1. About ETROYL
ETROYL is an independent engineering and R&D initiative founded by Dr. Siavash Ardekani. The website presents ETROYL's engineering capabilities, technical interests, projects under development, engineering insights, and other information intended for professional and general informational purposes.
Contact address: , ,
2. Purpose and nature of the website
The website is intended to provide information about ETROYL and its technical capabilities. Technical articles, examples, project descriptions, models, demonstrations, and other material are provided in the context in which they are presented. Information published on the website does not by itself constitute a project specification, engineering acceptance criterion, professional advice, warranty, offer, quotation, or commitment to undertake a particular project.
3. Engineering information and project descriptions
ETROYL aims to present technical information accurately and in good faith. Some project pages describe engineering directions, capabilities, concepts, prototypes, or areas of development rather than completed client deliveries. Nothing on the website should be interpreted as a claim that a particular system has been delivered to a customer unless that is expressly stated.
4. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, the ETROYL name, branding, logo, website design, original text, graphics, photographs, and other original website content are owned by or used by ETROYL with the necessary rights. Certain materials may be open-source, third-party, or subject to a separate licence; the applicable licence takes precedence for that material.
5. Open-source and third-party material
Where ETROYL publishes or references open-source software, HDL/IP, tools, libraries, documentation, or other third-party material, use may be governed by a separate licence. You are responsible for complying with the applicable licence terms.
6. External websites and services
External links are provided for convenience or additional information. ETROYL does not control the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of external services. Their own terms and policies apply.
7. Website availability and accuracy
ETROYL makes reasonable efforts to keep the website available and accurate, but does not guarantee that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, or current. Content or functionality may be modified, suspended, or removed when reasonably necessary.
8. No warranty for specific applications
Technical information is not a substitute for project-specific analysis, verification, testing, safety assessment, regulatory assessment, or professional engineering judgement. Before using technical information in a real system, the user is responsible for determining suitability and carrying out appropriate validation.
9. Responsible use
You must not damage, disable, overburden, interfere with, or compromise the website or its infrastructure, violate applicable law, obtain unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, or use automation in a way that unreasonably interferes with normal operation.
10. Privacy
Processing of personal data is described in the ETROYL Privacy Policy.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ETROYL will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from use of, or inability to use, the website or information published on it. Nothing excludes liability where such exclusion is prohibited by law.
12. Changes to these Terms
ETROYL may update these Terms when the website, services, or applicable requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page together with its update date.
13. Applicable law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Belgian law, without prejudice to mandatory rights or protections applicable to consumers or other users. Subject to mandatory jurisdiction rules, disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts of Belgium.
