Terms of Use

The tutorials are free and you're welcome to use what you learn commercially. These are the boundaries around that.

Last updated 25 August 2026 Netherlands · GDPR

Everything on this site is free to learn from and free to use in your own work, including work you get paid for. I'm not going to make that complicated.

What follows covers the edges: what you can't do, what I don't promise, and what happens if a tutorial doesn't work out the way you hoped.

Using this site

By using Ferdy.com you accept these terms. If you don't, the site is easy to close and no hard feelings.

The site is operated by Ferdy B.V., KvK KvK number, in the Netherlands.

What you may do with the content

Generously interpreted, this is the deal:

  • Learn from it, free, forever. No signup, no paywall, no expiry.
  • Build commercial work with it. Use these techniques for client sites, your own business, anything you like. You owe me nothing and you don't need permission.
  • Teach it to your team. Share the links internally as much as you want.
  • Quote and link. Short excerpts with a credit and a link back are fine and appreciated.

You don't need to ask

I get emails asking permission to use a technique from a tutorial on a paid client project. The answer is always yes. That's the entire point of publishing them.

What you may not do

  • Re-upload the videos, or substantial parts of them, to another platform as your own.
  • Sell the tutorials, or package them into a paid course, without written permission.
  • Republish written content wholesale — a full article copied onto your blog is not a quote.
  • Strip the branding and present the material as your own work.
  • Scrape the site at a volume that degrades it for other people.
  • Use the content to train a commercial AI model without written permission.

The content on this site — text, video, images, diagrams and code samples — remains my copyright unless stated otherwise. The permissions above are a licence to use it, not a transfer of ownership.

Code samples

Code shown in tutorials is yours to use in any project, commercial or otherwise, without attribution. It's provided as teaching material: it prioritises being understandable over being production-hardened. Read it before you ship it.

Accuracy and the shelf life of tutorials

WordPress, Elementor and every AI tool in these builds update constantly. A tutorial that was exact on the day it was published may not match your screen a year later. I re-record the important ones when they drift too far, but I can't keep 500 tutorials permanently current.

Content is provided as-is. I don't guarantee that following a tutorial produces a particular result, that your site will rank, that it will earn money, or that a plugin will behave identically on your setup.

Back up before you follow along

Several tutorials involve changing hosting, editing databases, or installing plugins on a live site. Take a full backup first and test on a staging copy where you can. I can't recover a site that broke while following a video.

Links to other sites

Tutorials link to hosts, plugins, tools and documentation. I don't control those sites and I'm not responsible for their content, their pricing changes, or their privacy practices. Some of those links are affiliate links — see the affiliate disclosure for exactly how that works.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Dutch law, I'm not liable for loss or damage arising from use of this site or its content — including lost data, lost revenue, downtime, or a site that broke while you were following along.

Nothing here limits liability for damage caused by intent or deliberate recklessness, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law. If you're a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

The newsletter

One email a week, roughly. You can leave at any time using the link at the bottom of every issue, and I won't email you again about anything else. I don't sell or share the list.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes go to the competent court in district, the Netherlands, unless mandatory consumer rules give you the right to a different court.

Changes

I may update these terms. The date at the top shows the last revision, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the current version.
