Hi. You’re visiting violetbeacon.com, which is run by Violet Beacon. By using this site, you’re agreeing to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

5. Links to Other Sites

Sometimes we link to outside resources or tools we’ve found useful. These are shared in good faith.

That said, we don’t control those sites. We’re not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or security. If you click on a third-party link, use your best judgment. If something feels off, don’t proceed.

6. What We Can and Can’t Guarantee

We do our best to keep this website accurate and helpful. But we can’t promise:

That the site is always up and running

Use what’s helpful. Skip what isn’t. And if you’re unsure about something, reach out and ask.

Violet Beacon is not liable for any loss or damage that happens from using this site. That includes site outages, errors in content, or choices you make based on the information here.

If we work together on a project, we’ll agree on separate written terms. Those terms will always come first.

8. Changes to These Terms

These terms may change as our work evolves. When that happens, we’ll update the version posted here and revise the date at the top.

By continuing to use the site, you agree to the most recent version.

9. Governing Law

These terms follow the laws of the State of Texas. Any disputes will be handled in a Texas court.

10. Questions or Concerns?

We’re here to make things easier, not harder. If anything here feels unclear or doesn’t sit right, let us know. We’ll walk you through it.
