These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the website at brightvalleymedia.com and any related publishing or scheduling tools operated by Nathan LaValley, doing business as Bright Valley Media, an unincorporated business operating in Deltona, Florida ("Bright Valley Media," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the website, contacting us, or authorizing us to publish content on your behalf to a third-party platform such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, you agree to these Terms.

1.Acceptance and Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and authorized to bind the business you represent in order to use our services beyond simply browsing the website. By signing a Statement of Work, granting OAuth permissions to a Bright Valley Media application on a third-party platform, or making payment for services, you represent that you have authority to do so on behalf of the account or business named.

2.Services Description

Bright Valley Media provides creative production services (video production, photography, podcast production, social-media content production, design) and operates publishing and scheduling tools that, when authorized by you, post creative work to your connected social-media accounts on the schedule we coordinate with you. Detailed terms covering deliverables, fees, intellectual property, confidentiality, indemnification, and termination of paid engagements are set out in our Master Services Agreement (MSA), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference for all clients.

3.Authorization to Act on Connected Accounts

If you connect a Facebook Page, Instagram Business or Creator account, TikTok creator account, YouTube channel, or other third-party platform account to a Bright Valley Media application via that platform's OAuth flow, you grant Bright Valley Media permission to perform on the connected account only the actions enabled by the permission scopes you approved during the OAuth flow. Typical actions include reading basic profile information, scheduling and publishing posts, editing or deleting posts we have published, and reading public engagement metrics for those posts.

You may revoke this authorization at any time by disconnecting Bright Valley Media in the connected platform's own settings (for example, Facebook → Business Integrations, TikTok → Manage app permissions, Google → Permissions). Revocation immediately ends our ability to act on the connected account, and we will delete the corresponding access token from our active systems within thirty (30) days. Revocation does not by itself terminate any underlying paid engagement; if you wish to end a paid engagement, see Section 14 of the MSA.

You remain solely responsible for the content of any posts published on your behalf at your direction. We will not knowingly publish content that violates these Terms, the MSA, or the policies of the destination platform.

4.Acceptable Use

You agree not to use our website, services, or tools to:

  • violate any applicable law, regulation, or court order;
  • infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
  • publish content that is defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or that incites violence;
  • publish misleading information about goods, services, health, finances, or elections in violation of the destination platform's policies;
  • send unsolicited commercial messages, malware, or spam through any connected account;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, our other clients' data, or any third-party platform;
  • resell, sublicense, scrape, or reverse-engineer our publishing tools;
  • interfere with the normal operation of our services or impose an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.

We may suspend or terminate access to our services and any connected account on reasonable notice (or immediately if required to comply with a legal order or platform policy) if we determine that you have violated this section.

5.Fees and Payment

All paid services are governed by a Statement of Work referencing the MSA, including the MSA's terms on fees, auto-pay, late payment, and chargeback waiver. Browsing the website and submitting an inquiry are free.

6.Intellectual Property

Ownership of finished, paid-for deliverables passes to the Client as described in Section 10 of the MSA. The website, our publishing tools, our brand, our underlying templates and methodologies, and the source code of any tools we operate remain the property of Bright Valley Media. Nothing on the website constitutes a license to use our trademarks, brand, or content except as expressly permitted in writing.

You retain all rights to brand assets, copy, photographs, video, audio, and other content you provide to us or that we publish on your behalf. By providing such content or directing us to publish it, you grant Bright Valley Media a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, format, schedule, transmit, and publish that content to your authorized destination platforms solely as needed to deliver the services.

7.Third-Party Platforms

When we publish content on your behalf to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or any other third-party platform, your use of that platform is also subject to that platform's own terms of service and privacy policy. We do not control those platforms and are not responsible for their decisions, including takedowns, account restrictions, ranking changes, audience reach, or downtime. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to publish your content as scheduled and to surface platform errors to you when they occur.

8.Privacy

Our handling of personal information, including data we receive from connected platforms, is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

9.Disclaimers

The website, the services, and any publishing tools are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bright Valley Media disclaims all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not warrant any specific outcome from a creative engagement or from any post we publish on your behalf, including any specific level of audience growth, engagement, leads, sales, or revenue.

10.Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bright Valley Media will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the website, the services, or any publishing tools, even if Bright Valley Media has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Bright Valley Media's total cumulative liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the services will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees actually paid to Bright Valley Media by the affected party in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

11.Termination

You may stop using the website at any time. You may revoke any platform connection at any time as described in Section 3. Termination of paid engagements is governed by Section 14 of the MSA. We may terminate or suspend access to the website, the services, or any connected account immediately if you breach these Terms, the MSA, or the policies of a destination platform; if continued service would expose us to legal risk; or if a third-party platform requires us to do so.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, and 13 — survive termination.

12.Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always posted at brightvalleymedia.com/legal/terms/ with the effective date shown at the top. Material changes will be communicated by email to active clients at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. Continued use of the website or services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

13.Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the services is the state and federal courts located in Volusia County, Florida, and each party irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

14.General

Entire Agreement. For paid clients, the MSA, the applicable Statement of Work, the Privacy Policy, and these Terms together form the entire agreement between you and Bright Valley Media and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on the same subject. For non-paying website visitors and users of the publishing tools, these Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of our assets, on notice to you.

Notices. Notices to Bright Valley Media must be sent to contact@brightvalleymedia.com. Notices to you may be sent to the email address on file for your account or for your most recent inquiry.
