Except as expressly permitted in clause 4.1, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, translate, create derivative works from, publicly display or commercially exploit any Content without our prior written consent.

Third-party names, logos and trade marks that may appear on the Site remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only. Their appearance does not imply any endorsement or affiliation.

The Site uses open source typefaces licensed under the SIL Open Font License, version 1.1. Those typefaces remain the property of their respective authors.

6. Our services

6.1 Information only

The descriptions of Services on the Site are provided for general information. They are an invitation to enter into discussions and do not constitute a binding offer, quotation, warranty or guarantee of any particular outcome, price, timeline or result.

6.2 Services are governed by a separate Agreement

HALDIR provides Services only under a separate written Agreement with the Client. That Agreement sets out the scope, deliverables, acceptance criteria, timeline, fees, warranty period, support terms and any other specific arrangements.

6.3 Order of precedence

Where there is a conflict between these Terms and a signed Agreement, the terms of the Agreement prevail in respect of the Services provided under it. These Terms continue to govern your use of the Site.

6.4 Estimates

Any estimate of effort, duration or cost given before an Agreement is signed is an informed professional opinion based on the information available at the time and on stated assumptions. It is not a fixed price unless the Agreement expressly says so.

7. Client obligations

Software development is a collaborative undertaking. Where HALDIR provides Services, the Client agrees to:

• provide accurate, complete and timely information, requirements, materials and feedback reasonably required for the Services;
• nominate a representative with sufficient authority to make decisions and give approvals;
• provide, where required, timely access to systems, environments, third-party accounts, test data and personnel;
• obtain and maintain all licences, consents and permissions necessary for HALDIR to perform the Services, including in respect of any third-party software or data supplied by the Client;
• ensure that any material supplied to HALDIR does not infringe the rights of any third party;
• review and respond to requests for approval or acceptance within the periods set out in the Agreement.

HALDIR is not liable for delay or additional cost caused by a Client's failure to meet these obligations, and any agreed timeline shall be extended accordingly.

8. Fees, invoicing and payment

Fees, payment schedules, currency and invoicing arrangements are set out in the applicable Agreement. Unless the Agreement states otherwise:

• invoices are payable within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date;
• all amounts are exclusive of value added tax and any other applicable taxes, duties or levies, which the Client shall pay in addition where due;
• bank transfer charges are borne by the paying party;
• HALDIR may charge statutory interest on amounts overdue, and may suspend the Services after giving written notice of non-payment and a reasonable opportunity to remedy it;
• third-party costs incurred on the Client's instruction — such as hosting, licences, certificates or store fees — are recharged at cost unless agreed otherwise.

9. Intellectual property in Deliverables

Unless the Agreement provides otherwise, and subject to payment in full of all sums due:

• intellectual property rights in bespoke Deliverables created specifically for the Client transfer to the Client upon full payment;
• HALDIR retains ownership of its pre-existing materials, tools, libraries, frameworks, know-how and generic components used in producing the Deliverables ("Background IP"), and grants the Client a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use that Background IP to the extent it is embedded in the Deliverables;
• the Client retains ownership of all materials, data and content it supplies to HALDIR, and grants HALDIR a licence to use them for the purpose of performing the Services;
• HALDIR remains free to use the general skills, knowledge and experience acquired in the course of performing the Services.

9.1 Third-party and open source components

Deliverables may incorporate third-party or open source components that remain subject to their own licence terms. HALDIR will identify material components and their licences on request, and will not knowingly incorporate a component whose licence is incompatible with the Client's stated intended use.

9.2 Reference to the engagement

HALDIR may state that it has worked with the Client and describe the general nature of the work, unless the Agreement provides otherwise. No confidential information will be disclosed in doing so.

10. Confidentiality

Each party shall keep confidential all non-public information disclosed to it by the other party in connection with the Services, and shall not use it for any purpose other than performing or receiving the Services.

This obligation does not apply to information that:

• is or becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this clause;
• was lawfully in the receiving party's possession before disclosure;
• is independently developed without reference to the disclosed information; or
• is required to be disclosed by law, a court or a competent regulator, in which case the disclosing party shall be notified where lawful to do so.

