Terms of use

kusiima.com is operated by John Baptist Kusiima, based in Germany and reaching readers in Germany and Uganda. “The site” below means kusiima.com and everything served from it. Using it means these terms apply; they are the only ones that do.

Full identity details are on the imprint. How the site handles personal data is in the privacy notice, which is part of these terms by reference.

Read it, link to it, quote it, send it to someone. None of that needs permission and none of it costs anything. There is no account to make and nothing to agree to before reading.

What is not on: using the forms to send anyone unsolicited mail, trying to get at parts of the site that are not published, scraping it in a way that degrades it for other people, or passing content off as your own. These are the ordinary limits and they are stated so nobody has to guess where they are.

The writing, the design, the identity and the imagery here belong to John Baptist Kusiima unless a page says otherwise. Copyright is asserted under German law and the international conventions that carry it elsewhere, Uganda's Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act, 2006 included.

Quoting a page with attribution and a link is welcome and needs no permission. Republishing it in full, translating it, or using anything here in your own commercial material does need permission. Please ask.

Where a page carries someone else's work — Notion's own interface in a screenshot, for one — it stays theirs and appears here to illustrate a point, not to claim it.

I design and build Notion workspaces — reviews, changes and new builds — described on Notion workspaces. Sending a message is not a booking, and a reply to one is not a contract — it commits neither side to anything. Each project is agreed separately in writing, with its scope, price and terms, before any work starts.

The newsletter is sent when a new template is out or a Notion release is worth knowing about, on no fixed schedule, and it may stop entirely. Signing up is free, gets you no rights over the content, and can be undone from the link at the bottom of every issue.

Subscribing an address you do not control is a misuse of the form. The confirmation step exists to make that fail, and it does.

Templates are listed on the templates page. A free template may open as a public Notion page that you duplicate into your own account; that copy is yours to use and change, and Notion's terms cover the duplicating. A paid template is got from the shop it opens on — the Notion Marketplace, Payhip or Gumroad — under that shop's terms: it takes the payment, issues the receipt and handles refunds under the policy shown on the listing. These terms only cover what this site says about a template.

A template is a starting point you duplicate into your own Notion account and change as you like. Using it in your own work, personal or commercial, is what it is for. Reselling or redistributing the template itself is not, unless its listing says otherwise.

Links out are checked at the point they are added and not policed afterwards. What sits behind one is the responsibility of whoever runs it. A link is a pointer, not an endorsement, and it does not make their content part of this site.

Tell me about a link that has gone somewhere it should not, and it will be removed.

The site is offered as it is. It is not promised to be available continuously, to be free of errors, or to keep any particular page at any particular address forever. It may be changed, moved or taken down without notice.

Parts of it depend on services run by other people. When one of those is having a bad day, so is the corresponding part of this site.

Liability is unlimited for injury to life, body or health, for intent and gross negligence, and wherever German law makes it unlimited regardless of what a page like this says. None of that can be signed away and none of it is.

Beyond those, liability for ordinary negligence arises only from breach of an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper use of the site possible in the first place, and is limited to the loss that was foreseeable and typical for a website of this kind.

Nothing here limits your statutory rights as a consumer, in Germany or in Uganda.

The controller is established in Germany, so German law governs these terms and the use of this site, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If you are a consumer resident somewhere else, that choice does not take away the protection of mandatory law where you live. A consumer in Uganda keeps every right the Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 and Ugandan consumer law give them, whatever this section says.

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands.

These terms can change. The version in force is the one on this page when you use the site, dated at the top. Changes are not applied retrospectively to anything already agreed where applicable in writing.
