Terms of Service
Effective October 8, 2026
These terms apply to your use of brightbayou.com and to advertising purchased from Bright Bayou Media LLC ("Bright Bayou Media", "we", "us"). By using this website or buying advertising from us, you agree to them.
Use of this website
You may view and link to this website for lawful purposes. You may not interfere with its operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access to it, or copy its content for commercial use without our written permission.
Intellectual property
The content of this website and of our publications, including text, design, logos and artwork, belongs to Bright Bayou Media LLC or its licensors. Advertisers keep ownership of the materials they supply and give us permission to publish them in the placements they have bought.
Advertising
We sell advertising in our print and online publications to businesses. The specific placement, issue dates, price and payment schedule for each purchase are set out in the advertiser's insertion order or contract. If an insertion order or contract conflicts with these terms, the insertion order or contract controls.
- Payment. Invoices are payable by the due date shown on the invoice. We accept payment by card, bank transfer or check.
- Materials. Advertisers are responsible for the content of their ads and confirm they have the right to use everything they supply. We may decline or remove advertising that is unlawful, misleading or unsuitable for our readers.
- Deadlines. Each issue has a space-reservation deadline and a materials deadline, which we provide when the space is booked.
Cancellations and refunds
Unless your insertion order or contract says otherwise:
- An advertisement cancelled in writing before the space-reservation deadline for its issue will not be charged, and any amount already paid for that advertisement will be refunded.
- An advertisement cancelled after the space-reservation deadline is charged in full and is not refundable, because the space has been committed and production has started.
- If we make an error that materially affects an advertisement, or fail to publish it, we will at our option run a corrected advertisement in the next available issue or credit or refund the price of that advertisement.
To cancel or request a refund, email accounting@brightbayou.com. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method.
Links to other websites
Our website and publications link to businesses, events and other websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, products or services.
Disclaimer
This website and our publications are provided "as is". Event dates, prices, hours and other details come from third parties and can change, so please confirm them with the venue before making plans. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Bright Bayou Media LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use of this website or our publications, and our total liability in connection with any advertisement is limited to the amount paid for that advertisement.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
Changes
We may update these terms by posting a new version on this page with a new effective date. Changes do not alter insertion orders or contracts already signed.
