Terms and conditions
These terms explain the boundaries for accessing the CognoSys public website, using its content, and beginning a business conversation.
Scope and acceptance
These terms apply to access and use of the public website at cogno-sys.com and the informational material made available through it. By continuing to use the website, you agree to follow these terms. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of the website.
Separate terms may apply to a product, service, project, event, portal, download, or commercial relationship. Where an executed written agreement directly conflicts with these website terms, that agreement governs the subject it covers.
Informational purpose
Website content describes engineering perspectives, areas of capability, technology themes, and potential approaches for general information. It is not a binding offer, quotation, specification, service-level commitment, warranty, or guarantee that a particular capability, product, integration, geography, timetable, or delivery model is available.
Technical information can become incomplete as platforms, dependencies, security guidance, and provider services evolve. A reader should validate important assumptions against current documentation and the requirements of the intended environment before making an operational or investment decision.
No professional or regulated advice
Nothing on the public website is legal, financial, investment, tax, medical, compliance, safety, or other regulated professional advice. Technical discussions are not a substitute for architecture review, threat modelling, testing, risk assessment, or advice from appropriately qualified professionals who understand the relevant facts and jurisdiction.
You remain responsible for evaluating whether information is suitable for your purpose and for applying appropriate governance, security, resilience, human oversight, and change controls.
Intellectual property and permitted use
Website text, design, branding, graphics, original media, and other materials may be protected by intellectual-property and related laws. Subject to these terms, you may view the website and use reasonable excerpts for internal evaluation or reference, provided the source is acknowledged and the material is not misleadingly altered.
You may not reproduce substantial portions of the website, remove ownership notices, republish content as your own, create a confusingly similar site, or use CognoSys material for commercial exploitation without appropriate permission. Third-party names, marks, software, and content remain the property of their respective owners.
Responsible use of the website
You must not use the website unlawfully or in a way that interferes with its operation, security, or availability. Prohibited activity includes attempting unauthorised access, bypassing technical controls, introducing malicious code, conducting abusive automated traffic, misrepresenting identity or affiliation, or using website content to facilitate harm.
Legitimate security research should be conducted only with prior written authorisation and an agreed scope. CognoSys may restrict or block traffic reasonably believed to threaten the website, its infrastructure, service providers, or other users.
Third-party platforms, links, and references
The website may link to or discuss cloud providers, open-source projects, standards, publications, or other third-party resources. Those resources have their own terms, privacy practices, security controls, availability, and accuracy. CognoSys does not control them and is not responsible for changes made by their operators.
A reference to a technology, provider, historical project, customer category, partner, award, event, or marketplace does not by itself establish a current certification, endorsement, listing, contractual relationship, deployment status, or commercial commitment. Third-party marks are used only to identify their respective technologies or organisations.
Enquiries and submitted material
You are responsible for ensuring that information sent to CognoSys is accurate, lawful to share, and appropriate for the communication channel. Do not send passwords, access keys, regulated records, classified information, or other highly sensitive material through a public contact route.
Sending an enquiry does not create confidentiality, exclusivity, fiduciary, employment, agency, partnership, or supplier obligations. Confidential project information should be exchanged only after the parties agree suitable protections and a secure method. CognoSys may retain and use ordinary enquiry information to respond, maintain business records, protect systems, and comply with applicable requirements, as further described in the Privacy policy.
Products, services, and engagements
Product descriptions, solution patterns, estimated outcomes, diagrams, and examples are illustrative unless an authorised written agreement states otherwise. Scope, responsibilities, dependencies, acceptance criteria, fees, licensing, support, security measures, data handling, performance targets, and delivery dates must be established for each engagement.
No purchase, subscription, licence, professional-service obligation, or support entitlement arises solely from visiting the website or exchanging preliminary correspondence. Commercial obligations arise only through documents accepted by authorised representatives of the relevant parties.
Disclaimers and limitation framework
The website is provided on an “as available” basis. CognoSys aims to maintain accurate and useful public content but does not promise that every page will always be available, current, complete, secure, or free from errors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, implied warranties relating to the public website are excluded.
You use and rely on public website content at your own discretion. To the extent permitted by applicable law, CognoSys is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or business-interruption loss arising solely from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the public website. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Changes, interpretation, and contact
CognoSys may update the website and these terms as content, operations, or applicable requirements evolve. The effective date above identifies the current published version. Continued use after an update means the revised terms apply from their stated effective date.
If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions should continue to operate to the extent permitted by law. A delay in exercising a right does not necessarily waive it. Questions about these terms may be raised through Contact CognoSys. Any dispute or mandatory consumer right remains subject to the applicable law and competent forum determined by the circumstances and any governing written agreement.
