Bytes of InfoSec

Using this website

These terms apply when you use the Bytes of InfoSec website and its free information and resources. Separate purchase terms will apply to paid digital products.

By using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and in a way that does not damage, interfere with or misuse the website, its services or other users.

Information, not individual professional advice

BOI provides general educational and practical information about cyber security, information security, governance, risk, resilience and organisational decision-making. Content is not tailored legal, regulatory, financial, technical or other professional advice for your particular circumstances.

You remain responsible for decisions made for your organisation and should obtain appropriate specialist advice where the circumstances require it.

Accuracy and currency

BOI aims to make content useful and evidence-informed and to correct material errors when identified. Cyber security, technology, law and guidance change over time, so BOI cannot promise that every item will remain complete or current indefinitely.

Availability and security

BOI does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the website. Services may be changed, suspended or withdrawn where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, recovery or development.

External links

BOI may link to third-party websites and guidance for convenience and evidence. Those services are controlled by their respective operators. A link does not mean BOI controls or guarantees the external content.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, BOI website content, original tools, written material, branding and product material are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. You may read and use publicly available BOI material for ordinary personal or internal business reference. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, redistribute or present substantial BOI material as your own without permission, except where law permits.

Responsible use

You must not use the site to introduce malicious code, attempt unauthorised access, disrupt services, scrape or extract content at a harmful scale, infringe rights or carry out unlawful activity.

Liability

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit liability where doing so would be unlawful. Subject to applicable law, BOI is not responsible for losses arising solely from treating general website information as a substitute for advice appropriate to your specific circumstances.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as BOI services develop or legal requirements change. The version in force will be made available on the website.

Governing law

The final governing-law and jurisdiction wording will be confirmed before launch once BOI’s legal trading identity is finalised and the consumer/business sales model has been checked.
