1. Website Use

This website provides information about Malu Productions, Inc., including entertainment services, cultural experiences, special events, educational programs, and company activities. You agree to use the website lawfully and not interfere with its operation, security, or accessibility.

2. Intellectual Property Rights

Malu Productions, Inc. respects and protects copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other legally protected creative and proprietary materials. Unless otherwise stated, original materials owned by Malu Productions or licensed to us are protected by applicable law. These may include:

• Original choreography and documented performance arrangements.
• Show scripts, original staging designs, audiovisual productions, and protected creative expression.
• Music compositions and recordings owned or licensed by the company.
• Training manuals, instructional videos, Online Learning Modules, and educational resources.
• Photographs, videos, graphics, artwork, marketing materials, and website content.
• Company branding, distinctive logos, and other protected identifiers.
• Original costume artwork and designs, production documents, and proprietary business materials.

Access to our website, attendance at a performance, enrollment in training, or purchase of services does not transfer intellectual property ownership or grant a license beyond the permission expressly provided.

2.1. Reproduction and Distribution

Except where authorized in writing or permitted by law, you may not reproduce, distribute, sell, license, publicly repost, or commercially exploit protected Malu Productions materials. You may not remove ownership notices, watermarks, or attribution information, or claim our protected original work as your own.

2.2. Choreography and Cultural Performances

Original choreography, scripts, recordings, and other protected creative expression owned or licensed by Malu Productions may not be commercially reproduced, performed, recorded for redistribution, or adapted without appropriate permission, except as permitted by law. Participation as a performer, student, or guest does not independently grant such rights.

Malu Productions does not claim exclusive ownership over traditional Hawaiian or Polynesian cultural practices, customary knowledge, or traditional expressions that the company does not legally own. We respect the rights of individual cultural practitioners, composers, choreographers, photographers, performers, and other creators.

2.3. Restricted Training Materials

Our training materials and Online Learning Modules are provided for authorized educational and professional development purposes. Without permission, users may not share restricted access credentials or links, copy or redistribute training materials, publish them online, or repurpose them for competing commercial programs. Unauthorized recording, downloading, or screenshotting of restricted materials is prohibited to the extent permitted by law. We may limit access following a violation of applicable terms or access agreements.

2.4. Photography and Recordings

Photographs, videos, music, and recordings appearing on the website may be subject to copyright and other rights. Viewing them does not grant a license for commercial reuse, rebroadcast, or distribution. Professional or commercial recording and livestreaming of a Malu Productions performance may require authorization from applicable rights holders and the venue. Guest recording policies may vary by venue or event.

2.5. Name, Logos, and Branding

You may not use Malu Productions names, logos, or other protected brand identifiers in a way that falsely suggests affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or authorization. Commercial licensing requests require written permission unless the use is otherwise lawful. Not every name or mark is necessarily registered.

2.6. AI Training and Automated Collection

To the extent permitted by law, you may not systematically scrape, extract, copy, or compile protected company materials, including training documents, images, videos, recordings, and original website content, to train or fine-tune AI models, assemble commercial datasets, or create unauthorized commercial reproductions without written permission. This does not restrict authorized search-engine indexing or legally protected uses.

2.7. Confidential Business Information

Nonpublic pricing strategies, operational procedures, scheduling systems, production specifications, proposals, and internal documents may be confidential or proprietary. Any confidentiality obligations arise from the applicable agreement or law. These website Terms do not replace separate confidentiality or contractor agreements.

2.8. Permissions and Enforcement

To request permission or a license, please contact us using the details below. Rights remain with the respective owners. Malu Productions may seek removal of infringing content and pursue available legal remedies to protect rights we own or are authorized to enforce. Nothing here limits fair use or other applicable exceptions.

3. Entertainment Services and Private Bookings

Descriptions of entertainment packages, performances, demonstrations, and private events are informational. An inquiry does not guarantee availability, pricing, services, or a reservation. Bookings require written confirmation and are subject to the applicable proposal, invoice, contract, or other agreement.

Specific deposits, payments, cancellations, refunds, event requirements, and changes are governed by the applicable booking documents. Unless expressly agreed in writing, purchasing services does not transfer intellectual property ownership or commercial recording rights.

4. Communication and Correspondence

We value respectful, accurate, and timely communication with clients, performers, partners, and community members. We may respond to your requests by email, telephone, text message, website form, or other designated channel, consistent with applicable consent requirements.

4.1. Text Messaging

People who affirmatively opt in to an applicable Malu Productions text messaging program may receive messages related to that program, including scheduling updates, shift confirmations, service coordination, and event information. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance where supported by the messaging service. Consent to marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing services.

Submitting a general inquiry does not by itself authorize unrelated promotional texts. Where required, we request separate consent before sending marketing messages. Please review our Privacy Policy for information on the use of contact information.

4.2. Response Times and Booking Confirmations

We strive to reply promptly, but response times vary with schedules and operational needs. A sent message is not automatically an approved request, booking, schedule change, or confirmation. Changes to a confirmed booking require approval from an authorized company representative and remain subject to applicable agreements.

4.3. Courtesy and Contact Information

We ask everyone to communicate with professionalism and respect. We may limit nonessential communications involving threats, harassment, or abusive conduct, consistent with legal and contractual responsibilities. Please provide accurate contact information and notify us of relevant changes.

5. Events and Educational Programs

Cultural events, competitions, workshops, dance programs, and other activities may require separate registration, eligibility checks, waivers, permissions, or event-specific rules. Event schedules and details may change. Any applicable cancellation or refund terms are provided in the relevant registration documents. A parent or legal guardian must provide any legally required consent for minors.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may link to registration forms, payment processors, messaging services, video platforms, and other external providers. Those providers have their own terms and privacy policies, and Malu Productions does not control their content, services, or availability.
