Terms and Conditions
ACCEPTANCE OF OUR TERMS
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a binding contract between you and Joseph Studios, LLC (“us” or “we” or “Joseph Studios”) governing the use of and access to the products and services offer in connection with a paid or trial subscription (“Products” or “Services”) to you and any authorized individuals engaged by you to use the Products on your behalf (each, a “User,” and collectively, “Users”). By using our services, or authorizing us to act on your behalf, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity (“Entity”), you agree to these Terms for that Entity and represent to Joseph Studios that you have the authority to bind such Entity and its affiliates to these Terms. In such case, “you” or “Customer” shall refer to such Entity and its affiliates. If you are a Customer’s User, then these Terms will apply to you to the extent they are applicable to Users. If Customer is an agency, then a User may also be an agency client as described in Section 10 (Agencies). If you do not have the authority to bind the Entity to these Terms or do not agree to these Terms, do not accept these Terms or use or access the Products or services.
You represent and warrant that the information you provide in registering and onboarding is accurate, complete, and rightfully yours to use.
PAYMENT TERMS
You will either pay for your Plan in our Application, or upon receipt of an invoice issued by us.
Payment for Legacy, Monthly Plans
Monthly Plans. For monthly Plans, we will charge you on the first day of your subscription term and automatically on the same date of each subsequent month (“Monthly Pay Date”). We will continue to charge you for your Plan, including any Add-Ons, on a monthly basis until the plan is changed or canceled. If you cancel during the subscription term, you will not be issued any refunds or credits of any prepaid and unused fees for the remainder of the subscription term and you will continue to have access to the services for the remainder of the term.
Payment in for contracted terms or purchase orders
For annual plans, contracted terms, and purchase orders, we will charge you on the first day of your subscription term and automatically on the same date of each subsequent month, quarter, or year (“Pay Date”) as specified in your contract or purchase order. We will continue to charge you for your Plan, including any Add-Ons, on this reoccurring basis unless you decide to cancel during the “notice period” specified in your contract or purchase order. You can do this by contacting your account manager or emailing [email protected] If you cancel during the subscription term, you will not be issued any refunds or credits of any prepaid and unused fees for the remainder of the contracted term and you will continue to have access to the services until the end of the currently contracted or purchased period.
Payment By Invoice
If we invoice you for your Plan, your subscription term will be detailed on the service order and your payment will be due upon receipt of the applicable invoice. Unless otherwise specified on your service order, if we do not receive payment within thirty (30) days of us issuing you the invoice, your account may be suspended, you will lose access to the services, and any unpaid fees will be sent to collections or remitted by a court order. Unless otherwise specified on your service order, your Plan will automatically renew at the end of the subscription term. If you would like to cancel your Plan, you must provide such notice via email to [email protected] and comply with the cancellation terms.
Changes To Your Plan
If you choose to upgrade your Plan or add any Add-Ons to your Plan during your subscription term, you will be charged for the then-current price for the upgrade or Add-Ons prorated based on the number of days remaining in your subscription term. Unless otherwise specified on your service order, any upgrade or Add-Ons that you add will be coterminous with the existing Plan and automatically renew at the end of the subscription term along with your Plan. If you choose to downgrade your Plan or remove any Add-Ons from your Plan, you will not be issued any refunds or credits for the unused and prepaid fees in connection with the downgrade or removal. In-kind, you must comply with the cancellation terms. Downgrading your Plan may cause the loss of content, features, or capacity of your account and we do not accept any liability for any such loss.
Credit Card, Stripe, and Paypal Authorization
By submitting your credit card or Paypal information to Joseph Studios, you authorize Joseph Studios to store this information with its third-party service providers and to charge the credit card or Paypal account you have provided to us until your account is terminated. In addition, you authorize us to use a third-party payment processor in processing payments. If your credit card expires, or is declined or your Paypal information requires an update, we will provide you notice via email. If for any reason, your payment cannot be completed through credit card or Paypal, we may suspend your services until we receive payment and all unpaid fees will be sent to collections or remitted via court order.
Disputes and Late Payments
You must notify us in writing of any amounts you wish to dispute prior to the date such amounts would otherwise be due. Any undisputed amount not paid when due shall be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. You will also be required to reimburse us for any costs or expenses (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees) we incur to collect past due amounts. Any amounts due under these Terms shall not be withheld or offset by you against amounts due to you for any reason.
Taxes.
All payments you make are exclusive of federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, tariffs, levies, withholdings, and similar assessments (including, without limitation, sales taxes, use taxes, and value-added taxes). You agree to be responsible for the payment of all such charges, excluding taxes based upon our net income. All amounts payable by you hereunder shall be grossed-up for any withholding taxes imposed by any foreign government on your payment of amounts to Joseph Studios.
CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
Termination by You
You may terminate your account GIVEN 60 DAYS (“notice period”) that you will be canceling services. Meaning, you will provide 60 days notice that you intend to cancel at which time the remainder of your current service term will run its due course without further renewal after the notice period is over. Example: If for instance the date is March 15th and your service term renews on March 20th, and you inform your account manager you wish to end services. Your service term will still renew on March 20th for a whole new term.
EQUALLY, there isn’t a “grace period”. Meaning, if formal written notice is given on the <60th day (59 or fewer days from the service renewal date), the service term would renew again as scheduled.
Termination must be given in writing to your account manager and payment for the final month (transition phase) must be made at the same schedule as in previous months. You will not be entitled to any refunds of any prepaid and unused fees, and any unpaid fees under your Plan for the applicable subscription term will become immediately due and payable. You may terminate your account and receive a prorated refund of any prepaid and unused fees if we fail to cure a material breach of these Terms within thirty (30) days of our receipt of written notice from you describing the breach.
Termination by Us
We may restrict the functionality of the services or temporarily suspend your account if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms. Unless we believe the need to restrict or suspend service is time-sensitive and requires immediate action without notice, or we are prohibited from providing notice under law or legal order, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you by email prior to such suspension. We will not be liable to you or any third parties for any of the foregoing actions.
We may terminate your services for any of the following reasons: (i) you fail to comply with these Terms, (ii) you do not pay your fees in accordance with the payment terms under your Plan, (iii) at the expiration of the subscription period of your Plan if we provide prior written notice to you, (iv) you become the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (v) if we determine you are acting or have acted in a way that negatively impacts or reflects on Joseph Studios or our current or prospective partners or customers. In no event will any termination by us for the foregoing reasons entitle you to any refunds of any prepaid and unused fees or relieve you of your obligation to pay any fees payable to us prior to the date of termination, and any unpaid fees under your Plan will become immediately due and payable. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, hateful, discriminatory or illegal activity may be grounds for immediate termination of your use of the service and may be referred to law enforcement authorities.
Post Termination
If your account is terminated, Joseph Studios reserves the right to delete any Content on our systems with no liability or notice to you. Once your Content is deleted, you will not be able to recover such Content, except any Content that remains on Third Party Services pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Third-Party Services.

Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes.
You and Joseph Studios agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms through final and binding arbitration, except to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Joseph Studios’ Intellectual Property Rights.

Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, which shall include, but not be limited to, the courts within Cherokee County, Georgia.
Waiver and Severability.
The waiver by Joseph Studios of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall not be deemed a further or continuing waiver of any other provision of these Terms, and any failure of Joseph Studios to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal for any reason, such provision shall be limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement.
Except for any service order, these Terms are the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding your use of the Products and Application. These Terms supersede, and the terms of these Terms govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into these Terms.

Nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to constitute the parties as principal and agent, employer and employee, partners or joint venturers, nor shall any similar relationship be deemed to exist between the parties.
