Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website and the content, applications, software, games, and other works made available on it (together, the “Services”).
Acceptance
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Who provides the Services
The Services are provided by The Traveling Ronin LLC, a company based in Santa Monica, California, United States. You can reach us at aki@thetravelingronin.com.
Permitted use
You may view and use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial use, in a lawful and reasonable manner. Any additional terms presented with a specific application, game, or download apply to that work in addition to these Terms.
Intellectual property
Except where noted, all content on the Services — including text, design, graphics, code, software, film, sound, photographs, and the marks “The Traveling Ronin” and “Aki Black” — is owned by or licensed to The Traveling Ronin LLC and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from it without our prior written permission, except as allowed by law.
Software, applications, games, and future works
Software, applications, and games we release may be governed by their own end-user license agreements and by the terms of the platform or app store through which they are distributed. Where those terms conflict with these Terms for that specific work, the work-specific terms control for that work.
Third-party content and external links
The Services may reference or link to third-party platforms, app stores, and content we do not control. We are not responsible for third-party content, products, or practices, and a link does not imply our endorsement.
Prohibited conduct
You agree not to misuse the Services, including by attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with their operation or security, scraping or harvesting data at scale, introducing malicious code, infringing others’ rights, or using the Services for any unlawful purpose.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Traveling Ronin LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Services.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Traveling Ronin LLC from any claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your misuse of the Services or your violation of these Terms.
Changes to the Services and these Terms
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We may also update these Terms; when we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date below. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you violate these Terms or use the Services in a way that could cause harm or legal liability.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in California will have jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to another agreed process.
