1. Scope

These terms govern the use of the personal website operated at marcelrgberger.com ("the Site") by DigitalFreedom Global LLC, 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States ("the operator"). The Site is an informational and personal-branding presence for Marcel R. G. Berger; it offers no products or paid services. For client engagements see theapparchitect.com.

2. Content and Use

All content on the Site, text, images, code samples, brand assets, is the intellectual property of the operator or its licensors and is provided for personal, non-commercial reading. Linking to the Site is permitted. Reproducing or redistributing content requires prior written consent.

The information on this Site reflects the operator's opinion at the time of writing. It is not legal, tax, financial, or technical advice. Use at your own risk.

3. Newsletter

Subscription to the newsletter is voluntary, free of charge, and requires explicit double opt-in confirmation. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email or by emailing hello@digitalfreedom.co.za. The operator may discontinue the newsletter or change its content at any time without notice.

4. External Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites (App Store, GitHub, LinkedIn, Amazon, etc.). The operator has no control over the content of these external sites and accepts no responsibility for them. Linked sites were reviewed at the time of linking; no illegal content was apparent.

5. Availability

The Site is offered "as is" and "as available". The operator does not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or fitness for any specific purpose. Scheduled maintenance, hosting changes, or third-party outages (e.g. GitHub Pages, Cal.com, Apple App Store, GitHub API) may affect availability or the display of dynamic data (apps, ratings, GitHub activity).

6. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, the operator is liable only for damages caused by intent or gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence is limited to the breach of essential contractual obligations and the foreseeable damage typical for the relevant agreement. Mandatory statutory liability, including liability under applicable product liability law and for injury to life, body, or health, remains unaffected.

7. Data Protection

Personal data is processed in accordance with the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

8. Changes

The operator may update these terms when content, processing, or applicable law changes. The current version is always available on this page.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States of America, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you act as a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence (Art. 6 (2) Rome I Regulation and equivalent rules).

For users who are not consumers, the courts of Sheridan County, Wyoming, United States, have exclusive jurisdiction. Consumers may bring proceedings before the courts of their country of habitual residence, and may be sued by the operator only before those courts.

10. Consumer Disputes (EU)

The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform ceased operation on 20 July 2025 following the repeal of Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 by Regulation (EU) 2024/3228. Consumers may contact the operator directly at hello@digitalfreedom.co.za. The operator is neither obligated nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board unless required by law.

11. Severability

If any provision of these terms is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected.
