By visiting, browsing, reading, listening to, viewing, linking to, or otherwise using fysfee.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and the FYSFEE Privacy Policy .

These terms apply to all visitors, readers, viewers, potential customers, business contacts, media representatives, and other users of the website.

Separate products, businesses, websites, memberships, publications, services, and payment platforms may have additional terms. Those additional terms apply when you use the relevant service.

Who We Are

FYSFEE is a personal publication, creative-project hub, and public website created by Adam Hebert and operated through Epoch Company in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The website may feature or link to projects, brands, businesses, publications, organizations, and creative properties that include:

• FYSFEE and FYSFEE Magazine
• Epoch Company and its related brands
• Epoch Moment
• EAF Publishing
• Engaged AF Magazine and EAF Venue Magazines
• Smilefire Records
• I’m Broken, I’m OK
• Colorado Icons
• Know Where Project

A project appearing on FYSFEE doesn’t necessarily mean every product, transaction, service, or organization is operated through fysfee.com itself.

Eligibility and Mature Content

FYSFEE is intended primarily for an adult audience.

The website may contain profanity, mature language, discussion of relationships, betrayal, divorce, mental health, sexuality, business failures, grief, trauma, music lyrics, personal stories, cultural commentary, and other adult themes.

By using the site, you confirm that you are legally permitted to access the content in your location. Parents and guardians are responsible for determining whether the website is appropriate for minors under their supervision.

The Nature of FYSFEE Content

FYSFEE contains a mixture of personal writing, creative nonfiction, opinion, editorial commentary, storytelling, photography, business observations, humor, artistic expression, fictional characters, music, publishing projects, cultural commentary, recommendations, and experimental work.

Some content reflects personal experience and perspective. It should not be interpreted as a complete or objective record of every person, event, company, relationship, or circumstance discussed.

Creative work may combine, alter, compress, anonymize, dramatize, fictionalize, or reinterpret events and experiences to protect privacy, create artistic structure, or communicate a broader emotional truth.

Publication on FYSFEE doesn’t mean the content will remain unchanged forever. Articles, descriptions, links, project information, pricing references, opinions, and creative work may be revised, expanded, corrected, removed, or replaced.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the original content and creative expression appearing on FYSFEE is owned by Adam Hebert, Epoch Company, the applicable related brand, or another identified rights holder.

Protected or proprietary material may include:

• Articles, essays, stories, and written copy
• Books, chapters, magazine pages, and publication designs
• Photographs, videos, graphics, illustrations, and artwork
• Lyrics, compositions, recordings, arrangements, and audio
• Fictional artists, characters, biographies, and visual identities
• Logos, brand elements, slogans, and distinctive trade dress
• Website design, page layouts, graphics, and custom code
• Project names, product descriptions, and original concepts as expressed
• Downloadable materials and digital products
• Collections, compilations, and editorial arrangements

Third-party names, logos, media, platforms, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance doesn’t imply ownership by FYSFEE or endorsement unless expressly stated.

What You May Do

You may use FYSFEE for lawful, personal, noncommercial purposes.

Unless a page says otherwise, you may:

• Read and view publicly available content
• Listen to publicly available embedded music or audio
• Share a direct link to a FYSFEE page or article
• Quote a limited portion for commentary, criticism, or discussion
• Refer to a project by name while accurately identifying the source
• Print a page for your personal, noncommercial reference
• Contact FYSFEE about licensing or authorized reuse

Any quotation or reference should preserve the meaning of the original material and provide clear attribution to FYSFEE or the applicable creator.

Sharing a link is encouraged. Reposting the full article, photograph, song, magazine, chapter, or creative work is not.

