davidtofan.com is a personal, non-commercial website published by David Tofan. Everything on it is shared in a private capacity, for information and educational purposes only.

TL;DR

  • Opinions here are my own, not my employer's.
  • Nothing here is professional advice — it is general information.
  • Verify everything against official sources before you act on it.
  • You use this content at your own risk; liability is limited to what the law requires.

1. Personal opinions

All views, opinions, and statements published on this website are my own and are made in a purely personal capacity. They do not represent the views, positions, or official communication of my employer, my clients, or any organisation I am or have been affiliated with, and they are not endorsed or reviewed by them.

Product names, company names, logos, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used here for identification, reference, and commentary only. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those owners.

2. No professional advice

The content on this website — including articles, guides, code samples, configuration examples, diagrams, presentations, and webinars or talks referenced here — is general information and educational commentary. It is not professional, legal, financial, tax, or security advice, and it is not tailored to your circumstances.

Reading this website, contacting me, or using anything published here does not create any advisory, consulting, contractual, or client relationship. For decisions that matter to you or your organisation, please consult a suitably qualified professional.

3. Verify before you act

Content reflects my understanding at the time of writing or publishing. Technology, products, pricing, default settings, and regulation change quickly, so content may become outdated, incomplete, or simply wrong — including after it was correct when published.

Before applying anything you find here, you are responsible for:

  • verifying it against the current official documentation of the vendor or authority concerned;
  • testing it in a non-production environment; and
  • assessing whether it fits your own technical, security, and legal requirements.

Any use you make of this content — following a guide, copying a configuration, running a code sample — is your own decision, made on your own responsibility and at your own risk.

4. No warranty

This website and all of its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty or guarantee of any kind, whether express or implied. In particular, I give no guarantee as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose of the content, nor as to the uninterrupted or error-free availability of the website itself.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I accept no liability for any damage or loss — whether direct or indirect, material or immaterial, including loss of profit, loss or corruption of data, security incidents, service outages, or business interruption — arising from the use of, reliance on, or inability to use content published on or reachable from this website.

This limitation does not apply to, and nothing on this page excludes or limits:

  • liability for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
  • liability for injury to life, body, or health;
  • liability under mandatory statutory provisions, including applicable product liability law; and
  • any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including your mandatory rights as a consumer.

This website links to third-party websites, documentation, repositories, videos, and services that I neither operate nor control. Those links are offered for convenience and reference. The respective operators are solely responsible for their content, and no unlawful content was apparent to me at the time of linking.

I do not adopt third-party content as my own, and I am under no general obligation to monitor it — see Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act). If you become aware of unlawful content behind a link on this website, please let me know and I will remove the link as fast as possible.

Some outbound links on this website — principally on the Referrals page — are referral links. If you sign up for a service through one of them, I may receive a credit, discount, or similar benefit, at no additional cost to you.

I only link to services I use myself, and a referral benefit never changes what I recommend or write. It does not make me a party to any contract you enter into with that provider: their terms, pricing, and support are theirs alone, and the limitations in section 5 apply to referral links exactly as they do to any other content here.

Unless stated otherwise, original content on this website is protected by copyright and remains the property of the author. Short quotations with attribution and a link back to the canonical URL are welcome. Terms for AI crawlers, retrieval, and training are set out separately on the AI Licensing Terms page.

9. Changes to this disclaimer

I may update this disclaimer at any time to reflect changes to the website or to the law. The version published on this page at the time you access the website is the version that applies.

10. Applicable law

This disclaimer and any matter arising from it are governed by the law of the author's country of residence in the European Union (EU). This choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence, in particular where you act as a consumer — see Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 (Rome I).

Should any provision of this disclaimer be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
