LEGAL DOCUMENTATION • THE EDIT STUDIO SERVICES
DIGITAL ART SALES, LICENSING & REFUND POLICY
Effective Date: Last Revised October 2024 | Version 2.4. Applicable to all direct digital art purchases, commissioned digital assets, commercial license grants, and authenticated NFT creations offered by The Edit Studio Services.
01. Products Covered
This policy applies to all digital products offered by The Edit Studio Services, including vector illustrations, 3D assets, motion design files, raw project archives, typography files, digital templates, and tokenized digital artwork (NFTs).
02. Artwork Information & Specs
All product listings provide resolution, color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB, CMYK), file extensions (.AI, .PSD, .OBJ, .MP4), file sizes, and software compatibility requirements. The buyer is responsible for verifying technical compatibility prior to transaction confirmation.
03. Pricing & Currency
All prices are clearly stated in USD, EUR, or native cryptocurrency equivalents at checkout. Applicable sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), and digital goods levies are calculated based on your jurisdiction and shown before final payment.
04. Instant Digital Delivery
Digital assets are delivered immediately upon receipt of confirmed payment via automated download links and emailed secure access tokens. Links remain active for 30 days; purchasers are advised to immediately back up their files locally.
05. Retention of Copyright
Unless explicitly stipulated in a signed bespoke copyright assignment deed, all intellectual property, moral rights, trademark assets, and underlying creative code remain the sole and exclusive property of The Edit Studio Services.
06. Personal-Use Licensing
Standard non-commercial purchases grant a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual right to display the artwork for personal enjoyment, private portfolio display, or individual screensavers. Resale, sub-licensing, or broadcast is strictly prohibited.
07. Commercial Licensing Scope
Commercial licenses permit reproduction within commercial campaigns, digital applications, websites, and packaging up to the circulation limit specified in the license tier (e.g., 250,000 physical or digital impressions). Extended tiers must be acquired for unlimited runs.
08. Prohibited Commercial Uses
Under no license tier may digital files be incorporated into on-demand print engines, re-packaged as stock graphic libraries, distributed open-source, or uploaded to artificial intelligence training datasets without express written authorization.
09. NFT Ownership & Token Rights
Acquisition of a cryptographic token (NFT) represents title to the specific digital cryptographic record on the blockchain. Token ownership confers personal display rights of the associated artwork, but does not transfer underlying commercial copyright or trademark rights.
10. Technical Risks & Gas Fees
Buyers acknowledge inherent risks associated with blockchain interactions, including volatile network transaction fees (gas fees), wallet key management, smart contract execution, and third-party decentralized storage nodes (IPFS/Arweave).
11. Consumer Cancellation Rights Waiver
In accordance with consumer protection regulations governing immediate digital content delivery, you expressly consent that digital supply begins immediately upon purchase and acknowledge that your statutory 14-day cancellation right is thereby waived once download begins.
12. Faulty Digital Content Remedy
If a delivered digital file is corrupted, missing documented layers, or materially defective, we will repair or replace the file within 48 hours of notification. If we cannot provide a functional replacement, a complete refund will be issued.
13. Refund Requests & Eligibility
Due to the irreversible nature of digital downloads, refunds are evaluated strictly on a case-by-case basis within 14 days of purchase. Accidental purchases where files have already been accessed or downloaded are non-refundable.
14. Bespoke Commission Cancellation
For custom studio commissions, deposits cover conceptual research, initial wireframes, and production scheduling. If cancelled prior to final rendering, the initial 50% retainer deposit remains non-refundable to offset allocated studio resources.
15. Chargeback & Dispute Policy
We encourage immediate contact with our support desk before initiating any payment processor chargebacks. Unwarranted chargebacks on successfully downloaded digital goods result in immediate license revocation and account termination.
16. License Revocation on Default
If a refund is processed, payment reversed, or licensing terms breached, all grants of use immediately terminate. The licensee must cease all publication and delete all copies and derivative files from their archives.
17. Color Fidelity & Screen Calibration
Digital artwork color renditions may vary across uncalibrated consumer screens, mobile panels, and distinct physical print mediums. Minor perceptual color variations do not constitute a defect justifying a refund.
18. File Archival & Re-Download Policy
While The Edit Studio Services strives to maintain perpetual user access portals, we do not guarantee indefinite cloud hosting. Clients are solely responsible for local storage and cold backup redundancy.
19. Resale Royalties (EIP-2981)
Secondary sales of tokenized art pieces automatically enforce creator royalties (standard 7.5%–10%) coded into smart contracts. Buyers agree not to utilize zero-fee marketplace circumventions that strip creator royalties.
20. Third-Party Fonts & Software Plugins
Source project archives may reference commercial typefaces or third-party render plugins. Unless expressly bundled, clients must obtain their own valid software and foundry licenses for editable typography layers.
21. Watermarking & Preview Assets
All low-resolution sample imagery, watermarked proof reels, and interactive 3D viewports displayed on our platform are preview materials only. Unlicensed extraction, screen recording, or AI ingestion is strictly actionable.
22. Indemnification by Licensee
Licensees agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Edit Studio Services and its creative partners from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from unauthorized asset modification, defamation, or regulatory violations.
23. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, The Edit Studio Services' total aggregate liability for any direct or indirect damages shall not exceed the total amount paid by the purchaser for the specific digital asset in dispute.
24. Sanctions & Anti-Money Laundering
By transacting on this platform, you warrant that you are not resident in an OFAC-sanctioned territory, nor listed on restricted party registries, and that source funds are compliant with international anti-money laundering (AML) protocols.
25. Privacy & Transaction Records
Personal identifiers and transaction hashes are collected solely for billing verification, digital asset fulfillment, tax audit compliance, and anti-fraud monitoring, managed strictly under our Global Privacy Policy.
26. Amendments to Licensing Terms
The Edit Studio Services reserves the right to revise this policy periodically. Purchases are governed by the specific policy terms active on the exact timestamp of checkout completion.
27. Severability
If any clause of this policy is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect without impairment.
28. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
This agreement shall be interpreted and governed in accordance with the substantive laws of England and Wales, with the commercial courts of London holding exclusive jurisdiction over all arising legal claims.
