# Full Circle Storyworks Terms of Service
**Document ID:** FCS-TOS-001
**Version:** 1.0 — Approved by the owner; outside-counsel review pending
**Effective date:** the publication date shown with this document on fullcirclestoryworks.com
**Last updated:** the publication date shown with this document on fullcirclestoryworks.com
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of fullcirclestoryworks.com and related FCS websites, customer
libraries, downloads, checkout, and support (together, the "Services"), provided by **Full Circle Storyworks** ("FCS,"
"we," "us," or "our").
FCS operates under the business name **Full Circle Storyworks**, with a mailing address at **16631 Vance Jackson Rd.,
San Antonio, TX 78255**.
By using the Services, or by checking the acceptance box at checkout, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do
not use the Services.
## Plain-English summary
- You buy digital products from FCS. Payment may be processed by Stripe, and some purchases are sold through Link,
Stripe's merchant of record.
- A **standard download** is for personal listening only (section 7). A **creator purchase** adds the **FCS Music Individual
Creator License**, which allows use in your own videos, podcasts and other projects.
- Refunds follow the **Digital Goods & Refund Policy**.
- How we handle personal information is described in the **Privacy Policy**.
- Don't misuse the Services, other people's accounts, or FCS content.
- The Services are provided as they are; our liability is limited as the law allows.
- Texas law applies, and nothing here removes consumer rights the law gives you.
## 1. The agreement
These Terms form an agreement between you and FCS. For a purchase, the agreement also includes the documents presented
and accepted for that purchase:
- the **Digital Goods & Refund Policy** (FCS-DGRP-001);
- for a creator purchase, the **FCS Music Individual Creator License** (FCS-MUSIC-LIC-INDIVIDUAL-001); for a standard
download, section 7 of these Terms;
- the license certificate issued for your purchase; and
- any product-specific disclosure shown at checkout.
The **Privacy Policy** (FCS-PRIVACY-001) is a notice about our data practices. It is not a contract you are asked to
agree to.
If these Terms conflict with a product license or certificate about what you may do with a product, the license or
certificate controls for that product. If they conflict with the Digital Goods & Refund Policy about refunds, that
Policy controls.
## 2. Who may use the Services
You must be able to form a binding contract where you live to make a purchase. If you are not, you may use the Services
only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms for you.
The Services are not directed to children under 13.
Purchases are available worldwide wherever Stripe/Link can sell to you, except where the law or the payment provider
restricts them.
## 3. Your library and sign-in
FCS gives purchasers a customer library for downloads, licenses, and certificates. You sign in with a one-time link sent
to your email address.
You are responsible for:
- keeping access to your email account secure;
- not sharing sign-in links or library access with others; and
- telling us promptly if you think someone else has used your library.
We may end a session, require a new sign-in, or temporarily restrict access when that is reasonably needed to protect you
or the Services.
## 4. Purchases, prices, and payment
Prices are shown before you buy. Taxes are calculated at checkout.
Payment is processed by Stripe. When checkout states that a purchase is **"Sold through Link,"** Link (part of Stripe) is
the merchant of record for that transaction. It processes the payment and applicable transaction taxes, and it sends
the official receipt. FCS provides the digital product, license, downloads, QA tools, and product support.
FCS never receives or stores your full card number.
A purchase is complete when FCS receives confirmation of payment from the payment provider. Returning to the FCS website
after checkout does not by itself complete a purchase.
FCS may decline or cancel an order before fulfillment if:
- the price or product was shown in error;
- the payment is suspected to be fraudulent or unauthorized; or
- fulfillment would break the law or a rights restriction.
If FCS cancels an order after you were charged, you receive a refund.
## 5. Digital products and delivery
Digital products are delivered by download from your library. Unless a product page says otherwise, FCS music files
are DRM-free.
FCS keeps purchased files available for re-download while the Services operate, but online availability cannot be
guaranteed forever. **Download your purchases and keep your own backups.**
You may check the integrity of a downloaded file with the optional FCS Audio QA Checker. A file that fails a check is
handled under the Digital Goods & Refund Policy: a replacement or re-download first, then a refund where that Policy
provides one.
## 6. Licenses and ownership
Buying a product gives you a **license** to use it, not ownership of the underlying copyright. For music Tracks, your
rights are stated in the FCS Music Individual Creator License and your certificate.
FCS and its licensors own the Services, website content, software, designs, trademarks, and all FCS products, except
for rights expressly granted to you. You may not use FCS names, logos, or trademarks in a way that suggests endorsement
or affiliation without our written permission.
## 7. Standard downloads (personal use)
A Track sold as a **standard download** (for example the MP3 edition) comes with these rights only, and no Music License
or license certificate:
- download the file and keep personal backup copies;
- listen to it privately on devices you own or control; and
- convert it to other formats for your own listening.
