Poke Pocket Pal Website Terms of Service / Terms of Use (rev 11/13/2023)
Preamble
The purpose of this website is to provide an online place where specific artists (a.k.a. Artist[s]) may market their art to those who appreciate the work that the artists create (a.k.a. Customer[s]). This website is owned and operated by Right Foot Consulting Services Inc (a.k.a. Owner[s]). A small business incorporated in the State of Delaware, in the United States of Amercia.
The Poke Pocket Pal Website Terms of Service / Terms of Use are herein also known as "terms of service", "terms of use", or simply as "this agreement".
The owner of this website and the website itself may collectively be referred to as (we/our/us) within this agreement.
Both artists and customers shall herein collectively be referred to as (you/your/yourself) when it is deemed appropriate to promotes the readability of the text. Additinally artists and customers who use this site may be refered to as (user) either singularly, or plurally and in accordance with the Use of Case, Plurality, Posession and Aliasing section of these Terms of Service.
Use of Case, Plurality, Possession and Aliasing
The preamble of this agreement identifies multiple parties to this agreement by aliases (for example "artist", "customer", "owner", "website") While we will make every attempt within this agreement and other published policies, to make consistent use of case in aliasing each party to this agreement, the use of case with respect to a party alias shall be considered to be case insenstive and not case sensitive. For example: "Customer" shall mean the same thing as "customer", "Artist" shall mean the same thing as "artist" and so on regardless of where they appear within this agreement.
Plurality and possession, shall be context dependent to the extent that a reasonable person, fluent in English shall be able to infer the correct meaning based on commonly accepted rules of English grammar, and good judgement in the face of a possible typographic error. For example "Customers" shall be the plural of "customer", and shall refer to multiple "Customer" parties in the plural sense. Similarly, with respect to possession: "customer's" shall be a possessive alias indicating possession by sinular customer entity, and "customers'" shall be a possessive alias indicating possession by a plurality of "customer" entities.
In order to promote the readability of this agreement we leverage aliasing via pronouns. For example, in the preamble we identify the owners. Further we alias the owners with the pronouns (we/our/us) with the intention that those pronouns refer to the owners in the context of easier to read English. The pronouns are aliases for the party identifers, and shall be construed to be one and the same.
