Terms of Service.

By visiting this site, submitting a form, or subscribing to the mailing list, you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the site.

If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you have the authority to bind it, and "you" means that company.

Hypno Labs LLC is an independent studio organized in New York. Write to 285 Nostrand Ave, Unit #494, Brooklyn, NY 11216, or use the contact form.

Hypno Labs LLC provides design, strategy, augmentation, research, software, writing, education, publications, and related professional and creative services — including, without limitation, product and interface design, brand and visual identity, design systems, positioning and messaging, product and AI strategy, automation and agent-enabled operations, video and motion work, and open research.

The studio may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any service, offering, or part of this site at any time, with or without notice. Nothing here commits the studio to continue providing anything.

These terms may change at any time. The revised version takes effect when it is posted here, and the "last updated" date at the top of this page is the notice. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it. Check back if it matters to you.

You agree not to:

• —interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its infrastructure;
• —scrape, crawl, or harvest beyond what robots.txt permits, or in a way that degrades the service for others;
• —submit forms automatically, fraudulently, or on someone else's behalf without their permission;
• —reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code except where that restriction is unenforceable by law;
• —use the site to send unsolicited communications, malware, or anything unlawful;
• —misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

Access may be refused, limited, or terminated at any time, for any reason or none.

When you send a message, subscribe, or otherwise submit information, you grant Hypno Labs LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, store, reproduce, and act on that submission for the purpose of responding to you, operating and improving the studio's services, and complying with law.

Do not send confidential or sensitive material through this site. A web form is not a secure channel and submitting one creates no duty of confidentiality. If something is confidential, say so first and the studio will arrange a way to receive it.

Subscribing is optional and is never a condition of anything else. The list has no fixed schedule, and there is no guarantee about how often it goes out or whether it continues at all. Every message carries a one-click unsubscribe link; you can also leave from the unsubscribe page or by writing to the address above.

Leaving the marketing list does not stop transactional mail — replies to a message you sent, or a confirmation of something you asked for.

The site and its contents — text, design, code, images, marks, and arrangement — belong to Hypno Labs LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You get a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to view and read it. Nothing else is granted, by implication or otherwise.

Work published as open research or open source is governed by whatever licence accompanies it, and that licence controls for that work.

Nothing on this site is an offer, quote, proposal, estimate, or contract, and nothing here creates a client relationship. Descriptions of services are illustrative, not commitments. No statement on this site — about capability, approach, timeline, outcome, or price — binds the studio.

Any actual engagement is governed by a separately executed agreement, statement of work, or order form. That document defines scope, fees, deliverables, timelines, ownership and assignment of intellectual property, confidentiality, warranties, and everything else that matters. Where a signed engagement agreement and these terms conflict, the signed agreement controls for that engagement.

The site links to and depends on services the studio does not control — hosting, email delivery, analytics, bot protection, and outbound links to other sites. Hypno Labs LLC does not endorse them, is not responsible for them, and makes no promises about their availability, content, or practices. Their terms and privacy policies govern their own services.

Some content on this site, and some output produced in the course of the studio's work, is generated or assisted by artificial intelligence, including third-party models the studio does not control.

Such output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, non-novel, or similar to output produced for others. It may reflect the limitations of the underlying model rather than the studio's judgment. It is your responsibility to review, verify, and test any AI-assisted output before relying on it, and no warranty of accuracy, originality, fitness, or non-infringement is made about it.

Nothing on this site is legal, financial, tax, accounting, investment, medical, or other professional advice, and reading it forms no professional-client relationship of any kind. Get advice from someone qualified and licensed to give it in your jurisdiction.

The site and everything on it is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hypno Labs LLC disclaims all warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranty that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or accurate.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hypno Labs LLC and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, revenue, data, business, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of this site — whether in contract, tort, or any other theory, and even if advised of the possibility.

Hypno Labs LLC's total aggregate liability for all claims relating to this site will not exceed the greater of one hundred US dollars ($100) or the amount you paid the studio in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hypno Labs LLC and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of your use of the site, your submissions, or your breach of these terms or of any law or third-party right.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration under the next section, you and Hypno Labs LLC agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Kings County, New York.

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to participate in a class action.

Except as set out below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or this site will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in New York, New York. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

You and Hypno Labs LLC each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to bring or participate in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking it, and only to the extent needed to resolve that party's own claim.

Small claims are carved out. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies.

You can opt out. If you do not want to be bound by this arbitration section, write to Hypno Labs LLC at 285 Nostrand Ave, Unit #494, Brooklyn, NY 11216, or send a message through the contact form, within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms, stating your name and that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out costs you nothing else and affects no other part of these terms.

If the class-action waiver above is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, then this entire arbitration section is void as to that claim and it proceeds in court. Class arbitration is not agreed to under any circumstances.

Access to the site may be suspended or terminated at any time, without notice and without liability. The sections that by their nature should survive — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and arbitration — survive any termination.

• —Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force and the unenforceable provision is narrowed to the minimum extent necessary.
• —No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
• —Assignment. Hypno Labs LLC may assign these terms, in whole or in part, to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. You may not assign them without written consent.
• —Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement about the site, superseding earlier understandings about it — but not any signed engagement agreement, which stands on its own per section 09.
• —Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure caused by something outside its reasonable control.
• —Notices. Notices to Hypno Labs LLC go to the postal address above, or through the contact form.

Questions about these terms go through the contact form, or by post to Hypno Labs LLC, 285 Nostrand Ave, Unit #494, Brooklyn, NY 11216.
