These Terms of Service are a legal agreement between you and Timoteo Eduardo de Carvalho Soutello Consultoria em Tecnologia da Informação LTDA (CNPJ 49.312.279/0001-38), operating under the brand Soutello IT, located in Brazil. By accessing or using this website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms in full.

Permitted use of the site

You may access and read the public content of this website for personal, professional, or research purposes. You may share links to the site and quote our content with appropriate attribution. You may not:

  • Copy, reproduce, or republish substantial portions of this website without prior written consent;
  • Use the site or its content for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose;
  • Interfere with the normal operation of the site, attempt to gain unauthorized access, or use automated tools that place an unreasonable load on our servers;
  • Use our brand, logos, or visual identity in a way that implies an endorsement that does not exist;
  • Train AI or machine learning systems on the full text of this site without prior written permission. Reasonable, short quotations with attribution are permitted.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all content on this website — including text, images, layout, code, articles, and visual identity — is the intellectual property of Soutello IT or its founder, Timoteo Soutello. Third-party logos and trademarks referenced on the site (for example, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and customer logos used with permission) are the property of their respective owners and are used for informational or illustrative purposes only.

Content and accuracy

The articles and educational materials on this site are provided as professional opinion and general guidance, based on years of practical engineering experience. We try to keep them accurate, useful, and up to date, but technology evolves quickly. Content should not be treated as legal, financial, or compliance advice, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for specific engineering decisions in your environment without further analysis or consultation.

Third-party links

This site may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. These links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site, and accessing those sites is at your own risk.

Disclaimer

This website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, free of errors, or that any defects will be corrected.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Soutello IT and its founder shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profit, revenue, data, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to the use of this website or its content, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any direct damages, if applicable, shall not exceed the amount paid by you, if any, to access or use this website during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the liability.

Consulting services

This website describes consulting services offered by Soutello IT. The website itself is not an offer to provide those services. Any consulting engagement is subject to a separate written agreement (statement of work or services contract) signed between Soutello IT and the client, which will define scope, deliverables, fees, intellectual property, confidentiality, and warranties applicable to that engagement.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be highlighted when reasonably possible. Continued use of the site after such changes means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Any dispute arising from these terms or from the use of this website will be resolved in the competent courts of the city of Soutello IT's registered office, unless a different forum is required by applicable consumer protection law.
