These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of the coruz.pt website, the website of the CORUZ activity and blog of Pedro Coruche. By using this site, you accept these terms.
1. Who I am
The coruz.pt website is the website of the CORUZ activity, run by Pedro Coruche, based in Porto, Portugal. The activity is at an early, testing stage, run as a sole trader; no legal entity has been set up yet. "Coruz" comes from the surname Coruche and does not refer to a registered company. The site is mainly informational. The CORUZ Control, CORUZ Process and Audit pages present the tools and the work I offer to companies. Sending a message, writing on WhatsApp or booking a call does not constitute any contract and creates no obligation for either party: the terms of any collaboration are always agreed in writing.
The services described on this site are aimed at companies and professionals, not at consumers.
2. Services
- The first conversation is free and creates no commitment.
- Each mission has a scope and a quote agreed in writing before it starts. No figure published on the site is an offer.
- The examples shown (process maps, reports, tables and messages) are illustrative: they do not reproduce client data or results achieved. Where client cases appear on the site, they are only published with the permission of the person who lived them and do not guarantee the same results at another company.
- The work covers how operations are organised. I do not give legal, tax or accounting advice.
- CORUZ Control is a test version, by invitation and with an account only, under these Terms and the Apps Privacy Policy. It is not for sale, is not the subject of any offer and has no price. Its features may change, it may contain errors and it may be interrupted. Anyone trying it should only enter data they are entitled to use. Registering your interest in CORUZ Control creates no commitment for either party. The CORUZ Control terms also apply.
- CORUZ Process is in closed testing: only account holders can log in, there is no offer or price, and nothing on this page is a commitment. It is subject to these Terms and the Apps Privacy Policy. The CORUZ Process terms also apply.
- In CORUZ Control's budgets and client portal, the organisation is responsible for the amounts and data it enters, for deciding what it shows its client, and for having a legal basis and a contract or data processing agreement before inviting them. The organisation can revoke a client's access at any time.
- CORUZ Control beta conditions. The beta is closed and has limited places (at most 15 companies). Access is requested on a public page, by companies only (with a tax number), and each request is approved or refused by hand, with no obligation to give reasons. If approved, the trial lasts 30 days from the start of use and may be extended at my discretion. At the end of the trial the organisation becomes read-only and you can download your data under Options, "My data". Feedback may be requested and is voluntary; saying you are interested in a paid version creates no commitment for either party. I do not guarantee the availability or continuity of the beta, which I may change or end.
- Results depend on how the team applies what is delivered; no results or deadlines are guaranteed unless agreed in writing.
3. Use of the site
- The site's content (background, blog articles and the CORUZ Control, CORUZ Process and Audit pages) is for informational purposes and is not a contractual offer.
- You agree to use the site lawfully, without interfering with its normal operation or attempting to access unauthorised areas or data.
- The contact form is intended exclusively for genuine messages.
4. Intellectual property
The site's content (texts, visual identity, logo, images and structure) belongs to Pedro Coruche or is used with the appropriate authorisation. It may not be copied, redistributed or reused commercially without prior written permission.
5. Limitation of liability
The information made available on the site, including blog articles and informational content, is provided "as is", with no guarantee of permanent accuracy. To the extent permitted by applicable law, I am not liable for decisions taken solely on the basis of the informational content of the site, without adequate professional validation. Nothing in this clause excludes or limits liability that the law does not allow to be excluded or limited.
6. Links to third parties
The site may contain links to third-party services (for example, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp, Cal.com). I do not control and am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these external services.
7. Data protection
The processing of personal data collected through the site is governed by the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy.
8. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Portuguese law. For the resolution of any dispute arising from the use of the site, the courts of the judicial district (comarca) of Porto, Portugal, have jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection and jurisdiction rules that apply.
9. Changes to these Terms
I may update these Terms when the site or the applicable law change. The version in force is always the one published on this page.
