Terms of Use

2. Acceptable use

• Use the website, contact form, and chatbot only for lawful purposes.
• Do not attempt to bypass security controls, rate limits, or access restrictions.
• Do not introduce malicious code, automate abusive traffic, scrape the site excessively, or interfere with other visitors.
• Do not use the chatbot to generate unlawful, harmful, deceptive, infringing, or privacy-invasive material.
• Do not submit information that you do not have the right or permission to share.

3. AI-generated responses

Byte is an AI assistant powered by Mistral AI. Its responses are automatically generated and may be incomplete, outdated, biased, or incorrect. Responses do not represent a binding statement, offer, guarantee, or commitment by Rithy Bondeth.

Do not rely on chatbot output as legal, medical, financial, security, or other professional advice. Verify important information independently and contact Rithy Bondeth directly for authoritative information about availability, pricing, project scope, or professional arrangements.

4. Inquiries and professional engagements

Submitting a contact form or exchanging messages does not create a client, employment, partnership, confidentiality, or other professional relationship. Any engagement requires a separate written agreement that defines scope, fees, responsibilities, ownership, confidentiality, and other applicable terms.

5. Portfolio content and intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the website's original writing, visual design, branding, illustrations, and source presentation are owned by Rithy Bondeth or used with permission. You may view and share links to public pages for personal, informational, recruitment, or evaluation purposes.

You may not republish substantial portions, remove attribution, impersonate the owner, use the branding as your own, or commercially exploit website content without written permission. Product names, logos, and materials belonging to employers, clients, open-source projects, or other third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

6. Projects and confidential information

Project descriptions are limited to information suitable for public presentation. They may summarize collaborative work and do not claim sole authorship of every component. The absence of internal details is intentional and should not be treated as authorization to infer, request, or obtain confidential client, government, user, security, or infrastructure information.

7. Third-party services and links

The website links to or uses third-party services, including Mistral AI, Vercel, Resend, GitHub, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Their availability, content, and data practices are controlled by those providers. A link does not imply endorsement of every statement, product, or policy on the destination website.

8. Availability and changes

The website and its features are provided on an as-available basis. Features may be changed, rate-limited, suspended, or removed without notice for maintenance, security, cost, legal, or operational reasons. Public portfolio information may change as professional work evolves.

9. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

Reasonable care is taken to keep public information useful and accurate, but no warranty is made that the website will always be complete, current, secure, uninterrupted, or error-free. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Rithy Bondeth is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this website or its AI-generated content.

Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the Kingdom of Cambodia, without limiting any mandatory rights you may have under the law of your place of residence. Disputes should first be raised through the contact address below in an effort to resolve them informally.

11. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the website and its services change. The effective date identifies the current published version. Continued use after an update means the revised terms apply from their effective date.
