1. Acceptance of the Terms
By visiting or otherwise using sharedrecordnotes.bond (the "Site"), operated under the name Sharedrecordnotes, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should discontinue use of the Site. These Terms apply to every visitor, reader, and user of the Site regardless of how they arrived at it, including through search engines, direct links, or references from other publications.
These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated here by reference. Continued use of the Site after any revision to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Who May Use the Site
The Site is intended for a general audience seeking educational and informational content about software distribution standards, package management concepts, and related technical topics. There is no registration or account system, and no age-gated content is offered. If local law in your jurisdiction restricts access to informational websites for any reason, it is your responsibility to comply with that law.
3. Permitted and Prohibited Use
You may read, share links to, and reference the content published on the Site for personal, educational, or non-commercial informational purposes. You may not:
- Reproduce, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of the Site's content without clear attribution to Sharedrecordnotes and a link back to sharedrecordnotes.bond.
- Use automated systems to scrape, harvest, or bulk-download content in a manner that places unreasonable load on the Site's infrastructure.
- Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site, its underlying code, or any server or network connected to it.
- Misrepresent content from the Site as your own original work or as officially endorsed by any software vendor, project, or organization mentioned in passing.
- Use the Site to distribute malicious code, unsolicited communications, or content that violates applicable law.
We reserve the right to restrict or block access from any source that we reasonably believe is engaged in prohibited use.
4. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, all text, illustrations, layout, and original explanatory material published on the Site are the property of Sharedrecordnotes or its licensors and are protected by applicable copyright and other intellectual property laws. Trademarks, product names, and terminology referenced in an explanatory or descriptive capacity remain the property of their respective owners; such references are made solely for identification and educational context and do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.
You may quote brief excerpts of the Site's content for commentary, criticism, or educational purposes consistent with fair use principles, provided that you credit Sharedrecordnotes and link to the original page at sharedrecordnotes.bond.
5. User-Submitted Content
The Site does not currently operate comment sections, forums, or other means for the public to submit content directly. Should any interactive feature be introduced in the future, any content submitted through it must be lawful, accurate to the best of the submitter's knowledge, and free of infringing material. We reserve the right to remove or decline to publish any submitted content at our discretion.
6. Informational Purpose Only and No Professional Advice
All content on the Site, including explanations of package managers, dependency resolution, versioning schemes, repositories, taps, and installation procedures, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute technical support, professional consulting, or engineering advice tailored to your specific system, environment, or circumstances.
Software environments vary significantly between machines, operating system versions, network configurations, and regional infrastructure, particularly across different countries and local internet service conditions. Before applying any concept described on the Site to your own equipment, you should exercise independent judgement, consult official documentation for the specific tools involved, and, where warranted, seek qualified technical assistance. Sharedrecordnotes does not verify that content remains accurate for every version of every tool discussed, and technical practices described may change over time as standards evolve.
7. No Warranties
The Site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sharedrecordnotes disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and completeness of content.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site is free of harmful components. Technical explanations are reviewed periodically but may not reflect the very latest changes to any tool, standard, or practice discussed.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sharedrecordnotes, its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the Site, including but not limited to damages for loss of data, loss of use, system failure, or any other commercial or personal damages, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which a claim is based, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, and even if a remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed its essential purpose.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sharedrecordnotes and its operators from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
10. Links to Third-Party Sites
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, official documentation pages, or other resources for reference purposes. These links are provided for convenience and educational context only. Sharedrecordnotes does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, or practices of any linked third-party site. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement. You access any third-party site at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms and privacy practices.
11. Suspension and Termination
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Site for any user or category of users whose conduct we reasonably believe violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to the Site, its infrastructure, or its other readers. Since the Site does not require an account, termination generally takes the form of blocking access from a specific network address or range rather than any account-level action.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado and the applicable federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Colorado, unless applicable consumer protection law requires otherwise in your place of residence.
13. Changes to the Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the Site's content, applicable law, or operating practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the Terms were most recently revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
