These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Headliner Studios.

If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using our services and must discontinue use immediately. Your continued use of our services following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

These Terms apply to all visitors, clients, and others who access or use our services, whether in person, via our website at headliner.studio, or through any other communication channel including but not limited to email, social media, phone, or third-party platforms.

Headliner Studios provides personal brand management, social media growth strategy, content direction, photoshoot coordination, marketing consultation, networking facilitation, and related brand-building services (collectively, "Services"). The specific scope of Services provided to any individual client will be outlined in a separate service agreement, proposal, or written communication between Headliner Studios and that client.

Services may include, but are not limited to: Instagram and social media account growth strategy, post promotion and advertising coordination, photo and content process guidance, photoshoot direction, local presence and recognition building, connection and networking strategy, and AI-assisted brand planning and execution.

Headliner Studios reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of its Services at any time without prior notice. We are not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of Services.

The Services provided by Headliner Studios are advisory and strategic in nature. Headliner Studios does not operate, own, or control any social media platform, advertising network, or other third-party service used in the delivery of its Services. All actions taken on third-party platforms are subject to those platforms' terms of service and policies.

HEADLINER STUDIOS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND REGARDING SPECIFIC OUTCOMES, RESULTS, OR PERFORMANCE FROM THE USE OF ITS SERVICES.

Without limiting the foregoing, Headliner Studios does not guarantee any specific: follower counts or growth rates; engagement rates, likes, shares, comments, or reach; revenue, income, or financial returns; brand partnership opportunities or deals; local or regional recognition or fame; media coverage or press mentions; return on advertising spend; audience quality or demographics; or any other quantifiable or qualitative outcome.

Social media algorithms, platform policies, audience behavior, market conditions, and numerous other external factors beyond the control of Headliner Studios materially affect the outcomes of any brand-building or marketing effort. These factors are inherently unpredictable and subject to change without notice.

Any case studies, testimonials, projections, examples, or illustrations of results presented by Headliner Studios are examples of past performance by specific clients under specific circumstances and are not representations of typical, expected, or guaranteed outcomes. Past performance does not predict or guarantee future results. Individual results will vary significantly based on factors including but not limited to: the client's existing audience, content quality, niche, geographic location, posting frequency, personal engagement, budget, and adherence to recommended strategies.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that you are assuming all risk associated with the use of our Services and that any investment of time, money, or resources made in connection with our Services may not yield any particular result.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HEADLINER STUDIOS, ITS FOUNDER, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

(a) Loss of profits, revenue, or anticipated savings; (b) Loss of business, contracts, or business opportunities; (c) Loss of goodwill, reputation, or brand value; (d) Loss of data or content; (e) Cost of substitute services or goods; (f) Personal injury or property damage of any nature; (g) Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (h) Any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from our services; (i) Any bugs, viruses, or other harmful code transmitted through our services by any third party; (j) Any errors or omissions in any content or any loss or damage incurred as a result of your use of any content posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available through our services; or (k) Any other matter relating to the services.

These limitations apply whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, and even if Headliner Studios has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

IN NO EVENT SHALL HEADLINER STUDIOS' TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (i) THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO HEADLINER STUDIOS IN THE THREE (3) CALENDAR MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (ii) ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100.00).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN THEIR ENTIRETY. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, HEADLINER STUDIOS' LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

You acknowledge that these limitations reflect a fair allocation of risk and that Headliner Studios would not have entered into this agreement without these limitations.

ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY HEADLINER STUDIOS ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Headliner Studios or through our services shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

Headliner Studios does not warrant or make any representations regarding the results that may be obtained from the use of the Services, the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the Services, or that the Services will meet any particular standard of quality or performance.

Headliner Studios provides strategy, guidance, and coordination related to social media platforms including but not limited to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others. Headliner Studios is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to any social media platform.

All social media platforms operate independently and subject to their own terms of service, community guidelines, algorithm changes, and policies, all of which are outside the control of Headliner Studios. Social media platforms may at any time and without notice: change their algorithms in ways that affect reach and growth; suspend, restrict, or permanently ban accounts for violations of their policies; change their advertising policies or pricing; modify or discontinue features; or become unavailable.

Headliner Studios is not responsible for and shall have no liability for: any account suspension, restriction, or ban imposed by any social media platform; any content removed by a social media platform; any changes to platform algorithms that affect your account's reach or growth; any advertising account suspensions or restrictions; any platform outages or service interruptions; or any other action taken by any social media platform with respect to your account.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your content and account activity complies with the terms of service and community guidelines of all social media platforms on which you operate. Headliner Studios does not assume responsibility for any violations of platform policies that may occur in connection with the Services.

Headliner Studios does not knowingly sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their independent marketing or commercial purposes.

However, in the ordinary course of providing our Services, we may use, engage with, or share data with third-party service providers, tools, and platforms, including but not limited to: social media advertising platforms (such as Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads); artificial intelligence and machine learning tools used for brand strategy, content planning, and market analysis; analytics and performance tracking platforms; email and communication services; photo editing and content production software; cloud storage and file sharing services; payment processing services; and scheduling and project management tools.

