Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 31, 2026

Welcome to my personal website.

This website is a personal portfolio and creative technology space operated by Gusti Azis (“I”, “me”, “my”, or the “Site Owner”). It showcases professional work, software projects, creative technology, technical writing, case studies, experiments, prototypes, research, and other related work.

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website.

These Terms are intended for a personal portfolio and are not intended to create a commercial service relationship merely because you visit or browse the website.

1. About This Website

This website is provided primarily for informational, professional, educational, and creative purposes.

The website may contain:

Some projects may be experimental, unfinished, discontinued, archived, or created primarily for exploration and demonstration.

The appearance of a project on this website does not necessarily mean that it is currently maintained, commercially available, production-ready, supported, or suitable for a particular purpose.

Projects, examples, descriptions, technologies, results, metrics, and opinions may change over time.

2. Ownership and Intellectual Property

2.1 Site Owner's original material

Unless otherwise stated, original content created by me for this website is owned by me or is used by me under an applicable license, permission, or other legal right.

This may include, depending on the particular material:

The fact that material appears on this website does not by itself mean that every element of a project is owned by me.

2.2 Third-party, employer, client, and collaborative material

Some projects may contain or refer to material owned or controlled by:

Such material remains subject to the rights of its applicable owner or licensor.

The appearance of a project, company name, logo, screenshot, product, design, source code, dataset, photograph, or other material on this website does not necessarily mean that I own that material or that I have authority to license it to you beyond the rights I actually hold.

Where a project was created as part of employment, consulting, collaboration, or a client engagement, ownership and licensing may be governed by separate agreements or by rights belonging to another party.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of third-party material to me or to you.

2.3 No implied ownership or license

Except where expressly stated otherwise, nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of my original work.

Likewise, nothing in these Terms grants you rights to employer-, client-, collaborator-, contributor-, or other third-party-owned material.

3. Permitted Use of Website Content

You may access and view the website for lawful personal, informational, educational, professional, research, and reference purposes.

Reasonable linking to this website is permitted.

You may also quote or reference limited portions of publicly available content where such use is permitted by applicable law, provided that you do not misrepresent the source, imply an endorsement or affiliation that does not exist, or remove applicable copyright or attribution information.

Unless expressly permitted by an applicable license or by me in writing, you may not:

These restrictions apply only to rights that I own or control. They do not override rights granted by applicable law or licenses belonging to third parties.

4. Source Code, Open Source, and Project-Specific Licenses

Some projects displayed on this website may include source code, open-source software, third-party libraries, frameworks, datasets, assets, APIs, or other materials governed by separate licenses.

4.1 Project-specific licenses

Where a project is expressly released under a specific software or content license, that license governs the relevant material to the extent of any conflict with these Terms.

For example, a repository may contain a LICENSE file, license notice, README, package metadata, or other project-specific licensing terms.

Those terms should be reviewed before using, modifying, distributing, or commercially exploiting the relevant project.

4.2 No implied software license

Making source code publicly accessible, linking to a repository, or displaying code on this website does not by itself grant you a license to copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, or commercially use that code.

Where no license is expressly provided, you should assume that no additional copyright license has been granted except for rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.

4.3 Third-party and open-source components

Third-party and open-source materials remain subject to their respective licenses.

These Terms do not override or restrict rights that you receive directly under an applicable third-party or open-source license.

You are responsible for reviewing and complying with the applicable license terms, notices, attribution requirements, and other conditions before using such materials.

5. Portfolio and Case Studies

Case studies and project descriptions are provided to explain aspects of my work, process, decisions, experiments, technical approaches, and outcomes.

For confidentiality, contractual, security, privacy, or intellectual-property reasons, information may be:

The information presented should not be interpreted as a complete disclosure of the underlying project or engagement.

Some projects may have been performed for an employer, client, collaborator, or other organization. The appearance of such work on this website does not necessarily mean that I own the underlying intellectual property.

Where third-party rights apply, those rights remain with their respective owners.

Any project, company, client, product, metric, result, technology, or business outcome described on this website should not be interpreted as a guarantee that the same result can or will be achieved in another context.

If you believe that material has been displayed without appropriate authorization, please contact me using the contact information provided at the end of these Terms.

6. Labs, Experiments, and Prototypes

The Labs, Experiments, and similar sections may contain software, hardware, prototypes, algorithms, interfaces, demonstrations, concepts, research, or other experimental work.

Such material may:

Experimental projects are provided “as is” and “as available” to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

You should not rely on experimental projects for safety-critical, medical, financial, legal, security-sensitive, operational, or otherwise consequential purposes.

You are responsible for evaluating and testing any project before using it in a production or consequential environment.

Your use of experimental projects is at your own risk, subject to any rights and protections that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

7. No Professional or Technical Advice

Content published on this website is provided for general informational, educational, professional, and creative purposes.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, nothing on this website constitutes personalized professional advice or creates a professional-client relationship.

This includes, where relevant:

Technical examples, code, demonstrations, research, and explanations should be independently evaluated and appropriately tested before being relied upon or deployed.

