Terms of Use – Wiweck

Last Updated: February 9, 2026

Welcome to Wiweck. This Website is owned and operated by Vivek K. Singh (“I,” “me,” or “my”). By accessing or using wiweck.com (the “Website”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don’t agree, please don’t use this Website.

1. About This Website

Wiweck is my personal professional blog and portfolio where I share knowledge, insights, and analysis about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics, sustainability, supply chain management, and related business practices.

My goal is to educate and inform, provide professional perspectives and analysis, encourage further research and critical thinking, and promote thoughtful discussion of important topics.

This is a personal Website where I express my professional views based on my experience and research. However, this is general educational content—not personalized professional advice for your specific situation.

2. Your Rights to Use This Website

What You Can Do

You’re welcome to read articles for personal or professional learning, share links to articles on social media with proper attribution, quote brief excerpts (up to 150 words) with clear citation and link back to the source, and use the contact forms, comment features, and newsletter subscription.

When citing my content, please use: “Source: [Article Title], Vivek K. Singh, Wiweck.com, [URL]”

What You Cannot Do

You may not reproduce or republish substantial portions of content without my written permission, use content for commercial purposes without authorization, remove copyright notices or attribution, scrape or automatically collect content using bots or automated tools, create derivative works without permission, or claim my content as your own.

Content Ownership

All content on this Website—including articles, blog posts, images, graphics, analysis, research, and design elements—is owned by me unless otherwise stated and is protected by copyright law. Some content may include third-party materials (like embedded videos or cited sources), which remain the property of their respective owners.

3. Use of Artificial Intelligence

How I Use AI

I use artificial intelligence tools to assist with various aspects of content creation, including writing assistance and content generation, research and information gathering, editing and proofreading, data analysis and synthesis, content optimization, image creation or editing, and data visualization.

AI is a powerful tool that helps me work more efficiently and explore topics more thoroughly. However, it’s just a tool—the final content reflects my judgment, expertise, and perspective.

AI Limitations You Should Understand

AI technology has real limitations. AI may generate factually incorrect information that sounds plausible, include outdated information (AI training data has cutoff dates), reflect biases present in training data, misinterpret context, nuance, or specialized terminology, provide incomplete or superficial analysis, produce “hallucinations” (completely false information that sounds authoritative), and lack human judgment, professional discretion, and real-world experience.

What I Do About It

I review and edit all AI-generated content before publishing, apply my professional judgment and expertise to verify information, correct errors I catch, and add context and nuance that AI might miss. However, I’m human, and despite my best efforts, some AI-generated errors or limitations may slip through.

Your Responsibility

You must verify important information independently before relying on it for decisions, not use content from this Website as your sole source for critical matters, understand that AI assistance means some limitations may exist, seek professional advice appropriate to your circumstances, and exercise your own judgment and critical thinking.

4. This Is Not Professional Advice

This is the most important section—please read carefully.

Nothing on this Website constitutes professional advice of any kind. I’m sharing general information, analysis, and perspectives based on my experience and research. This content is not tailored to your specific circumstances.

Not Legal Advice

Content about regulations, compliance, or legal matters is general information only. It’s not legal advice, and reading this Website doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship. Laws vary by location and change frequently. Always consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction for legal matters.

Not Financial or Investment Advice

I don’t provide investment advice or recommendations to buy, sell, or hold securities or other investments. Any discussion of financial topics, companies, or markets is educational only. Past performance never guarantees future results. All investments carry risk, including possible loss of your entire investment.

Investment suitability depends on your individual financial situation, goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. Before making any financial or investment decisions, consult licensed financial advisors, certified financial planners, and tax advisors who understand your personal circumstances.

Not Consulting Services

Reading articles here isn’t the same as hiring me for consulting. Professional consulting requires understanding your specific situation, analyzing your unique challenges, and developing tailored solutions—that requires a separate written agreement.

No consultant-client relationship exists between us just because you read my articles. If you want to engage me for consulting services, please contact me and we’ll formalize a separate written agreement with specific terms, scope, and fees. I’m under no obligation to provide consulting services to anyone.

Not Regulatory or Compliance Advice

Information about ESG frameworks, sustainability standards, and regulations (including BRSR, CSRD, CSDDD, ESRS, and similar) represents general guidance and my analysis—not official regulatory interpretation or compliance certification.

These regulations are complex, jurisdiction-specific, constantly evolving, and depend heavily on your specific circumstances. I’m not a regulator, and my interpretations aren’t official positions.

Consult qualified professionals including specialized legal counsel, certified sustainability professionals, compliance specialists with relevant expertise, and independent auditors and verifiers.

5. ESG and Sustainability Disclaimers

What I Provide

I write about ESG topics, sustainability practices, supply chain management, carbon accounting, climate risk, and related issues based on my professional experience and research. This is general educational content and analysis.

