Legal
Terms
Baseline terms for using Rook & Ink public sites and contacting the practice.
Sites and previews
Public production hosts may serve an under-construction landing until cutover. Preview Workers are for review only and are not production commitments. Content may change without notice while the full site is in development.
Inquiries and engagements
Contacting Rook & Ink does not create a client relationship until both parties agree in writing. Project scope, fees, deliverables, and timelines are defined per engagement. Informal conversation is not a statement of work.
Intellectual property
Unless a written agreement says otherwise, Rook & Ink retains ownership of pre-existing tools, frameworks, templates, brand assets, and methods. Client-owned materials remain the client's. Work product ownership for a paid engagement is defined in that engagement's agreement. Do not copy site content, case framing, or brand marks for commercial use without permission.
No medical advice
Nothing on these sites is medical advice, nursing care, clinical diagnosis, treatment guidance, or licensed clinical education. Healthcare-adjacent portfolio items are product and craft examples. Do not rely on site content for clinical decisions.
Products
Product experiences (for example YBRP) may have their own rules, accounts, and data boundaries. Portfolio pages on the parent site explain products. Product hosts run them. Planned products are not live merely because a portfolio page exists.
Liability
Sites and previews are provided as-is. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Rook & Ink is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the sites, previews, or inquiry channels. Aggregate liability related to site use is limited to the greater of zero dollars paid for site access (the sites are free) or the amount required by non-waivable law.
Acceptable use
Do not use these sites to attempt unauthorized access, abuse forms, scrape in a way that harms service availability, or submit content involving exploitation, harassment, or unlawful activity.
Jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, pending a more specific state venue in a written engagement agreement. Venue and governing state may be specified per contract. This paragraph is a placeholder until a permanent venue is selected in counsel-reviewed terms.
