Please read these Terms before using the Website. If you do not agree, please discontinue using it.
1. About the Website
Saving the City is a documentary and educational project exploring cities and ways to improve urban life. The Website provides information about the project, videos, episodes, contributors, production updates, newsletters, and opportunities to support its work.
Content is provided for general information and education. It is not individualized legal, financial, engineering, architectural, or other professional advice.
2. Permitted Use
You may browse the Website, view publicly available content, and share links to its pages for lawful purposes.
You agree not to:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website or its systems.
- Introduce malicious software or interfere with the Website’s operation.
- Use forms or other features to send spam, fraudulent submissions, threats, or unlawful material.
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation with Saving the City.
- Remove ownership notices or use protected materials beyond what the law or an applicable license permits.
We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address misuse or protect the Website and its users.
3. Copyright and Content Permissions
Unless otherwise stated, videos, photographs, graphics, written materials, logos, and other content belong to Saving the City or their respective rights holders.
Access to the Website does not transfer ownership or grant a general license to reproduce, distribute, edit, sell, broadcast, or publicly screen its content.
For permission to use footage, arrange a screening, reproduce materials, or obtain educational licensing, please contact us. Any permission granted may be subject to separate written terms.
Nothing in these Terms restricts fair use or other uses permitted by applicable law.
4. Editorial Content and Accuracy
We aim to provide useful and accurate information. However, documentary footage, interviews, articles, and archived newsletters may reflect circumstances or opinions at the time they were created.
Information about places, organizations, projects, and policies may change. We do not guarantee that all Website content is complete or current.
Views expressed by interviewees and contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Saving the City, its supporters, or production partners.
Please contact us if you believe a factual correction is needed.
5. Donations and Support
The Website links to external fundraising services through which visitors may support Saving the City.
Before donating, review the receiving organization’s identity, payment details, privacy policy, and any applicable donation, recurring-payment, cancellation, or refund terms.
Questions about donation processing, receipts, errors, or refunds should be directed to the organization or service identified on your donation confirmation. You may also contact us for help identifying the appropriate contact.
Tax treatment depends on applicable law and individual circumstances. These Terms do not guarantee that a particular contribution qualifies for a tax deduction.
Unless separately agreed in writing, a contribution does not grant ownership of the project, editorial control, distribution rights, or a financial return.
6. Newsletters and Communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we may send the updates and communications described when you subscribe. You can unsubscribe using the instructions included in those emails.
Please provide accurate contact information. A general inquiry does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive marketing communications.
7. Information You Submit
When you submit an inquiry or other material, you confirm that you have the right to provide it and that it does not violate another person’s rights.
We may use your submission as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry or carry out your request, subject to our Privacy Policy. Sending material does not automatically authorize us to publish it.
Please do not send confidential project proposals, unpublished creative work, or sensitive information unless we have agreed on how it will be handled.
8. External Websites and Embedded Services
The Website may link to other organizations and use external services for video playback, fundraising, social media, or other functions.
These services may have their own terms and privacy policies. Their content, availability, and operation are not fully within our control. A link does not, by itself, imply endorsement of everything on the linked website.
If you encounter a problem with an embedded service, please let us know.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy describes how personal information is handled in connection with the Website.
Please review that policy before submitting personal information.
10. Availability and Limitations
We aim to maintain a useful and accessible Website, but access may be interrupted by maintenance, technical problems, or circumstances outside our control. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to access, the Website.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing limits mandatory consumer rights or other protections available under applicable law.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms to reflect changes to the Website, its services, or applicable requirements. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
Changes apply prospectively. Where additional notice or agreement is legally required, we will provide or obtain it.
12. General Provisions
If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
Any separate written licensing, screening, or other agreement governs its specific subject matter if it conflicts with these Website Terms.