These obligations survive termination of the Agreement for a period of five (5) years, or indefinitely in respect of trade secrets and personal data.

11. Third-party components and services

Modern software depends on infrastructure and services operated by third parties — hosting providers, payment processors, identity providers, app stores, package registries and similar. HALDIR does not control those providers and is not responsible for their availability, performance, pricing, policy changes or discontinuation.

Where a Deliverable depends on such a provider, we will say so, and where reasonably practicable we will design the Deliverable so that the provider can be replaced.

12. Warranties and disclaimers

12.1 The Site

The Site and its Content are provided "as is" and "as available". While we take reasonable care to keep the information on the Site accurate and current, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to its accuracy, completeness or fitness for any particular purpose. Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial or professional advice.

12.2 The Services

HALDIR warrants that the Services will be performed with reasonable skill and care, in a professional manner, and in accordance with the specifications set out in the applicable Agreement.

HALDIR does not warrant that software will be free from all defects. No non-trivial software is. Warranty periods, defect remediation procedures and acceptance testing are dealt with in the Agreement.

12.3 Exclusion

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all other conditions, warranties and terms — whether express, implied by statute or common law, or otherwise — are excluded.

13. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

• HALDIR shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, anticipated savings, goodwill, data or data use, however arising, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise;
• HALDIR's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Services shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by the Client to HALDIR under the relevant Agreement in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim;
• HALDIR's total aggregate liability in connection with your use of the Site, where no Agreement exists, shall not exceed one hundred euro (EUR 100).

The Client is responsible for maintaining adequate backups of its own data and for testing Deliverables in its own environment before relying on them in production, unless the Agreement expressly allocates that responsibility to HALDIR.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless HALDIR LTD, its directors, employees and contractors against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

• your breach of these Terms;
• your unlawful or unauthorised use of the Site;
• any material, data or instruction supplied by you that infringes the rights of a third party or breaches applicable law.

15. Data protection

HALDIR LTD is established in the European Union and processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR") and applicable Cypriot data protection legislation.

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we process in connection with this Site and our correspondence, on what legal basis, and what rights you have.

Where HALDIR processes personal data on behalf of a Client in the course of providing Services, it does so as a processor under a written data processing agreement forming part of, or annexed to, the Agreement.

16. Links to other websites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. Those links are provided for convenience and information only. We have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss arising from your use of them. A link does not imply endorsement.

You may link to our home page provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal, does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, and does not suggest any form of association or approval that does not exist. We may withdraw permission to link at any time.

17. Availability of the Site

We do not guarantee that the Site will always be available or uninterrupted. Access may be suspended, withdrawn or restricted at any time, including for maintenance, without notice and without liability.

We may update or change the Content of the Site at any time. Content may be out of date at any given moment and we are under no obligation to update it.

18. Changes to these terms

We may amend these Terms from time to time — for example to reflect changes in law, in our Services or in how the Site works. The current version is always published on this page, with the effective date shown at the top.

Changes take effect when published. Your continued use of the Site after publication constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms. Changes do not affect rights or obligations that arose before the change, and do not alter a signed Agreement.

19. Force majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, war, civil unrest, terrorism, epidemic, industrial action, failure of public telecommunications or power networks, large-scale failure of cloud infrastructure providers, or action by a government or competent authority.

The affected party shall notify the other without undue delay and use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect. If the situation continues for more than sixty (60) days, either party may terminate the affected Agreement on written notice, without prejudice to amounts already due.

20. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms, their subject matter and their formation — and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them — are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus.

The courts of the Republic of Cyprus shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Site.

Nothing in this clause deprives a consumer resident in the European Union of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of their country of residence.

21. General provisions

21.1 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

21.2 Waiver

A failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right, and no single exercise prevents further exercise of it.

21.3 No partnership or agency

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between the parties.

21.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, on written notice.

21.5 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and HALDIR in relation to your use of the Site and supersede all previous understandings in that respect.

21.6 Language

These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only; in the event of inconsistency, the English version prevails.
