Terms of Use &
Privacy Policy

How this website works, what you can expect from us, and how we take care of your information.

Effective date: November 7, 2026

Terms of Use

By using samhoustonmovie.com you agree to these terms. They are written to be simple and fair to everyone who visits.

About this website

This is the companion website of the Emmy® Award‑winning documentary Sam Houston: American Statesman, Soldier, and Pioneer. It extends the film with historical context — people, places, artifacts, myths and legends, a timeline and a gallery — along with free educational resources for teachers, students and families, and a page to order the DVD.

The website is a complement to the film. It is meant to help you explore the story further, not to replace the documentary.

Educational content & historical accuracy

The content was prepared with care and is offered for general educational purposes. History is often interpreted in different ways, and new research can change what we know, so the information is provided “as is” without a guarantee that it is complete or free of errors. If you spot something that should be corrected, we would be glad to hear from you.

Artistic recreations. Some images and videos are digitally restored, colorized or created with AI-assisted tools to help visitors imagine the past. They are labeled “Artistic recreation · For educational purposes” and are illustrations, not historical records.

Intellectual property

The film, trailer, texts, photographs, videos, logos and design of this website belong to the Sam Houston Project or to their respective owners and licensors. Historical images that are in the public domain remain in the public domain.

You are welcome to view the website, share links to it and quote short passages with credit. Please do not copy, sell or re‑publish its content for commercial purposes without written permission.

Free educational materials

Materials offered for download — such as worksheets, guides, games and the Raven’s Journey production kit — are shared free of charge for personal, classroom and other non‑commercial educational use, following any additional terms included with each material.

These materials remain the property of their original authors. Please keep the credits intact and do not sell, re‑publish or modify them for commercial purposes. For any other use, please contact us.

Using the website responsibly

Please do not attempt to disrupt the website, access restricted areas, collect its content in bulk with automated tools, or submit false information through its forms. We may restrict access to anyone who misuses the website.

Links to other websites

We link to museums, historic sites, booksellers and other resources that we believe are useful. Those websites are run by others, and we are not responsible for their content, availability or policies.

Limitation of liability

The website is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, the Sam Houston Project is not liable for indirect or incidental damages arising from the use of the website or its materials. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have that cannot be limited by law.

Changes & governing law

We may update these terms from time to time; the effective date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States.

Privacy Policy

We collect as little information as possible and use it only to serve you.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us: when you order a DVD or write to us, we receive the details you provide, such as your name, email, phone number and shipping address.
  • Payment information: handled directly by our payment provider. We do not receive or store card numbers.
  • Technical information: like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical data (such as IP address and browser type) to keep the website secure and working properly.

How we use it

  • To process, ship and follow up on your orders.
  • To answer your questions and messages.
  • To keep the website safe and improve how it works.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third‑party advertising.

Who we share it with

Only with the service providers needed to run the website and complete your order — such as the payment provider, the shipping carrier and our hosting company — or when required by law. Some features load from trusted third‑party services (for example, web fonts or video players), which may receive basic technical data like your IP address.

Cookies

The website uses only the cookies needed for it to work properly. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work as expected if you do.

Children

This is an educational website for all ages, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Orders should be placed by an adult. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

How long we keep it & security

Order information is kept only as long as needed for delivery, customer support and accounting or legal requirements. The website uses a secure (SSL) connection and access to order records is restricted to authorized people. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
