Projects and physical activity carry risks. Follow manufacturer instructions, local rules, and safety practices; use protective equipment; supervise children and animals; and seek qualified professionals for high-risk work or health questions.

Subject to any mandatory provisions, you agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of courts in Indonesia for disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the website.
Dispute Resolution
If you have a concern or dispute, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it informally and promptly. Most issues can be addressed through clarification or correction.
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, the parties may pursue remedies available under applicable law. Nothing in this section limits statutory consumer rights.
Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
No waiver of any term is a further or continuing waiver of that term or any other term, and any failure to enforce a right does not waive the right to enforce it later.
Translation
We may provide translations for convenience. If there is a conflict between a translated version and the English version, the English version will control.
Where required by local law, consumer protections available in the translated language remain unaffected by this clause.
