Terms of Service

Effective date: 5 July 2026

Use of this website

Silicon Steps publishes articles, research and resources about automotive technology, supply chain, compliance and related topics. The content is provided for general information only. While I aim for accuracy and update material when regulations or products change, standards and market conditions move — always verify current requirements with the relevant authority or manufacturer before acting.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial or certification advice. Compliance obligations depend on your specific product, market and circumstances. Consulting engagements are governed by their own written agreements, not by these terms.

Unless stated otherwise, all content on this site is © Winston Deng. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link. Republishing full articles, resources or research data without written permission is not allowed.

External links

Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience. I don’t control their content and am not responsible for it.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I accept no liability for losses arising from reliance on the content of this site. These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand.
