Terms of Service

Last updated: August 7, 2026

These terms govern your use of this website (brian.abelson.live) and any personal software, tools, or applications operated by Brian Abelson (“I”, “me”, “my”) under this domain (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them.

About the Services

The Services are personal, non-commercial projects maintained by one person in their spare time. They are provided as a convenience and may change, break, or disappear without notice.

Acceptable use

When using the Services, you agree not to:

  • use them for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, or data;
  • interfere with, disrupt, or place unreasonable load on the Services;
  • scrape, copy, or redistribute content in a way that violates copyright or these terms;
  • impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.

Accounts and third-party sign-in

Some Services let you sign in with a third-party account, such as Google. You are responsible for maintaining the security of that account and for all activity that occurs through it. Your use of any third-party service remains subject to that provider’s own terms and policies. I may suspend or terminate access to the Services at any time, for any reason.

Your content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Services. By submitting it, you grant me a limited license to store, process, and display that content solely as needed to operate the Services for you. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to any content you submit.

Intellectual property

Except for content you submit and content licensed from others, the material on this site — including writing, music, images, and code — is my property and is protected by copyright. Third-party names and marks belong to their respective owners.

Privacy

Use of the Services is also governed by the Privacy Policy.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Services are 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 Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any information they provide is accurate or complete.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of your use of or inability to use the Services.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold me harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses arising out of your use of the Services or your violation of these terms.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date. Continuing to use the Services after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
