Terms of Service

These terms cover brackishco.org and everything I offer through it — studio work, tours, downloads, apps, and text alerts. Brackish & Co. is a solo practice run by Jules Marsh, Camano Island, WA. Last updated August 2, 2026. Questions: jules@brackishco.org.

Using this site

You may browse, read, and share this site freely. Don't scrape it at volume, resell the content, or use it to harass anyone. I may change or retire features at any time.

Studio work

Quotes, scope, and pricing shown on the site are estimates until we both accept a written quote. Each engagement is governed by the quote you accept in your client dashboard, which controls if it conflicts with anything here. Deliverables are handed off to you and you own them.

Tours, workshops, and downloads

Tours run rain or shine unless conditions are unsafe; if I cancel, you get a full refund. Cancel more than 48 hours out for a full refund, inside 48 hours for credit toward a future walk. Sliding-scale (Driftline) rates are offered in good faith — take them if you need them.

Digital downloads are for personal use. Field guidance, foraging notes, and species information are educational, not a safety guarantee. You are responsible for your own tides, licenses, and risk.

Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. Subscriptions renew monthly until cancelled and can be cancelled any time. Support contributions are voluntary and non-refundable.

Whale Watch text alerts (SMS)

By opting in you agree to receive Whale Watch sighting alerts by text from Brackish & Co. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel at any time, HELP for help, or email whales@brackishco.org. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Full details are in the SMS Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy.

Accounts

Keep your login credentials to yourself. I may suspend accounts used for abuse, spam, or attempts to access other people's data.

Liability

The site and its content are provided as-is. To the extent allowed by law, I'm not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and total liability is limited to what you paid me in the prior three months.

Changes

I'll update this page when things change and move the date at the top. Continued use means you accept the current version.

[Field Notes: the list]

A quiet note from the tideline, now and then.

New field guides, the occasional tour date, small-batch drops, and stray observations worth passing along. No noise. Unsubscribe anytime.

[Sponsor the Driftline rate]

Keep the sliding scale alive

The Driftline rate lets me work with low-income founders, disabled-led businesses, mutual-aid groups, and BIPOC/Indigenous/queer/trans-led teams at a deep discount — sometimes 40–60% off the listed range. If you've got the means and want to help more of those projects get built, a direct gift offsets the gap and keeps the studio solvent while I do it.
