Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and w3developing, LLC. They apply to every visitor,
user, and other person who accesses the Site. By using the Site you also agree to our
Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you are
using the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to
bind that organization to these Terms.
The Site and our services
w3developing is a web development and digital services studio based in Sheridan, Oregon, United
States. The Site showcases our work, capabilities, writing, and original music, and provides ways to
inquire about our services. The Site and its content are provided for your general information and
personal, non-commercial use. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any
time without notice.
Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer, guarantee, or contract for services. Any engagement for
services is governed by a separate written agreement between you and w3developing.
Ownership of content & intellectual property
The Site and all of its contents are the property of w3developing, LLC, its owner Jason R. Wydro,
and/or its licensors, and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and
other intellectual-property laws. This includes, without limitation:
- the software, source code, design, layout, structure, and visual presentation of the Site;
- all text, articles, essays, stories, glossary and definition entries, and other written content;
- all photography, images, illustrations, graphics, artwork, album and cover art, and video;
- all music, songs, compositions, lyrics, and sound recordings;
- all logos, names, brands, and trademarks; and
- the selection, arrangement, and compilation of all of the above.
All rights are reserved. Except for the limited license granted in Section 8, nothing in these Terms
transfers to you any right, title, or interest in any of the content, and you may not use it except as
expressly permitted here or with our prior written permission.
Music & sound recordings
Original music on the Site is written, composed, and produced by Jason R. Wydro, performing and
releasing as 01DW3ST, and is published by Antique Echo Publishing (ASCAP).
Both the musical compositions and the sound recordings (masters) are protected works. Rights are
registered with performing-rights and mechanical-licensing organizations, including ASCAP and The MLC.
Streaming previews only. Any player embedded on the Site (for
example, Spotify or Apple Music) streams a short preview or clip supplied by that platform — it
does not deliver a downloadable or full-length copy of any recording from us.
You may not copy, download, rip, reproduce, distribute, sell, rent, broadcast, publicly perform,
remix, sample, create derivative works from, synchronize with video, or otherwise exploit any
composition or sound recording without a valid license or our prior written permission and, where
applicable, the permission of the relevant rights organizations. To license or use any music, contact
us at jason@w3developing.com.
Photography, images & graphics
All photography, images, illustrations, and graphic assets on the Site are original works or licensed
for our use and remain protected. You may not download, copy, republish, redistribute, sell, modify,
crop, add to a collection or dataset, or hotlink to any image, nor remove any watermark, caption, or
credit, without our prior written permission. Viewing images in your browser as part of normal use of
the Site is permitted; saving or repurposing them is not.
Articles, stories & written content
Our articles (including “The Journal”), stories, glossary, definitions, and other written
content are original works of authorship protected by copyright. You may read and share links to this
content, and you may quote brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link back to the source page,
consistent with fair use. You may not republish, syndicate, translate, adapt, or reproduce substantial
portions of the written content, or present it as your own, without our prior written permission.
Trademarks & brand
“w3developing,” the w3developing logo, “01DW3ST,” “VPF Marketing”
and the VPF (Visibility, Presentation, Function) framework, and other names, logos, slogans, and
product names used on the Site are trademarks or service marks of w3developing, LLC or its owner. You
may not use them without our prior written permission, and you may not use them in any manner likely to
cause confusion, or to disparage or discredit us. All other trademarks appearing on the Site are the
property of their respective owners.
Your limited license to use the Site
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable
license to access and view the Site and its content for your own lawful, personal, non-commercial use.
This license does not include any right to:
- reproduce, distribute, publicly display or perform, or create derivative works from any content;
- use any content for commercial purposes or on any other website or platform;
- frame, mirror, or inline-link the Site or its content;
- use any automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers, or harvesters) to access, copy, or collect
content except for legitimate search-engine indexing that respects our instructions; or
- remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.
We may revoke this license at any time. On revocation, you must stop using the Site and destroy any
copies of content you have made.
Prohibited uses
You agree not to use the Site to, or to attempt to:
- violate any law or regulation, or infringe anyone’s rights;
- access areas of the Site or systems you are not authorized to access, or probe, scan, or test the
vulnerability of the Site;
- interfere with or disrupt the Site, its servers, or networks, including by introducing malware,
excessive requests, or denial-of-service activity;
- collect or harvest personal information about other users;
- impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation; or
- use the Site in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it.
No AI / machine-learning training or data mining
The content on this Site is expressly not licensed for use in developing, training,
fine-tuning, evaluating, or grounding any artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, large-language, or
generative model, or for any text-and-data-mining purpose.
Reservation of rights. We expressly reserve all rights in the
Site’s content against text and data mining and AI/ML use to the fullest extent permitted by
law, including under Article 4 of the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market
(2019/790) and comparable laws. Any use of our content to train or operate AI systems without our
prior written license is unauthorized and prohibited.
This applies whether content is accessed manually, through automated crawling or scraping, or through
any dataset, index, cache, or intermediary. Consuming, ingesting, or reproducing the content for these
purposes is a material breach of these Terms.
Comments & other user submissions
Parts of the Site let you submit content — for example, comments, corrections, notes, or messages
through inquiry and support forms (“Submissions”). You are solely responsible for your
Submissions and represent that you own or have the right to submit them and that they do not infringe
any third-party rights or violate any law.
By making a Submission, you grant w3developing a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual,
irrevocable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, edit, moderate, publish, display, and remove that
Submission in connection with operating and promoting the Site. Comments and corrections are moderated;
we may edit, decline to publish, or remove any Submission at our sole discretion and are under no
obligation to publish or retain anything. You agree not to submit content that is unlawful, defamatory,
harassing, hateful, obscene, deceptive, infringing, or that contains malware, spam, or others’
personal information.
Third-party links & embedded media
The Site may link to, or embed content from, third-party services such as Spotify, Apple Music,
YouTube, and others. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites, services, or
content, and a link or embed is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party service is governed by
that service’s own terms and privacy policy.
Copyright complaints (DMCA)
We respect the intellectual-property rights of others. If you believe content on the Site infringes
your copyright, please send a notice to jason@w3developing.com
that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work
claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the material you claim is infringing and its location on
the Site; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not
authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the
information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the
owner’s behalf. We will respond to valid notices as required by applicable law.
Disclaimers
The Site and all content are provided “as is” and
“as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or
statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and
non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of
harmful components, or that any information on the Site is accurate, complete, or current. Any reliance
you place on the Site is at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some
of these may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, w3developing, LLC, its owner, and its affiliates, and their
respective officers, employees, contractors, and licensors, will not be liable for any indirect,
incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits,
revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or
inability to use) the Site or its content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such
damages. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Site will not exceed one hundred U.S.
dollars (US $100.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not
apply to you.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless w3developing, LLC, its owner, and its affiliates from
and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your Submissions, or your breach of these
Terms or of any law or third-party right.
Privacy
Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what
information we collect and how we use it. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in
the Privacy Policy.
Governing law & disputes
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Site are governed by the laws of
the State of Oregon, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the
exclusive venue for any dispute that is not subject to arbitration or small-claims court will be the
state and federal courts located in Oregon, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction. Any claim
must be brought within one year after it arises.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated”
date above. Material changes may be highlighted on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after
changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
General terms
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and w3developing
regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is found
unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will
be modified to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of
it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them freely. The section headings
are for convenience only.
