Effective 11 November 2026 · Tymofii Vasin

Agreement

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the personal website operated by Tymofii Vasin (“Site”). By using the Site you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

Purpose of the Site

The Site is a personal portfolio and information page. It presents professional background, projects, and a way to contact me. It is not an e-commerce store, financial product, medical service, or employment platform. Nothing on the Site is a binding offer of employment, partnership, or investment unless confirmed separately in writing.

Eligibility

You should be at least 16 years old (or older if required where you live) to use interactive features such as the contact form. By submitting the form you confirm the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, text, design, branding, layout, and original code on the Site belong to me or respective owners and are protected by applicable law. You may view and share links to public pages for personal, non-commercial reference. You may not copy, scrape, mirror, or reuse substantial parts of the Site for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

Third-party names, logos, libraries, engines (including Stockfish), and trademarks remain property of their owners. Mentions do not imply endorsement.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Site or its APIs. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation:

  • Sending spam, malware, phishing content, or unlawful material through the contact form.
  • Attempting to bypass security controls (rate limits, CSRF, Turnstile, origin checks) or overload the service.
  • Uploading files that are harmful, deceptive, or outside allowed types/sizes.
  • Scraping or automated harvesting of content in a way that harms availability or violates these Terms.
  • Impersonating another person or misrepresenting your affiliation when contacting me.
  • Using the Site in any way that violates applicable law.

Contact form

The contact form is provided so you can reach me about professional opportunities, meetings, or related questions. Submissions are filtered for abuse and may be delayed, rate-limited, or rejected. I am not obliged to reply to every message. Do not use the form for emergencies or time-critical legal notices that require formal service of process.

Interactive demos

Features such as the chess board and engine analysis are provided “as is” for demonstration. Engine strength, timing, and browser performance vary. Do not rely on demos for competitive play, wagering, or critical decisions.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. I DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I am not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site or inability to use it. My aggregate liability for claims relating to the Site is limited to EUR 50, except where liability cannot be limited under applicable law (including mandatory consumer protections and liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence where such limits are void).

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold me harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of others’ rights, to the extent permitted by law.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence require otherwise. Courts in Kraków, Poland shall have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights you may have to bring proceedings in your place of residence.

Changes to the Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date will change when updates are published. Continued use of the Site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
