Welcome to Mary & Blake Media. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of maryandblake.com, the Mary & Blake web app, and the content, features, services, and other experiences offered through them (collectively, the “Site”).

Mary & Blake Media is operated by Tall Mom Media, LLC. In these Terms, “Mary & Blake Media,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Tall Mom Media, LLC and the Mary & Blake Media website and services.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the Site.

1. About Mary & Blake Media

Mary & Blake Media is an independent entertainment and fandom media company. The Site may include articles, reviews, commentary, podcasts, videos, episode guides, explainers, community discussions, premium-content promotions, web-app features, newsletters, advertising, affiliate links, merchandise links, and other entertainment-related content and services.

Much of our content includes opinions, analysis, criticism, humor, speculation, theories, and subjective reactions to television, film, books, entertainment, and popular culture.

2. Eligibility and Use of the Site

The Site is intended for a general audience.

You may browse publicly available content for personal, noncommercial purposes.

If you use features that involve creating an account, making a purchase, joining a membership, submitting personal information, or entering into another transaction, you represent that you have the legal capacity to do so.

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you should use transactional or account-related features only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

Children under 13 should not submit personal information through the Site.

3. Intellectual Property and Ownership

Unless otherwise indicated, the original content available through Mary & Blake Media—including articles, written commentary, podcast recordings, videos, graphics, logos, photographs owned by us, original artwork, page designs, branding, show concepts, compilations, and other original material—is owned by or licensed to Tall Mom Media, LLC and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

Use substantial amounts of our original content to train, develop, improve, or operate artificial-intelligence or machine-learning systems except where we have expressly authorized that use or applicable law provides otherwise.

Ordinary linking, quotation, criticism, commentary, and other uses permitted by applicable copyright law are not prohibited by these Terms.

Additional rules regarding automated access, scraping, artificial intelligence, or use of our content may also appear in separate Terms of Content Use displayed on the Site. If applicable, those terms are incorporated into these Terms.

4. Third-Party Intellectual Property

Mary & Blake Media covers television series, films, books, actors, characters, studios, networks, authors, and other entertainment properties that we do not own.

Names, images, clips, logos, characters, artwork, trademarks, and other materials belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

Our discussion or display of third-party material does not imply ownership, sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation unless expressly stated.

Mary & Blake Media’s editorial content may make use of third-party material for purposes including commentary, criticism, review, news reporting, discussion, identification, and other uses permitted by applicable law.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Site.

You may not:

Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, servers, accounts, or systems;
Interfere with the operation or security of the Site;
Introduce malicious software, viruses, or harmful code;
Circumvent technical restrictions or access controls;
Use automated systems to overload or disrupt the Site;

Submit content that infringes another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; or
Use the Site in a manner that violates applicable law.

We may restrict or terminate access to Site features when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated or when necessary to protect the Site, our users, our business, or others.

6. Comments, Listener Feedback, and Other Submissions

Mary & Blake Media may allow visitors to submit comments, messages, questions, ratings, theories, listener feedback, social-media responses, community posts, or other material (“User Submissions”).

You retain ownership of content that you submit.

However, when you intentionally submit material to Mary & Blake Media for possible publication, discussion, inclusion in a podcast, inclusion in a video, or other use by Mary & Blake Media, you grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, perform, distribute, excerpt, format, and reasonably edit that submission in connection with Mary & Blake Media and the promotion of our content.

For example, listener feedback submitted for a podcast may be read, quoted, summarized, discussed, or displayed as part of the show or related Mary & Blake content.

We may edit submissions for length, clarity, formatting, grammar, or presentation without materially changing their intended meaning.

Submitting something does not guarantee that we will publish or use it.

Do not send confidential information through comments, listener feedback, or other public-facing submission features. Unless we expressly agree otherwise, submissions are not treated as confidential.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit the material you provide.

7. Community Standards and Moderation

We want Mary & Blake Media’s community spaces to support conversation, disagreement, enthusiasm, criticism, and fandom without becoming abusive.

Where we provide comments or community features, we reserve the right to moderate, hide, remove, or decline content at our discretion, including material that is abusive, threatening, discriminatory, defamatory, spammy, deceptive, off-topic, unlawful, or disruptive.

