Terms and Conditions

Last updated: October 2, 2026


These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of garbanzo.tv and its website features, including inquiries, questionnaires, meeting requests and concept applications (the "Site"). The Site is operated by Garbanzo Group LLC, a Florida limited liability company doing business as Garbanzo ("Garbanzo," "we," "us," or "our").

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. Agreeing to these Terms does not enroll you in marketing communications or replace any consent separately required by law.

1. Who may use the Site

The Site is intended for adults seeking information about our creative and related business services. You must be at least 18 and have legal capacity to agree to these Terms. If you act for a company or another person, you must have authority for the information you submit and the actions you take on their behalf.

Provide accurate information and use the Site lawfully. We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address misuse, security concerns or legal requirements.

2. Website information and project agreements

Our portfolio, service descriptions, questionnaires and other Site content help you evaluate our work and discuss a potential engagement. They do not constitute a binding offer to provide services.

Unless expressly agreed in a signed agreement:

  • Pricing guidance, budget ranges and timing examples are preliminary estimates.

  • Availability, capacity, deliverables and project acceptance are not guaranteed.

  • Completing a questionnaire, submitting a brief, booking a meeting or receiving an automated acknowledgment does not create a client engagement.

  • A questionnaire result is planning guidance, not an approved quote or a determination that a project has been accepted.

Paid work is governed by the applicable signed proposal, master services agreement, statement of work, retainer agreement or other written agreement. Those documents establish the applicable scope, fees, payment schedule, revisions, delivery, intellectual-property rights, cancellation and other commercial terms. If these Terms conflict with your signed agreement about that engagement, the signed agreement controls, subject to applicable law.

3. Meetings and communications

Online booking lets you request or schedule an introductory conversation. A booking does not guarantee acceptance of a project or reserve production capacity.

Use the cancellation or rescheduling instructions in your confirmation. If an online change is no longer available, contact us. We may need to reschedule or decline a meeting and will use the contact information you provided to communicate about it.

Submitting an inquiry or booking permits us to respond to the request through appropriate channels; it does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails or texts. Communication preferences and our handling of calls, recordings and messages are described in the Privacy Policy.

4. Materials you submit

You retain the rights you hold in briefs, reference links, files, messages and other materials you submit ("Submitted Materials"). You give Garbanzo a limited, nonexclusive permission to access, store, copy and use those materials as reasonably needed to evaluate and respond to your request, prepare a proposal and, where separately agreed, carry out the engagement. We may allow service providers and collaborators to assist for those purposes, subject to applicable confidentiality obligations and your agreement with us.

You must have the rights and permissions needed to provide the materials and permit these uses. Identify third-party references as references; sharing a reference does not authorize copying protected work.

A website submission does not by itself create a nondisclosure agreement. Before sending confidential information or trade secrets through an open form, arrange an appropriate agreement and sharing method with us. Any existing confidentiality agreement continues to apply according to its terms. Do not submit passwords, payment-card details or unrelated sensitive personal information through the Site.

We may decline or remove submissions that are unlawful, infringing, malicious or unrelated to a legitimate inquiry.

5. Concept Preview Applications

The Concept Preview Application allows prospective clients to request consideration for a complimentary creative preview in one of three formats: a video script, a concept styleframe or a concept animation. Applicants state a preferred format; Garbanzo confirms the format and scope at selection. Applications are reviewed by a person. Submitting one does not guarantee selection, a response by a particular date or the start of creative work.

If selected, the preview consists of one bounded creative deliverable in the format confirmed at selection: a written video script, a watermarked low-resolution static styleframe or concept board, or a short watermarked low-resolution concept animation, provided for evaluation. It does not include revisions, source or editable files, production-ready assets or a guaranteed turnaround. The selection confirmation and separate written terms will establish the format, scope and any agreed timing before work begins.

Unless those written terms state otherwise:

  • You retain ownership of materials you supply.

  • Garbanzo retains ownership of its original preview work, subject to any third-party rights.

  • Receipt of a preview does not transfer ownership or authorize commercial use. Any evaluation permission is defined in the written selection terms.

  • You may not publish, distribute, adapt or use the preview in advertising, production or other commercial work without written permission.

  • Garbanzo will obtain separate permission before publicly displaying your confidential materials or identifying the preview as work for your business.

