By visiting, browsing, linking to or otherwise using this website in any way, you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set out here and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

If you do not agree with them, you should not use these sites.

TCFP has the right to revise these terms and conditions at any time, without prior notice, and your use of this website after any change means that you accept it. Your obligations under these terms and conditions continue for as long as you access, use or obtain information from this website. You may end them at any time by no longer using this website and destroying all information obtained from it.

All content on this website is provided “as is” and without warranties or representations of any kind, either expressed or implied.

Although TCFP wishes the content of this website to be accurate, complete and current, TCFP does not warrant or represent that any content on this website (including any software) is error-free, complete or current, that use of such content will be uninterrupted, that defects will be corrected, or that this website, its content, and the servers on which this website and content are available are free of viruses or other harmful components. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so these exclusions may not apply to you in whole or in part.

Under no circumstances will TCFP be liable to any person or business entity for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or other damages or losses based on or caused by any use of this website or of any third-party site to which this website is linked, the content of such third-party sites, or any viruses or other harmful components derived from any such third-party sites, including without limitation any lost profits, revenue or use, business interruption, or loss of computer programs or information, even if TCFP has been specifically advised of the possibility of such damages or losses. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of certain liabilities, so these exclusions may not apply to you in whole or in part.

Any links to other websites or Internet locations from this website are provided for your convenience only. TCFP does not endorse, sponsor or approve any of the content of such websites or locations.

Other than for purely non-profit, academic and scholarly purposes, you may not copy the content of this website, store any of it on your hard drive or any other storage device, distribute or transmit any of it to any other person or company, frame or otherwise display any of it on your own or any other website, or make any other use of it, without the prior written consent of TCFP. Such copying, distribution, transmission, display or other use would breach these terms and conditions and infringe copyrights and other intellectual property rights owned by or licensed to TCFP.

The Thanhouser monogram, the letters T and C inside an octagon, and the name “THANHOUSER” are trademarks of TCFP. Other TCFP product or service names or logos referred to on this website are trademarks or registered trademarks of TCFP. The absence of a product or service name or logo from this section does not waive TCFP’s trademark or other intellectual property rights in that name or logo. All other product and company names mentioned on this website may be trademarks of their respective owners.

If you submit information of any kind to this website, you represent, warrant and agree that you have the unhindered right to do so; that the information does not infringe the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary rights of any other person or entity; that it is not confidential or proprietary to you or anyone else; that it does not injure any other person or entity; and that TCFP may copy, distribute, modify, display, disclose or otherwise use the information (and any ideas in it), and may make, use and sell products, methods and processes made from it, without restriction, in any way it chooses, anywhere in the world, free of charge to TCFP and without acknowledgment of authorship or source.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless TCFP and any and all of its employees, directors, officers, agents, licensors, licensees, affiliates, successors and assigns (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability and costs (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of any breach by you of these terms and conditions. You agree to cooperate as fully as reasonably required in TCFP’s defense of any claim. TCFP reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you shall not in any event settle any matter without the prior written consent of TCFP.

This is a simple website. It has no visitor accounts, carries no advertising, and runs no analytics of its own. You can read everything on it and watch every film without telling us who you are. When you play a film, Vimeo counts the play for us (see Cookies and other services below).

Writing to us. When you send a message with the contact form on our About page, your name, email address, topic and message are emailed to us at feedback@thanhouser.org. The website itself does not store them. We keep the email, as we would a letter, so that we can answer it. The feedback link at the foot of each page opens a form run by Asana, and what you enter there reaches us through Asana. “Tell us about a print” on a film page opens the same contact form.

Our address list. TCFP keeps the names, postal addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers of people who give them to us by mail, telephone or email, or with an order. If you give us yours, we may write to you, call you or email you. Like many non-profits, TCFP occasionally shares its address list with carefully selected organizations not affiliated with TCFP. If you would rather not be on a list we share, or would rather we did not contact you at all, tell us and we will take you off.

When the law requires it. TCFP may release personal information when it believes in good faith that the law, a subpoena or a court order requires it, or that it is needed to help in the discovery of valid legal claims.

Children. TCFP does not knowingly collect or ask for information from anyone under the age of eighteen. If a parent or guardian tells us in writing that a minor has sent us information, we will remove or destroy it.

Risk. Sending information over the Internet always carries some risk. TCFP cannot guarantee that its systems are free from hackers or viruses, or that information sent to us has not been stolen or intercepted. You accept that risk, which comes with using any website, including this one, and TCFP disclaims any liability for harm resulting from such a breach.

This website sets no cookies.

If you put DVDs in an order, the order is kept in your own browser (in its local storage) so that it is still there as you move from page to page. It stays on your device, and is cleared when you come back from PayPal after checking out. You can also clear it in your browser’s settings.

Some parts of these pages come from other services, whose own privacy policies apply:

• Typefaces. The lettering is loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser asks Google’s servers for it and Google sees your IP address. See Google’s privacy policy.
• Film players. The films play on Vimeo. Nothing is loaded from Vimeo until you press play. Then Vimeo’s player loads, and its own policy and cookies apply. Vimeo records each play, which shows us how often each film is watched; it does not tell us who you are. See Vimeo’s privacy policy.
• Hosting. The site is served by Cloudflare, which, like any web host, receives the technical details your browser sends with each request, such as your IP address.

You can buy DVDs and make gifts online through PayPal, by card, PayPal account or Venmo. You enter your payment details on PayPal’s own pages, so TCFP never sees or stores your card number. PayPal passes us what we need to fill and acknowledge your order: your name, email address, shipping address and what you bought or gave. PayPal’s privacy statement and user agreement apply to the payment. You can also order by mail and pay by check, with the printable order form.

These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon and applicable federal laws, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles. If any part of these terms and conditions is unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that part shall be treated as severed from them and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest.

Please send any questions or comments about these terms to TCFP with the contact form on our About page.
