Terms of Use

Introduction / Acceptance

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of kenebell.com (the “Site”), operated by Kene Bell (“Kene Bell,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Site.

Additional written agreements may apply if you engage Kene Bell for professional services. If a signed client agreement conflicts with these Terms regarding paid professional services, the signed client agreement controls for that engagement.

1. Purpose of the Site

The Site is a portfolio, informational, promotional, inquiry, and scheduling platform presenting Kene Bell’s work, experience, projects, services, music, production history, creative work, technology work, and related professional offerings.

Content on the Site is provided for general informational and promotional purposes.

Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, tax, medical, accounting, investment, or other regulated professional advice.

2. No Client Relationship from Site Use

Visiting the Site, submitting an inquiry, exchanging preliminary communications, or scheduling a Project Discovery Call does not by itself:

• Create a client relationship
• Require Kene Bell to accept a project
• Create a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, fiduciary, or other special relationship
• Establish project scope, pricing, deadlines, deliverables, ownership rights, or payment obligations

Professional engagements become binding only through whatever separate written proposal, statement of work, contract, engagement agreement, invoice/acceptance process, or other agreement is used for the applicable project.

3. Inquiries, Bookings, and Confidential Information

Users may voluntarily submit project information through the Contact page or scheduling process.

Do not submit:

• Trade secrets
• Passwords
• Financial-account credentials
• Social Security numbers
• Protected medical information
• Confidential information belonging to another person or organization without authorization
• Other highly sensitive information unnecessary for an initial inquiry

Unless Kene Bell has separately agreed in writing to confidentiality or an NDA, an unsolicited inquiry alone does not create a contractual confidentiality obligation.

This does not eliminate obligations imposed independently by applicable privacy law.

You represent that you have the right to provide materials and information you submit.

You grant Kene Bell a limited, non-exclusive right to review, store, reproduce, and internally use submitted materials only as reasonably necessary to evaluate, respond to, administer, or pursue the requested communication or potential engagement.

No broader ownership right in your submitted materials is transferred.

4. Bookings

Booking functionality is provided through Calendly and related calendar/conferencing providers.

Availability displayed through the scheduler does not guarantee acceptance of a project.

A scheduled discovery call is an exploratory conversation unless separately agreed otherwise.

Meetings may be rescheduled or cancelled where reasonably necessary.

Third-party scheduling, calendar, conferencing, and notification systems are also subject to their own applicable terms and policies.

5. Professional Services

Descriptions of services on the Site are general descriptions of capabilities and potential engagement types.

They are not binding offers, fixed quotations, guarantees of availability, promises of outcome, or statements that every described service is appropriate for every project.

Actual:

• Scope
• Fees
• Payment terms
• Ownership
• Licenses
• Deliverables
• Revisions
• Schedule
• Acceptance criteria
• Support obligations
• Cancellation rights
• Confidentiality obligations

Will be governed by the applicable separate agreement for a project.

6. Intellectual Property

Except where otherwise indicated, the Site and its original content, design, layout, copy, graphics, interfaces, logos, branding, photographs, video, audio, code, compilations, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to Kene Bell and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Subject to these Terms, you receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and view the Site for lawful personal or legitimate business-evaluation purposes.

No ownership rights are transferred by your use of the Site.

7. Music, Audio, Video, and Creative Material

Music, sound recordings, compositions, performances, video, photographs, artwork, production materials, archival materials, and related creative works displayed or streamed through the Site may be owned by Kene Bell, collaborators, clients, artists, labels, publishers, photographers, licensors, or other rights holders.

Site access does not grant permission to:

• Download
• Reproduce
• Distribute
• Publicly perform
• Publicly display
• Synchronize
• Sample

• Create derivative works from

Such material except as expressly permitted by applicable law or by the relevant rights holder.

8. Third-Party Projects, Marks, and Materials

The Site may reference or display the names, marks, logos, products, projects, artwork, screenshots, photographs, audio, or other materials of clients, collaborators, artists, businesses, platforms, or other third parties.

Third-party trademarks and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

Their appearance on the Site is for portfolio, attribution, identification, historical, commentary, demonstration, or informational purposes and does not by itself imply endorsement, sponsorship, ownership, or affiliation beyond the relationship actually described.