There is no obligation to purchase a paid engagement. Any further development, revisions, production or commercial license requires a separate written agreement. We may pause or close the application program; doing so does not alter a written commitment already made to a selected applicant.

6. Website content and intellectual property

The Site contains original Garbanzo work and content we are authorized to display, including text, graphics, designs, animation, video, imagery, layouts and code. Ownership may belong to Garbanzo, its clients, licensors or other rights holders. Client names, logos and third-party marks remain the property of their owners.

You may view the Site and share links to its pages to evaluate our services. Except for the search and AI discovery permission below, or as otherwise permitted by law or the rights holder, you may not copy, download for reuse, modify, republish, distribute, sell or commercially exploit Site content. You may not remove watermarks or rights notices, or imply endorsement or a relationship that has not been authorized.

Search engines and AI discovery

We welcome legitimate search engines and AI-powered discovery and recommendation services to crawl and index our public pages, retrieve and analyze public information about Garbanzo, and use that information to describe, compare or recommend our studio. To the extent we control the relevant rights, we permit the copying and processing reasonably necessary for these purposes, including search indexes, retrieval systems, summaries, citations and limited excerpts in search results and AI-generated answers. Please identify Garbanzo accurately and link to the relevant source page where supported.

This permission applies to publicly accessible content and respects applicable crawler directives, access controls and reasonable request limits. It does not authorize access to private submissions or restricted areas, harvesting personal information for unrelated purposes, bypassing security, or redistributing creative assets as a substitute for the original work. It grants no rights that belong to our clients or other third parties. The other provisions of these Terms should not be read to prohibit the discovery uses expressly permitted here.

Showing work in our portfolio does not grant you a license to use it or imply that we own every element shown. Rights in commissioned deliverables are governed by the applicable project agreement.

7. Acceptable use

Do not use the Site to:

  • Violate law or another person's intellectual-property, privacy or other rights.

  • Impersonate someone, misrepresent your authority or submit misleading information.

  • Send spam, abusive messages or malicious files.

  • Attempt unauthorized access, bypass security measures or interfere with the Site.

  • Harvest personal information for unrelated purposes or use automated access that places an unreasonable load on the Site or bypasses access restrictions. Responsible search and AI discovery crawling permitted by Section 6 is welcome.

We may take proportionate steps to prevent or investigate misuse, including restricting access or preserving relevant records.

8. Third-party tools and automated assistance

The Site may include third-party features or links. Your direct use of another service may be subject to its own terms and privacy policy. We do not control independent third-party sites or their content.

Automated or AI-assisted responses may contain errors and do not independently create a binding commitment, final quote, project acceptance or rights grant. Any binding engagement remains subject to the agreement described in Section 2.

9. Availability and disclaimers

We aim to keep the Site useful and accurate, but content and functionality may change. The Site and its general information are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation or that every description remains current.

Portfolio examples and case studies describe particular work or circumstances. They do not guarantee the same creative, commercial or marketing outcome for another project. Your signed agreement, rather than general website examples, defines any commitments for services you purchase.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty, remedy or right that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

10. Limits on liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Garbanzo and its members, personnel and contractors will not be liable under these Terms for indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages arising from use of the Site, including lost profits, lost business opportunities or loss of data.

For claims arising solely from use of the Site, our total aggregate liability is limited to the greater of US $100 or the amount, if any, you paid Garbanzo specifically for access to the Site. Payments for a creative engagement are governed by that engagement's signed agreement, including its liability provisions.

These limitations do not exclude or limit liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. They do not waive nonwaivable privacy rights or reduce protections expressly provided in a signed agreement.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Florida law, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where applicable mandatory law requires otherwise. Subject to those mandatory protections, disputes arising from the Site or these Terms will be brought in a state or federal court in Florida that has jurisdiction over the dispute.

The governing-law and dispute provisions in a signed client agreement control disputes covered by that agreement. The New York correspondence address below does not change our state of organization or the governing law stated here.

12. Changes and general provisions

We may revise these Terms. The date above identifies the latest version. We will provide additional notice where required by law. Changes apply prospectively and do not alter an existing signed agreement unless that agreement is amended through its own process.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. A failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.

These Terms govern the Site together with any additional terms expressly accepted for a particular website feature. Our Privacy Policy describes our information practices; a signed engagement or confidentiality agreement remains effective within its scope.
