited to your own conduct.

We may update these terms. The version on this page, with its “last updated” date, is the one in force, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it. For material changes we will move the date, so it is worth a glance.

We may also restrict or withdraw access to the site, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice. The sections on intellectual property, submissions, warranties, liability, indemnity, and governing law survive any termination.

These terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia for any dispute arising out of these terms or this site. We make no representation that the site is appropriate or available in other locations; if you use it from elsewhere, you are responsible for complying with your own local laws.

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, it is severed and the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the privacy policy, are the entire agreement between us regarding this website, and supersede any earlier understanding about it.
