Legal
Terms of use
What you can expect from this site and from working with me, what you cannot, and where the limits are. Written to be read rather than to be survived.
- Last reviewed: [PLACEHOLDER: date these policies were last reviewed]
- Not yet reviewed by a solicitor
These documents were written to be accurate about how this site actually works, clause by clause, against the code that runs it. They have not been reviewed by a solicitor.
They should be, before this site takes real traffic or takes money. Treat everything below as a good-faith description of current practice rather than as finished legal advice, and if you are relying on it for anything that matters, write to me and ask.
What this site is
iadanish.com is the personal site of Izhar Ahmad Danish, AI Product Consultant, based in Islamabad, Pakistan. It describes consulting engagements and courses, publishes writing and a newsletter, and reviews tools.
Using the site means these terms apply to you. If you do not accept them, the remedy is simple and costs nothing: close the tab.
What the offers are
There are three consulting engagements (a free strategy call, a two-week Build Sprint, and a 90-day team adoption engagement) and a set of courses. What each one includes is set out on its own page, and that page is the description you should rely on.
The free strategy call is free with no obligation and no purchase attached. Where the page for an engagement and this page disagree, the engagement page wins; where a signed engagement contract and either page disagree, the contract wins. Nothing here overrides a contract you have actually signed.
Booking, rescheduling and cancellation for a paid engagement work as follows: [PLACEHOLDER: cancellation, rescheduling and payment-schedule terms for paid engagements: deposit, notice period, and what happens to a missed session].
Strategy calls include a recording and a written summary, which means they are recorded. I will say so at the start. If you would rather not be recorded, say so and I will not record it; the call still happens.
What the offers are not
Nothing on this site is financial, legal, investment, tax or medical advice. Not the newsletter, not an article, not a tool review, not anything said on a call. If you need advice of that kind, get it from someone regulated to give it.
Nothing here guarantees a business outcome. The results described on this site are my own, or ones I was part of. They are specific and they are true, and they are not a prediction about you. What you get out of an engagement depends on your product, your market, your team and how much of the work you actually do.
An engagement is not employment, agency, partnership or a joint venture, and it does not make me a director, officer or decision-maker in your company.
I am not your engineering team. I ship with AI tooling and I say so everywhere on this site. On a Build Sprint the work goes into your real codebase, and you remain responsible for reviewing, testing and operating what runs in your production environment.
Refunds
The risk is mine, not yours. If you finish the first week of a Build Sprint and do not believe it will pay for itself, tell me and I refund it in full. I have never had to, but the offer is real and it is in the contract: I would rather lose a fee than have someone tell five people it was not worth it.
That is the Build Sprint position, stated once here and once on the consulting pages, and it is the same sentence in both places on purpose.
The 90-day team engagement is not covered by it, because it is scoped and contracted separately: [PLACEHOLDER: refund or exit position for the 90-day Team AI Adoption engagement: notice period and what is refundable mid-term].
Courses: [PLACEHOLDER: refund policy for the paid courses: the Build Sprint guarantee does not automatically cover them, so state the window and the conditions]. The free course is free; there is nothing to refund.
If you are a consumer in the UK or the EU buying a digital product, your statutory cancellation rights sit on top of anything written here and are not affected by it.
Intellectual property
The writing, artwork, course material, templates and code on this site belong to Izhar Ahmad Danish unless something says otherwise. You are welcome to read it, quote it with attribution and link to it. You may not republish it wholesale, resell it, or feed it into a product that repackages it.
Course access is a personal, non-transferable licence to one person. Sharing a login with a team is not a grey area; if a team needs it, there is a team option and it costs less than the argument.
In a consulting engagement: the deliverables produced specifically for you (the code, the specs, the configuration in your repo) are yours once you have paid for them. The underlying method, templates and tooling stay mine, and you get an unlimited licence to use them inside your own organisation. You cannot resell them as your own product.
If you want to write publicly about working together, please do. If you want to use my name or the site's artwork in your own marketing, ask first.
Third-party tools and links
This site links to tools and services I do not control. Their terms and their privacy practices are theirs, not mine, and a link is not an assurance about either.
Some links are affiliate links. They are marked, and the full position is on the affiliate disclosure page.
Tools change. A review that was accurate when it was written can be wrong six months later, and I would rather you checked the current pricing and terms yourself than took a page on this site as today's truth.
Using the site
Do not attempt to break into it, disrupt it, scrape it at a volume that degrades it for anyone else, or use it to send anything unlawful. Do not misrepresent yourself as me.
I may decline or end an engagement, or remove access to a course, if someone is abusive to me or to another participant. That has never happened and I do not expect it to; it is written down so that the answer is not being invented in the moment.
Limits on liability
The site and its content are provided as they are. I take real care with what I publish and I do not warrant that it is complete, current, or right for your situation.
To the fullest extent the law allows, I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data or lost business opportunity, arising from the use of this site or from an engagement. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you actually paid me for the engagement the claim relates to.
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If a court finds any part of this section unenforceable, the rest of it still stands.
Governing law
These terms are governed by [PLACEHOLDER: governing law jurisdiction (confirm with a solicitor)], and disputes go to the courts of that jurisdiction.
If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory law of the country you live in.
When these terms change
I update this page when the offers or the site change. The date at the top is the date it was last reviewed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the current version.
A change does not apply retrospectively to an engagement already under way. The terms you agreed at the start of that engagement are the terms it finishes under.
Write to [PLACEHOLDER: public contact email]. Put the word in the subject line if you like; it does not need to be formal, and it does not need to come from a solicitor.
