Terms of use
Effective: 19 October 2026 · Operated from Sri Lanka
Welcome to tharulthenuwara.com, a personal website operated by Tharul Thenuwara. You may browse the site for personal, informational, and non-commercial purposes. The following terms explain how the content and interactive tools may be used.
1. Original work and copyright
Unless a page states otherwise, original writing, illustrations, site design, photographs and project materials are reserved to their respective rights holders. You may link to public pages and quote brief excerpts with appropriate attribution as permitted by law. Do not republish, sell, redistribute, or claim ownership of substantial original work without permission, except where the law permits it. Historical facts themselves are not claimed as exclusive property.
2. Fonts and credited external sources
Open-source typefaces, where installed, remain under their own licences. Historical stories link to the source institutions and authors. Source credits identify the origin of factual research; they do not imply sponsorship or permission to reproduce the source's photographs or entire articles. See Credits & sources for more detail.
3. Interactive tools
The code-art examples are offered for learning and personal experimentation. Use them at your own discretion; keep backups of work you want to preserve. Pixel drawings are not saved to an account or automatically backed up. You are responsible for content you choose to create or export.
4. Messages and contact
The guestbook creates an email draft instead of a public post. Please don't send spam, unlawful material, threatening content, or another person's private information. Sending a message does not establish a contract, professional relationship, or obligation to respond.
5. External links
Links to other websites are provided for context or convenience. External services are operated by their respective owners, and their content, terms and availability can change. Mentioning or linking to a service does not suggest affiliation or endorsement.
6. Accuracy and availability
Projects, experiments and historical summaries may be updated or corrected. The website is provided for general information and enjoyment, without a promise of uninterrupted availability or error-free content. Nothing here is professional legal, financial, or technical advice for your specific situation.
7. Responsibility
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website operator is not responsible for indirect losses resulting from your use of this freely provided site or third-party links. Nothing in these terms removes legal rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Governing law and changes
These terms are intended to be interpreted under the laws of Sri Lanka, subject to any mandatory protections that apply to you. They may be revised if the website changes. The effective date above indicates the latest version.
9. Contact
For permissions, factual corrections, copyright concerns or questions, contact hello@oryvek.com. Include a link to the relevant page when possible.
