Terms Of Use

Effective Date: May 18, 2026
Last Updated: May 18, 2026

Welcome to dreamsofpenguins.com (the “Site”), the official website for The Dreams of the Penguins, a children’s picture book published in connection with Cloud 9 Press (“Cloud 9,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Site and any products or services offered through it.

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. About the Site and the Book

The Site provides information about The Dreams of the Penguins, a children’s picture book that introduces young readers and families to gentle daily habits of self-care — caring for the Foot, Body, and Soul. Through the Site you can learn about the book, view previews, sign up for updates, and purchase or pre-order the book.

2. Important Wellness Notice

The Dreams of the Penguins is a children’s picture book intended to support family wellness conversations and gentle daily rituals. It is not medical advice, therapy, diagnosis, or a substitute for professional health care.

The practices described in the book — including massage, breathing, stretching, healthy habits, and other gentle self-care rituals — are intended as age-appropriate family activities, not as treatment for any condition.

Parents and caregivers should:

  • Use their own judgment about what is appropriate for their child
  • Consult a pediatrician or other qualified healthcare provider for any medical concern, condition, or question
  • Supervise children during any physical activity described in the book
  • Stop any practice that causes a child discomfort

Cloud 9 makes no medical or therapeutic claims about the book or the practices it describes.

3. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including text, illustrations, photographs, characters (including the Penguin Family and “Baby Pax”), logos, designs, layouts, and the book The Dreams of the Penguins itself — is owned by Cloud 9 or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or commercially exploit any of this content without our prior written permission.

You may share Site content for personal, non-commercial purposes (for example, linking to the Site on social media or sharing a single page image with attribution), as long as you do not alter the content and you provide appropriate credit to Cloud 9 and The Dreams of the Penguins.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CLOUD 9 AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR THE BOOK, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID, IF ANY, TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO PARTS OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cloud 9 and its officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

[Note for attorney review: Cloud 9 may wish to consider an arbitration and class-action-waiver clause in place of court jurisdiction. This decision has real trade-offs and should be made with counsel.]

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after we post changes means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason — including violation of these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
