📄 TERMS & CONDITIONS

Effective Date: 04/15/2025
Site Owner: Fly More Kites (dba "FMK Agency")
Platform: Ghost CMS
CRM + MarTech Integration: HubSpot

Welcome to Classy Animal, a thought leadership publication by FMK Agency. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our site and associated services, including marketing automation and CRM integrations via HubSpot.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and agree to be bound by these terms. If you don’t agree, you shouldn’t use the site. Pretty simple.

2. Ownership & Intellectual Property

All content, visuals, and media on Classy Animal belong to FMK Agency or our contributors (unless otherwise credited). You’re welcome to quote us with attribution, but full-scale duplication is a no-go.

3. Third-Party Tools & Integration

This site is hosted on Ghost CMS and integrated with HubSpot, which means:

  • Your data may pass through HubSpot CRM.
  • You may receive personalized follow-ups based on your engagement.
  • We’ll never sell your data, but we might use it to send you something helpful or weirdly insightful.

Other embedded tools we may use: Google Analytics, Typeform, or API-connected surveys. Each comes with its own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Use of the Site

You agree to use the site for lawful purposes only. No spamming, scraping, injecting malicious code, or attempting to reverse-engineer our content engine. Also, don’t pretend to be us — that’s uncool and illegal.

5. Comments, Submissions, & Interactive Content

If you comment or submit a message, you grant us the right to publish, edit, or reuse it. You’re responsible for what you post, and we reserve the right to moderate or remove content that’s offensive, spammy, or just plain nonsense.

6. Limitation of Liability

Classy Animal provides insight and perspective, not legal, medical, or financial advice. We’re not liable for losses arising from your use of this site or acting on its content. Consult your lawyer, accountant, or that one friend who always reads the fine print.

7. Modifications

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “Effective Date” and post it here. Continued use = agreement.
