Terms of Service

Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of larkelwood.com, related pages, and digital tools operated by Lark Elwood (together, the “Services”). By visiting the site or using any related tool, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

The Services

The Services include the author website for Lark Elwood, blog content, mailing-list and ARC signup experiences, and private publishing or content tools connected to third-party platforms such as TikTok. Features may change, be limited, or be discontinued at any time.

Some tools may be private or restricted to authorized accounts. Access to a tool does not grant ownership of the platform APIs, brand assets, or account permissions used by that tool.

Eligibility and accounts

You must be old enough to use the Services under the laws that apply where you live. If a feature connects to a third-party platform (for example TikTok), you must also comply with that platform’s age rules, terms, and community guidelines.

You are responsible for any credentials, API tokens, or connected accounts you use with the Services, and for activity that occurs through those connections.

Content and intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, site copy, branding, book-related materials, images, and other content on larkelwood.com are owned by Lark Elwood or used with permission. You may browse and share links for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, scrape, republish, or commercially exploit the content without prior written permission, except where fair use or another legal exception clearly applies.

If you submit content through forms, tools, or connected platforms (captions, drafts, images, comments, or similar), you remain responsible for that content. You confirm you have the rights needed to submit and publish it, and that it does not infringe others’ rights or violate applicable law or platform rules.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Services. That includes attempting to disrupt the site, probe or bypass security, harvest personal data without permission, spam, impersonate others, or use the Services to publish unlawful, deceptive, or abusive content.

When using any TikTok-related publishing feature, you also agree to follow TikTok’s developer terms, content policies, and any scopes or permissions granted to the connected app.

Third-party services

The Services may link to or integrate with third parties such as Meta, TikTok, email providers, form hosts, analytics tools, or hosting providers. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Lark Elwood is not responsible for third-party outages, policy changes, account enforcement, or content decisions made by those platforms.

Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lark Elwood disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Book information, release timing, and tool behavior may change without notice.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lark Elwood will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or business interruption arising from your use of the Services or from third-party platform actions. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, liability is limited to the maximum extent allowed.

Privacy

How information is collected and used is described in the Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you also acknowledge that policy.

Changes

These Terms may be updated from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will change when revisions are published. Continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
