6. Disclaimer
This project is provided "as is", without any warranty. The author is not responsible for any damage, loss, or issues resulting from the use of this project. Use of the project is at your own risk.
The schematics on this website are drawn in a practical way and may not strictly follow formal standards (IEC / ANSI). The goal is to keep them clear and useful for real-world implementation rather than perfectly standardized. They are not evaluated for compliance with EU directives (CE, EMC, safety, etc.) and should not be considered certified or production-ready solutions.
The content is intended for users with basic knowledge of electronics, engineering principles, and soldering. It assumes familiarity with typical DIY workflows, tools, and safety practices related to working with electronic components and power supplies.
7. Updates and Changes
This website and its content are continuously developed and updated. The author reserves the right to modify, extend, or remove any project, article, or technical material at any time without prior notice. Some articles may be incomplete, updated over time, or replaced by newer versions as the projects evolve.
This also includes changes to website structure, layout, design, and user interface components. Some sections, blocks, or features may be redesigned, relocated, or removed as the site evolves. Articles and projects may be incomplete, updated over time, or replaced by newer versions as development continues.
8. Project Availability and Limitations
While the project aims to be open and educational, not all materials may be publicly available for every design.
Depending on the specific project, the following may be limited or not published:
- firmware source code
- Gerber files
- full production documentation
This is done to maintain control over certain aspects of the designs.
9. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws applicable to the author’s place of residence, unless otherwise required by applicable international law.
