Legal – Art Rave Studio Terms

Welcome to the Art Rave Studios website.  We’re glad you here.  This document and the other documents referenced below make up our rules, or what we officially call our Art Rave Studios Terms (or just “Terms” for short).  If you continue to use our website these Terms are a legally binding contract between you and Art Rave Studios.

Contents

The Art Rave Studio website and its unique artwork and designs helps thousands of studio owners around the country earn money with their hosted events, regardless of whether you are mobile or have a store front. When you create an account and accept these terms you become a member of our website. You will have an Art Rave Studio account by keeping an active subscription which will allow you to license designs from our design library. 

If you have an Art Rave Studio account, any transactions are logged in your account, which records the payments made by you to us, and the designs you intent to use with our licensing terms.  The items on the Art Rave Studio website are owned and remain the property of Art Rave Inc. 

During your time with us you agree to follow the ground rules outlined in these terms so please read and understand them. If you don’t accept the terms then unfortunately you will need to leave because your presence on and use of the Art Rave Studio website is conditional on your acceptance to be bound by these terms and other policies on use of the site and our service.

We reserve the right to deny membership to Art Rave Studios for ANY REASON.  This may be based upon industry affiliation, geographic location and competitors to Art Rave Studios.

How browsing and membership works

Browsing

You need to be 13 years or over to browse the Art Rave Studio site. We don’t knowingly collect any information from anyone aged 13 or under. When browsing the site, you agree to follow our guidelines or instructions and keep in mind that these terms apply to any use of our Art Rave Studio website.

Membership & Subscription

You need to be 18 years or over to become an active subscriber and a member of our system.

Art Rave Studio Membership:   When you become a member you purchase an Art Rave Studio subscription. Your membership will grant you credits.  You can use your credits to acquire a licensed item from our design library through the use of credits assigned in your account, participate in any of our online forums, and generally contribute to our Art Rave Studio website that helps all subscribers succeed with using our designs.  

Your responsibility: Identity and transparency of all user accounts is important to us.  You promise that information you give us is true, accurate and complete and that you will keep your account information up-to-date (including a current email address). Your membership is not transferrable, that means you cannot sell your account. You are responsible for any use of the artravestudios.com site including any activity that occurs in conjunction with your username and password. If you have a Art Rave Studio account keep your password secure and don’t let any other person use your username or password. If you realize there’s any unauthorized use of your password or any breach of security you need to let us know immediately.

How buying items works

What you’re buying

Subscription: You are purchasing a subscription which, while under the subscription terms, assigns you usable credits into your Art Rave Studios account.  You can use your credits to acquire a right to use a design; you’re not actually acquiring the item itself. What you get includes a “use” license directly from us to use that item for the specific business the account is registered.  This license is not transferable.  Once you are no longer an active subscriber your membership is terminated along with the right to use our designs.  The details of these licenses can be found with our Licensing Terms and will be considered part of this document.
