Terms of Service
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Brightleafguide website. Brightleafguide provides educational content relating to digital systems, automation, and data practices. By using this site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use. The following sections explain permitted use, content licensing, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and how disputes are resolved. The language aims to be clear and neutral while outlining the legal framework that supports an educational information platform.
Permitted use and content
Brightleafguide grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to view and use the site for personal, academic, or internal organizational learning and research. Users may read, cite, and excerpt material for educational purposes with appropriate attribution. Reuse beyond fair educational citation—such as republication, redistribution, or commercial resale—requires prior written permission. Content is provided for general informational purposes and is not tailored to individual circumstances. Users must not attempt to impersonate the site or its contributors, distribute spam, or perform activities that interfere with site operation. We may suspend access for violations of these terms or for security reasons.
Intellectual property
All editorial content, page designs, images used under license, and site code are protected by copyright and related rights. Where third-party imagery or assets are used, they are licensed appropriately and attributed when required. Users may not remove or alter copyright notices. Requests to reuse significant portions of content should be directed to [email protected] for licensing guidance. Where users submit content or feedback, you grant Brightleafguide a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and modify submissions for the purpose of improving or publishing content, subject to privacy considerations described in the Privacy Policy.
Disclaimer and no financial/professional advice
All material on Brightleafguide is educational and neutral. Content explains system architectures, methods, and conceptual trade-offs; it does not constitute professional, legal, medical, or financial advice. Readers should not rely on content as the sole basis for operational decisions. When examples or descriptions reference technologies or methods, they are illustrative of system design concepts and are not endorsements or guarantees of results. The site contains clear statements and disclaimers on relevant pages that the content is for informational and educational use only. Users seeking applied or jurisdiction-specific guidance should consult qualified professionals.
Limitation of liability and warranties
Brightleafguide provides content "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Brightleafguide and its affiliates, contributors, and service providers disclaim liability for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. This limitation applies even if Brightleafguide has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions may not permit limitation of liability; where such rules apply, our liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Links and third-party content
The site may link to external resources for background or citation purposes. Those links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement. Brightleafguide does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Embedded content or tools supplied by third parties are subject to the third party's terms and policies. Users should review external site policies before interacting with them.
Termination and modification
We may modify these Terms of Service at any time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after posting constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Brightleafguide may suspend or terminate access to the site for any user who violates these Terms or for operational, security, or legal reasons. We will endeavor to provide notice where feasible.
Governing law and dispute resolution
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes arising under these terms will be resolved by the competent courts located in San Francisco County, California, unless a different forum is required by mandatory law. Nothing in this section limits Brightleafguide's right to seek injunctive relief in any jurisdiction when necessary to protect intellectual property or prevent unauthorized use.
