Legal Notices

1. About This Website

pl3v.com (the “Site”) is the personal blog and portfolio of Maximilian Nicholson (“the Author”), an individual and tax resident of an applicable jurisdiction. The Site is operated on a strictly non-commercial, not-for-profit basis. No goods or services are sold through the Site and no revenue is generated from it.

The operational expenses of the Site — including but not limited to hosting, domain registration, and infrastructure costs — are funded in part or in full by AHM Holdings Ltd, a company incorporated in England and Wales with global operations (“the Sponsor”). Maximilian Nicholson is the sole owner of AHM Holdings Ltd. Notwithstanding that common ownership, this sponsorship arrangement is a purely financial one. AHM Holdings Ltd exercises no editorial control over the content published on the Site, does not direct the Author’s opinions or research, and is not responsible for any statements, views, or information appearing on the Site. The Author retains full and sole editorial independence.

2. No Commercial Activity

The Site does not charge for access, accept subscriptions, sell advertising, or derive income of any kind. Any mention of products, services, or third-party organisations is purely informational and does not constitute endorsement, sponsorship, or a commercial relationship unless explicitly and prominently stated otherwise on the relevant page.

3. Disclaimer of Liability

All content published on the Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Site constitutes, or should be construed as, professional advice of any kind, including without limitation legal, financial, medical, investment, or technical advice. Readers should seek independent professional advice before acting on any information contained herein.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Author, AHM Holdings Ltd, and any of their respective employees, contractors, agents, officers, and directors expressly disclaim all liability for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise — arising from reliance on the content of the Site or from any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies therein. The Site is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

4. Editorial Independence

All opinions, analyses, findings, and conclusions expressed on the Site are solely those of the Author in a personal capacity and do not represent the views, positions, or policies of AHM Holdings Ltd, any employer of the Author, or any other institution with which the Author may be affiliated. Although the Author is the sole owner of AHM Holdings Ltd, that ownership interest creates no obligation on the part of the Author, in his capacity as publisher of this Site, to promote, favour, or otherwise represent the commercial or other interests of AHM Holdings Ltd. The two roles — personal blogger and company owner — are maintained as legally and editorially distinct.

5. Intellectual Property & Copyright

Unless otherwise stated, all text, graphics, code, interactive elements, and other content on the Site are © 2026 Maximilian Nicholson. All rights reserved. Furthermore, all code and intellectual property (IP) used or displayed on this website are entirely distinct and differentiated from AHM Holdings Ltd and its proprietary assets.

You may reproduce short extracts from the Site for non-commercial purposes (criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, research) provided that clear and prominent attribution is given to the Author and a hyperlink to the original page is included. Reproduction of substantial portions of any article, or any reproduction for commercial purposes, requires the prior written consent of the Author. Requests should be directed to the contact address below.

Third-party materials (including but not limited to datasets, quotations, and images) remain the property of their respective owners and are used under applicable licences or the doctrine of fair dealing. If you believe any content on the Site infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact the Author with full particulars and the content will be reviewed promptly.

6. Privacy & Data

The Site does not set advertising or tracking cookies, does not use third-party analytics services, and does not collect personally identifiable information through any form, account, or subscription mechanism.

Standard web-server access logs (comprising IP address, request path, HTTP method, response code, referrer, user-agent string, and timestamp) may be retained for up to 30 days for the purposes of security monitoring, abuse prevention, and performance diagnostics. These logs are not sold, shared with third parties, or used for profiling. Retention beyond 30 days may occur where required by law or where a security incident is under active investigation.

The Site is intended for a general audience. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with comprehensive data-protection legislation, and you believe the processing of your data gives rise to rights under applicable law (including rights of access, erasure, or objection), please contact the Author using the details below.

7. External Links

The Site may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. The Author has no control over the content, privacy practices, or availability of any linked site and accepts no responsibility or liability in connection with them. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site or its operators.

8. Accuracy & Updates

The Author endeavours to ensure that all content is accurate at the time of publication but makes no representation or warranty as to the completeness, accuracy, currency, or fitness for purpose of any content. Scientific and technical fields evolve rapidly; older posts may not reflect current understanding and should be read in that context. The Author reserves the right to amend, update, or remove content at any time without notice.
