Terms of Use
This website, jackbishop.co, is the personal site of Jack Bishop, an individual based in the United Kingdom. By browsing it you accept the terms below. They are deliberately short, because this is a personal notebook rather than a commercial service.
What this site is
This is a personal blog and portfolio: writing about software engineering, leadership, tools, and projects. Everything here is my own opinion, written in a personal capacity. It does not represent the views of my employer, my clients, or any professional body I belong to.
No professional advice
The content is published for general information and interest. It is not professional, engineering, legal, financial, or career advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from someone who knows your situation. Posts reflect what was true when they were written and may go out of date. If you act on something you read here, you do so on your own judgement and at your own risk.
Content and copyright
Unless stated otherwise, the writing, images, and design on this site are © Jack Bishop and are protected by copyright. You are welcome to quote short extracts for commentary, review, or discussion, provided you attribute them to Jack Bishop and link back to the original page. Republishing whole posts, or using the content to train commercial models or to build derivative products, requires written permission — just ask.
Code samples published in posts may be used freely in your own projects without attribution, and are provided as-is with no warranty. Third-party names, logos, and trademarks mentioned here remain the property of their respective owners.
Acceptable use
Please do not:
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its host, or any connected system;
- scrape, crawl, or automate requests at a rate that degrades the site for other readers;
- use the site to distribute malware, or to send unsolicited or bulk messages to addresses published here;
- misrepresent the content as your own, or use it in a way that implies endorsement I have not given.
External links
This site links to third-party websites, products, and coverage in the press. Those links are provided for convenience and interest. I do not control those sites, am not responsible for their content or their practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Where a post mentions a product I have a connection to, that connection is disclosed in the post itself.
Availability
The site is provided on an "as available" basis. It is a personal project, so there is no uptime guarantee, no support commitment, and pages may be edited, moved, or removed at any time without notice.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Privacy
How this site handles personal data — including hosting logs, cookieless analytics, and email subscriptions — is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.
Changes
These terms may be updated from time to time. The current version always lives on this page, with the date of the last change shown above.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
