HIGH STANDARD
TERMS OF USE
Welcome to High Standard. We’re glad you’re here.
High Standard is an independent film and culture platform created by Neue Alchemy. We publish stories, reviews, recommendations, and information about movies, screenings, and the culture surrounding cinema.
By using High Standard, you agree to the following terms.
1. Using High Standard
High Standard is intended for personal, lawful use.
You’re welcome to browse, read, discover films, save screenings, and participate in the community using the features we make available.
Please don’t misuse the platform, interfere with its operation, attempt to access other people’s accounts, or use automated tools to scrape or reproduce our content without permission.
We may restrict access when necessary to protect the platform and its users.
2. Screenings, tickets & reservations
The Pass helps you discover advance screenings, premieres, repertory programs, and other film events.
We don’t operate the theaters, issue admission passes, sell tickets, or manage third‑party reservations.
When you follow a link to a screening organizer or ticketing provider, their terms and policies apply.
Screening information, including dates, times, locations, availability, and admission requirements, may change.
A reservation, RSVP, or screening pass does not necessarily guarantee admission. Some events operate on a first-come, first-served basis or have additional entry requirements.
Always confirm the details with the organizer before attending.
3. Editorial content
Our articles, reviews, recommendations, and other editorial materials reflect the perspectives of their respective authors.
We work to provide accurate information, but opinions are subjective, and information may change.
Nothing published on High Standard should be interpreted as a guarantee of a particular experience, product, or event.
4. Accounts & community participation
Some features require an account.
You’re responsible for activity associated with your account and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure.
If you submit a review, screening tip, comment, or other contribution, you agree not to post material that is unlawful, deliberately misleading, abusive, infringing, or otherwise harmful.
We may review, moderate, remove, or decline to publish submissions that violate these terms.
You retain ownership of your original contributions. By submitting content for publication, you grant High Standard a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, format, and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the platform.
5. Books, products & affiliate links
High Standard may recommend books, merchandise, and other products available through third‑party retailers.
Some links may earn us a commission when you make a purchase.
Unless otherwise stated, purchases are completed directly with the retailer, and that retailer is responsible for payment processing, fulfillment, returns, and customer service.
Product availability, pricing, and purchase terms are determined by the retailer.
6. Intellectual property
High Standard’s original writing, design, branding, and other creative materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Film titles, artwork, photography, trademarks, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective rights holders.
You may not reproduce or commercially exploit our original content without permission, except as permitted by law.
7. Third-party websites
High Standard links to external websites, including theaters, studios, festivals, ticketing providers, and retailers.
We don’t control these websites or guarantee their availability, accuracy, security, or services.
Your interactions with those providers are governed by their respective terms and policies.
8. Availability of the service
We’re continually improving High Standard.
Features may change, become temporarily unavailable, or be discontinued.
We don’t guarantee uninterrupted access or that every listing, article, or feature will always be available or error‑free.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, High Standard and its operator are not responsible for losses arising from inaccurate third-party screening information, canceled events, unavailable passes, external purchases, or interruptions to the service.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as High Standard evolves.
When we make changes, we’ll update the date shown above. For material changes, we’ll provide additional notice when required by law.
Continued use of the platform after updated terms take effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.