What You May Not Do

You may not use FYSFEE or its content to:

• Violate any law, regulation, court order, or third-party right
• Copy or republish full articles without permission
• Download, copy, or reuse photographs without permission
• Reproduce or distribute books, magazines, music, or recordings
• Sell, sublicense, package, or commercially exploit the content
• Remove attribution, copyright notices, watermarks, or credits
• Misrepresent FYSFEE content as your own work
• Impersonate Adam Hebert, FYSFEE, Epoch Company, or a related brand
• Create confusingly similar accounts, brands, domains, or products
• Use fictional Smilefire Records artists as though they belong to you
• Use the website to harass, threaten, defame, stalk, or exploit anyone
• Submit malware, harmful code, spam, or automated attacks
• Attempt unauthorized access to the website or connected systems
• Interfere with website security, performance, or availability
• Scrape or harvest contact information for unsolicited marketing
• Use automated tools to copy or reconstruct substantial portions of the site
• Use the content to train, fine-tune, populate, or improve a commercial AI system without written permission
• Use personal stories or identifying details to harass people discussed in the work

AI-Assisted Creative Work

Some FYSFEE and related-project content may be created with the assistance of artificial-intelligence tools, generative software, editing tools, music-production systems, design platforms, or other digital technology.

AI assistance may be used for:

• Developing or refining visual concepts
• Generating or editing images
• Producing vocals, instrumentation, or musical arrangements
• Organizing, editing, or developing written material
• Exploring page layouts and design directions
• Creating fictional characters or artistic presentations
• Supporting research, production, or technical workflows

AI-assisted work may also include substantial human writing, selection, editing, composition, direction, revision, photography, design, arrangement, and creative judgment.

The use of generative technology doesn’t grant visitors permission to copy, reproduce, redistribute, modify, resell, or commercially exploit the resulting work.

Unless expressly identified as a real individual, fictional musicians, narrators, artistic characters, performers, and visual representations should be understood as creative works rather than actual recording artists or public figures.

Messages, Ideas, and Submissions

You may contact FYSFEE for legitimate editorial, media, publishing, creative, partnership, licensing, or business purposes.

Sending a message doesn’t create a confidential, fiduciary, employment, partnership, agency, attorney-client, or professional advisory relationship.

Don’t send confidential business plans, trade secrets, unpublished manuscripts, protected concepts, sensitive personal information, or material you aren’t authorized to share unless confidentiality has been separately agreed to in writing.

EAF Publishing isn’t currently accepting unsolicited outside manuscripts. Smilefire Records isn’t accepting traditional artist demos or outside music submissions.

Ideas and Similar Concepts

FYSFEE and its related brands continuously develop articles, publications, books, music, businesses, products, services, marketing ideas, and creative concepts.

You acknowledge that an idea you submit may be similar to something already being developed independently. Sending an unsolicited idea doesn’t create ownership in future FYSFEE work or require payment, attribution, confidentiality, or use of your submission.

Permission to Respond and Route Messages

By sending a message, you permit FYSFEE to retain it, respond to it, and forward it to the related Epoch Company brand, contractor, team member, organization, or service responsible for handling the inquiry.

External Websites and Services

FYSFEE may link to or embed websites, products, music services, video platforms, social networks, publications, payment processors, businesses, organizations, and other third-party resources.

These may include:

FYSFEE doesn’t control external services and isn’t responsible for their content, availability, security, pricing, products, performance, privacy practices, terms, or actions.

Your use of an external website is governed by the terms and policies of that destination.

Products, Payments, and Transactions

FYSFEE may link to books, music, subscriptions, memberships, custom songs, advertising, photography, video services, digital products, donations, merchandise, publications, or other paid offerings.

Many purchases are completed through a separate website, related business, retailer, payment processor, subscription service, or ecommerce provider.

The price, refund policy, cancellation rules, delivery terms, revision policy, service agreement, subscription terms, and other transaction-specific conditions displayed at the point of purchase control that transaction.

FYSFEE doesn’t guarantee the continued availability, inventory, pricing, delivery date, or functionality of products sold by outside providers.

Any conflict regarding a service provided by a related business, including Epoch Moment, EAF Magazines, or Smilefire Records, may also be governed by that business’s separate contract, payment terms, or policies.

Affiliate Links, Sponsorships, and Compensation

FYSFEE may occasionally feature recommendations, reviews, sponsored material, referral links, affiliate links, complimentary products, business relationships, or other compensated content.

When FYSFEE receives money, a commission, a complimentary product, a discount, another benefit, or has a material relationship that could affect how a reasonable reader evaluates a recommendation, the relationship should be disclosed clearly near the relevant content.

Using an affiliate link may result in FYSFEE or a related project receiving compensation without increasing the price paid by the visitor, unless the relevant disclosure states otherwise.

Compensation doesn’t guarantee a positive opinion. Any review or recommendation should reflect the actual opinion and experience of the person making it.

