Terms of Use

1. 🔍 Purpose of the Site

Homatica.cc is a personal project site showcasing automation designs, technical insights, and collaborative experiments. It is intended for educational, inspirational, and informational use only.

2. 🧠 Intellectual Property

All content — including text, diagrams, code snippets, and media — is created by Claudio Cabete unless otherwise noted.

3. 🔐 Privacy & Data Collection

This site does not use invasive tracking. Any analytics, if present, are privacy-respecting and self-hosted. No personal data is collected unless you explicitly provide it. Unlike many smart home platforms, Homatica.cc does not rely on cloud services that harvest behavioral data or device usage patterns. Privacy is a core design principle.

4. ⚙️ External Links & Tools

Links to external resources are provided for convenience and inspiration. Claudio is not responsible for the content or practices of external sites.

5. 🧰 DIY Hardware Disclaimer

Projects involving hardware and automation are shared for educational purposes only. Replication is at your own risk. Follow safety guidelines and consult professionals when needed.

6. 🤖 AI-Assisted Content

Some content is created in collaboration with AI tools. Final decisions and implementations reflect Claudio’s judgment and experience. AI is a creative partner—not a substitute for oversight.

7. 📜 Licensing Notes

Unless otherwise specified, code snippets are released under the MIT License. You’re free to use, modify, and distribute with attribution.

8. 🛠️ Responsible Automation Practices

Automation should be transparent, traceable, and fail-safe. Users are encouraged to test thoroughly, include manual overrides, respect privacy, and consider household impact. Automation should serve the user—not the cloud, vendor, or algorithm.

9. 🚫 No Guarantees

Content is provided “as is.” No guarantees are made regarding completeness, performance, or suitability.

10. 📬 Contact & Feedback

Questions, suggestions, or collaboration inquiries are welcome via the contact form or email.

11. 📄 Changes to These Terms

Terms may be updated periodically. Continued use implies acceptance of revisions.
