Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of these terms

Welcome to Little Red Apple Productions (“LRAP,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at littleredappleproductions.com and any related pages, content, forms, and services we make available through it (together, the “Site”).

By using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. Use of the site

You may use the Site for lawful, personal, and non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Infringe the intellectual property or other rights of LRAP or any third party.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute any content that is unlawful, harmful, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our servers, or any accounts or systems connected to the Site.
• Interfere with the operation of the Site, including by introducing viruses, malware, or by overloading or disrupting our servers (for example, through automated scraping or denial-of-service attempts).
• Use any AI tool or scraper to extract content from the Site for the training of machine-learning systems without our prior written permission.

3. Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including text, articles, stories, characters, world-building, screenplays, illustrations, photographs, video, audio, logos, design elements, and code — is owned by Little Red Apple Productions or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

“Little Red Apple Productions,” “LRAP,” and the names of our projects (including “Flicker,” “Polaris,” “Nightingale,” “House K’Athar,” and “Menagerie”), along with their associated characters, settings, and visual identities, are our intellectual property.

You may view, download, and print content from the Site for your personal, non-commercial use, provided you keep all copyright and other proprietary notices intact. Except as described above, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, perform, display, license, sell, or create derivative works from any content on the Site without our prior written permission.

If you wish to license, quote at length, or otherwise reuse our content, please contact us first.

4. User submissions and messages

The Site offers ways to contact us — for example, the contact form, newsletter sign-ups, tool access requests, crowdfunding pledges, and shop or events inquiries. Anything you send us through those forms or by email is treated as a “User Submission.”

By sending us a User Submission, you confirm that:

• It is accurate and not misleading.
• You own or have the right to share it.
• It does not violate the rights of any other person or any applicable law.

You retain ownership of your User Submissions. However, you grant LRAP a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to read, store, and use the submission for the purpose of responding to you and operating the Site. We will not publish identifiable feedback or fan messages publicly without your permission.

Please do not send us confidential information, unsolicited creative pitches, manuscripts, scripts, or story ideas. Any unsolicited creative submission you send us is at your own risk, and we are not obligated to treat it as confidential.

5. Blog and creative content

Our updates and blog content (including articles published through our content platform, Sanity) reflect the views and creative choices of LRAP at the time of publication. Stories, characters, and worlds described on the Site are fictional. Any resemblance to real people, places, or events is coincidental unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Where we publish content created with the assistance of AI tools, we aim to disclose that fact in line with our editorial values of transparency and human oversight.

6. Links and third-party services

The Site contains links to third-party websites and services, including YouTube, social media platforms, our content platform (Sanity), and third-party payment, crowdfunding, or commerce providers. These third parties are independent of LRAP. We are not responsible for their content, products, services, terms, or privacy practices.

Your use of any third-party service is governed by that third party’s own terms and policies. We encourage you to review them carefully.

7. No professional advice

Content on the Site is provided for general informational and creative purposes only. It is not legal, financial, medical, technical, or other professional advice. You should consult a qualified professional before relying on any information from the Site for important decisions.

8. Availability and changes

We make reasonable efforts to keep the Site available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Site may be unavailable from time to time for maintenance, updates, technical issues, or reasons beyond our control. We may also add, remove, or change features, pages, or projects at any time without notice.

9. Disclaimers

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components, or that any content is accurate, complete, current, or reliable.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall Little Red Apple Productions, its owner, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Site will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Little Red Apple Productions, its owner, contributors, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your User Submissions, or your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.

12. Governing law

These Terms and your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. To the extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in or serving Pulaski County, Virginia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the changes, please stop using the Site.
