The MultiplaneNotes on Studio Ghibli

Legal

Terms of Use

The rules for using this site, in plain English, without a paragraph of capital letters.

Acceptable useLiabilityGoverning law

These terms govern your use of themultiplane.com. By reading the site you accept them. They are short because the site is simple: it publishes articles, and that is all it does.

Who publishes this

The site is published by Thomas Sonnabend, an individual, at 8010 Via Sardinia St, Estero, FL 33928, United States, reachable at contact@themultiplane.com. There is no company behind it.

What you may do

  • Read everything, freely, without an account.
  • Link to any page. No permission needed, and no attribution format is imposed.
  • Quote short passages with attribution and a link, as ordinary fair use allows.
  • Print a page for your own use.

What you may not do

  • Republish articles in whole or in substantial part, including translated, rewritten or machine-paraphrased versions presented as original work.
  • Scrape the site at a volume that degrades it for other readers.
  • Present the site, or content taken from it, as officially connected to Studio Ghibli, the Ghibli Museum or Ghibli Park.
  • Use the site to break the law, or attempt to interfere with its operation or security.

Intellectual property

The original writing, the original artwork, the layout and the code of this site belong to the publisher named above. Trademarks, film titles, characters and any imagery belonging to Studio Ghibli or to the operators of the Ghibli Museum and Ghibli Park remain the property of their respective owners and are referred to here descriptively, for the purpose of commentary and criticism. See the disclaimer.

If you believe material here infringes your rights, write to the address above with enough detail to identify the material and where it appears. Substantiated notices are acted on promptly.

Accuracy

The site is written carefully and it will still contain errors. Anything describing an operator's hours, admission arrangements, facilities or plans is a description of what that operator published on a particular date, and such things change frequently and without notice. Do not make travel decisions on the strength of a page here; check the operator directly. Where a page carries a "last reviewed" date, that is the date the information was checked, not a guarantee that it remains current.

External links

Where the site names another organisation, that organisation controls its own content and is responsible for it. Naming it is not an endorsement, and no responsibility is accepted for anything on a site that is not this one.

Advertising

This site is funded by advertising. Advertisements are served by third parties and their presence is not an endorsement by me of any advertised product or service. No advertiser has any editorial influence over what is published. Transactions you enter into with an advertiser are between you and that advertiser.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. No promise is made that the site will be available without interruption or free of error.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the publisher is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive losses arising from your use of this site, including anything arising from reliance on information published here. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Privacy

Personal information is handled as described in the privacy policy and the cookie policy, which form part of these terms.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The reviewed date below changes when they are, and continued use of the site means the current version applies.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of your own local law.

Contact

Questions about these terms go to contact@themultiplane.com, or by post to the address above.
