Terms of Use

Effective April 17, 2026 · Last updated April 17, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of digitalbraid.com(the “Site”), the personal site of Ryan Brady (“I,” “me,” “my”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. About the Site

digitalbraid.com is my personal site. It carries a bio, a resume, external press features, writing on AI and marketing engineering, a small library of self-serve tools and resources, write-ups of personal builds, and a contact form. It is not an active consulting practice, agency, or service business.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Site, including browsing, submitting the contact form, subscribing to updates, or downloading content, you represent that you are at least 18 years old, that you have the legal authority to enter into these Terms, and that you will comply with all applicable laws.

3. The Site Is Informational

Content on the Site — including blog posts, build write-ups, reference material, and interactive tools — is provided for informational purposes. It does not constitute professional, legal, financial, tax, medical, or regulatory advice. Any numbers or outcomes mentioned describe past situations in specific contexts and are not guarantees of equivalent results for your situation.

4. Acceptable Use

When using the Site, you agree not to:

  • Use the Site in violation of any law or regulation
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its systems, or any connected service
  • Introduce malware, viruses, or any code designed to disrupt or damage the Site
  • Scrape, crawl, or harvest content at volumes intended to burden our infrastructure or circumvent rate limiting
  • Use automated tools to submit the contact form or book meetings in bad faith (spam, phishing, competitive intelligence gathering under false pretense)
  • Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source of any feature except as permitted by law
  • Use the Site or its content to build a competing product, training dataset, or directory without our written consent

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, article content, illustrations, and underlying code unless otherwise noted — is owned by me or my licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws.

You may view and share the Site's public content for personal or internal reference with proper attribution and a link back to the original source. You may not:

  • Republish substantial portions of the content on another site or platform without written permission
  • Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or attribution notices
  • Use my name or likeness in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation without consent
  • Use the content to train generative AI models or include it in datasets offered or sold to third parties, except as explicitly permitted by search engines, AI platforms, and archive services that respect the published policies (see the llms.txt file at the Site root)

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6. User-Submitted Content

If you submit a message through the contact form or by email, you represent that you have the right to share it. I handle submitted content in accordance with my Privacy Policy.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site integrates with third-party services including analytics and email delivery, and links to external sites. I am not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of third-party services or sites. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.

8. Disclaimers

The Site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, I disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, and availability.

I do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages — including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or loss of goodwill — arising from or related to your use of the Site or any content on it.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Termination

I may suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, governing law) will survive.

11. Changes to the Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Site.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Nassau County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and me regarding the Site.
  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
  • No waiver. My failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
  • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
