Terms of use.
1. Operator and purpose
Yerlin Antonio Ugarte Baldelomar, an independent professional trading as Yerlin Ugarte, operates this website from San José, Costa Rica. Contact: contacto@yerlinugarte.com. The site presents services, experience, demonstrations and articles. These terms govern permitted website use to the extent enforceable under applicable law. They do not replace a signed service agreement or obtain consent to marketing or personal data processing merely because you browse.
2. Permitted and prohibited use
You may browse and share links for lawful personal or professional evaluation. Do not attempt unauthorised access, disrupt availability, introduce malicious code, impersonate others, send unlawful or abusive material or extract personal information for unsolicited marketing. Automated access must respect applicable law and published technical restrictions. This does not restrict lawful accessibility tools, permitted search indexing, statutory exceptions or good-faith security reporting without unauthorised exploitation or disclosure of personal data.
3. Intellectual property
Original text, design and code remain with their respective rights holders. Yerlin Ugarte reserves rights in original work he owns. Photographs, fonts, software, logos and client materials may carry separate licences; those licences and statutory exceptions prevail for their material. Browsing does not transfer ownership or grant permission to sell, redistribute or reuse this portfolio as your own template. Request permission beyond permitted uses. Deliverable ownership, reusable components, third-party licences and any transfer conditional on payment must be defined in the project’s written agreement; this page does not change them retroactively.
4. Proposals, scope and payment
Services and Pricing describe possible collaborations, not a binding quote, fixed delivery date or guaranteed availability. An enquiry does not create a paid engagement. Before work begins, a written agreement should define deliverables, milestones, fees, taxes, expenses, payment terms, revisions, acceptance, support, confidentiality and cancellation. Scope changes require agreement on additional cost and timing. Client delays in providing approved materials or access may affect schedules. Browsing creates no automatic subscription, charge, penalty or blanket non-refundable fee.
5. Materials you provide
Share only materials you are authorised to provide and accurate contact details. A private enquiry grants only the permission needed to review and answer it, not public publication, sale or unrestricted reuse. For projects, you are responsible for the rights and lawful instructions associated with your supplied materials, subject to the agreed responsibilities. Do not send confidential credentials through the initial form. Confidentiality and secure-transfer arrangements can be agreed before sensitive project materials are exchanged.
6. Portfolio, articles and results
Demonstrations and screenshots illustrate particular versions and may differ from external pages. A demonstration does not imply official institutional status, endorsement, a current client relationship or measured commercial results unless expressly stated and supported. Articles provide general professional information that needs evaluation for your circumstances. I do not guarantee sales, search rankings, uninterrupted availability, perfect security or compatibility with every future browser or service. Specific performance, accessibility, maintenance and acceptance obligations are agreed for each project without limiting mandatory legal warranties.
7. Third-party services
Mailchimp, social networks, external demos and linked services have their own terms and privacy notices. Their interfaces, prices or availability may change. Links do not confer ownership or control. I remain responsible for my own acts and the obligations imposed on me by law or contract; an external provider does not automatically remove those duties. Report broken or concerning links to the contact above.
8. Lawful limits on liability
To the extent legally permitted, this free informational website is provided as available, without additional contractual promises of completeness or uninterrupted operation. For business users only, where enforceable, liability arising solely from free website use excludes indirect or consequential losses, lost profits and lost opportunities not caused by deliberate misconduct or gross negligence. No clause excludes or limits liability for fraud, deliberate misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, mandatory data protection duties or other legally non-excludable rights or liabilities. Consumers retain mandatory remedies and protections. Liability for paid work follows its separate agreement and mandatory law. These terms do not create immunity from legal claims.
9. Unlawful business submissions
Where validly agreed and legally permitted, a business user is responsible for reasonably documented third-party claims directly caused by materials knowingly supplied without necessary rights or by that user’s deliberate unlawful misuse. This does not apply to consumers or cover my own fault, create unlimited obligations or waive defences. Recovery requires prompt notice, reasonable participation in the defence, mitigation and any required settlement consent. Additional indemnities, if appropriate, belong in a negotiated project agreement.
10. Availability and suspension
The site may undergo maintenance, updates or temporary unavailability. Access may be proportionately restricted for abuse, security or legal requirements. Where practical and legally appropriate, a material restriction affecting an existing contractual relationship will be explained. This does not cancel paid deliverables, remove accrued rights or allow arbitrary withholding of services already owed.
11. Applicable law and disputes
You may contact me first to seek a resolution; this is not a compulsory step that prevents timely court or regulatory action. Subject to conflict-of-law rules and any valid separate agreement, Costa Rican law governs these terms. This does not deprive consumers of mandatory protections in their habitual residence, including EU or US protections where applicable. Competent courts follow applicable law; no exclusive foreign venue, mandatory arbitration or class-action waiver is imposed here. Available regulatory and consumer complaint procedures remain open to you.
12. Updates and interpretation
Changes apply prospectively from the revision date and do not silently amend existing project agreements. Material contractual changes require legally required notice or acceptance. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues only where lawful and workable; this clause does not make an unfair consumer term binding. English and Spanish are intended to have the same meaning without overriding mandatory language or consumer rules. Send questions and rights-related notices to the email above. The Privacy Policy explains personal data practices separately.
