Terms of Service

Acceptance and scope

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of giovanniabreu.com (the “Site”), operated in a personal capacity by Luis Giovanni Abreu-Morrobel (“GiovanniAbreu,” “I,” “me,” or “my”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

The Site is intended for visitors who can legally agree to these Terms. If you use it on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

Informational purpose

The Site presents personal, professional, and project information for general informational purposes. Content may be incomplete, illustrative, time-sensitive, or changed without notice. Nothing on the Site is a guarantee of availability, performance, outcome, future work, employment, partnership, or investment.

No professional relationship or advice

Using the Site, sending an email, or scheduling a conversation does not create a consulting, advisory, employment, agency, fiduciary, attorney-client, or other professional relationship. No content is legal, tax, accounting, investment, financial, engineering, security, or other regulated professional advice. Any engagement requires a separate written agreement signed by the relevant parties, and that agreement controls if it conflicts with these Terms.

Bookings and communications

A booking request is not accepted until confirmed and may be declined, rescheduled, or canceled. Do not include confidential, proprietary, privileged, export-controlled, regulated, or sensitive personal information in an initial email or booking request. Unsolicited information is not subject to a duty of confidentiality unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

Permitted use

You may access, view, and link to the Site for lawful personal or professional reference. You may not:

• interfere with, disrupt, probe, scrape at unreasonable volume, or attempt unauthorized access to the Site or related systems;
• use the Site to violate law, infringe rights, distribute malicious code, impersonate another person, or misrepresent affiliation;
• remove notices, copy substantial Site content for redistribution, or use names, marks, or presentation in a way that implies endorsement; or
• use automated systems in a manner that burdens the Site or evades technical controls.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise identified, the Site’s original text, visual presentation, and code are owned by or licensed to GiovanniAbreu and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Third-party names, logos, trademarks, photographs, and linked materials remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification or with permission; their appearance does not imply sponsorship or endorsement.

External services

The Site links to independent services including Google Calendar, LinkedIn, Substack, GitHub, Karaya Group, Openly Useful, and GloatRoom. I do not control and am not responsible for their content, security, availability, accessibility, privacy practices, or terms. You use third-party services at your own risk and under their agreements.

Privacy

The Privacy Policy explains how information associated with the Site and direct communications is handled and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Availability and changes

The Site and any content may be corrected, updated, suspended, restricted, or withdrawn at any time without notice. I do not promise that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or compatible with every device, or that links will remain available.

Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of accuracy, title, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, security, or availability. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so those exclusions apply only to the extent permitted.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GiovanniAbreu and any contributors, licensors, or service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunity; or damages arising from use of or inability to use the Site, reliance on content, or third-party services. Where liability cannot be excluded, aggregate liability arising from the Site will not exceed US $100. These limits do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GiovanniAbreu from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the Site, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person’s rights.

Governing law

Except where mandatory law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts located in the District of Columbia will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from the Site. If you are a consumer, mandatory rights and venues available under the law where you live are not waived.

Severability, waiver, and assignment

If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without prior written consent; I may assign them in connection with a transfer of the Site or related activities.

Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be revised by posting an updated version with a new effective date. Changes apply prospectively when posted. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.
