These Terms of Service govern your use of creativecotiere.com and its content. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms.
If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue your use of the website.
1. About Creative Côtière
This website is operated by:
Creative Côtière
Grenada
Email: hello@creativecotiere.com
Website: https://creativecotiere.com
Creative Côtière provides publishing, author-development and creative-strategy services for writers and creators.
In these terms, “Creative Côtière,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Creative Côtière.
2. Website Purpose
This website provides general information about Creative Côtière, our services, publications, resources and related activities.
Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It is not a substitute for legal, financial, publishing, literary-agent, tax or other specialised professional advice.
You are responsible for evaluating whether any information, resource or service is appropriate for your circumstances.
3. No Professional Relationship Created
Visiting this website, subscribing to a newsletter, downloading a resource, submitting an inquiry or participating in an introductory conversation does not create an editor-client, publisher-author, consultant-client, agency, partnership or other professional relationship.
A professional engagement begins only when the relevant parties enter into a separate written agreement.
That agreement may contain additional provisions concerning scope, deliverables, fees, timelines, confidentiality, intellectual property, cancellations and other matters. Where a separate written agreement conflicts with these website terms, the written agreement will govern the professional engagement.
4. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the content available on this website—including text, articles, graphics, branding, logos, downloads, frameworks, guides, page designs and original resources—is owned by or licensed to Creative Côtière and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may access and use publicly available website content for personal, non-commercial and informational purposes.
You may not, without prior written permission:
- Reproduce, republish or distribute substantial portions of the website
- Sell, license or commercially exploit website content
- Present our content, frameworks or resources as your own
- Remove copyright, attribution or ownership notices
- Modify or create derivative commercial products from our materials
- Use automated systems to scrape, harvest or systematically extract website content
- Use our original content or resources to train artificial-intelligence systems or datasets
Brief quotations may be used for commentary, review or reference where legally permitted and where appropriate credit and a link to the original source are provided.
Third-party content remains the property of its respective owner.
5. Manuscripts, Projects and Inquiry Materials
You retain ownership of manuscripts, excerpts, proposals, ideas and other original material that you submit to us.
Submitting material through an inquiry does not transfer copyright or ownership to Creative Côtière. You grant us only the limited permission reasonably necessary to review the material, respond to your inquiry and determine whether we may be able to assist you.
Please do not send complete manuscripts, confidential material or commercially sensitive information through the general website form unless we have specifically requested it.
Submission of an idea, manuscript or project does not guarantee acceptance, feedback, publication, representation or an offer of services.
Because writers may independently develop similar themes, concepts or projects, the submission of an idea does not prevent Creative Côtière or its clients from working on other material involving similar general subjects, themes or concepts.
A confidentiality obligation arises only where it is expressly established in writing.
6. Services, Fees and Payments
Descriptions of services on this website are general and may be changed, refined or withdrawn at any time.
The scope, timing, fees and conditions attached to a particular engagement will be confirmed separately in writing.
Unless expressly stated in a written agreement:
- Website descriptions do not constitute a binding offer
- Fees are not confirmed until provided in a proposal, invoice or agreement
- Work does not begin until the required agreement, information and payment have been received
- Additional work outside the agreed scope may require additional fees and time
- Cancellation, postponement and refund conditions will be governed by the applicable written agreement
7. No Guarantee of Results
Creative and publishing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control.
We do not guarantee:
- Acceptance by a publisher, agent, editor, competition or media outlet
- Publication, representation or distribution
- Book sales, income or commercial success
- Audience growth, visibility or media coverage
- Reviews, awards or other recognition
- Completion of a manuscript within a particular period
- Any particular personal, professional or creative outcome
Any examples, observations or testimonials presented on the website are illustrative and do not guarantee that another person will achieve the same result.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use this website:
- For unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purposes
- To submit false, misleading, abusive or defamatory material
- To infringe another person’s privacy, copyright or other rights
- To distribute malware, spam or harmful code
- To interfere with the website’s operation or security
- To attempt unauthorised access to the website, its administration area or related systems
- To impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity
- To collect information about other users without permission
We may restrict or block access where we reasonably believe the website is being misused.
9. Accuracy and Availability
We aim to keep website information useful and current, but we do not warrant that all content will always be complete, current or free from error.
We may update, remove or change website content, services and features without notice.
We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from technical problems.
10. External Links and Services
This website may link to or incorporate content from external websites and services, including newsletter platforms, social-media platforms, video services and other third-party resources.
External websites are governed by their own terms, policies and practices.
Creative Côtière does not control and is not responsible for the availability, security, accuracy, content or practices of third-party services.
A link to an external website does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.
11. Disclaimer
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this website and its publicly available content are provided on an “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
We do not warrant that the website or its content will meet every user’s requirements or that access will always be uninterrupted, error-free or secure.
Nothing in these terms excludes any right or responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Creative Côtière will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, consequential or special loss arising from or connected with:
- Your use of or inability to use the website
- Reliance on general website content
- The actions or services of third parties
- Unauthorised access to or alteration of information
- Technical interruptions, security incidents or loss of data outside our reasonable control
You remain responsible for maintaining appropriate copies and backups of your manuscripts, project files and other original material.
Any liability connected with a paid professional engagement will be governed by the separate written agreement for that engagement.
13. Privacy
Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service to reflect changes to the website, our services, technology or applicable requirements.
The revised terms will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
Your continued use of the website after revised terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
15. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Grenada.
Subject to any rights or procedures that cannot lawfully be excluded, disputes arising from these terms or the use of this website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Grenada.
16. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
