These terms of use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of mdmfilmreview.pro (the “Site”), published by Velvet Frame Pte. Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “our”) under the editorial name Velvet Frame. The Site offers criticism, context, and reference material about Jerry Ciccoritti’s film Million Dollar Murder (also known as Murder in the Hamptons). By visiting the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.

Editorial nature of the Site

The Site is an independent journal of film commentary. It is not an official website of the filmmakers, Muse Entertainment, Lifetime, Amazon, Prime Video, or any distributor. Review scores, pull quotes, scene notes, and the optional reader poll reflect editorial judgment and informal reader sentiment stored locally in browsers — not verified box-office data or studio positioning.

Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, investment, or professional advice. Descriptions of real events that inspired the film are drawn from public reporting and dramatized screenplay choices; they are offered for narrative context, not as a substitute for court records or authoritative journalism.

Eligibility and account-free access

The Site does not require registration. You represent that you have legal capacity to enter these Terms and that your use complies with applicable law in your jurisdiction. Where local law restricts access to crime-related material, you are responsible for compliance.

Acceptable use

You may read, link to, and share URLs to the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes with appropriate attribution. You may not:

• Use automated means to scrape, harvest, or mirror substantial portions of the Site in a way that degrades service for others or misrepresents our editorial voice;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to hosting accounts, source repositories, or non-public directories;
• Introduce malware, probe for vulnerabilities, or interfere with TLS, DNS, or caching layers;
• Frame the Site within another property in a manner that suggests sponsorship or official partnership without our written consent;
• Use our name, logo, or review text to imply endorsement of unrelated products, political campaigns, or investment schemes;
• Harass our editors or send unlawful, threatening, or spam content through email or other channels listed on the contact page.

We may suspend or block access, including at the network level, for conduct that violates these Terms or poses risk to infrastructure or readers.

User conduct and correspondence

If you contact the desk, you agree to provide accurate contact details and to refrain from transmitting confidential information that is not necessary for your inquiry. We may preserve correspondence to respond, maintain institutional memory, or establish a record if a dispute arises. Tone should remain civil; we reserve the right to ignore abusive mail.

Intellectual property

Original review prose, layout, graphics created for mdmfilmreview.pro, and the Velvet Frame mark as used on the Site are owned or licensed by Velvet Frame Pte. Ltd. and protected by copyright and trademark law. You receive a limited, revocable license to view the Site in a browser and to share links pointing to our pages.

Film titles, character names, dialogue excerpts used in fair comment, studio logos, poster art, and still frames remain the property of their respective rights holders. Third-party photographs credited on the Site belong to their authors and are used under license or fair use for criticism. Nothing in these Terms transfers film rights or merchandising permissions to you.

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, contact [email protected] with identification of the work, the material at issue, and a good-faith statement. We will review and respond consistent with applicable notice-and-takedown frameworks.

Outbound links and third-party services

The Site contains links to external resources, prominently Amazon for viewing or purchasing the film, and Google services for fonts and an embedded map on the contact page. Linked sites are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control availability, pricing, subtitles, regional restrictions, or refund policies on Amazon or any other retailer.

Inclusion of a link is not an endorsement of every product or policy of the linked site. When you leave mdmfilmreview.pro, you do so at your own discretion.

Amazon links and commercial relationships

“Watch on Amazon” buttons and similar references are provided for reader convenience. Velvet Frame Pte. Ltd. is not the merchant of record. Any transaction you complete on Amazon is solely between you and Amazon. See our affiliate disclosure and purchases & refunds page for additional detail on editorial independence and where to seek help with billing issues.

No warranty

The Site and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy. Film credits, runtime figures, and plot summaries are compiled carefully but may contain errors or become outdated after publication. Opinion passages are subjective by definition.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of harmful components, though we apply reasonable hosting and transport practices described in our privacy policy.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Velvet Frame Pte. Ltd., its directors, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from:

• Your access to or inability to access the Site;
• Any conduct or content of third parties, including Amazon or Google;
• Unauthorized access to or alteration of transmissions or data;
• Reliance on editorial opinions, poll results, or factual summaries on the Site;
• Purchases or streaming experiences initiated through outbound links.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability for claims relating to the Site shall not exceed one hundred Singapore dollars (SGD 100) or the minimum amount required to be upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; in those places, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Velvet Frame Pte. Ltd. from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, violation of these Terms, or infringement of third-party rights resulting from your actions.

Modifications to the Site and Terms

We may change layout, remove features, update review text, or revise these Terms at any time. Material changes to Terms will be reflected in the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance unless applicable law requires explicit consent. We may archive prior versions on request where feasible.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would apply another jurisdiction’s substantive law. You agree that the courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site, subject to mandatory consumer protections that cannot be waived in your country of residence.

Before filing formal proceedings, you agree to contact us at [email protected] to attempt good-faith resolution. Nothing prevents either party from seeking interim injunctive relief where unauthorized use threatens intellectual property or security.

Severability and waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the privacy policy, cookie policy, and affiliate disclosure, constitute the entire agreement between you and Velvet Frame Pte. Ltd. regarding use of the Site and supersede prior oral or written understandings on the same subject.
