The Company’s intellectual property includes, without limitation, all published and unpublished music, sound recordings, compositions, lyrics, arrangements, remixes, demos, alternate versions, stems, books, manuscripts, chapters, outlines, scripts, characters, fictional worlds, lore, dialogue, storylines, artwork, photographs, audiovisual works, animations, designs, logos, websites, promotional materials, voice recordings, sound effects, databases, metadata, software, derivative works, works in progress, and any other original works now existing or developed in the future.

6.5 Trademarks

Company names, brand names, character names, logos, slogans, graphics, trade dress, and related identifiers may be trademarks or proprietary branding. You may not use them in a manner likely to cause confusion, suggest sponsorship, imply endorsement, or create unauthorized commercial association.

7. Official Personas and Fictional Properties

Official Personas are creative entertainment identities and may be portrayed, voiced, written, administered, depicted, or supported by one or more authorized collaborators.

A specific Official Persona is not necessarily tied to one individual performer, administrator, voice actor, writer, or contributor. The Company may rotate, reassign, replace, recast, or combine contributors for continuity, availability, safety, language, production, or business reasons.

Communications or content presented in the voice of an Official Persona should not be interpreted as a disclosure of the legal identity, private life, location, age, personal history, or individual opinions of a specific collaborator.

Users may not impersonate an Official Persona, register confusingly similar accounts or domains, falsely claim authorization, or use an Official Persona in commercial, deceptive, harassing, defamatory, or misleading activity.

8. Permitted Use

Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Website and Services for lawful, personal, and non-commercial purposes.

10. User-Generated Content and Submissions

10.1 Your Responsibility

If you submit comments, messages, reviews, photographs, artwork, videos, audio, links, feedback, or other material, you are solely responsible for that material and represent that you have the necessary rights to submit it.

10.2 License for Submitted Material

To the extent necessary for the Company to host, display, moderate, reproduce, format, distribute, promote, or respond to material you submit through an official Company channel, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that material for those purposes, subject to applicable law and any separate written terms.

10.3 Prohibited Submissions

You may not submit unlawful, infringing, defamatory, threatening, fraudulent, obscene, exploitative, privacy-invasive, malicious, or impersonating material.

10.4 Unsolicited Creative Ideas

Unless expressly requested under separate written submission terms, the Company does not accept confidential creative ideas, scripts, songs, story concepts, business plans, or proprietary materials.

Unsolicited submissions are not treated as confidential and do not create an obligation to review, compensate, credit, return, or use them.

10.5 Moderation Rights

The Company may remove, hide, restrict, edit for formatting, archive, report, or decline to publish any User submission, subject to applicable law.

11. Music, Artwork, Books, and Media

All music, sound recordings, lyrics, videos, photographs, artwork, books, manuscripts, chapters, fictional worlds, scripts, characters, and related media are provided for authorized viewing, listening, reading, purchase, or licensing only.

Streaming access does not transfer ownership. Purchasing a digital file, physical product, subscription, or download does not grant synchronization, public-performance, broadcast, resale, reproduction, adaptation, merchandising, training-data, or commercial-use rights unless expressly stated in writing.

You may not separate audio stems, extract vocals, isolate images, remove metadata, create unauthorized editions, or redistribute Content through file-sharing, social-media, video, streaming, marketplace, or other services.

12. Products, Purchases, and Digital Goods

12.1 Product Information

The Company may offer or link to music, merchandise, memberships, digital downloads, physical media, books, artwork, tickets, licenses, apparel, accessories, or other products and services.

Product descriptions, images, colors, measurements, sizing, availability, features, specifications, prices, and other information are provided in good faith but may change without notice.

Product colors and appearance may vary slightly depending on displays, devices, printing methods, manufacturing processes, materials, and fulfillment providers.

12.2 Orders

Submission of an order does not necessarily constitute final acceptance by the Company.

The Company may accept, reject, limit, hold, or cancel an order where permitted by law, including in connection with suspected fraud, pricing errors, inventory or production issues, payment problems, inaccurate information, legal restrictions, fulfillment limitations, technical errors, or policy violations.

Customers are responsible for reviewing product selections, sizes, colors, quantities, shipping addresses, and other order information before completing checkout.

12.3 Pricing, Payment, and Taxes

Prices are displayed in the currency shown at checkout. Applicable taxes, shipping charges, processing fees, customs duties, import charges, or other amounts may apply depending on the customer’s location, product, payment method, carrier, fulfillment provider, or applicable law.

