Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of www.balsatech.dev and the public-facing content and forms we provide on it. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

These terms cover the website only. Any engagement to deliver design, engineering, or AI work is governed by a separate written agreement (statement of work, master services agreement, or contract) that takes precedence over these terms for that engagement.

You may browse the site, read our content, and contact us through the forms provided. You agree not to: (a) interfere with or disrupt the site or its underlying infrastructure; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data; (c) scrape, mirror, or build derivative datasets from the site without permission; or (d) use the site to send spam, malware, or unlawful content.

All content on the site — including copy, code, design, logos, and images — is owned by Balsa Tech or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. The Balsa Tech name and logo are trademarks of Balsa Tech.

Project case studies on the site are published with the permission of our clients. The intellectual property in client deliverables is governed by the relevant engagement contract.

You may share short quotes or screenshots of public content on the site for non-commercial commentary or reporting, with attribution. You may not copy, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of the site without prior written consent.

When you submit information through our contact form or by email, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that information to respond to you and, where appropriate, to scope and deliver the engagement you requested. You confirm that you have the right to share the information you send us.

Content on the site is published for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, security, or other professional advice and should not be relied on as such. Engage Balsa Tech under contract for advice tailored to your situation.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all such warranties.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Balsa Tech, its directors, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the site. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to your use of the site is limited to one hundred Brazilian reais (R$ 100,00).

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

You agree to indemnify and hold Balsa Tech harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the site or your violation of these terms or any applicable law.

The site links to third-party sites we do not control (including project demos, our LinkedIn, GitHub, and other social profiles). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those third parties.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Any dispute arising out of or related to these terms or the site shall be brought in the courts of São Paulo, SP, Brazil, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be flagged on the site, and the “last updated” date at the top will reflect the new version. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
