These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of smartcognis.com. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
These terms govern the public website only. Paid work and client relationships are governed by the proposal, statement of work, master services agreement or other written agreement signed by the relevant parties.
1. Who may use the website
You may use this website only if you can legally agree to these terms and your use complies with applicable law. If you use the website for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to act for it in connection with that use.
2. Website purpose and information
The website introduces Smartcognis, our capabilities, working approach, perspectives and selected project examples. Content is provided for general informational purposes. It is not legal, financial or other regulated professional advice, and it should not be treated as a promise or guarantee of results.
Marketing and search outcomes depend on factors outside our control. Case studies describe particular contexts; past outcomes do not ensure the same outcome for another organization.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the website unlawfully, fraudulently or to harm another person;
- attempt to bypass security, gain unauthorized access or interfere with operation;
- introduce malware, harmful code or excessive automated traffic;
- scrape, extract or reproduce substantial parts of the website in a way that violates law or our rights;
- misrepresent your identity, affiliation or the source of communications; or
- use website content to build, train or improve a competing model, dataset, product or service without our written permission.
Legitimate search-engine indexing, accessibility tools and ordinary browser use are permitted. We may restrict access where we reasonably believe use is unsafe, unlawful or inconsistent with these terms.
4. Intellectual property
The website and its content—including text, design, graphics, brand elements, code, reports and original visualizations—are owned by Smartcognis or used with permission and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may view the website and share links to public pages. You may also make limited copies for internal, non-commercial evaluation, provided notices and attribution remain intact. No other license is granted. Smartcognis names, logos and brand elements may not be used to imply endorsement or affiliation without written permission.
5. Enquiries, feedback and submitted material
You retain ownership of material you send us. You give us permission to use it as reasonably necessary to respond, evaluate an opportunity and operate the requested interaction, subject to our Privacy Policy.
Do not send material you are not authorized to share. An initial enquiry does not create a confidential, fiduciary, advisory or client relationship. If information requires special confidentiality, contact us first so appropriate terms can be agreed.
If you voluntarily provide general feedback about our website or services, we may use it without restriction or payment, provided we do not identify you publicly without permission.
6. Third-party links and services
The website may link to third-party websites or display material that depends on third-party services. We provide those links for convenience and do not control or endorse every third-party practice, statement or availability. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and privacy practices.
7. Availability and disclaimers
We aim to keep the website useful, accurate and secure, but content may become incomplete or outdated and the website may occasionally be unavailable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of uninterrupted access, error-free operation, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Smartcognis and its team will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss arising from use of—or inability to use—the public website, including lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity.
Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability arising from the public website will be limited to the greater of US $100 or the amount you paid us specifically to use the website during the six months before the event giving rise to the claim. This limit does not apply where prohibited by law or to liability that cannot legally be limited.
9. Services and separate agreements
A website enquiry, meeting, proposal or estimate does not obligate either party to proceed. A service engagement begins only when the relevant parties enter a written agreement. That agreement controls the scope, fees, ownership, confidentiality, data processing, warranties, liability and other terms of the work.
10. Changes and general terms
We may update the website and these terms. Revised terms take effect when posted, with the updated date shown above. Your continued use after that date means the revised terms apply to subsequent use.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign rights under these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, sale or transfer of our business. Applicable law and forum will be determined by mandatory law and the circumstances of the dispute unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