These third parties may collect, process, store, or use certain data about you or your brand in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms of service, which may differ from those of Headliner Studios. By using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to the use of such third-party services as necessary for the delivery of our Services.

We use AI-powered tools strategically to assist with brand planning, market research, content strategy, and competitive analysis. We do not use AI to generate fake personas, fabricate social proof, or produce deceptive content. All content produced with AI assistance is reviewed and applied with genuine strategic intent.

You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party services that may be engaged in connection with your Services. Headliner Studios is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or data handling of any third party.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Headliner Studios and its founder, officers, employees, contractors, agents, partners, suppliers, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:

(a) Your use of or inability to use the Services; (b) Your violation of any of these Terms; (c) Your violation of any third-party rights, including without limitation any intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or rights of publicity; (d) Any content you provide, publish, or make available in connection with the Services; (e) Your violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation; (f) Any misrepresentation made by you; or (g) Any claim by a third party relating to your brand, content, or social media activity.

This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Services.

Unless otherwise agreed in a separate written agreement, the following intellectual property terms apply:

CLIENT-OWNED CONTENT: Content created by Headliner Studios specifically for and on behalf of a client — including original copy, creative direction, and strategy documents — becomes the property of that client upon receipt of full payment for the applicable deliverable.

HEADLINER STUDIOS MATERIALS: All pre-existing intellectual property of Headliner Studios, including methodologies, frameworks, templates, tools, systems, processes, and proprietary strategies, remains the exclusive property of Headliner Studios. No license to any such intellectual property is granted except as strictly necessary for you to receive the benefit of the Services.

PORTFOLIO RIGHTS: Headliner Studios retains the right to reference, describe, and display work performed for clients in its portfolio, case studies, website, and marketing materials, unless the client has explicitly requested otherwise in writing prior to the commencement of Services. Any such opt-out request must be made in writing and confirmed by Headliner Studios.

THIRD-PARTY CONTENT: You represent and warrant that any content you provide to Headliner Studios for use in connection with the Services does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. You are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses, permissions, and rights for any content you provide.

Payment terms for Services are as specified in the individual service agreement or invoice provided to each client. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all fees are due as specified in the applicable service agreement.

REFUNDS: Due to the nature of the Services — which involve the immediate allocation of time, resources, strategy, and labor — all payments made to Headliner Studios are generally non-refundable. Headliner Studios does not offer refunds based on dissatisfaction with results, given the inherent unpredictability of marketing outcomes as described in these Terms. Any exceptions to this policy must be agreed to in writing by Headliner Studios prior to the commencement of Services.

LATE PAYMENTS: Accounts that are past due may result in the suspension of Services until the outstanding balance is paid in full. Headliner Studios reserves the right to charge interest on past-due balances at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.

CHARGEBACKS: You agree not to initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your financial institution without first contacting Headliner Studios directly to attempt resolution. Unauthorized chargebacks may result in immediate termination of Services and may be disputed by Headliner Studios.

Both parties may have access to confidential information belonging to the other in connection with the Services. Each party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the other party's confidential information and not to disclose such information to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, except as required by law.

Headliner Studios may use aggregated, anonymized information about client results and strategies for internal analysis, product improvement, and marketing purposes, provided that such information does not identify any individual client.

This confidentiality obligation shall survive the termination of the service relationship for a period of two (2) years.

Either party may terminate the service engagement in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in the applicable service agreement. In the absence of a specific written agreement, either party may terminate by providing thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party.

TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: Headliner Studios reserves the right to terminate the service relationship immediately and without prior notice if: you fail to pay any amounts due and do not cure such failure within five (5) business days of notice; you materially breach any of these Terms; you engage in conduct that Headliner Studios reasonably determines to be harmful, unlawful, or damaging to the reputation or operations of Headliner Studios; or you provide false or misleading information in connection with the Services.

EFFECT OF TERMINATION: Upon termination, any outstanding fees for Services rendered become immediately due and payable. Headliner Studios is not obligated to refund any pre-paid fees for Services not yet rendered, except at its sole discretion. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

INFORMAL RESOLUTION: Before initiating any formal dispute, both parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting the other party in writing. Informal resolution shall be attempted for a minimum of thirty (30) days before either party may pursue other remedies.

BINDING ARBITRATION: If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, both parties agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered in Santa Clara County, California, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class action, collective action, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

EXCEPTIONS: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.

These Terms of Service and any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provisions. To the extent that any dispute is not subject to mandatory arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Headliner Studios shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms if such delay or failure results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics or public health emergencies, government actions or regulations, war or terrorism, social media platform outages or policy changes, internet or communications infrastructure failures, or any other event beyond the reasonable control of Headliner Studios.

In such circumstances, Headliner Studios will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.

These Terms, together with any applicable service agreement, proposal, or written agreement between you and Headliner Studios, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired in any way, and such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

The failure of Headliner Studios to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.

Headliner Studios reserves the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms of Service at any time at its sole discretion. When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.

It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of or access to our Services following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must immediately cease using the Services and notify Headliner Studios in writing.