We are not obligated to monitor every submission and do not necessarily endorse opinions expressed by users.

8. Memberships and Premium Content

Mary & Blake Media may promote memberships, premium content, bonus material, community access, or other benefits through the Nerd Clan or similar programs.

Some membership services may be provided or billed through third-party platforms such as Patreon or other service providers.

When you purchase or manage a membership through a third party, that transaction is also governed by that provider’s terms, billing policies, cancellation rules, refund policies, and privacy practices.

Availability, pricing, benefits, features, and content included with a membership may change over time.

We may add, remove, replace, or modify particular benefits or content as the Mary & Blake Media service evolves. Nothing in these Terms guarantees that a particular article, podcast, show, feature, archive item, or other benefit will remain available indefinitely.

9. Purchases, Contributions, and Payment Services

The Site may link to third-party services for purchases, memberships, merchandise, contributions, or payments.

These providers may include platforms such as Patreon, PayPal, merchandise providers, ticketing services, or other payment processors.

Transactions completed through those providers are subject to the applicable provider’s terms and policies.

Mary & Blake Media generally does not directly receive or store complete payment-card information when a third-party payment processor handles the transaction.

If we offer a product or service for direct purchase through Mary & Blake Media in the future, any additional pricing, renewal, cancellation, refund, or purchase terms presented during checkout will also apply.

10. Affiliate Links

Mary & Blake Media may participate in affiliate-marketing programs.

Some links on the Site may be affiliate links. If you click one of those links and make a qualifying purchase or take another qualifying action, Mary & Blake Media may receive a commission or other compensation at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not change our obligation to provide our own opinions and editorial judgment.

Third-party purchases are governed by the merchant’s own terms, warranties, shipping policies, return policies, and privacy practices.

11. Advertising

The Site may display advertisements supplied by third-party advertising providers, including Raptive and its advertising partners.

Advertising displayed on the Site does not necessarily constitute an endorsement by Mary & Blake Media of the advertiser, product, service, or claim contained in an advertisement.

Your interactions or transactions with advertisers are between you and the applicable advertiser.

Information about advertising-related data collection and privacy choices is provided in our Privacy Policy.

12. Consent to Data Collection and Privacy Policy

These Terms incorporate the Mary & Blake Media Privacy Policy, which is available through the Site and explains how we and our vendors and service providers may collect, process, use, and disclose information when you use the Site or Mary & Blake web app.

By using the Site, you acknowledge the data practices described in the Privacy Policy and consent to data collection and use where consent is the applicable legal basis.

Where applicable, you may withdraw or modify consent or exercise privacy choices using the privacy, cookie, advertising, or opt-out controls provided on the Site or by following the instructions in our Privacy Policy.

Nothing in these Terms limits any privacy rights provided to you under applicable law.

13. Third-Party Websites, Platforms, and Embedded Content

The Site may contain links to or content embedded from services operated by third parties, including video providers, podcast platforms, social networks, membership providers, retailers, advertisers, and other websites.

These services are not controlled by Mary & Blake Media.

We are not responsible for the availability, security, accuracy, content, products, services, privacy practices, or policies of third-party services.

Your use of those services is governed by the applicable third party’s terms and policies.

14. Podcasts, Videos, and Embedded Media

Mary & Blake Media may make podcasts, videos, audio, and other media available through the Site or through third-party platforms.

We may change hosting providers, remove or replace embeds, update players, change distribution platforms, or modify the availability of individual media assets.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to content hosted by a third party.

15. Mary & Blake Web App

Mary & Blake Media may offer progressive-web-app or web-app features, including personalized feeds, followed shows, saved preferences, media playback, notifications, and other functionality.

The web app is part of the Site for purposes of these Terms.

We do not guarantee that any particular device, browser, operating system, notification service, or third-party integration will support every feature.

16. Editorial and Entertainment Disclaimer

Mary & Blake Media provides content primarily for informational, editorial, commentary, criticism, and entertainment purposes.

Reviews, rankings, interpretations, reactions, predictions, theories, and similar material represent opinions and may change as additional information becomes available.

