Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 3, 2026

Welcome to The Uncle. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, content, forms, communications, and online materials.

By using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. About The Uncle

The Uncle is a creative studio based in the United States. Through TU Studio, TU Stories, and TU Films, we create visual stories through brand identity, film and video production, post-production, wedding films and photography, creative direction, and original cinematic projects.

2. Website content

The content on this website is provided for general informational and promotional purposes. It may include descriptions of services, portfolio materials, videos, images, project descriptions, creative statements, and contact information.

We may update, modify, or remove website content at any time without notice.

3. No automatic client relationship

Submitting a contact form, sending an email, requesting information, or communicating with The Uncle does not create a client relationship or service agreement.

A project begins only when both parties agree in writing to the scope of work, timeline, fees, deliverables, usage rights, and other project terms.

4. Project proposals and agreements

Any creative project, production, design work, post-production work, wedding film, photography service, or film collaboration may require a separate written proposal, contract, invoice, production agreement, or service agreement.

Those separate agreements will control the specific terms of the project, including payment, revisions, cancellation, ownership, licensing, delivery dates, and usage rights.

5. Intellectual property

All content on this website, including text, images, videos, graphics, logos, designs, concepts, layouts, and creative materials, is owned by The Uncle or used with permission unless otherwise stated.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, display, or use any website content without prior written permission from The Uncle.

6. Portfolio and project materials

Portfolio materials displayed on this website are used to show the creative work, experience, and visual approach of The Uncle.

Some projects may include work created for clients, collaborators, productions, or third parties. All trademarks, names, logos, and materials belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

7. User submissions

If you submit information, messages, project ideas, images, files, or other materials through the website or by email, you confirm that you have the right to share those materials with us.

You agree not to submit unlawful, harmful, infringing, confidential, or sensitive materials unless specifically requested and agreed in writing.

8. Creative concepts and ideas

The Uncle may develop creative ideas, concepts, strategies, treatments, designs, scripts, visual approaches, or proposals during conversations or project development.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, unpaid proposals, concepts, drafts, treatments, and creative materials remain the intellectual property of The Uncle and may not be used, copied, shared, or produced without written permission.

9. Third-party links and embedded media

Our website may include links or embedded content from third-party platforms, including video platforms, social media, analytics tools, or external websites.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices, terms, or security of third-party websites or platforms.

10. Payments and online transactions

Unless otherwise stated, this website does not process payments directly. Project payments, deposits, invoices, and fees are handled according to separate written agreements or invoices.

All payment terms, cancellation terms, late fees, deposits, and refund policies must be defined in the applicable project agreement or invoice.

11. No guarantees

We make reasonable efforts to keep the website accurate and available, but we do not guarantee that the website will always be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or up to date.

Creative results, business outcomes, marketing performance, festival selections, audience response, or commercial impact cannot be guaranteed unless specifically stated in a written agreement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Uncle will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website or reliance on its content.