Customers are generally charged at checkout when an order is submitted.

Payments may be processed by WooPayments, Stripe, PayPal, or other authorized payment-service providers. Payment processing may also be subject to the terms, privacy policies, fraud controls, and verification requirements of the applicable payment provider.

12.4 Digital Products

Digital products may be delivered by the Company or by third-party providers and may be subject to format, device, territory, account, download, access, or platform restrictions.

Except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise, completed digital deliveries may be non-refundable.

12.5 Physical Products and Print-on-Demand Merchandise

Certain physical merchandise offered through the Website may be produced on demand after an order is placed.

Print-on-demand merchandise may be manufactured, printed, packaged, and shipped by third-party fulfillment providers, including Printify and its participating production partners or other authorized fulfillment providers selected by the Company.

Because these products may be created specifically for each customer after purchase, ordinary returns or exchanges based solely on change of mind, preference, or incorrect size or color selection by the customer may not be available.

Customers should carefully review product descriptions, measurements, size charts, colors, quantities, and other available product information before completing an order.

12.6 Refunds, Returns, Replacements, and Defective Items

Refunds, returns, replacements, damaged items, defective items, misprints, incorrect products, shipping problems, cancellations, and similar customer-service matters are governed by the Company’s Refund & Returns Policy , as updated from time to time.

Where a product arrives damaged, defective, materially misprinted, or materially different from the item ordered, the customer should contact the Company promptly and provide the order number, a description of the issue, and reasonable photographic evidence where requested.

Depending on the circumstances, the Company may provide or arrange a replacement, refund, or other appropriate remedy, subject to applicable law and fulfillment-provider requirements.

12.7 Cancellations and Order Changes

Because made-to-order merchandise may enter production shortly after purchase, cancellation or modification requests cannot be guaranteed once an order has been submitted.

If a customer wishes to cancel or change an order, the customer should contact the Company as quickly as possible.

Once production or fulfillment has begun, an order may no longer be eligible for cancellation or modification.

12.8 Shipping and Delivery

Shipping estimates are estimates only and are not guaranteed delivery dates unless expressly stated otherwise.

Production and delivery times may vary according to product, fulfillment provider, destination, carrier, customs processing, weather, holidays, supply conditions, or other circumstances.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address at checkout.

The Company may not be responsible for delays, losses, or delivery failures caused by inaccurate customer information, carrier actions, customs delays, events beyond reasonable control, or circumstances after a shipment has been transferred to the applicable carrier, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

12.9 International Orders

International orders may be subject to customs processing, duties, taxes, brokerage charges, import restrictions, or other destination-country requirements.

Unless expressly collected at checkout, such charges may be the responsibility of the customer, subject to applicable law.

12.10 Third-Party Stores and Fulfillment Providers

Purchases, manufacturing, fulfillment, shipping, or delivery may involve third-party platforms or service providers.

Transactions completed directly through a third-party marketplace or platform may also be governed by that provider’s terms, policies, payment procedures, refund rules, and fulfillment requirements.

Use of a third-party provider does not transfer ownership of the Company’s intellectual property, branding, designs, artwork, characters, or entertainment properties to that provider or to the customer.

13. Licensing and Business Inquiries

No commercial use of Company Content is permitted without prior written authorization.

Requests concerning synchronization, master-use licensing, mechanical rights, public performance, publishing, sampling, remixes, broadcasts, films, television, games, advertising, podcasts, merchandise, books, adaptations, endorsements, collaborations, or other commercial uses must be submitted through an official Company business contact.

A request, conversation, estimate, draft, or informal message does not constitute a license. No license is effective unless confirmed in a written agreement executed by an authorized representative.

14. Third-Party Services

The Website may contain links, embeds, players, stores, payment systems, fulfillment systems, social-media features, analytics, advertisements, shipping services, or integrations provided by third parties.

These may include payment processors, print-on-demand providers, shipping carriers, hosting services, marketplaces, streaming services, social platforms, analytics providers, and other technology or business partners.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms, privacy policies, availability, moderation rules, security practices, and technical systems.

The Company does not control and is not responsible for every action, omission, outage, policy change, product, statement, delivery event, processing delay, or data practice of a third party.

Links or integrations do not necessarily constitute endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation beyond the particular service being used.

15. Community and Fan Interaction

Community conduct, collaborator privacy, Official Persona communications, moderation, no-private-meeting rules, safety restrictions, and confidentiality practices are further described in the Company’s Community, Privacy & Fan Interaction Policy.

That policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of a direct conflict, these Terms control unless the other policy expressly states otherwise.

Financial support, subscriptions, purchases, repeated correspondence, or fan status do not create a right to personal access, private contact information, exclusive attention, private meetings, romantic interaction, backstage access, or control over an Official Persona or collaborator.

16. Copyright Complaints and DMCA

The Company respects intellectual-property rights and may remove or restrict access to material that is alleged to infringe copyright.

A copyright complaint should include sufficient information to identify the copyrighted work, identify the allegedly infringing material, provide contact information, include a good-faith statement, include a statement made under penalty of perjury concerning accuracy and authority, and include a physical or electronic signature.

Knowingly submitting a false or misleading complaint may result in legal liability. The Company may forward a complaint to the person who submitted or posted the challenged material.

A separate Copyright or DMCA Policy may provide additional procedures and contact details.

17. Privacy

The Company’s collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of Personal Information are governed by its Privacy Policy and, where applicable, its Community, Privacy & Fan Interaction Policy.

Payment information may be processed directly by authorized payment providers and may be subject to those providers’ privacy, security, and verification practices.

By using the Website or Services, you acknowledge that online transmission and storage systems cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.

18. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website, Services, and Content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

The Company does not warrant that the Website or Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, complete, compatible with every device, or free from harmful components.

The Company disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade, to the extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits warranties, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Entertainment content may include fiction, dramatization, role-play, artistic expression, humor, stylization, or promotional language and should not automatically be interpreted as literal, autobiographical, professional, or factual advice.

19. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company and its officers, directors, employees, collaborators, contractors, licensors, service providers, and authorized representatives will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, opportunities, or business interruption arising from or related to the Website, Services, Content, products, third-party services, or these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of the Company for claims arising from or relating to the Website, Services, Content, products, or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid directly to the Company for the specific Service or product giving rise to the claim during the six months preceding the event or $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some provisions may not apply to you.

20. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, collaborators, contractors, licensors, service providers, and authorized representatives from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to:

• your use or misuse of the Website or Services;
• your violation of these Terms or another applicable policy;
• your infringement of intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
• your User-generated content or submissions; or
• your unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, or abusive conduct.

21. Suspension and Termination

The Company may suspend, restrict, block, or terminate access to the Website, Services, accounts, communications, purchases, memberships, or community features where permitted by law.

Reasons may include violations of these Terms, safety concerns, fraud, abuse, intellectual-property infringement, account compromise, payment disputes, chargebacks, legal requirements, repeated moderation issues, or interference with Company operations.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual-property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute provisions, will survive.

22. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which The Artist Studio Loft Inc. is incorporated or principally operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Before filing a formal legal claim, you agree to contact the Company and make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.

Nothing in these Terms prevents a consumer from exercising rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived under applicable consumer-protection law.

Any venue, jurisdiction, arbitration, class-action waiver, jury-trial waiver, or related dispute-resolution provision should be finalized only after review by qualified legal counsel and confirmation of the Company’s state of incorporation, principal place of business, and intended enforcement strategy.

23. General Provisions

23.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with incorporated policies and any applicable purchase or service terms, constitute the entire agreement concerning your use of the Website and Services.

23.2 Incorporated Policies

Policies incorporated into or referenced by these Terms may include, where applicable, the Privacy Policy, Refund & Returns Policy, Community, Privacy & Fan Interaction Policy, Copyright or DMCA Policy, and any product-specific or service-specific terms presented at checkout or before purchase.

23.3 Severability

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

23.4 No Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.

23.5 Assignment

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent.

The Company may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset transfer, financing, or other business transaction.

23.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly stated, these Terms do not create rights for third parties.

23.7 Electronic Communications

You consent to receive notices electronically where permitted by law, including through the Website, email, account notifications, order communications, or other official digital channels.

23.8 Headings

Headings are for convenience only and do not limit or control interpretation.

24. Changes to These Terms

The Company may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, Services, business practices, payment systems, fulfillment arrangements, products, entertainment properties, or operational needs.

Updated Terms will be posted on the Website with a revised “Last Updated” date.

Unless otherwise required by law, updates become effective when posted.

Your continued use of the Website or Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

25. Contact Information

For licensing, copyright, business, press, partnership, store, customer-service, or legal inquiries, use an official Company contact channel and include enough detail for the request to be reviewed.
