Terms of Use

The agreement

This website is operated by Collective Reach LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company doing business as Creative Reach (“we,” “us”), Lafayette, Louisiana, which holds The Juneteenth Story as a production property. The production is staged under license by Black Theatre Experience and the Southwest Louisiana Juneteenth Committee, which are separate organizations with their own policies.

By using thejuneteenthstory.com you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Anyone who makes a purchase or submits a form through this site must be 18 or older, or a minor acting with a parent or guardian’s permission.

What you may do

You may read, link to, and share pages from this site. You may not copy, republish, scrape, or sell its content, photographs, or marks without written permission; use the site to send spam or false submissions; interfere with its operation; or use it for anything unlawful. Requests for permission go to josiah@thejuneteenthstory.com.

Ownership

Content on this site, including text, logos, and the name and marks of The Juneteenth Story, is owned by or licensed to Collective Reach LLC and its collaborators and protected by copyright and trademark law. Production photographs are the work of FamiLee Photography and Mac Media Design and appear here by arrangement with them; they may not be copied from this site. The Juneteenth Story is written by Twana Benoit.

Sponsorships

The sponsor levels on this site describe what we offer; a sponsorship exists only once a written commitment letter or agreement is signed by both sides, and that document governs. Whether any part of a sponsorship is tax-deductible depends on the path chosen, the benefits received, and the recipient organization’s status at the time of the gift. Nothing on this site is tax or legal advice; please consult your own advisor.

Purchases

Prices are in U.S. dollars. Payment is taken on Stripe’s hosted checkout page, and the charge appears from Collective Reach LLC. An order is accepted when Stripe confirms payment. We may cancel and fully refund an order we cannot fulfil, for example a size that has sold out. Refunds, exchanges, and delivery are covered in the Refund Policy, which is part of these terms.

Third-party links and services

The site links to other websites and services (for example, Instagram, Facebook, Calltime, Stripe, and partner organizations). We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or their handling of your data. Their terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.

No warranty; limits on liability

We work to keep this site accurate and available, but it is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. Dates, venues, and programs can change; check with us before relying on them. To the fullest extent the law allows, Collective Reach LLC and its members, officers, volunteers, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, and total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid through the site in the twelve months before the claim, or $100, whichever is greater. Some states do not allow these limits, in which case they apply only as far as the law permits.

Louisiana law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be settled by talking to us first will be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing here limits consumer-protection rights you have under the law of the state where you live.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top will change when we do, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept it. Questions: josiah@thejuneteenthstory.com.
