The short version
This is our website. You're welcome here. Don't misuse it. Everything on it belongs to us unless stated otherwise. If we work together professionally, that'll be covered by a separate agreement, not these terms.
What this covers
These terms apply to your use of indigenwest.com (the "site"). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, that's fine, but please don't use the site.
Who we are
Indigen West LLC is a California limited liability company. We do strategic consulting, revenue architecture, and creative production for businesses. This site tells you about that work and gives you a way to reach us.
Using this site
Use the site for what it's meant for: learning about our work, reading our essays, and getting in touch if you'd like to talk.
Please don't:
- Break anything or try to access systems you shouldn't
- Harvest content with bots
- Copy substantial portions of our content without asking
- Use the site for anything illegal
Our content
Everything on this site, the writing, the design, the code, the photography (unless stated otherwise), the logo, the overall feel, belongs to Indigen West LLC.
You're welcome to share links to any page. You can quote short passages from our essays if you credit us and link back. If you want to reproduce anything beyond that, ask us first at info@indigenwest.com.
Essays and published writing
We publish essays and commentary on this site. These reflect our thinking and perspective at the time of writing. They're meant to be useful, but they're not professional advice. Don't make business, legal, or financial decisions based solely on something you read here. If you need that kind of guidance, hire someone qualified, possibly us, but not through an essay.
We may update, revise, or remove published content at any time.
Getting in touch
Submitting our contact form doesn't create a professional relationship between us. It means you've sent us a message and we'll do our best to respond. Any actual working relationship starts with a separate, signed agreement.
Links to other sites
We occasionally link to other websites. Those sites have their own policies and terms, and we're not responsible for what happens there.
Liability
We do our best to keep this site accurate and running smoothly, but we provide it "as is." We can't guarantee it will always be available, error-free, or up to date.
To the extent the law allows: we're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages related to your use of this site. If we are liable for anything, it's capped at $100. We know that sounds like standard legal language. It is. It's here because it needs to be.
Indemnification
If your misuse of this site creates a legal problem for us, you agree to cover our costs. This is standard, and it only applies if you've done something you shouldn't have.
Governing law
These terms are governed by California law. Any disputes would be handled in Los Angeles County courts. We hope it never comes to that.
Changes
We may update these terms. If we do, we'll post the new version here with an updated date. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
