The website address is blog.hayati.net. Ali Reza Hayati is the author and owner of blog.hayati.net. Throughout this document, blog.hayati.net may be referred to as “this website,” visitors and users as “the user,” and Ali Reza Hayati as “the site owner.”

These policies apply to blog.hayati.net only. If you use tools.hayati.net, separate policies apply — see tools.hayati.net/policies. For the main site at hayati.net, the policies at blog.hayati.net/policies apply unless otherwise stated.

By using or visiting blog.hayati.net, you agree to the policies outlined herein. These policies may be updated or modified at any time without prior notice. Continued use of this website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policies.

All original material published by the site owner among the contents of blog.hayati.net — including, without limitation, blog posts, articles, essays, other written text, images, photographs, illustrations, graphics, audio, video, downloadable files, and anything else among the site’s contents that the site owner creates and publishes, in whatever form and however delivered — is referred to in these policies as “the Material.” The Material is published under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License , except where otherwise noted. This license applies to the Material only, and does not extend to the website’s underlying design, theme, or software — see “Website Design and Theme” below.

This means you are free to:

  • Share: Copy and redistribute the Material in any medium or format.
  • Adapt: Remix, transform, and build upon the Material for any purpose, including commercial use.

Under the following terms:

  • Attribution: You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in a way that suggests the site owner endorses you or your use.
  • ShareAlike: If you remix, transform, or build upon the Material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

Appropriate credit requires providing the name of the site owner, a copyright notice, a license notice, a disclaimer notice, and a link to the original Material. You must also indicate if any modifications have been made.

A copy of the license is available at https://files.hayati.net/licenses/cc-by-sa-04.txt.

All material not originally created by the site owner is the property of its respective copyright holders and requires their permission for redistribution, unless otherwise licensed.

Website Design and Theme #

The visual design, layout, color scheme, typography choices, and overall look and feel of this website (the “Design”) are original work of the site owner and are not published under the Creative Commons license described above. The Design is proprietary and all rights in it are reserved exclusively by the site owner. The underlying WordPress theme that implements this Design is not published or made available for download by the site owner.

Some individual files that make up the theme — such as stylesheet and script files served directly to your browser in order to render this website — are, by their nature as WordPress theme components, licensed under the GNU General Public License v2 or later once they are delivered to you. This is a function of how such files are distributed, not a choice to publish the theme, and the site owner makes no separate offer of the theme as a packaged, standalone download. The GPL license, where it applies, extends only to the literal code contained in the specific files actually delivered to your browser; it does not extend to:

  • the Design itself (the visual look, layout, and aesthetic choices the code produces), which remains protected separately from the code and is not licensed for reuse;
  • any server-side template files, includes, or other theme components that are not themselves transmitted to your browser;
  • the “Ali Reza Hayati” name, the “Hayati” trading name, the Hayati logo, or any associated branding, as described under “Brand and Identity” below.

Reproducing, adapting, or redistributing this website’s Design — including by copying the look of the site into a different theme or codebase — without the site owner’s prior written consent is not permitted and may constitute infringement of the site owner’s rights, independent of any rights you may hold in individual GPL-licensed code files.

Brand and Identity #

Notwithstanding the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License described above, the name “Ali Reza Hayati,” the trading name “Hayati,” the Hayati logo, any stylized versions of either name, and any associated wordmarks, symbols, icons, or brand marks displayed on or associated with this website are expressly excluded from that license and from any other permission granted herein. No license, permission, or right — express or implied — is granted to any party to use, reproduce, display, modify, incorporate, or register any of these elements, in whole or in part, in any medium or context, including in a manner that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with the site owner. All rights in these elements, whether arising under copyright, trademark, or any other applicable law, are reserved exclusively by Ali Reza Hayati. Any use without prior written consent from the site owner constitutes infringement of the site owner’s intellectual property rights and may give rise to legal liability.

To report copyright violations regarding this website, please contact the site owner. This includes instances where unlicensed material is published on this website, or where the Material is used elsewhere without proper licensing.

