Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 12 October 2026
These Terms & Conditions explain the rules for browsing the Alboriessa Novia website and using its publicly available web design education information. Please read them alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy . These terms concern this informational website; they do not themselves create an enrolment, a paid teaching agreement or a promise of a particular qualification.
1. Website operator and scope
The website presents information associated with , based in New Zealand. Its purpose is to describe web design learning themes, course topics, project methods and related educational resources. The website is available for general information to visitors in New Zealand and elsewhere. These terms apply to your use of the pages and materials that we publish here, except where separate written terms are expressly agreed for an actual education service.
2. Information rather than automatic enrolment
The descriptions of responsive layouts, visual communication, accessibility, typography, UX and portfolio practice are educational overviews. Browsing a course page does not enrol you, reserve a place, create a student account, process payment or establish a tutor–student relationship. A course place, syllabus, fee, schedule, assessment or certificate is not guaranteed by the information on this website. If separate services are offered, we will explain the relevant conditions before a visitor commits to them.
3. Acceptable use
You may access the website for lawful personal research, educational exploration and consideration of available learning opportunities. You must not knowingly introduce malicious code, attempt to interfere with its operation, circumvent access protections or use automated traffic in a way that degrades availability. Do not reproduce materials in a manner that suggests we endorse your own course or business when we have not done so. Ordinary browser caching and reasonable personal quotation are permitted subject to applicable law.
4. Educational content and professional judgment
Web design practices evolve. Our examples and suggested design methods are explanatory and may not suit every technical platform, accessibility need or commercial project. Visitors should test their designs, consult primary technical standards where appropriate and make decisions using their own requirements. Material about portfolio development or careers is guidance, not a representation that a visitor will obtain a job, client, income, accreditation or any particular result.
5. Intellectual property
Unless indicated otherwise, the text, page composition, illustrative course material, visual identity and original presentation on this website belong to us or are used with permission. Existing photographs and third-party marks remain subject to their respective owners’ rights. You may read and retain reasonable personal copies for reference. Republishing substantial parts, commercial redistribution or removal of attribution requires permission unless an applicable statutory exception authorises that use.
6. External learning references
Some learning pages link to independent guidance, including the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative and MDN Web Docs. These links are supplied to help readers explore web standards and browser technologies. They are not embedded services required for our pages to render. We do not operate, control or warrant the accuracy, availability, privacy settings or terms of those external websites. Following an external link is your choice, and the destination provider may apply its own terms and privacy notices.
7. Accuracy and changes to course information
We aim to describe topics and approaches clearly, but the material can include omissions, typographical errors or information that has become outdated. We may revise course descriptions, correct errors, reorganise pages or update sample exercises without prior notice. If a decision materially depends on a specific curriculum detail or an offered course, confirm it with us rather than relying on an archived page or an unauthorised representation by another party.
8. Website availability and technical compatibility
The website is provided on an as-available basis. Browser versions, accessibility settings, device capabilities and network conditions can affect rendering. We may undertake maintenance or experience interruptions beyond our reasonable control. We take reasonable care with the website, but cannot promise continuous, uninterrupted or error-free access. No provision removes guarantees or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer protection legislation.
9. Security and prohibited interference
Do not attempt unauthorised access to hosting systems, tamper with site files, impersonate the operator or distribute harmful material by misusing the site. If you notice a security or accessibility concern, contact us using the details below so it can be reviewed. Our website currently does not provide user-upload areas, payment processing or a public account system, so instructions purporting to request credentials or payments through such features should be treated with caution.
10. Privacy and cookies
Our handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy . The Cookie Policy explains the current website’s storage and tracking position. We do not describe third-party advertising trackers or a cookie-consent system as present when they are not implemented. When you contact us outside the website, your message and details may be processed in order to respond to the enquiry under the applicable privacy framework.
11. Limits of responsibility
To the extent the law permits, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising solely from reliance on general website content, temporary unavailability or information on independently operated third-party sites. This limitation does not exclude responsibility for fraud, intentional wrongdoing, liability that cannot be limited under New Zealand law or mandatory rights available to consumers in their jurisdiction. The suitability of a design technique for a live commercial project must be assessed in its particular context.
12. No transfer of rights
Using this website does not grant you ownership of our intellectual property, exclusive access to materials, a licence to use our branding commercially or any right to represent the operator. An isolated failure by us to enforce a provision does not amount to a continuing waiver of that provision. If a court finds one clause unenforceable, the remaining clauses continue to operate to the extent legally possible.
13. International access and applicable law
The operator is based in New Zealand. These Terms are interpreted under New Zealand law, subject to consumer and privacy protections that may mandatorily apply where a visitor resides. Visitors are responsible for obeying applicable laws when using online resources from their own locations. Where a dispute arises, we encourage an initial good-faith enquiry so the relevant facts can be clarified before formal proceedings are considered.
14. Updates to these Terms
We may update these Terms when course presentation, legislation or the website’s technical features change. The updated text will appear on this page with its revision date. Material changes will apply prospectively where required by law. Continuing to browse after publication does not waive any rights provided by law; if you disagree with the revised terms, you may stop using the website.
