Without prior written authorisation, no licence is granted to copy, publish, quote, circulate externally, upload, scrape, commercialise, train models on, reverse-engineer, imitate, adapt, benchmark, build from, or use the materials competitively.

Information may be disclosed where required by law, court order or legal process, to professional advisers, hosting and technical providers, or where reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, confidentiality, IP or legal interests.20. Website Security and Technical Integrity
No one may misuse the website or related systems, including by introducing malware, using scraping or automated extraction tools, denial-of-service activity, unauthorised access, security testing, reverse-engineering, data harvesting or interference with infrastructure. Access may be restricted, suspended, blocked, logged or investigated where misuse, abuse, security risk, harassment, impersonation or unlawful activity is suspected.21. No Obligation to Continue
Mr Kaltzidis may pause, withdraw, amend, restructure, rename, transfer, incorporate, discontinue or abandon the project or its materials at any time without notice. No one has any right or expectation of continued access, updates, discussions, services, launch, incorporation, investment participation, employment, partnership or engagement.22. Future Incorporation and Transfer
The project, materials, goodwill, research, correspondence, records, domains, branding, IP, know-how and assets may in future be assigned, transferred, licensed or contributed to an incorporated entity, successor vehicle, affiliate or project company.23. External Communications and Attribution
Without prior written consent, no recipient may state, imply or allow others to infer that they or their organisation, employer, client, team or associates have endorsed, approved, participated in, collaborated with, advised, funded, validated, tested, adopted or partnered with the project. Likewise, no screenshots, extracts, quotes, summaries, meeting notes, feedback, emails, materials or references to participation may be published, circulated, used in marketing, legal proceedings or investment materials, shared with third parties or attributed externally, except where required by law or for confidential legal/professional advice.24. Recipient Authority
Anyone responding to or discussing the materials must ensure they have authority to do so and that doing so does not breach any duty, contract, employment or confidentiality obligation, regulatory or professional rule, internal policy or law. No representation is made that any recipient can bind or speak for their employer, client or organisation.25. Conflicts, Sensitivities and Withdrawal
Recipients should not engage if it would create a conflict of interest, breach internal policy, compromise confidentiality, disclose restricted information, or create legal, regulatory, professional, employment or commercial risk. A recipient may withdraw from voluntary discussions at any time, but withdrawal does not affect rights, obligations or protections already arising (confidentiality, restricted use, IP, privacy, legal preservation, non-attribution, misuse).26. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mr Kaltzidis and the project exclude liability for any loss, damage, cost, claim or consequence arising from access to, use of, reliance on, inability to use, misunderstanding of or unauthorised use of the website, materials or communications. This includes loss of profits, revenue, opportunity, goodwill, data, contracts, reputation, savings, business interruption, procurement, compliance, operational, legal, investment or insurance consequences, and indirect or consequential loss. Nothing excludes liability where exclusion would be unlawful, including for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.27. Remedies and Protection of Rights
Unauthorised copying, publication, attribution, external circulation, commercial or competitive use, scraping, reverse-engineering, misrepresentation, misuse or breach of confidentiality may cause loss that is difficult to quantify. Mr Kaltzidis reserves all legal rights and remedies, including injunctive relief, takedown, correction, deletion, damages, account of profits, delivery up and costs. Delay or failure to enforce a right is not a waiver.28. Mandatory Rights and Severability
Nothing excludes or overrides any mandatory legal right, statutory protection, whistleblowing protection, data-protection right, consumer or employment right, regulatory obligation, court order, lawful disclosure obligation, or right to independent legal advice. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest continues to apply so far as legally permissible.29. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This website, the materials, related communications and this notice are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rule requiring otherwise.30. Contact
