Last updated: May 20, 2026
Using This Website
You may use this website to learn about Kernel Penguins, review our services, view example work, and contact us about a potential project.
You agree not to misuse the website, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with availability, scrape content at scale, or use the website for unlawful purposes.
Project Discussions
Submitting a contact form, booking a call, or emailing us does not create a client relationship by itself.
Project scope, timelines, fees, deliverables, ownership, support, confidentiality, and payment terms are handled through a separate written proposal, statement of work, service agreement, or similar document.
Estimates and Availability
Any timelines, budgets, technical suggestions, or availability shared before a signed agreement are preliminary and may change after discovery.
We may decline work that is outside our expertise, availability, legal comfort, or ethical boundaries.
Intellectual Property
All website content, branding, design, copy, and code examples belong to Kernel Penguins or their respective owners unless stated otherwise.
Ownership of project deliverables is governed by the applicable project agreement. Until then, no rights are transferred through website use or early discussions.
Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing accurate requirements, timely feedback, necessary access, lawful data, and approvals needed for delivery.
Delays in feedback, access, content, third-party approvals, or payment may affect project timelines and delivery commitments.
Third-Party Tools
Projects may involve third-party platforms, APIs, hosting providers, payment processors, analytics services, AI services, or open-source libraries.
Their availability, pricing, policies, and behavior are controlled by those providers and may be governed by separate terms.
No Warranties
This website is provided for general informational purposes. We try to keep information accurate, but we do not guarantee that all content is complete, current, or error-free.
Service warranties, support commitments, and acceptance criteria apply only when included in a written project agreement.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kernel Penguins is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from website use.
For paid services, liability terms are handled in the applicable written agreement.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