You may not, without a creator purchase or another license from FCS:
- use the Track in videos, podcasts, streams, games, advertising, or any other project, whether monetized or not;
- play it publicly, broadcast it, or make it available for others to download or stream;
- edit, remix, sample, or combine it with other material for publication; or
- sell, share, register (including with Content ID), or sublicense the file.
To use a Track in your own projects, buy its creator edition, which includes the FCS Music Individual Creator License.
## 8. Refunds
Refunds are governed by the **Digital Goods & Refund Policy** accepted with your purchase. For purchases sold through
Link, Link may also process refunds under its own terms.
## 9. Acceptable use
When using the Services, you must not:
- break any law or anyone else's rights;
- access, or try to access, another person's library, account, or sign-in link;
- share, sell, or publish sign-in or download links;
- copy, redistribute, resell, or make FCS files available beyond what your license allows;
- register FCS Tracks with Content ID or similar systems unless your license allows it;
- probe, scan, disrupt, overload, or bypass the security of the Services;
- use automated tools to download, scrape, or bulk-access the Services, except normal browser and download-manager
use of your own purchases;
- make purchases with a payment method you are not authorized to use; or
- misrepresent who you are, or your relationship to FCS.
## 10. Suspension and termination
FCS may suspend or end your access to the Services, or to a specific product, if:
- you materially break these Terms or a product license;
- the payment is reversed, disputed, or found to be unauthorized, as described in the Digital Goods & Refund Policy;
- a rights conflict or legal order requires it; or
- it is reasonably needed to prevent fraud or abuse.
Where it is practical and lawful, FCS will tell you why, and explain how to respond.
Ending access does not delete the records FCS must keep, and it does not affect rights or obligations that arose before
it ended.
## 11. Copyright and intellectual-property complaints
If you believe material on the Services infringes your copyright or other rights, send a notice to
**contact@fullcirclestoryworks.com** that includes:
- your contact details;
- a description of the work and the material you believe infringes it, with enough detail for us to find it;
- a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; and
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized
to act for them, with your physical or electronic signature.
FCS reviews complete notices promptly and may remove material, pause sales, or contact the affected parties.
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, send a counter-notice to the same address with your
contact details, the material, and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe it was removed by mistake.
## 12. Third-party services
The Services rely on third parties, including Stripe and Link for payments, Cloudflare for hosting and security, and an
email provider for sign-in and fulfillment messages. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to the services they
provide. FCS is not responsible for third-party services it does not control.
## 13. Changes to the Services and to these Terms
FCS may change, add, or remove features, products, or parts of the Services. FCS does not remove a product you already
bought from your library without notice, except where a rights conflict, legal order, or security issue requires it.
That situation is handled under the Digital Goods & Refund Policy and the applicable license.
We may update these Terms. The version shown at the time of a purchase governs that purchase, unless a later change is
required by law or is more favorable to you. For general use of the Services, the version posted on the website
applies from its effective date. Material changes are posted with a new version number and effective date.
## 14. Disclaimers
Except as stated in these Terms, the product license, or the Digital Goods & Refund Policy, the Services are provided
**"as is" and "as available."** FCS does not promise that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the
Services will meet every particular need.
Nothing in this section limits the promises FCS makes about the products you buy, or any warranty or guarantee that the
law does not allow to be excluded.
## 15. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- FCS is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue,
or data, arising from the Services or these Terms; and
- FCS's total liability for any claim relating to a purchase is limited to the amount you paid for that purchase. For
other claims about the Services, it is limited to USD 100.
These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, or for death or
personal injury caused by negligence where such a limit is not allowed.
## 16. Indemnity
If you use an FCS product, or the Services, in breach of these Terms or a product license, and a third party makes a
claim against FCS because of it, you agree to cover FCS's reasonable losses and costs from that claim, to the extent the
law allows.
## 17. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to
conflict-of-law rules.
Before starting a formal dispute, please contact **contact@fullcirclestoryworks.com** and give us 30 days to try to
resolve it informally.
Unless mandatory law gives you a different forum, disputes are resolved in the state or federal courts located in Bexar
County, Texas. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction.
Nothing in these Terms removes consumer rights that you have under the law where you live and that cannot be waived by
contract.
## 18. General
- These Terms, together with the documents in section 1, are the entire agreement about their subject.
- If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
- If FCS does not enforce a right, it does not waive it.
- You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without FCS's consent. FCS may transfer them as part of a
reorganization, merger, or sale of the business, with notice to you.
- Notices to you may be sent to the email address on your account. Notices to FCS go to the contact address below.
