Terms of Use

Last updated: 24 August 2026.

By accessing and using marionetes.com.br you agree to the conditions below. If you do not agree with any of them, please do not use the site.

1. Purpose of the site

Marionetes.com.br is an independent, informational site about the art of puppetry, run by a private individual. It publishes content on history, technique, applied research and original handmade work, and presents pieces produced in the workshop.

2. Intellectual property

All texts, photographs of original pieces, illustrations, visual identity, source code and content organisation are protected by Brazilian Law 9.610/1998 (Copyright) and international treaties, and belong to the site's maintainer unless stated otherwise.

Third-party images occasionally used on historical pages are reproduced under a compatible licence and identified in the image credits section, with authorship and licence.

3. Permitted use of content

  • Permitted: reading, printing for personal use, quoting short passages with attribution and a link to the source page, and non-commercial educational use with credit retained.
  • Not permitted: reproducing entire pages or sections on other websites; republishing texts with or without machine translation; using photographs of original pieces in advertisements, catalogues or commercial materials; and mass scraping of the content to train commercial systems without authorisation.

Specific permissions may be requested through the contact page.

4. Informational content, no guaranteed outcome

Content is offered in good faith, researched and reviewed, but without warranty of absolute accuracy, completeness or permanent currency. In particular:

  • Historical texts reflect the state of knowledge and may involve points disputed among researchers.
  • Technical texts describe workshop practice; execution involves sharp tools and is the responsibility of the person using them. Take safety precautions and supervise children.
  • The science section is popular science, not professional medical, psychological or pedagogical advice.

5. Products and transactions

Pieces shown in the showroom are handmade; variations in colour, grain and expression between examples are inherent to the process and are not defects. Where a sale takes place through an external platform, that platform's terms, deadlines and return policies also apply.

6. Advertising

The site displays Google AdSense advertising, labelled as such. The advertiser and the content of each ad are the responsibility of the advertiser and the ad network; display does not imply endorsement. Ads load only with your consent, as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. External links

Links to third-party sites are offered as references. We do not control their content, availability or privacy practices and are not responsible for them.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the site's maintainer is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use or inability to use the site, nor for temporary unavailability, hosting failures or typographical errors.

9. User conduct

You may not use the site for unlawful purposes, attempt to compromise its security, reverse-engineer its components, or send offensive content, spam or material infringing third-party rights through the contact form.

10. Changes and applicable law

These terms may be updated at any time, with the new date published on this page. Brazilian law applies, with jurisdiction in the maintainer's domicile, subject to consumer protection rules.
