Terms
Terms of use
These terms cover use of this website. Any paid work is covered by a separate written agreement.
The short version
- This site shows our work and explains what we do. It's general information, not a promise of specific results.
- Client work is shown with permission. Pieces marked “concept” are the studio's own, not client commissions.
- Any actual work together happens under a separate written agreement.
- Please use the site and the contact form honestly, and don't copy our films or try to break the site.
- Hawaiʻi law applies.
1. Who we are and agreeing to these terms
This website, ferndripcreativestudios.com (the “site”), is run by Fern Drip Creative Studios LLC (“Fern Drip”, “we”, “us”). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
2. Information on the site is general
Everything on the site, including descriptions of services, examples and the way we work, is general information to help you understand what we do and whether we might be a fit.
- No guaranteed results. When we describe what a film or content plan can do for a business, those are goals or examples, not guarantees.
- Not professional advice. Nothing on the site is legal, tax, accounting, financial or marketing advice for your situation.
- Things change. We may update, change or remove services, content or features at any time. We try to keep information accurate, but don't promise it's always complete or current.
3. The work we show
Client work on the site is shown with the client's permission. Pieces labeled “concept” are studio work made to show a style or an idea; they aren't client commissions or results.
4. Services and pricing
The site describes our services in general terms. Scope, timing, price, usage rights, delivery and every other detail of paid work are set out in a written proposal or agreement for each project. Nothing on the site is an offer you can accept to form a contract. Prices are quoted per project, once the scope is clear.
5. Contact form and communications
- Please give accurate information, and only information you're allowed to share.
- Don't send passwords, payment or bank information, government ID numbers or health information.
- Sending an inquiry doesn't create a client relationship or any obligation on either side.
- How we handle your information is explained in our privacy policy.
6. Acceptable use
Please don't:
- use the site for anything illegal, or to harm, harass or impersonate anyone;
- send spam, automated or bulk submissions, or misleading inquiries through the form;
- try to break, overload, probe or get around the site's security, or get unauthorized access to any system;
- download, re-upload or republish our films, photos or other content, scrape the site in bulk, or use it to train AI models, without our written permission;
- upload or send malware or other harmful code.
We may block access or ignore submissions that break these rules.
7. Our content and brand
The site's films, photos, text, design and code belong to us, our clients or our collaborators, and are protected by intellectual property laws. Client work appears with permission and stays the property its agreement says. The Fern Drip name and logo are our brand.
You're welcome to view the site and share links to it. You may not copy, resell or republish our content or code, or use our brand in a way that suggests we endorse you, without written permission.
8. Third-party links
The site links to other websites, such as Instagram, YouTube and Orkestr8er. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content, terms or privacy practices.
9. Disclaimer
The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, about the site, including that it will always be available, error-free, secure or fit for a particular purpose. This doesn't limit any promises we make in a separate written agreement for paid work.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site. Our total liability for any claim related to the site is limited to US $100. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that can't legally be limited.
11. Indemnity
If you misuse the site or break these terms, and that causes a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaiʻi and applicable US federal law. Before filing any claim, we both agree to try to resolve the issue informally, by contacting the other in writing and allowing 30 days to work it out. If that doesn't work, any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Hawaiʻi.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows the current version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
14. General
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce something right away, we haven't given up the right to enforce it later. These terms, together with the privacy policy, are the full agreement about use of the site. Paid work is covered by its own agreement.
