The Site is operated by EverThread Studio LLC, a California limited liability company, under the Lamplighter Kids and Lamplighter Kids Stories brands.

By accessing the Site, placing an order, downloading a product, creating an account, or using a Service, you agree to these Terms of Service and to the policies incorporated into them.

A child should not independently:

- Place an order
- Create an account

Third-party printing, fulfillment, and shipping providers may be used to complete an order.

7. DIGITAL PRODUCTS

A digital product is licensed, not sold as intellectual property.

After payment, we grant the purchaser a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the digital product for personal, noncommercial family use.

Unless a product page expressly permits broader use, you may:

- Download the purchased files

You may not, except where law expressly permits:

Educators, churches, schools, libraries, organizations, and commercial users should contact lamplighterkids@gmail.com before using a product beyond one household.

8. LAMPLIGHTER KIDS CLUB

Lamplighter Kids Club is currently offered through Patreon.

Patreon is responsible for its platform, payment processing, account system, billing mechanics, and platform-level terms.

The Lamplighter Kids Club page on the Site explains the membership, but member access and billing are handled through Patreon.

Membership benefits are limited to the benefits described on the active membership page or in an applicable fixed-term reward.

Ongoing membership features may change as the library, production system, and member experience develop.

We will not intentionally reduce a benefit already purchased or specifically promised for a fixed campaign or reward period without providing the notice, replacement, credit, refund, or other remedy required by the applicable terms and law.

Core public podcast and YouTube stories remain free under the current operating plan, but this statement does not require us to maintain every platform, episode, or release schedule indefinitely.

A recurring Patreon membership continues until canceled through Patreon.

A creator gift, Kickstarter reward, or prepaid access period does not automatically become a paid recurring membership unless the adult affirmatively chooses paid continuation.

9. SUPPORT CONTRIBUTIONS

The Site may allow adults to make a voluntary payment to support the creation of Lamplighter stories and related work.

Unless a specific offer states otherwise:

- A support payment is not a purchase of equity
- It does not create voting or management rights
- It is not a loan
- It does not guarantee a particular story, release, product, or schedule
- It is not represented as a tax-deductible charitable donation
- It is governed by the Refund, Return, and Cancellation Policy

Support invitations are directed to adults.

Children are never responsible for purchasing, donating, or persuading an adult to contribute.

10. CROWDFUNDING, PREORDERS, AND REWARDS

Kickstarter, BackerKit, preorder, and other campaign transactions may be governed by:

- The campaign page
- Reward descriptions
- Campaign updates
- Surveys
- Platform terms
- Fulfillment communications
- Applicable law

Crowdfunding involves project and production risk.

Images, prototypes, plans, schedules, specifications, and delivery estimates may change during development.

Any fixed campaign promise remains subject to its applicable campaign terms and legal obligations.

When campaign-specific terms conflict with these general Terms, the campaign-specific terms control for that reward or transaction.

Subject to any non-waivable right to bring a claim elsewhere, legal proceedings relating to these Terms will be brought in a court with jurisdiction in Orange County, California.
