These terms ("Terms") govern your use of the website at coreoperationsforged.com ("the Site"), operated by Core Operations Forged (a trading name of Aceru Studio, United Kingdom).

By visiting the Site or submitting any form on it, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

Submitting the project enquiry form on the contact page does not create a contract between you and Core Operations Forged. It's an invitation to talk. We'll review your submission and reply within 24 hours to let you know whether we think the project is a good fit and, if it is, propose a discovery call.

Any actual engagement is governed by a separate written Statement of Work ("SOW") signed by both parties. Quotes, estimates, timelines, and proposals provided through this website are non-binding until that SOW is countersigned.

Everything on this Site — copy, code samples, graphics, the 3D scene, animations, case studies, and brand marks — is owned by Core Operations Forged or our clients (where the client's work is featured with their permission).

You're welcome to view and share links to public pages. You may not copy substantial portions of the Site, scrape it programmatically, or reuse our brand marks or case-study content for any commercial purpose without written consent.

You agree not to:

• Use the enquiry form to send spam, malicious links, or automated submissions
• Attempt to circumvent the rate limiter or honeypot fields
• Probe, scan, or attempt to compromise the Site's infrastructure
• Use the Site or its content to defame, harass, or harm any individual or organisation

We reserve the right to block IP addresses or refuse submissions that breach this section.

The Site is provided on an "as is" basis. While we take reasonable care to keep it accurate and available, we don't guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the information will always be current.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the Site itself. Liability arising under a signed Statement of Work is governed by the terms of that SOW, not this document.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.

How we handle data submitted through the Site is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of them is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

We may update these Terms occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the Site after a change indicates acceptance of the updated Terms.
