# Short, plain-English terms of use.

Last updated 2026-05-06

## The deal

This is a personal site. The essays, notes, and other written material are © Waqas Khan Pitafi. You can read everything for free, link to anything, quote up to 100 words for commentary or criticism, and share with attribution.

## What you cannot do

-   Republish whole essays without permission. (Ask. Most of the time the answer is yes with a canonical link.)
-   Use any of this writing to train commercial AI models. The robots.txt blocks the major AI training crawlers; the same intent applies if a crawler ignores it.
-   Misrepresent my position by editing quotes out of context.

## No warranties

The site is provided "as is". The opinions are personal, not legal, financial, or medical advice. If you act on something you read here, that is on you.

## Third-party links

External links go to other people's sites. I do not control them and I am not responsible for what they say.

## Contact

Email [waqas@devbatch.com](mailto:waqas@devbatch.com) for permissions, takedowns, or anything else.

## Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA.