9. Restricted Uses

You may not, except as permitted by law or with prior written authorization:

• Reproduce or republish substantial Site content
• Commercially exploit Site content
• Remove copyright, trademark, attribution, or proprietary notices
• Falsely imply endorsement or affiliation
• Impersonate Kene Bell or another person
• Interfere with Site operation or security
• Probe, scan, attack, disrupt, or circumvent security controls
• Introduce malicious code
• Use the Site for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, defamatory, or infringing conduct
• Use automated means to scrape, harvest, systematically extract, or create datasets from Site content except ordinary search-engine indexing or as otherwise authorized
• Use Site content, media, personal likeness, voice, creative work, or portfolio materials to train, fine-tune, benchmark, evaluate, or build artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models without prior written authorization

Nothing in this section restricts rights that applicable law does not permit us to restrict.

10. Copyright or Rights Concerns

If you reasonably believe Site material infringes a copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other legal right, contact:

Provide enough information to identify:

• The work or right at issue
• The Site material involved
• The basis of the concern
• Your contact information
• Your relationship to the claimed right

We may investigate and take appropriate action without admitting liability.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site may link to or embed third-party services, websites, platforms, media, applications, or content.

Examples may include scheduling, calendar, conferencing, hosting, streaming, social, project, or client platforms.

We do not control independent third-party services and do not warrant their availability, accuracy, security, privacy practices, or content.

Use of third-party services is subject to their own terms and policies.

A link or integration does not automatically constitute endorsement.

12. Electronic Communications

When you submit an inquiry or schedule a meeting, you authorize us to send communications reasonably related to that inquiry, booking, security, service, or potential engagement.

Those communications may be delivered electronically.

Submitting an inquiry or booking does not by itself enroll you in unrelated promotional marketing.

13. Privacy

Use of personal information through the Site is described in the Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference for purposes of explaining Site privacy practices.

14. Portfolio Examples and Results

Past work, awards, credits, case studies, projects, demonstrations, capabilities, or examples shown on the Site illustrate experience and prior work.

They do not guarantee:

• Future results
• Commercial performance
• Revenue
• Audience growth
• Search rankings
• Technical outcomes
• Creative outcomes
• Project acceptance

Results depend on the facts, scope, collaborators, budgets, technology, market conditions, client participation, and other circumstances of each engagement.

15. Site Availability and Changes

We may change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue all or part of the Site at any time.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or continuously available operation.

We may correct errors or update content without prior notice.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that applicable law does not permit to be excluded.

17. Limitation of Liability

This limitation applies only to claims arising from use of the public Site.

Liability arising under a separate signed professional-services agreement is governed by that agreement.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that applicable law prohibits us from limiting.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Kene Bell from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and reasonable costs arising from:

• Your unlawful misuse of the Site
• Materials you submit without sufficient rights or authorization
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your infringement or violation of another person’s rights

This section does not require indemnification to the extent prohibited by applicable law or caused by conduct for which indemnification cannot legally be required.

19. Governing Law

These Terms and disputes arising specifically from use of the public Site are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

Subject to any non-waivable rights under applicable law, disputes concerning the public Site may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Tennessee.

Separate professional-services agreements may contain their own governing-law or dispute-resolution provisions, which will control for those engagements.

20. Informal Dispute Resolution

Before commencing litigation concerning a dispute arising solely from use of the Site, the parties are encouraged, where practical, to attempt good-faith informal resolution.

Notices concerning such disputes may be sent to:

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief, pursuing a claim before an applicable limitations period expires, or exercising rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.

21. Termination or Restriction

We may restrict or terminate access to the Site where reasonably necessary to address:

• Unlawful conduct
• Abuse
• Security threats
• Infringement
• Violation of these Terms

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination remain effective, including intellectual-property, warranty, liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions.

22. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

The current version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Material changes will apply prospectively as required by applicable law.

Continued use after an updated version becomes effective constitutes acknowledgement of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.

23. Severability

If any provision is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

24. Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision or another provision later.

25. Assignment

You may not assign rights or obligations under these Terms in a manner that would materially affect our rights without prior written consent.

We may transfer rights and obligations associated with operation of the Site as part of a legitimate business reorganization, transfer, or succession, subject to applicable law.

26. Entire Agreement for Site Use

These Terms and the incorporated Privacy Policy constitute the agreement concerning use of the public Site.

They do not replace a separate signed agreement governing professional services.
