Terms of service
Last updated
These terms govern your use of lonestarspec.com (the "site"), operated by Kevin Kirk doing business as Lone Star Specialist ("we," "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Use of the site
You may read, link to, and share the content here for lawful purposes. You may not attempt to disrupt or compromise the site, scrape it in a way that burdens the service, or use it to transmit unlawful or harmful material.
Content and intellectual property
The text, design, code samples, and graphics on this site are the property of Lone Star Specialist unless otherwise noted, and are provided for general information. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back. You may not republish substantial portions as your own.
No professional engagement
Reading this site, contacting us, or receiving a reply does not create a contractor relationship. Engagements begin only under a separately signed agreement that defines scope, schedule, fees, and deliverables. The blog and guides are educational and do not constitute professional advice for your specific environment (see also our disclaimer).
No warranty
The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lone Star Specialist is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or business, arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the site or its content. Liability arising from a signed engagement is governed solely by that agreement, not by these terms.
Third-party links
The site links to third-party resources for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for their content or practices.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute relating to the site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas.
Changes
We may update these terms; the current version always lives at this URL with the "Last updated" date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.
