The terms
These terms cover your use of the Brigantine Meridian website and any styling enquiry you make through it. Brigantine Meridian is a swimwear and beach fashion magazine run from Echizen in Fukui Prefecture. By reading the site or writing to us, you accept what follows. If a point is unclear, ask us before you rely on it.
Content and ownership
The articles, headings, summaries and page layouts on this site belong to Brigantine Meridian unless a page credits someone else. You are welcome to link to any article and to quote a short passage with a credit and a link back. Anything beyond that, including copying whole articles, republishing the archive or using our text on a commercial site, needs our written permission.
The photographs on this site are illustrative. They are chosen to match a topic and may not show the exact garment, brand or place that an article discusses. Please do not read a caption or an image as an endorsement of a product.
Editorial content is general guidance
Our articles on sizing, fabric care, colour and packing are general guidance written by the editorial desk. They are not medical, dermatological or legal advice. In particular, what we write about sun exposure, sunscreen and rash guards is a starting point for planning, not a substitute for advice from a doctor or a pharmacist, especially if you have sensitive skin or a skin condition.
Trend reporting reflects what we saw in collections and in shops at the time of writing. Collections change, and a piece we describe may no longer be on sale by the time you read about it.
Styling services
We offer a Personal Swimwear Styling Session, a Resort Wardrobe Edit, a Destination Style Brief, an Ongoing Style Subscription and Magazine Digital Access. The pages on this site describe them in general terms. They are not an offer that you can accept by clicking a button.
The process is simple. You write to us through the contact form or by email and say what you want. We reply with what the service would involve, how long it would take and what it would cost. Nothing starts, and nothing is charged, until you have read that reply and told us in writing that you want to go ahead.
A styling session or a written edit is a personal opinion. We cannot promise that a swimsuit will fit you, that a colour will suit you, or that a trip will go as planned. We aim to give clear, practical reasons for every suggestion so that you can judge it yourself.
Keeping details current
We work to keep the site accurate, but details such as availability, scheduling and the list of services can change before we update the pages. When you enquire, the written reply is what counts, not the wording on the site.
What you send us
Please send only your own messages and your own photographs, or photographs you have the right to share. Do not send material that is unlawful, that shows other people without their agreement, or that is offensive. We may decline to reply to a message that breaks these rules.
You keep ownership of what you send. By sending it, you allow us to use it for the single purpose of answering you and delivering the service you asked about. How we handle it is explained in the Privacy page.
Links to other sites
Some articles may link to shops, brands or reference pages run by other people. We do not control those sites and do not check them continuously, so the responsibility for their content, prices and policies rests with whoever runs them.
Disclaimer
To the extent Japanese law allows, Brigantine Meridian is not liable for indirect or consequential losses that arise from using this website or from relying on an article. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for intentional or grossly negligent acts, and nothing limits your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Contract Act.
Amendments
We may change these terms, for example when we add or retire a service. The version displayed on this page, with the date shown at the top, is the one that applies. If you have an open enquiry when the terms change, the version in force on the day you accepted our written reply continues to govern that service.
Applicable law
These terms are governed by the laws of Japan. If a dispute arises that cannot be settled by talking to us first, the Fukui District Court is the court of first instance, to the extent the law permits a choice.
