Terms of Service
Last updated: October 19, 2026
Welcome to V.B. Creative. These Terms of Service govern your use of vbcreative.net, operated by Valerie Burroughs, doing business as V.B. Creative, based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.
Please read these terms before using the Website. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.
1. About This Website
This Website provides information about V.B. Creative’s services, experience, and portfolio, including branding, creative direction, website design and development, marketing, product development, and project management.
The Website does not accept payments or process purchases. Professional services are arranged directly with clients.
2. Inquiries and Client Agreements
Submitting an inquiry, requesting a consultation, or communicating through this Website does not, by itself, create a client relationship or obligate either party to proceed with a project.
Before work begins, the project scope, deliverables, fees, payment arrangements, estimated timeline, revision process, and other applicable terms will be established in a separate written proposal or service agreement accepted by both parties.
That agreement governs the professional engagement and takes precedence over these Website terms if there is a conflict concerning the services.
3. Intellectual Property and Portfolio Work
Website content—including text, graphics, designs, images, and portfolio materials—is owned by V.B. Creative or the respective clients, collaborators, or licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may browse this Website and share links to its publicly available pages. Except as permitted by law or expressly authorized by the rights holder, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, or use Website content for commercial purposes.
Client names, logos, trademarks, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance in the portfolio does not transfer any ownership rights or grant permission to reuse them.
Ownership and licensing of work created for clients are addressed in the applicable client agreement.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree to use this Website lawfully and without interfering with its operation or the rights of others.
You may not:
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website or connected systems.
Introduce malicious software or disrupt Website functionality.
Use contact forms to send spam, fraudulent messages, threats, or unlawful content.
Misrepresent your identity or affiliation.
Use portfolio materials to falsely claim authorship or a business relationship.
5. Information You Submit
When contacting V.B. Creative, please provide accurate information and submit only materials you are authorized to share.
Please do not send passwords, payment card details, or sensitive or confidential project materials through an initial Website inquiry. If your project requires confidential information, we can arrange an appropriate method for sharing it and discuss any necessary confidentiality agreement.
Submitting an inquiry does not transfer ownership of your materials to V.B. Creative. Materials may be reviewed and used as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry or evaluate your project.
6. Website Information and Project Results
I make reasonable efforts to keep Website information accurate and current, but content may contain errors or become outdated. Service descriptions are general and do not constitute a binding offer, quote, or guarantee of availability.
Portfolio examples, testimonials, and past results describe particular projects or experiences. They do not guarantee similar results for another client.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, V.B. Creative does not guarantee specific search rankings, website traffic, sales, revenue, or other business outcomes.
7. Third-Party Websites and Services
This Website may link to client websites, social media platforms, or other third-party resources. These websites and services are independently operated and governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
V.B. Creative does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, or practices. A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.
8. Privacy
The collection and handling of personal information through this Website are described separately in the Website’s Privacy Policy.
9. Website Availability and Disclaimer
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
I do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
These Website disclaimers do not replace any commitments expressly made in a separate client agreement.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, V.B. Creative will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this Website.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability or limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence where such limitations are prohibited.
Liability relating to professional services is governed by the applicable client agreement and applicable law.
11. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be updated to reflect changes to the Website or business practices. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date and will apply prospectively from that date.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaiʻi, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Nothing in these terms deprives you of mandatory protections available under applicable law.
