1. Limitation of Liability
Refine Orbit Daily ("the Publisher") provides editorial briefings and advisory services on cloud refactoring and software modernization. To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the Republic of Korea, the Publisher shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from access to or use of the website, the editorial content, or any deliverable produced under an advisory engagement. The Publisher's total aggregate liability for any direct claim arising under any engagement shall be limited to the amount actually paid by the client for the specific deliverable that gave rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable Korean law.
2. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea. Any dispute arising in connection with the website, the editorial content, or any advisory engagement shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Seoul Central District Court, unless mandatory consumer protection provisions of Korean law require otherwise. Where the parties have agreed in writing to alternative dispute resolution, such agreement shall prevail to the extent permitted by law. Each party undertakes to attempt good-faith negotiation for a period of thirty days before initiating formal proceedings.
3. Intellectual Property Rights
All editorial briefings, advisory deliverables, internal templates, diagrams, and other written work produced and published by the Publisher remain the intellectual property of the Publisher unless an explicit written assignment to a client has been executed. Clients receiving advisory deliverables are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable internal-use license unless otherwise agreed in writing. The trademarks, logos, and brand identifiers referenced on this website are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.
4. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing this website or by entering into any commercial engagement with the Publisher, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these terms. If you are accessing the website on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these terms. Where these terms conflict with the executed engagement letter for a specific advisory engagement, the engagement letter shall prevail. Continued use of the website after revisions to these terms have been published constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
5. User Obligations
You agree to access the website lawfully and to refrain from any conduct that may impair the operation of the website, the security of its systems, or the rights of other users. You shall not attempt to circumvent any technical restrictions, redistribute paid editorial briefings without explicit written permission, or represent yourself as affiliated with the Publisher without authorisation. Where you participate in any feedback channel, comment system, or survey hosted by the Publisher, you grant the Publisher a non-exclusive license to incorporate the feedback into future editorial work, with appropriate anonymisation where requested.
6. Description of Services
The Publisher offers two distinct categories of service. The first is editorial publication: long-form briefings, reference articles, and reported pieces on cloud refactoring and software modernization, made available through this website. The second is advisory work, including architecture reviews, migration playbook development, retainer-based consulting, and short-form workshops, provided under separate engagement letters. The categories are kept editorially independent. Advisory clients are not granted preferential editorial coverage and editorial subjects are not granted advisory consideration. Where any service is materially modified, the Publisher will publish a notice on this website and notify active clients in writing.
7. Termination
These terms remain in force for as long as you continue to access the website or maintain a commercial relationship with the Publisher. The Publisher may suspend or terminate access to the website without notice in cases of suspected misuse, repeated security probing, or violation of these terms. Termination of an advisory engagement is governed by the terms set out in the relevant engagement letter, which shall include reasonable notice periods and clear handover obligations. Sections relating to intellectual property, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.
8. Modifications to Terms
The Publisher reserves the right to revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, in business practice, or in the scope of services offered. The current version is always available on this website with the date of last revision shown at the top. Where modifications materially affect existing client engagements, those clients shall be notified in writing prior to the effective date. Continued use of the website after the effective date of any revision constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
9. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these terms or under an advisory engagement to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of state authorities, natural disasters, infrastructure outages affecting third-party providers, public health emergencies, or large-scale labour disruption. The affected party shall provide prompt written notice and shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the event. Where a force majeure event continues for more than sixty consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected engagement on written notice without further liability beyond amounts already due.
10. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a competent authority, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The parties shall replace any invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent. These terms, together with any executed engagement letter and any document explicitly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior discussions and representations on the same subject matter.
11. Contact for Legal Notices
Any legal notice, demand, or other communication required to be delivered under these terms shall be sent in writing to the Publisher at hello@alert-quickzone.one, with a copy by registered post to the registered office address listed on the Contact page. Notices shall be effective on the date of delivery confirmation. The Publisher will respond to formal legal correspondence within a reasonable period appropriate to the nature of the matter raised.
