5. Research, Articles and Opinions
Articles, essays, commentary and research on the Website reflect my personal views and the information available at the time of writing. They do not represent the views of any employer, institution, client or collaborator. Research summaries are provided for general understanding and are not a substitute for reading the full published work.

7. Consulting and Advisory Services
The Website describes the kinds of advisory work I undertake. Listing a service or case study is not an offer that creates a binding contract. Any consulting or advisory engagement is subject to a separate written agreement that sets out scope, fees, timelines and confidentiality. Case studies are presented in summary form, and client details are shared only with permission or in anonymised form.
8. User Submissions and Communication
If you send me a message, enquiry or other material through the contact form or email, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you have the right to share it. I will handle your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy. Please do not send confidential or sensitive information unless we have agreed on how it will be protected. Sending a message does not create any professional or confidential relationship by itself.

The Website contains links to external sites and platforms, such as LinkedIn, ORCID, Google Scholar, GitHub, IMDb, Rokomari and YouTube. These are provided for convenience. I do not control, endorse or take responsibility for their content, availability or privacy practices, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