Privacy #

blog.hayati.net does not collect any personal information. This website does not use analytics, third-party web fonts, tracking cookies, or social network buttons that monitor user activity.

Server logs are maintained by the hosting provider and are purged daily. These logs may contain technical information such as IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. This information is not associated with any individual user and is not shared with third parties.

WordPress and Hosting Platform #

blog.hayati.net runs on WordPress. WordPress itself may set functional cookies or store data as part of its normal operation. The site owner does not use any tracking, analytics, or advertising plugins. However, the underlying hosting provider, KABI.tk Fancy Media and Communications , and the WordPress software may process certain technical data — such as IP addresses and request logs — as a necessary part of serving the website. Users are encouraged to review KABI.tk’s GDPR imprint for further information.

hayati.net and its pages (including everything under /pages) are served as static files and are not generated by WordPress; they are not affected by WordPress cookies or plugins. The hosting provider’s request-log handling described above still applies to them.

Automated Access and AI Training #

Automated scraping, crawling, or systematic harvesting of material from this website — including for the purpose of training artificial intelligence or machine learning models — is not permitted without the site owner’s prior written consent. This applies regardless of whether the material is technically accessible and regardless of the license under which it is published. The site owner reserves the right to take appropriate measures to prevent or restrict such access.

Cookies #

When you visit blog.hayati.net, a temporary session cookie may be placed in your browser for the purpose of maintaining basic website functionality. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Personal Views Disclaimer #

Any views or opinions expressed on this website are solely those of the site owner and do not represent those of any employer or affiliated organization, unless explicitly stated. Opinions expressed in older posts may not reflect the site owner’s current views, as positions may change over time as new information and perspectives are considered. This website may also contain material authored by individuals other than the site owner; the site owner is not responsible for such material.

Material Disclaimer #

All material is provided “as is” without any guarantees, representations, or warranties of any kind, express or implied. The site owner makes no representations regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability of any information published on this website. The user assumes full responsibility for any reliance on the material.

Embedded Material from Other Websites #

When publishing posts or articles that reference external URLs, blog.hayati.net may store metadata related to the linked resource in order to generate rich citations. This may include the author’s name, profile image, and summary text. Removal requests for such data will be processed within 30 days of receipt; requests can be submitted via the contact details below.

Embedded material from other websites behaves as though the visitor accessed those websites directly. These external websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor interactions, especially if the visitor is logged into those services.

Comments #

Comments are currently disabled on this website. This policy will be updated if that changes.

Limitation of Liability #

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the site owner shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or its material. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of data, loss of profits, or any other damages, even if the site owner has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

This website may contain links to third-party websites not operated by the site owner. Clicking an external link will direct you to that third party’s website. It is strongly recommended that you review the privacy policies of any website you visit.

The site owner has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the material, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party website or service. Links to external pages, websites, or media do not imply endorsement of the linked material.

Governing Law #

These policies shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable to the site owner’s jurisdiction. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these policies that cannot be resolved amicably shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the site owner’s place of residence, unless mandatory local law requires otherwise.

Termination #

The site owner reserves the right to discontinue, modify, suspend, or terminate this website or any of its material, in whole or in part, at any time and without prior notice or liability. The site owner is under no obligation to maintain, update, or continue making any material available. Upon any such termination or discontinuation, all provisions of these policies that by their nature should survive — including copyright, brand and identity, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — shall continue to apply.

Severability #

If any provision of these policies is found by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable in any respect, that provision shall be deemed severed from the remainder of these policies. Such severance shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, which shall continue in full force and effect as if the severed provision had never been included.

Waiver #

No failure or delay by the site owner in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these policies shall operate as a waiver of that right, power, or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. A waiver of any breach of these policies shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.

Contact #

For any inquiries or requests, please contact Ali Reza Hayati by email at: hayati [at] hayati [dot] net.

For sensitive matters, the site owner is able to establish a secure communication channel upon initial contact by email.
