Terms of Use

Website Use

You may use this website for lawful informational, professional and participation-related purposes. You may not attempt to disrupt the website, gain unauthorized access, submit false or misleading information, or use the site in a way that infringes the rights of MELANIN FASHION WEEK™ or others.

Submissions and Opportunities

Submitting a designer interest form, joining the model casting network, joining the creative collaborator network, requesting access, contacting MFW, or otherwise submitting information does not guarantee selection, participation, casting, paid work, credentials, admission, seating, invitation or any other opportunity unless MELANIN FASHION WEEK™ confirms it separately in writing.

Accuracy of Information

You are responsible for ensuring information you submit is accurate and that you have the right to provide any portfolio links, images, credits, social media profiles or other materials included with your submission.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, this website's branding, text, graphics, layouts and original content are owned by or used with permission by MELANIN FASHION WEEK™ and may not be reproduced, distributed or commercially exploited without permission. Third-party names, images and creative works remain the property of their respective owners.

Submitted Materials

By submitting links or materials for consideration, you represent that you are authorized to share them for review. Submission alone does not transfer ownership of your creative work to MELANIN FASHION WEEK™. Any broader usage rights for selected work, campaigns, events or collaborations should be addressed separately as applicable.

Event and Program Information

Dates, venues, lineups, programming, access procedures and other future-facing information may change. Information marked “To Be Announced,” “Coming Soon” or “Forthcoming” is not a confirmed commitment until formally announced by MELANIN FASHION WEEK™.

Third-Party Links and Services

The website may link to third-party sites or rely on third-party hosting, form or analytics services. MELANIN FASHION WEEK™ is not responsible for the content, availability or privacy practices of unaffiliated third-party websites.

Disclaimer

The website is provided on an “as available” basis for general information and participation inquiries. To the extent permitted by applicable law, MELANIN FASHION WEEK™ does not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error free or suitable for every purpose.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, MELANIN FASHION WEEK™ will not be liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising solely from use of, or inability to use, this website.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use as the website, programming or participation processes change. Continued use of the website after revised terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
