Legal
Terms of Use
The terms that apply when you use this website, written to be read rather than to be impressive.
A note on this document. The text below is a general website policy framework prepared for a small privately owned corporate site. It is not legal advice, and it has not been reviewed by counsel. Qualified legal counsel should review and adapt it, taking account of the jurisdictions and obligations that apply, before it is treated as final published policy.
These terms apply to your use of this website, which is operated by Oceanic Pacific Management, LLC ("OPM", "we"). By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
The site is informational
This website exists to provide information about OPM, the initiatives we are developing, and how we work. It is not a transactional site. No products or services are sold here, and nothing on this site is an offer to sell, a binding commitment, or a contract. Descriptions of initiatives in development describe present intentions, which may change.
Acceptable use
You are welcome to read, share, and link to this site. Please do not use it in ways that interfere with its operation or with other people's use of it. That includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to any system, interfering with security features, introducing malicious code, scraping at a volume that degrades service, using the site to send unlawful or abusive material, or misrepresenting your identity in a way intended to deceive.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the content of this site, including text, layout, design, graphics, and code, belongs to Oceanic Pacific Management, LLC or is used with permission. "Oceanic Pacific Management" and "Harbor Light Emporium" are names we use to identify our company and our initiative.
You may read this material, quote briefly from it with attribution and a link, and share links to it. Please do not republish substantial portions, present our material as your own, or use our names or branding in a way that suggests an association or endorsement that does not exist. If you would like to use something more extensively, ask us.
We respect the intellectual property of others and expect the same in return. If you believe material on this site infringes your rights, please contact us with enough detail to identify it and we will review the matter promptly.
No professional advice
The articles and other material on this site describe how we think about building and operating digital work. They are general commentary based on our own practice, not professional advice. Nothing here is legal, financial, tax, accounting, or other professional advice, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances. Decisions you make after reading this site are your own.
Accuracy and updates
We take care to be accurate and we correct errors when we find them or when they are reported. Even so, content may become outdated, and we do not warrant that everything on the site is complete, current, or free of error. We may change, add to, or remove content at any time without notice, including descriptions of initiatives whose status has changed.
External links
This site may link to websites operated by others. We include such links where they are useful, but we do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, or practices. A link is not an endorsement. Following an external link is at your own discretion.
Availability, disclaimers, and limitations
This site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, and we may suspend or discontinue any part of it. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim implied warranties, including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, OPM will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or business, arising out of your use of this site or your reliance on its content. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and nothing here is intended to limit rights that cannot lawfully be limited.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms as the site develops. The effective date above will be updated when we do, and continued use of the site after a revision means you accept the revised terms. We will not make changes retroactive in a way that disadvantages you for something you have already done.
Contact
Questions about these terms can be directed through the contact page, where verified contact details will be published as soon as they are available.
