About this document

Hello everyone! This is Business David, and I hope that you understand my directness, as it is a necessity for clearly explaining the requirements for interacting with the materials I provide through Dreaming in Script.

You need to actually read this page.

This document outlines the Terms of Use that you agree to be bound by when participating in Dreaming in Script. It allows me to protect my intellectual property and continue to support my family through offering calligraphy courses online.

Terms of Use

Please fully read this document before registering or participating in any DIS programs. Your respectful adherence to the terms laid out on this page is required for your continued use and access to the Dreaming in Script programs.

If you have a unique learning concern related to the format (or language) of any course, please contact us directly to discuss methods that we can make the materials more accessible or functional for your study purposes.

1. Terms

By accessing this School, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Use, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this site. The materials contained in this School are protected by applicable copyright and trademark law.

2. Use License

  1. Permission is granted to access materials on the School’s website for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This access lasts for the duration of your enrollment. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license, you may NOT:
    1. modify or copy the materials (other than with your own pen);
    2. use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial);
    3. attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained on the School’s web site;
    4. remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials;
    5. transfer the materials to another person or 'mirror' the materials on any other server;
    6. share links to the materials published on this server; or
    7. compile the materials into any alternative format for personal study without the express written consent of Masgrimes LLC (including but not limited to study booklets, hard copies of the essays, PDFs, or any digital file or format.)
  2. You ARE permitted to print one (1) copy of each exemplar or letterform diagram presented with a "download link" in the course for storage in a physical location within your protection. After printing, I ask that you delete any digital files pertaining to those images from your local machine.
  3. You ARE permitted and encouraged to take notes by hand. This helps to protect the course materials from accidental piracy and reinforces your absorption of the lesson material.
  4. This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by Masgrimes at any time. Upon the termination of this license, you must destroy any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed format and your access to the course materials will be revoked.

3. Disclaimer

The materials and courses are provided "as is" without any warranties. We make no guarantees about the accuracy of content, your learning results, or that the platform will always work perfectly. We also don't warrant any linked websites.

4. Limitations

If something goes wrong with the platform or courses, we're not responsible for any damages this might cause you—including lost work, income, or business problems. Note that some jurisdictions don't allow these kinds of liability limits, so this may not apply everywhere.

5. Revisions and Errata

Course materials may be updated or changed without notice. We don't guarantee that all content will always be current or error-free.

6. Links

The School has not reviewed all of the sites linked to its website and is not responsible for the contents of any such linked site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by the School of the site. Use of any such linked website is at the user's own risk.

7. Site Terms of Use Modifications

The School may revise these Terms of Use for its website at any time without notice. By using this website you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of these Terms of Use.

8. Governing Law

These terms will be governed by Oregon state law. Any legal disputes must be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Oregon in the United States of America.

In conclusion

Thank you for helping us to protect our intellectual property and supporting small businesses and artists by acting to prevent material theft of our courses. Thank you for NOT downloading, compiling, or sharing the materials from this course with anyone else, whether they are members of DIS or not. Thank you for helping us to protect our course materials from plagiarism and piracy. Thank you for trusting that all of the materials have been presented in a specific format which is the unique creative vision of Masgrimes LLC.
