These terms cover your use of astn.io, my personal website, and its comment system. I’m Austin Hagel, and “I” and “me” here mean me. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.
How I handle your information is covered separately in the Privacy Policy.
My content
The writing, images, designs and other work on this site are mine unless they say otherwise, and I keep the rights to them. You’re welcome to link to anything here, and to quote short parts of it with credit and a link back.
- Code in posts and guides: you’re free to use code snippets from my blog posts and guides in your own projects, with or without credit.
- Projects: a project that names its own license, like an open-source repository, is covered by that license instead. Some design projects were made for clients or organizations, who may own the work. It’s shown here as part of my portfolio.
- Downloads: files offered for download are for personal use and reference, unless the project says otherwise. Please don’t resell them or pass them off as your own.
- Other people’s work: fonts, icons, libraries and other material made by others belong to their creators and are credited on the Attributions page.
Comments
You can comment on posts and projects, either anonymously or by signing in with an account from a provider like Google or GitHub.
Ground rules
Keep comments respectful and on topic. Don’t post anything that:
- harasses, threatens or demeans anyone, or attacks people based on who they are
- is spam, advertising, or links to scams or malware
- is illegal, or infringes someone else’s copyright or other rights
- shares someone’s private information without their permission
- pretends to be someone else
Moderation
It’s my site, so I can edit, hide or delete any comment, and block anyone from commenting, at my discretion, with or without notice. I’m not able to review every comment, and I’m not obliged to keep any comment up.
Your comments
You’re responsible for what you post, and comments are the opinions of the people who wrote them, not mine. You keep ownership of your comments. By posting one, you give me permission to store it and show it on this site, and to keep showing it until you or I delete it.
Signing in
Signing in uses your account with a third-party provider, so that provider’s own terms also apply. You’re responsible for anything posted from your account.
Guides and advice
My guides, posts and code are shared to be helpful, but they’re for general information only. They may contain mistakes or go out of date. Test things yourself and keep backups before you change anything important. You use them at your own risk.
Links to other sites
This site links to other websites. I don’t control them and I’m not responsible for their content or how they handle your data.
No warranty
The site and everything on it are provided “as is”, without any warranty. I can’t promise it will always be available, accurate or free of errors, and I may change or remove anything on it at any time.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, I’m not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using this site, its content or its comments, including any indirect or consequential loss.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA. Any dispute about them will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Washington.
Changes to these terms
I may update these terms from time to time. When I do, I’ll change the date at the top of this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
