By using theresearchguy.com (“the site”), you agree to the terms below. They’re written in plain English so anyone can understand them — not piles of legal jargon.
About This Site
TheResearchGuy is an independent blog operated by Ahmad Faraz. We publish tech comparisons, programming tutorials, and installation guides. The site is free to use — no subscription, no paywall, no signup required to read.
Using the Site
You’re free to read, share, and learn from anything on this site. In return, we ask that you don’t:
- Scrape, copy, or republish full articles without permission
- Spam the comment section with promotional or off-topic content
- Attempt to break, hack, or disrupt the site
- Use automated tools to download large portions of the content
- Impersonate other commenters or post under false identities
Fair use applies — quoting a paragraph with attribution is fine. Republishing an entire article is not.
Comments and User Content
When you post a comment, you’re responsible for what you write. Don’t post anything that’s:
- Illegal, abusive, or harassing
- Spam or self-promotional
- Misleading or knowingly false
- Infringing on someone else’s copyright
By posting a comment, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display it on the site. We reserve the right to edit, remove, or block comments and commenters who violate these rules — at our discretion, no explanation needed.
Content Accuracy
We try our best to make sure everything we publish is accurate, current, and helpful. But:
- Software changes constantly — installation guides may become outdated
- Tech comparisons reflect our opinion at a point in time
- Code examples are for educational purposes — test before using in production
- We are not liable for any damage, loss, or issue resulting from following our tutorials
If you spot something wrong, please email us — we want to fix it.
Intellectual Property
All articles, images, and design elements on this site are owned by Ahmad Faraz unless otherwise stated. You may:
- Quote short excerpts with proper attribution and a link back
- Share article links freely on social media or via email
- Use code snippets from tutorials in your own projects (consider this MIT-licensed unless noted otherwise)
You may not republish full articles or use our content commercially without written permission.
External Links
We sometimes link to third-party sites (documentation, GitHub repos, related articles). These links are provided for convenience. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.
Disclaimer
The site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We don’t guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free content, or specific outcomes from following our guides. Use at your own risk.
Nothing on this site constitutes professional advice (legal, financial, medical, or otherwise). When making important decisions, consult appropriate professionals.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site — including data loss, downtime, or business losses. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid to access the site (which is zero, since the site is free).
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms occasionally as the site evolves. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
Termination
We reserve the right to block users who violate these terms — by IP, email, or any other reasonable means — without prior notice.
