The software licence is a separate document Any right to install, activate and use the Cortessa product is governed by a separate End User Licence Agreement (EULA) entered into with the customer, not by these website terms and not by any page on this Site.

4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose, or in breach of these Terms;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its hosting infrastructure or any connected system, or probe, scan or test its vulnerability;
- introduce malware, or launch any denial-of-service, automated-scraping or excessive-load activity; and

5. No reliance / accuracy of information
The Site is informational. We aim to keep it accurate and current, but content is provided for general information about Cortessa and its capabilities and does not constitute a contractual offer, a warranty, a specification, or professional, legal, security or procurement advice. Product capabilities, performance figures and roadmap items described on the Site are subject to their stated test context and to change. Any procurement, evaluation or deployment decision should be made under a written agreement, not in reliance on Site content alone.
6. Disclaimers
Access to the Site is free of charge. To the extent permitted by law, the Site is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any defect will be corrected. Any links to third-party sites are provided for convenience only; we do not control and are not responsible for their content.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any consumer’s statutory rights, or anything that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
7. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Subject to that, and to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable, or for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill or data, arising from your use of (or inability to use) this free informational Site or from reliance on its content.
8. Export control and sensitive content
Cortessa is a defence-adjacent product. Do not send us, through any route published on this Site, any material that is classified, export-controlled (including under UK strategic export controls or US ITAR/EAR), or specific to a real defence programme. The Site is not a channel for controlled technical information. This clause is an acceptable-use restriction; it is not an export-control determination — any export-control question must be referred to a trade-compliance specialist.
9. Privacy and cookies
Our handling of personal data connected with the Site is described in our Privacy Policy, and our position on cookies (the Site sets none) in our Cookie Notice.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version and date at the top show the current version. Your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
11. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute arising from them (including any non-contractual dispute) are governed by the law of Scotland, and the Scottish courts have jurisdiction — subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights that entitle a consumer to rely on the law of, or bring proceedings in, their own place of residence.
