Ales Analytics Terms of Use

About these terms

These terms cover your use of www.alesanalytics.com, including the documentation, the research, the explainers and the site assistant. They do not cover work we carry out for clients, which is governed by the agreement made for that work. Using the site means you accept these terms; if you do not, please do not use it.

Using the site

You may read, print and share pages from the site for your own information and for discussion within your organisation. Please do not use the site in a way that damages it or interferes with other people's use of it, including automated requests at a volume that affects its availability, attempts to gain access to parts of it that are not public, or attempts to make the site assistant behave in ways it was not designed for.

The content is general information

The documentation, research, industry guides and explainers describe techniques, rules and trade-offs in general terms. They are not legal, regulatory, financial or professional advice, and they do not describe any client's systems. Rules and deadlines change, and every guide shows the date it was last reviewed; check the official source linked on each page before relying on a date or requirement.

Worked examples on the engineering and documentation pages are labelled as illustrative. Model shapes, hardware figures and numbers in them are hypothetical or taken from public specifications, and say so.

The site assistant

The "Ask a question" assistant is an AI system. It answers from the content of this site and can be wrong. Do not enter confidential or personal information about other people into it. How messages to the assistant are handled is set out in the privacy statement.

Intellectual property

The text, diagrams and design of the site belong to Ales Analytics unless a page says otherwise. You may quote short passages with a link back to the page they came from. Trade marks, product names and documentation of other organisations named on the site belong to their owners, and naming them does not imply any endorsement or relationship.

Links to other sites

Pages link to official sources, standards bodies, research papers and project documentation published by others. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or availability. Outward links open in a new tab and are marked as such.

Availability and changes

We aim to keep the site available and accurate, but we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or free of errors. We may change, move or remove pages at any time, and may update these terms; the date at the top of this page shows when they last changed.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Your privacy

What the site collects, why, and how to change your choices is set out in the privacy statement. You can change your cookie choice at any time from "Cookie settings" at the foot of every page.
