Who we are

DevKnows is an independent blog operated by an individual located in Ontario, Canada. The Site publishes evergreen content such as tech tutorials, recipes, calculators, and similar informational material. These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of DevKnows.

Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using the Site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. You also represent that you are of legal age to form a binding agreement, or that you have the consent of a parent or guardian to use the Site.

Use of the Site

You may access and use the Site for your own personal, non-commercial, and lawful purposes. In exchange, you agree that you will not:

• use the Site in any way that breaks applicable laws or regulations;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any connected systems or networks;
• interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable load on the Site, for example through scraping, automated data collection, or denial-of-service activity;
• introduce viruses, malware, or any other malicious or technologically harmful material;
• reproduce, duplicate, copy, resell, or otherwise exploit the Site or its content for commercial purposes without our express written permission.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all content on the Site — including text, articles, tutorials, graphics, logos, designs, and code — is the property of DevKnows or its content creators and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

You are welcome to read, link to, and share our content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not republish, sell, or redistribute our content, or present it as your own, without our prior written consent. Where you quote or reference our material, please provide clear attribution and a link back to the original page.

Comments and submissions

The Site does not currently require accounts or host user-generated content. If in the future we offer features that let you submit comments, feedback, or other material, you agree that any such submissions will be lawful, non-infringing, and respectful, and that you grant us a non-exclusive right to use them in connection with operating the Site. We may remove any submission at our discretion.

Links to other websites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources provided for your convenience and reference. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, products, services, or privacy practices of those external sites. Accessing any linked website is done at your own risk and subject to that site’s own terms and policies.

Disclaimer — no professional advice

The content on the Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy and keep our content up to date, we make no warranties or representations, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of any information on the Site.

Nothing on the Site constitutes professional advice — whether technical, financial, legal, medical, nutritional, or otherwise. Any tutorials, recipes, calculators, or other tools are provided “as is,” and you should always exercise your own judgment and, where appropriate, consult a qualified professional before acting on any information found here.

Availability and changes to the Site

We aim to keep the Site available and running smoothly, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site — including its content and features — at any time and without notice. We are not liable for any unavailability of the Site for any period.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DevKnows and its operator will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content. This includes, without limitation, any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Because the Site is provided free of charge, you use it entirely at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DevKnows and its operator from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with your misuse of the Site or your breach of these Terms.

Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we approach your privacy. In short, DevKnows does not collect, track, or sell any personal information about its visitors.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute arising in connection with the Site or these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Site or to legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Terms, so we encourage you to review this page periodically.
