Terms
Last updated: 15 September 2026
This website presents my portfolio and experience. The terms below also cover any work agreed separately in writing. If a written agreement says something different, that agreement applies to the work.
Who you are dealing with
This website is operated by Niko Lubbe, a senior software engineer based in Enschede, Netherlands. You can reach me through the contact form.
What the website is for
The website explains my background, selected work, and ways to get in touch. Its public content is general information. It is not legal, financial, procurement, security, or compliance advice for your organisation unless we agree that work separately in writing.
Bookings and separate agreements
You can get in touch through the contact form. Any further work starts only after we agree the scope, price, timing, responsibilities, and limits in writing.
Client responsibilities
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for having the right to share it. You keep ownership and control of your domains, email, data, subscriptions, and vendor accounts. You must give timely access and decisions when the work needs them. Unless we agree otherwise, I will ask for your approval before purchases, domain transfers, material DNS or email changes, production releases, or other changes that can interrupt your business.
AI, automation, and professional advice
AI output can be wrong, incomplete, or unsuitable for a particular decision. Automations and integrations also depend on the systems and providers they connect to. We agree where human review is needed, but you remain responsible for business decisions and for how the work is used. I can explain the technical design and data flows, but I do not provide legal opinions or formal compliance certificates.
Intellectual property and confidentiality
The text, design, and materials on this website belong to Niko Lubbe unless stated otherwise. The written agreement for an engagement will say who owns the work produced and how existing software, open source code, or third-party material may be used. We both treat non-public information shared for the work as confidential unless it is already public or we agree otherwise.
Third-party services and costs
The work may use services such as domain registrars, email providers, hosting, automation platforms, and AI vendors. You keep the account and contract with each provider unless we agree otherwise. Their terms, pricing, availability, security, and data handling apply. Provider fees and other third-party costs are paid by you unless our written agreement says they are included. Unless we agree a spending limit in writing, I ask before incurring a new third-party cost on your behalf.
Availability, liability, and law
I try to keep the website accurate and available, but I do not guarantee that it will always be error-free or online. Service availability and liability are governed by the written agreement for the work. To the fullest extent allowed by law, I am not liable for decisions based only on public website content. Dutch law governs these terms.
Changes
We agree changes to the scope, timing, price, or service limits before the changed work starts. I may update these website terms when the services, providers, or law change. The date above shows when this page was last updated. Changes do not replace the written agreement for work already underway unless we both agree to that in writing.