What I Don’t Provide

I don’t provide ESG ratings, scores, or rankings, sustainability certifications or verifications, compliance audits or assessments, official regulatory approvals or interpretations, certified carbon accounting or emissions verification, climate risk assessments or science-based target validation, or binding guidance for your specific situation.

Supply Chain and Compliance Topics

Content about supply chain due diligence, supplier compliance, and related topics provides general guidance based on common practices and my experience. It’s not tailored to your specific supply chain, products, suppliers, geographic risks, or applicable regulations.

Supply chains are incredibly complex and vary enormously by industry, geography, product categories, and company size. Generic guidance may not apply to your situation. Consult professionals who understand your specific industry, supply chain structure, and compliance requirements.

Scope 3 Emissions and Carbon Accounting

Content about Scope 3 emissions, carbon accounting, decarbonization, and climate topics is educational only. Carbon accounting methodologies are complex, still evolving, and subject to different standards and interpretations.

For your organization’s emissions calculations, carbon accounting, and climate reporting, work with qualified professionals who specialize in carbon accounting and can apply appropriate methodologies to your specific circumstances.

International Regulations

When I discuss regulations in different jurisdictions (EU, India, US, and others), I’m providing general overviews and analysis—not jurisdiction-specific legal advice or official regulatory interpretations. Regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction and change constantly.

For compliance with specific jurisdictions’ regulations, consult legal counsel and compliance professionals licensed and experienced in those jurisdictions.

Industry-Specific Content

When I use industry-specific examples (textiles, manufacturing, automotive, pharmaceuticals, etc.), they’re meant to illustrate concepts—not to provide industry-specific consulting or advice. Each industry has unique characteristics, regulations, supply chains, and challenges. What applies in one sector may not apply in another. Seek expertise specific to your industry.

6. These Are My Personal Views

The opinions and views expressed on this Website are mine unless I specifically state otherwise. When I analyze topics, interpret regulations, recommend approaches, or critique practices, I’m expressing my professional opinion based on my experience and judgment. Others may reasonably disagree.

My views don’t represent official positions of any organization, regulatory body, or other entity. They’re my personal professional opinions, which may change as I learn more or circumstances evolve.

When I mention companies, products, services, frameworks, methodologies, or tools, that’s not necessarily an endorsement or recommendation. I might be discussing them for educational purposes, using them as examples, or analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.

7. Accuracy and Completeness

My Commitment

I strive for accuracy in everything I publish. I review content carefully, verify information when possible, and apply my professional expertise and judgment.

No Guarantees

However, I make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of anything on this Website. Mistakes happen. Information becomes outdated. Interpretations differ. Despite my best efforts and multiple reviews, errors can slip through.

Information Becomes Outdated

ESG regulations change. Sustainability standards evolve. Best practices develop. Research produces new findings. Market conditions shift. What was accurate when I wrote it may no longer be current when you read it.

I’m not obligated to update old articles when things change, and often I won’t. The “Last Updated” date on my Privacy Policy and Terms of Use refers to these legal documents—not to blog articles. Always verify whether you’re reading current information and check the publication date of articles.

Errors and Omissions

If you find an error, I appreciate you letting me know at vivek@wiweck.com so I can evaluate and potentially correct it.

8. User Conduct

When using this Website, you agree not to use it for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Website, interfere with or disrupt the Website’s operation or security, upload viruses, malware, or harmful code, impersonate anyone or misrepresent your affiliation, harass, abuse, or harm other users, collect personal information about other users without permission, or use the Website to send spam or unsolicited commercial messages.

Violation of these rules may result in termination of your access to the Website and potential legal action.

Affiliate Relationships

Some articles may contain affiliate links to products, services, or resources I think may be valuable. If you purchase through an affiliate link, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

This doesn’t affect the price you pay, influence my editorial content or opinions, constitute an endorsement or guarantee of quality, or create any liability for the products or services you purchase.

I only include affiliate links when I genuinely believe the resource may be useful to my audience.

Third-Party Responsibility

I’m not responsible for the quality, accuracy, reliability, performance, or practices of any third-party products, services, or companies mentioned on this Website, whether through affiliate links, sponsorships, or otherwise.

When you interact with embedded content, the hosting platform may collect information about you.

Third-Party Sources

My articles often reference or cite research, data, experts, or other sources. When I cite third-party sources, I’m providing that information for context or support—I don’t necessarily endorse those sources or verify every fact they contain. Third-party sources have their own limitations, biases, and potential errors.

13. No Warranties

I provide this Website and all its content on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

I don’t warrant that the Website will be available at all times, function without errors or interruption, be secure or free from viruses or harmful components, contain accurate, complete, or current information, meet your specific requirements or expectations, or that defects will be corrected.
