Legal
Responsible Use Policy
Last updated
HiveFusion Lab develops and sells cybersecurity, embedded systems, educational, and hardware development products intended for lawful, ethical, and authorized use only.
By purchasing, accessing, or using any HiveFusion Lab product, software, firmware, documentation, or related services, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms.
How our policies fit together
This Responsible Use Policy is one of three documents that govern buying and using our products. They cover different ground and all of them apply:
- This Responsible Use Policy
- governs how you may use our hardware, firmware and software — what the products are for, what is off-limits, and where responsibility sits.
- The Limited Liability & Disclaimer
- covers what the products are warranted to do, what they are not, and the limits of our liability when something goes wrong.
- The Privacy Notice
- governs what personal information we collect when you buy from or interact with us, why we process it, and the rights you have over it.
Read together, they form the terms on which we supply our products and you use them. Nothing in any of them takes away rights you have under applicable law, including consumer protection law. If anything is unclear, contact us at help@hivefusion.in before you buy.
