Website terms of use

This website is operated by Shortstone ("Shortstone", "we", "us"). By using it you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.

You may browse the website and use its interactive demos for your own information. You must not misuse it: for example by attempting to gain unauthorised access, interfering with how it works, sending spam through the enquiry form, or copying it in bulk by automated means.

The content on this website is general information about our services and past work. It is not professional, financial, legal or technical advice, and you should not rely on it as such.

The interactive demos are illustrations that run on sample data. They show the kind of software we build and are not the production systems themselves. Descriptions of past projects and their results reflect those projects only and are not a promise of the same result on any other project.

We design and build software that may include AI features, and we may use AI tools in our own work. Any description of AI capability on this website is general. What an AI system will do for a particular business depends on its data, processes and requirements, and is agreed in writing as part of an engagement.

Sending an enquiry does not create a contract or oblige either of us to work together. Any work we carry out for a client is governed by a separate written agreement, which takes priority over these terms.

The website, including its design, text, graphics, demos and code, belongs to Shortstone or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce or reuse it without our written permission, other than to view it in your browser or share a link to it.

Names, logos and product images of other businesses shown on the website belong to their respective owners and appear for identification only.

Where the website links to third-party websites, we are not responsible for their content or how they handle your information.

We provide the website as it is and aim to keep it accurate and available, but we do not guarantee that it will be free of errors or interruptions. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the website. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

Our privacy notice explains how we handle personal information collected through the website.

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when they were last changed. These terms are governed by the laws of the place where Shortstone is established, whose courts have jurisdiction over any dispute.

If you have a question about these terms, use the form on our contact page.