Entertainment reporting may involve developing stories, rumors, release schedules, casting information, production information, or other facts that change over time.

Although we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate information, we do not guarantee that every statement on the Site is complete, current, or error-free.

Nothing on Mary & Blake Media should be treated as professional legal, medical, financial, tax, or other professional advice.

We do not guarantee that:

The Site will always be available;
Every page or feature will remain unchanged;
Content will remain available indefinitely;
Every link or embedded service will continue to function;
The Site will be free of errors or interruptions; or
Every device or browser will support every feature.

18. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, FEATURES, AND SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

MARY & BLAKE MEDIA AND TALL MOM MEDIA, LLC DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND AVAILABILITY.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

19. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TALL MOM MEDIA, LLC, MARY & BLAKE MEDIA, AND OUR VENDORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

(A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO TALL MOM MEDIA, LLC FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE DURING THE SIX MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR

(B) $100 U.S.

These limitations apply regardless of whether the claim is based on contract, warranty, statute, tort, negligence, strict liability, or another legal theory, and whether or not we were advised that such damages were possible.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so these limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

20. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tall Mom Media, LLC, Mary & Blake Media, and their owners, employees, contractors, vendors, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable costs arising from:

Your unlawful or prohibited use of the Site;
Your material violation of these Terms;
Content you submit through the Site;
Your infringement of another person’s rights; or
Your violation of applicable law.

This provision does not require you to indemnify any party for conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.

21. Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE CERTAIN DISPUTES DECIDED BY A COURT OR JURY.

Except as provided below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Site, these Terms, your use of Mary & Blake Media, or your relationship with Tall Mom Media, LLC will be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than in court.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

Exceptions

Either party may:

Bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies and remains on an individual basis; or
Seek appropriate court relief regarding infringement, misuse, or protection of intellectual-property rights.

Informal Dispute Resolution

Before beginning arbitration, the party raising the dispute must provide written notice describing the claim, the facts underlying the dispute, relevant dates or transactions, the requested relief, and appropriate contact information.

Notices to Mary & Blake Media may be submitted through the Contact information provided on the Site or sent to any business mailing address we designate on the Site.

Both parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after notice is received.

Arbitration Process

If the dispute is not resolved informally, either party may initiate arbitration through JAMS or another mutually agreed arbitration provider if JAMS is unavailable.

The arbitration will be conducted under the applicable JAMS rules in effect when the arbitration begins.

Where permitted by those rules, proceedings may occur remotely, through written submissions, or at a mutually agreed location.

The arbitrator may award any remedy or relief that would be available to the individual claimant under applicable law.

The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, subject to the limited review available under applicable arbitration law.

Waiver of Jury Trial

To the extent a dispute is subject to arbitration, you and Tall Mom Media, LLC waive the right to have that dispute decided by a judge or jury in court.

Individual Claims and Class-Action Waiver

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, claims subject to arbitration must be brought on an individual basis.

Neither party may pursue or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding concerning claims covered by this arbitration agreement, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

If the prohibition on class or representative proceedings is determined to be unenforceable for a particular claim or remedy, that portion of the dispute will proceed as required by applicable law.

Time to Bring a Claim

To the extent permitted by applicable law, a claim arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site must be initiated within one year after the claim arose, unless applicable law requires a longer period.

Severability and Survival

If part of this arbitration agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

This arbitration agreement survives termination of your use of the Site.

22. Governing Law

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs matters relating to the arbitration agreement.

For disputes that are not required to be arbitrated, the parties consent to the jurisdiction of appropriate state or federal courts located in Rhode Island, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

23. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes to the Site, our services, technology, business practices, legal requirements, or relationships with service providers.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Material changes will apply prospectively to the extent required by applicable law.

Your continued use of the Site after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those Terms where permitted by law.

24. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law or severed where necessary.

The remaining provisions will remain in effect.

25. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce that provision later.

26. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, any applicable Terms of Content Use, and any additional terms presented for a particular service or transaction, constitute the agreement between you and Tall Mom Media, LLC concerning use of the Site.
