Legal
Terms and Conditions
The terms that apply when you use this website.
Introduction
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of sanskarIN.github.io (the “website”), the personal website of Sanskar (“I”, “me”, “my”). The website presents my work as a software developer, links to my profiles on other services, and explains how to contact me. How information is handled is described in the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy.
Acceptance of these Terms
By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.
Using the website
The website is free to access and does not require an account. You may browse it, read its content, and link to it. Its content is provided for general information about me and my work. Writing a post for the blog requires an account on this website or a GitHub account, as described in Accounts and Blog posts.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the website’s content — including its text, design, graphics, logo, and code — is owned by me and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, or redistribute it without my permission, except where the law allows. Blog posts written by visitors belong to their authors, as described in Blog posts.
Third-party material used by the website, such as fonts, icons, and the names and logos of other services, belongs to its respective owners and is used under their licenses or terms. The Credits page lists these materials and their licenses.
Software projects I publish on GitHub are governed by the licenses in their own repositories, not by these Terms.
User conduct
When using the website, you agree not to:
- use it in a way that breaks any applicable law or regulation;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its hosting infrastructure, or related accounts;
- interfere with or disrupt the website, for example by sending malicious code or excessive automated traffic;
- misrepresent your identity or suggest an affiliation with me that does not exist;
- create an account in someone else’s name, or create accounts to send spam or to get around these Terms;
- use the website’s content in a way that infringes the rights of others;
- send spam, malicious content, or unlawful material through the contact form; or
- submit blog posts that break the rules in Blog posts.
Accounts
You can create a free account with your email address to write for the blog. If you do:
- Your email address: use an address that you control, and keep access to it to yourself. Anyone who can read your email can sign in to your account.
- Your profile: your username, display name, bio, and website are public. They must follow the rules for posts in Blog posts, and must not impersonate anyone or mislead people about who you are. A username can’t be changed once it’s chosen, and some names are reserved.
- Limits: each account can send up to 5 new posts a day, and upload up to 200 images of up to 10 MB each.
- Ending your account: you can delete your account at any time on your account page. I may suspend or delete an account, or change or remove a profile, that breaks these Terms.
- Availability: accounts are provided by Supabase, a third-party service, so they may sometimes be unavailable. You can still write a post with GitHub.
Blog posts
Anyone can write a post for the blog, with an account on this website or with the blog post form (opens in a new tab) on GitHub. These terms apply to every post you submit:
- Your post, your rights: you confirm that you wrote the post and that you have the right to publish its text and images. You keep ownership of your post.
- Permission to publish: by submitting a post, you give me a free, non-exclusive, worldwide permission to publish, display, and store it — including its images — on this website, in the blog’s feed, and in the website’s public repository on GitHub, and to make the changes needed to publish it, such as converting its formatting and resizing or re-encoding its images.
- Review: posts from visitors are published only after I review them, and edits to a published post are reviewed again. I may decline, remove, or stop showing any post at any time, without giving a reason.
- What’s not allowed: posts must not contain unlawful content; material that infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark, or other rights; spam or advertising; malicious code or links; hateful, harassing, or sexually explicit content; or another person’s personal information without their permission.
- Views: posts by visitors express their authors’ own views, not mine, and I am not responsible for them.
- Removing your post: if you wrote it with an account, remove it on your account page; otherwise, to have your post taken down, comment on its GitHub issue or email sanskarin@outlook.in. It is then removed from the website, although earlier versions remain in the repository’s public history on GitHub.
- GitHub’s terms: posts are stored on GitHub, including posts written with an account, which are sent there for review, so GitHub’s own terms of service and policies also apply.
External links
The website links to other websites and services, including GitHub, LinkedIn, Dev.to, Discord, X, Instagram, Bluesky, YouTube (Kahani Wali Shaam), Buy Me a Coffee, Razorpay, Gumroad, and PayPal. These links are provided for convenience. I do not control those services and am not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.
Third-party services
- Hosting: the website is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc.
- Blog: blog posts are written in GitHub Issues or with an account on this website, stored in the website’s repository on GitHub, and published by GitHub Actions.
- Projects: the Projects page shows public information about my GitHub repositories, which GitHub Actions copies from GitHub’s API once a day, so it may be up to a day out of date.
- Accounts: accounts, author profiles, and uploaded images are stored by Supabase and handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
- Email: messages you send to the addresses on this website are handled by the email providers that host those addresses (Microsoft Outlook and Google Gmail).
- Contact form: messages sent with the contact form are delivered by Web3Forms and handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
- Support and purchases: any support or payment given through Buy Me a Coffee, Razorpay, or PayPal, and any purchase made through Gumroad, takes place on those platforms and is governed by their terms, including their payment, refund, and privacy terms.
Availability
I aim to keep the website available and accurate, but I do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of errors. I may change, suspend, or remove any part of the website at any time without notice.
Disclaimer
The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, for general information only. To the extent permitted by law, I make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the website, including its accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Technical information on the website may become out of date and is not professional advice for your specific situation.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I am not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of — or inability to use — the website or any website or service linked from it. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Changes to these Terms
I may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. If you continue to use the website after an update, you accept the revised Terms.