You should obtain appropriate professional advice where the consequences of a decision require it.

8. Accuracy and Availability

I make reasonable efforts to keep the website useful and accurate, but I do not guarantee that information on the website will always be:

These resources are provided for convenience, reference, or functionality.

I do not control third-party services and am not responsible for their:

Your use of a third-party website or service is subject to that provider's own terms, licenses, and policies.

A link or reference does not necessarily constitute an endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or affiliation.

10. Website Availability and Security

I do not guarantee that the website will always be:

The website may become unavailable because of maintenance, hosting problems, infrastructure failures, software changes, attacks, dependency failures, third-party services, or circumstances beyond my reasonable control.

Nothing in this section is intended to restrict rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.

13. Artificial Intelligence and Machine-Learning Experiments

Some projects, demonstrations, or experiments on this website may involve artificial intelligence, machine learning, generative AI, automation, or other computational systems.

Such systems may produce:

AI-generated or machine-generated outputs displayed on the website should not automatically be treated as authoritative information or as representing my personal views unless explicitly stated.

Where an AI-related project has specific licensing, attribution, usage, or model terms, those project-specific terms apply.

You should independently evaluate AI-generated results before relying on them.

14. User Submissions

Some parts of the website may allow visitors to submit messages, comments, feedback, files, images, code, or other material.

If you submit content, you remain responsible for that content and must have the necessary rights and permissions to submit it.

You must not submit content that:

Do not submit confidential information

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to provide anything you submit.

Limited submission license

You retain ownership of content that you submit, subject to rights belonging to other parties.

By submitting content, you grant me a limited, non-exclusive permission to host, store, reproduce, process, review, moderate, and otherwise use that content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, provide, and respond through the relevant website feature.

I will not use a submission for unrelated public publication or commercial exploitation merely because you submitted it, unless you separately agree to that use or another legal basis permits it.

I may remove, reject, restrict, or disable access to submissions that I reasonably believe violate these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others.

15. Privacy and Personal Data

Your use of this website may involve the processing of personal data depending on the features and services actually used.

The website's Privacy Policy explains applicable information about personal-data processing, including where relevant:

The Privacy Policy forms a separate document and should be read together with these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to replace or limit rights or obligations arising under applicable personal-data protection law.

If you submit personal data through the website, you should review the Privacy Policy before doing so.

16. Copyright and Intellectual-Property Concerns

I respect the intellectual-property rights of others.

  5. Your contact information
  6. Any other information reasonably necessary for me to assess the issue

I may review the matter and, where appropriate, remove, modify, clarify, or restrict access to the relevant material.

Nothing in this section creates an obligation to remove material where I reasonably believe that its use is authorized, lawful, licensed, or otherwise permitted.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

I do not make warranties or representations that the website or its content will:

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty, right, or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I will not be liable for losses arising from or related to:

This section applies only to the extent that the relevant limitation is permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including any liability or legal protection that applicable law makes mandatory.

You remain responsible for deciding whether information, software, code, or experimental work is appropriate for your particular circumstances.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses arising directly from:

  1. Your unlawful use of the website;
  2. Your material violation of these Terms; or
  3. Your infringement of another person's rights through content or materials that you submit or use.

This section does not require you to indemnify me for my own unlawful conduct or for liability that cannot lawfully be transferred to you.

20. Suspension and Termination

I may suspend, restrict, or discontinue access to particular website features, projects, or submission mechanisms where reasonably necessary to:

Because this is a personal portfolio, I may also discontinue projects, experiments, demonstrations, or other content at my discretion.

Sections concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, and other provisions that by their nature should continue will survive the discontinuation of the website or a particular feature.

21. Changes to These Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time.

When changes are made, I will update the “Last updated” date at the beginning of this page.

Unless otherwise stated, revised Terms become effective when posted on this website.

Where applicable law requires additional notice, consent, or a different effective date, I will follow the applicable requirement.

Your continued use of the website after revised Terms become effective may constitute acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

22. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Indonesia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent that applicable mandatory law provides otherwise.

Nothing in this section is intended to deprive you of mandatory legal protections that cannot lawfully be waived or excluded.

23. Dispute Resolution and Jurisdiction

If a dispute arises concerning these Terms or your use of the website, I encourage you to contact me first so that we can attempt to resolve the matter informally.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts having lawful jurisdiction in Jakarta, Indonesia, subject to any mandatory jurisdictional or consumer-protection rules that apply.

Nothing in this section prevents a party from seeking urgent or legally available relief from another court where permitted or required by applicable law.

24. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it lawful and enforceable where possible.

If that is not possible, the affected provision will be severed to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

25. No Waiver

If I do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean that I have permanently waived the right to enforce that provision later.

Any waiver of a provision should not be treated as a waiver of any other provision or of future breaches unless expressly stated otherwise.

26. Entire Agreement and Project-Specific Terms

These Terms constitute the general terms governing use of this website, together with any other policies expressly referenced by the website.

However, where a particular project, repository, software package, asset, or third-party service has its own license or terms, those project-specific or third-party terms govern the relevant material to the extent applicable.
