YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY AND BE BOUND BY THE TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND BY ALL TERMS, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS AND RESTRICTIONS PRESENTED IN RELATION TO SPECIFIC CONTENT OR A SPECIFIC PRODUCT, SERVICE OR FEATURE OFFERED BY HYPERVOID (COLLECTIVELY, THE “USER TERMS”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF USE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE OUR WEBSITE.

THESE USER TERMS & CONDITIONS (“Agreement”) are a legal agreement between you (“User”, “Visitor”, “you” or “your”) and Strangeloop Studios LLC dba Hypervoid, its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Hypervoid”, “we”, “us” or “our”). This is a legal document which sets out your rights and obligations, and those of Hypervoid (“we” or “us”), in relation to the use of www.Hypervoid.com or any web-based application that we may provide (collectively, the “Website”) and any other services offered by us through the Website. References to “Hypervoid” in this Agreement are to us, the Website, and/or the services available through the Website, according to the context.

USERS AND VISITORS

By accessing our Website, you accept that you are entering into a binding contract with us, which is governed by the terms and conditions contained herein.  Visitors to Hypervoid who do not become Users (“Visitors”), but who nevertheless use the Website, acknowledge and agree that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the Website.

WHAT WE DO

We provide a portal to view and display artwork in a digital format. We license digital artwork (“Artwork”) from artists (“Artists”). Users may “buy” the right to use digital Artwork subject to the terms and conditions hereof. This collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as our “Services.” We reserve the right to add or delete features as our website evolves and changes over time.

HOW BUYING ITEMS WORKS.

WHAT YOU ARE BUYING:

  • a. License. When you “buy” an item, you acquire the right to use that item; you’re not actually acquiring the item itself. What you get includes a license directly from the author to use that item. Items are subject to specific terms of use, and these terms are the ‘license’ that we set on the market. These shall hereinafter be referred to as “Usage Rights.” This license also applies to you if you downloador use an item that someone else has bought for you.
  • b. Transacting as a buyer: When you buy an item you’re doing so on the following terms:
    1. You cannot cancel a completed purchase of an item;
    2. We and the authors do not promise that any particular item will continue to be available on the Website so you should download and save the item as soon as you buy it;
    3. Once you buy or download an item and the item has been paid for, you acquire a non-exclusive license to use the item under the terms set out in the license (non-exclusive means others might also license the same item);
    4. The author retains ownership of the item.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY:

  • a. What we own: We own or control all the Artwork that we have put on Website (unless otherwise stated and excluding content owned by others). This includes the design, compilation, and look and feel of the site, and copyright, trademarks, designs and other intellectual property on the Website and any related services. We own all the trademarks, logos, service marks and trade names (unless otherwise stated and excluding these things owned by others). You will not copy, distribute, modify or make derivative works of any of our intellectual property or use any of our intellectual property in any way not expressly stated in these terms.
  • b. What we don’t own: We do not own the items on the Website; our authors do. We cannot take responsibility for the quality, safety or legality of the items. We do not promise that the items or any content, code, data or materials available on or via the Website do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of a third party. (Each author provides promises to you directly when you purchase their item.)
  • c. Artist copyright: You expressly acknowledge and agree that the artist who created the Artwork continues to own the copyright in it, and has asserted its moral right to be identified as the author of the Artwork. Users purchase usage rights rather than the copyright in their Artwork.  The terms and conditions under which we license Artwork from Artists are governed by the terms of a licensing agreement entered into with Artist.

REFUNDS

Given the nature of digital content, a refund or credit on a purchase is not granted unless one of the promises given has been breached. If you would like to request a refund, please contact team@hypervoid.tv.

We will assess refund or credit requests on their merits, considering the digital nature of the items on the Website and the type of item preview that was available before purchase. There is generally no obligation to provide a refund or credit in situations like the following:

  • a. you have changed your mind about an item;
  • b. you bought an item by mistake;
  • c. you do not have sufficient expertise to use the item;
  • d. you can no longer access the item because it has been removed (we advise you to download items as soon as you buy them to avoid this situation).

If we decide to issue a refund or credit, this will generally be done using the same manner used to make the purchase. If the item was bought using a particular payment method you will be refunded using the same payment method in reverse.
