Terms of Use
Last updated: August 12, 2026
The short version
Read anything here. Quote us with a link. Don’t scrape the site or feed it to a training run without asking. If you contact us, we’ll treat what you tell us as yours, not ours. Anything we write here is thinking, not advice — a real engagement runs on a signed agreement, not on this page.
1 · Agreement
By using www.liquidbook.com you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please don’t use the site.
2 · Using this site
You may read, quote, link to, and share what we publish. You may not:
- Scrape, bulk-download, or systematically mirror the site.
- Use our published work as training data for a machine learning model without written permission.
- Interfere with the site’s security or operation.
- Misrepresent yourself as affiliated with LiquidBook, or use our name or marks in a way that suggests endorsement.
3 · Our work, and yours
What we publish — the writing, the design, the images, the code samples — belongs to LiquidBook or to the people who made it.
Quoting us: quote a reasonable excerpt with attribution and a link to the original. That needs no permission and we welcome it. Republishing whole articles, using our images elsewhere, using our material commercially, or including it in a dataset or training corpus needs written permission first.
AI-generated images: we make many of our illustrations with generative tools. Rights in such images follow applicable law and the terms of the tools involved. LiquidBook asserts rights in the prompts, the selection, the arrangement, and any original or edited elements — and does not claim more than that.
4 · What you send us
What you tell us about your work stays yours. If you describe your organisation, your systems, or a problem you’re facing — in the contact form, by email, or in conversation — we treat it as your information. We use it to understand your situation and respond to it. We do not acquire rights in it, and we do not need any.
If you send us unsolicited general feedback about this website or our published work — ideas, suggestions, corrections — you allow us to act on it without obligation. That is a narrow permission and it exists so that a good suggestion isn’t awkward to take.
Please don’t send confidential material through a web form or an unsolicited email. If there is something sensitive to discuss, say so first and we’ll arrange a proper way to do it.
5 · What this site is, and is not
What we publish here is informational. It is analysis, opinion, and working thinking, offered as-is, some of it produced with AI assistance. It is not legal, financial, medical, or professional advice, and reading it creates no consulting relationship between us.
Engagements run on their own paperwork. If we work together, the terms of that work live in a signed agreement between us. Nothing on this page governs an engagement, and nothing on this page is an offer to enter one.
6 · How we present AI-generated material
We use generative tools in our own work and we say so. Illustrations on this site are often AI-generated; unless stated, they don’t depict real people, organisations, or events, and any resemblance is coincidental. We label them where feasible.
If you hold rights in something you believe appears here without permission, contact info@liquidbook.com and we will look into it promptly.
7 · No warranty
The site and its contents are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We work carefully and we still make mistakes; when you find one, tell us and we will fix it.
8 · Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, LiquidBook is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of this site.
9 · Indemnity
You agree to defend and hold harmless LiquidBook from claims arising out of your misuse of this site or your violation of these Terms.
10 · Governing law
LiquidBook is a sole proprietorship — Felipe Lujan-Bear, doing business as LiquidBook, in Portland, Oregon.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, and any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon.
11 · Changes
We may update these Terms. The date at the top changes when we do, and continuing to use the site after a change means accepting it.
12 · Accessibility
We build this site to be usable with a keyboard, a screen reader, and at any text size. If you hit something that doesn’t work for you, tell us at info@liquidbook.com and we will fix it — that is a commitment about attention, and it is one we would rather make than a badge.
