Terms of use.

The agreement that governs your use of this site, its free guides, and its content. Please read it together with the privacy policy before using the Service.

1. Acceptance and eligibility

By accessing robertobuilds.co, subscribing to the newsletter, downloading a free guide, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (the “Terms”) and by the privacy policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. You represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in your province, state, or country of residence and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms; or that you are between 13 and that age and are using the Service with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. The Service is not directed to children under 13.

2. What the Service is

robertobuilds (the “Service”) is a personal website operated by Roberto Temelkovski, an individual sole operator based in Ontario, Canada (“I”, “me”, “my”). It hosts a blog, a tools and projects portfolio, and email-gated free guides published as part of an ongoing build-in-public series. There are no paid products, no user accounts, no payment processing, and no community features at this time. I may add, change, suspend, or remove any part of the Service at any time.

3. Free guides and licence to use content

Guides are offered at no cost in exchange for your name and email address. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, I grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and read the guides and to apply what you learn to your own work. You may share the public guide URL. You may not republish, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the contents of a guide, repackage them into a competing or derivative product, remove or alter attribution, or present them as your own. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. Email subscriptions

Subscribing or claiming a guide means I may send you the guide you requested, occasional updates about new posts and tools, and the build log of the ongoing series. By submitting your details you consent to receiving these communications for the purposes of Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Every email contains a one-click unsubscribe link; unsubscribing removes you from active sending lists promptly. How your information is collected, used, and stored is described in the privacy policy.

5. Acceptable use and prohibited conduct

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. You agree that you will not:

  • submit fake, automated, disposable, or another person's email address, or provide false, inaccurate, or misleading information;
  • attempt to circumvent, disable, or defeat the email gate on guide pages by scraping, automation, bypass tooling, or other technical means;
  • probe, scan, penetration-test, or attack the Service, its API endpoints, its infrastructure, or its third-party providers, or breach or attempt to breach any security or authentication measure;
  • upload, transmit, or distribute any virus, worm, malware, or other harmful code, or any unsolicited or bulk communications;
  • post or transmit content that is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, harassing, threatening, hateful, or that infringes any intellectual-property or other right;
  • impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
  • republish gated content publicly or behind your own paywall, or use the Service to develop a competing product;
  • use the Service in any manner that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair it, or interfere with any other party's use of it.

I may investigate and take any legal or technical action I consider appropriate in response to actual or suspected violations, including restricting or terminating your access.

6. Intellectual property, trademarks, and copyright complaints

All content on the Service — writing, code samples, illustrations, design, layout, and the robertobuilds name and wordmark — is owned by Roberto Temelkovski and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws, unless explicitly stated otherwise. The robertobuilds name and wordmark are my trademarks; you may not use them without my prior written permission. Code snippets shared in blog posts and guides may be used in your own work on the understanding that you have read and understood them and accept all responsibility for any consequence of running them; they are provided without warranty of any kind.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to privacy@robertobuilds.co including: identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location on the Service; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised; and a statement, made in good faith, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf. I respond to valid notices consistent with applicable copyright law, including the Canadian notice-and-notice regime and equivalent processes.

7. Educational content — no professional advice or earnings guarantee

The blog, guides, series, and tools are provided for general informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute professional, financial, investment, legal, tax, or business advice. They describe my own experience building in public; they are not a promise or guarantee of any outcome. I do not guarantee that you will earn any money, achieve any particular result, or replicate any figure, timeline, or income referenced anywhere on the Service, including in the build-in-public series. Any results described are illustrative of my own situation, are not typical, and depend on many factors outside my knowledge or control. You are solely responsible for evaluating, and for any decision or action you take based on, anything you find on the Service, and you should obtain independent professional advice before acting. Tools in the portfolio are experimental, may be incomplete, and may change or be withdrawn at any time.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service and all of its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty or condition of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. I do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any content is accurate, complete, current, or reliable. The Service may be subject to interruptions, delays, or errors due to maintenance or factors beyond my reasonable control, for which I am not liable. You use the Service and anything you obtain from it at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

9. Limitation of liability and indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service or any content, guide, tool, or code sample, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, my total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100); because the Service is provided free of charge, no fees have been paid that could form a larger cap. I am not responsible for any loss of, corruption of, or unauthorised access to data transmitted to or from the Service that is beyond my reasonable control. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits my liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including non-waivable consumer or statutory rights.

You agree to indemnify and hold me harmless from any claim, liability, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of any third-party right.

10. Third-party links and services

The Service links to and relies on third-party sites, tools, and service providers (including those named in the privacy policy). I do not control and am not responsible for their content, terms, availability, or privacy practices, and any reliance on them is at your own risk. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.

11. Termination and changes to the Service

I may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, if I believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in unlawful or harmful conduct, or to protect the Service. I may also modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any guide, tool, or feature, at any time without liability to you. The sections concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, dispute resolution, and governing law survive any termination.

12. Changes to these Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective” and “Last updated” dates at the top of this page indicate the current version, and material changes will be communicated by email to subscribers where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of them. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the Service.

13. Dispute resolution and governing law

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or the Service, are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Before commencing any formal proceeding, you agree to first attempt in good faith to resolve the matter informally by contacting me at privacy@robertobuilds.co and allowing at least thirty (30) days to reach a resolution. If the matter is not resolved, you and I submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada, and you consent to venue there. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim will be brought only in an individual capacity and not as part of any class or representative proceeding, and each party waives any right to a jury trial. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable right you may have under applicable consumer-protection law to bring or participate in proceedings in your own jurisdiction.

14. General

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. These Terms, together with the privacy policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and me regarding the Service and supersede all prior understandings. My failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without my prior written consent; I may assign these Terms without restriction. I am not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond my reasonable control. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. Any feedback or suggestions you send me may be used without restriction or any obligation to you.