No Professional Advice

FYSFEE content is provided for general informational, editorial, personal, educational, artistic, and entertainment purposes.

Nothing on the website should be interpreted as:

• Legal advice
• Medical or mental-health advice
• Financial, tax, investment, or accounting advice
• Employment or human-resources advice
• Relationship counseling
• A professional diagnosis
• A substitute for advice from a qualified professional

Personal stories describe individual experiences. Business articles describe perspectives, lessons, examples, or strategies that may not apply to your business or circumstances.

You are responsible for obtaining appropriate professional advice and independently evaluating decisions that may affect your health, finances, legal rights, relationships, safety, or business.

No Guaranteed Results

FYSFEE may discuss business growth, creative production, publishing, advertising, marketing, photography, music, personal development, relationships, rebuilding, or other experiences.

Examples, case studies, personal outcomes, revenue references, audience growth, bookings, conversions, reviews, or other results don’t guarantee that another person will receive the same outcome.

Results depend on many factors outside FYSFEE’s control, including individual effort, timing, audience, market conditions, pricing, experience, decision-making, resources, and circumstances.

You remain responsible for your own actions, decisions, purchases, investments, communications, and use of information found on the website.

Website Availability and Changes

FYSFEE may change, suspend, remove, reorganize, restrict, or discontinue any part of the website at any time.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of:

• Hosting interruptions
• Maintenance or updates
• Security incidents
• Plugin or theme errors
• External-service failures
• Expired, changed, or removed third-party links
• Events outside reasonable control

FYSFEE doesn’t guarantee that every page, link, embed, download, feature, publication, audio player, or external service will remain continuously available.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FYSFEE and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

FYSFEE makes no warranty that:

• The website will always be available or error-free
• Every statement will remain current forever
• External links will remain active
• Embedded media will function on every device
• The website will be free from all harmful components
• The content will meet every visitor’s expectations
• Any particular result will follow from using the information

FYSFEE may correct errors when discovered but doesn’t guarantee that every mistake, outdated reference, broken link, or technological issue will be corrected immediately.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FYSFEE, Epoch Company, Adam Hebert, related brands, contractors, contributors, service providers, and representatives won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or connected to your use of the website.

This includes alleged losses involving:

• Revenue, profits, opportunities, or business
• Data, files, devices, or accounts
• Reputation or relationships
• Reliance on website content
• Purchases from external providers
• Third-party websites or embedded services
• Website interruption or technical failure
• Unauthorized access outside reasonable control

Where liability can’t legally be excluded, total liability arising solely from your use of the free public website will be limited to the greater of the amount you directly paid to FYSFEE for the specific website service giving rise to the claim during the preceding twelve months or one hundred United States dollars.

Some jurisdictions don’t allow every exclusion or limitation. In those jurisdictions, limitations apply only to the extent legally permitted.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FYSFEE, Epoch Company, Adam Hebert, related brands, contractors, contributors, representatives, and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and reasonable legal expenses arising from:

• Your unlawful or unauthorized use of the website
• Your violation of these terms
• Your infringement of another person’s rights
• Content or material you submit without authority
• Your misuse or commercial exploitation of FYSFEE content
• Your attempt to harm, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the website

This section doesn’t require indemnification for conduct that applicable law prevents FYSFEE from shifting to a visitor.

Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Before filing a legal claim related to the website, you agree to send a written description of the issue and allow a reasonable opportunity to discuss an informal resolution.

Unless applicable law requires otherwise, legal proceedings arising directly from these terms or the use of fysfee.com will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in El Paso County, Colorado.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking immediate relief where necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, website security, or prevent imminent harm.

Changes to These Terms

These Terms of Service may be updated when FYSFEE changes, new projects are added, website functionality changes, transactions move onto the website, or legal and operational requirements develop.

The effective date at the top of the page will be revised when material updates are published.

Your continued use of the website after revised terms are posted means the current version applies to future use.

Severability

If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted.

No Waiver

A failure to enforce one provision doesn’t waive the right to enforce it or another provision later.

Entire Agreement

These terms and the Privacy Policy form the general agreement governing use of fysfee.com. Separate written contracts and transaction-specific terms remain controlling for the services to which they apply.
