1. About these terms

These Terms of Use (Terms) apply when you access or use ostridelabs.com and Ostride Labs websites that link to these Terms (Site).

The Site is operated by Ostride Inc., trading as Ostride Labs (Ostride Labs, we, us or our).

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

If you engage Ostride Labs to provide services, the signed proposal, statement of work, master services agreement or other service contract will govern those services. If a service contract conflicts with these Terms, the service contract prevails for the relevant services.

2. Information, not professional advice

The Site provides general information about software engineering, technical advisory, cloud, security, compliance technology, artificial intelligence and related topics.

Site content is not legal, regulatory, financial, accounting, investment, cybersecurity certification or other professional advice. References to AUSTRAC, ASIC, OAIC, APRA or another regulator do not mean that a solution is approved, certified or endorsed by that regulator.

Technology and regulatory requirements change. You should obtain advice appropriate to your organisation and verify requirements before acting on Site content.

3. No offer or guarantee of services

Site content, case studies, estimates and descriptions are general information and do not constitute a binding offer. Availability, scope, timing, price, delivery method and outcomes are agreed only in a signed service contract.

Case studies describe particular engagements and circumstances. They do not guarantee that another project will achieve the same result. Any stated result must be read with its disclosed context and evidence.

4. Permitted use

You may access and use the Site for lawful business and informational purposes.

You must not:

  • use the Site unlawfully, fraudulently or in a way that infringes another person’s rights;
  • attempt to bypass security, probe vulnerabilities without written authorisation, introduce malware or disrupt the Site;
  • scrape, harvest or extract data at a volume or frequency that materially interferes with the Site, except where law expressly permits it;
  • impersonate another person or submit false or misleading information;
  • use Site content to train or operate a commercial dataset or model in a way that infringes our rights or applicable law;
  • remove copyright, trade mark or attribution notices; or
  • help another person do any of these things.

Reasonable indexing by legitimate search engines and sharing a normal link to a public page are permitted.

5. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, Ostride Labs or its licensors own the Site and its content, including text, graphics, brand elements, layouts, code, downloadable materials and compilations.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable right to access and use the Site for its intended purpose. You may quote a short extract with accurate attribution and a link to the source, where permitted by law. No other licence is granted.

Ostride Labs and associated logos are trade marks or branding assets of their respective owner. You may not use them in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership or authorship without written permission.

Third-party names and marks belong to their owners. Their appearance does not imply endorsement.

6. Information you submit

You are responsible for information you submit through forms, meeting tools, email or other Site features. You must have the right to provide it and it must not be unlawful, harmful or misleading.

Do not submit passwords, API keys, production credentials, highly sensitive personal information, source code under third-party restrictions or confidential material through a general website form.

An unsolicited idea, proposal or document is not confidential merely because it is submitted through the Site. Confidential information should be shared only through an approved channel and, where appropriate, under a signed confidentiality agreement.

We handle personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Website availability and security

We aim to keep the Site available and accurate, but we do not promise uninterrupted, error-free or secure access. We may change, suspend or remove Site content or functionality.

You are responsible for using appropriate device, browser and network security. Please report a suspected Site security issue to contactus@ostridelabs.com. Do not publicly disclose a vulnerability before we have had a reasonable opportunity to investigate.

9. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. We do not give a guarantee that content is complete, current, error-free, fit for a particular purpose or suitable for your circumstances.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies a consumer guarantee, right, remedy or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law.

10. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ostride Labs is not liable for indirect, consequential or special loss arising only from use of, or inability to use, the Site, including loss of opportunity, revenue, data or reputation.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our liability is limited only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These limitations do not apply to fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or another liability that law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

11. Your responsibility for a breach

You are responsible for loss reasonably incurred by us as a direct result of your unlawful use of the Site or material breach of these Terms. This does not require you to compensate us for loss caused by our own negligence, breach or unlawful conduct.

12. Privacy and cookies

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. Our Cookies Policy explains our use of cookies and similar technologies.

You can review or change optional technology choices using Cookie settings in the footer. Cookie consent is separate from any marketing choice.

13. Changes to the Site or these Terms

We may update the Site and these Terms. The current version will show its effective and last-updated dates.

Material changes apply from the stated effective date. Continued use of the Site after that date means the updated Terms apply to later use. Changes to a signed service contract require the process stated in that contract.

14. Suspension

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the Site, users, Ostride Labs or another party from unlawful conduct, abuse or a security threat.

15. General

If part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue to apply. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. These Terms do not create an employment, agency, partnership or joint venture relationship.
