3. Use of the Website

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes. You must not:

• Use the Website in a way that is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its systems or related infrastructure
• Knowingly introduce malicious code or interfere with the Website’s operation or security
• Copy, distribute or commercially exploit Website content except as these terms permit or with written permission
• Misrepresent your identity, authority or affiliation with Kirmela

Kirmela may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect the Website, Kirmela or other users.

4. Content, tools and resources

Website content, including articles, guides, tools, frameworks, resources and downloads, is provided for general information and professional insight. It is not a substitute for advice tailored to your organisation, circumstances or legal obligations.

Although Kirmela takes reasonable care in preparing its content, we do not guarantee that all Website content will always be complete, current or suitable for a particular purpose. You are responsible for deciding how to use or rely on it.

5. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the Website and its original content, tools, resources, branding and materials are owned by or licensed to Kirmela and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view Website content and download resources made available for download for your own personal or internal organisational use, subject to any additional licence or terms stated with a particular resource.

Unless Kirmela expressly permits it, you may not reproduce, publish, distribute, sell, sublicense, modify or commercially exploit Kirmela content or resources, or present them as your own.

6. Workshops and consultancy services

Descriptions of workshops, consultancy or advisory services on the Website are for information only. Any paid engagement is subject to separate written terms, scope, fees and other agreed conditions. Nothing on the Website by itself creates a client relationship or constitutes a binding offer to provide services.

7. Paid resources and other offerings

Kirmela may offer paid resources, workshops, learning or other products. Additional purchase, licence, cancellation or usage terms may apply and will be made available where relevant before purchase or participation.

8. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.

Subject to that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Kirmela is not responsible for loss or damage arising solely from reliance on general Website content, or from inability to access or use the Website, where such loss was not reasonably foreseeable or was not caused by Kirmela’s breach of a legal duty.

Different liability provisions may apply to paid consultancy, workshops or other services under the separate terms agreed for those services.

9. External links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. They are provided for convenience or reference. Kirmela does not control those sites and is not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or terms.

10. Website availability and changes

Kirmela may update, change, suspend or withdraw Website content or functionality from time to time. We do not guarantee that the Website or any particular content will always be available.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The latest version will be published on the Website and the date above will be updated where appropriate.

12. Governing law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights that apply to you under applicable law.
