LegalTerms of Use and Sale
Effective Date and last updated: August 20, 2026
These terms govern use of the Artfully Coded Studio website and the purchase of digital products, website templates, strategy sessions, site updates, design services, and AI-assisted services.
Contents
1. Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Use and Sale ("Terms") govern your use of artfullycoded.com and your purchase or use of products and services offered by Artfully Coded LLC, doing business as Artfully Coded Studio ("ACS," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the website, checking an acceptance box, placing an order, or booking a service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you enter a separate proposal, contract, or service agreement through HoneyBook, that signed agreement controls the applicable project if it conflicts with these Terms.
2. Eligibility and United States Sales
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter a contract. Our products and services are offered to customers located in the United States. We may decline or cancel an order from a jurisdiction we do not serve.
ACS does not currently offer subscriptions, memberships, retainers, or automatically renewing products or services.
3. Website Use
The website and its text, graphics, layouts, photographs, videos, downloads, branding, and other content are owned by or licensed to ACS. We grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive right to use the website for lawful personal or business-purchasing purposes.
You may not:
Copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, sell, or exploit website content without written permission.
Interfere with website operation, security, accounts, checkout, or another user's access.
Upload malicious code or attempt unauthorized access.
Use the website or its content for unlawful, deceptive, infringing, or abusive conduct.
Use automated systems to extract or train on ACS content except as permitted by law or written agreement.
4. Product and Service Descriptions
We make reasonable efforts to describe products, compatibility, inclusions, delivery, pricing, and services accurately. Images, mockups, demonstrations, and examples are illustrative. Colors and display may vary by device, platform, browser, settings, and client content.
We may correct typographical errors, update descriptions, or withdraw an offering. If a material error affects an order that has already been placed, we will offer an appropriate correction, replacement, credit, or refund.
5. Prices, Payments, and Taxes
Prices are stated in U.S. dollars. The advertised price includes mandatory ACS charges, excluding government-imposed taxes that may be added where required. Optional add-ons and separately approved services are charged only when selected or authorized.
Store orders are processed through Squarespace Payments. Service invoices and payment plans are processed through HoneyBook Payments. We do not directly store full payment-card numbers. You authorize the applicable payment provider to charge the payment method you submit for the stated amount and schedule.
Payment installments for a single project do not create a subscription or continuing service. If a payment fails, work, delivery, transfer, or launch may be paused until the account is current. Contact us before initiating a payment dispute so we have an opportunity to investigate and resolve the concern.
6. Digital Product Delivery
ACS sells two categories of digital products:
• Instant-download products. Downloadable workbooks, guides, Canva templates, forms, and similar files are delivered electronically after confirmed payment through an on-screen link, email, account access, or another delivery method stated on the product page.
• Transferred website templates. Squarespace website templates require a manual transfer. ACS typically sends the Squarespace invitation within approximately 24 hours after confirmed payment and receipt of the correct buyer email or other information needed for transfer. This is an estimated turnaround, not a guaranteed deadline. Platform outages, incomplete information, security reviews, or circumstances outside our reasonable control may cause delay.
The buyer is responsible for providing an accurate email address, monitoring spam or promotions folders, maintaining a compatible account, and promptly accepting a transfer invitation. Contact hello@artfullycoded.com if an expected download or invitation is not received.
7. Digital Product License
A purchase grants a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to one buyer or one business. ACS retains ownership of the original product, template, design system, instructions, and related intellectual property.
A website template may be used for one live website owned or operated by the purchasing buyer or business.
A second website, business, brand, or end user requires a separate license unless ACS agrees otherwise in writing.
The buyer may customize permitted elements for the buyer's own business.
Internal business resources, such as forms or client-facing documents, may be used in the buyer's ordinary business operations but may not be sold as templates or standalone products.
Products may not be shared, resold, redistributed, gifted, sublicensed, copied for another business, uploaded to a shared library, or used to create a competing product or template.
The buyer may not remove ownership notices where they are intended to remain, claim authorship of the original ACS design, or represent the original template as the buyer's own design work.
The license is effective only after full payment and may be revoked for a material breach of these restrictions.
8. Platform Requirements and Support
Squarespace website templates are built for Squarespace 7.1 unless the product page states otherwise. A separate Squarespace account and paid Squarespace subscription are required to publish and maintain a live site. Squarespace pricing, features, interfaces, policies, and availability are controlled by Squarespace and may change. Product support is limited to the materials and support expressly included on the product page. Customization, copywriting, troubleshooting, third-party integrations, platform subscriptions, and site updates are not included unless stated or purchased separately.
9. Digital Product Refunds
Instant-download products are final sale once a download link, file, or digital access has been issued.
A transferred website template may be cancelled for a refund before ACS sends or initiates the Squarespace transfer invitation. Once the transfer invitation has been sent or initiated, the sale is final.
Refunds are not provided for change of mind, failure to use the product, lack of time, buyer-provided incorrect information, or a disclosed compatibility or subscription requirement.
If a buyer is charged twice, does not receive the product, or receives a materially defective file that ACS cannot reasonably correct or replace, the buyer should contact us for review. Nothing in this section limits a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.
10. Clarity Cafe
A Clarity Cafe booking reserves a scheduled strategy session and may include advance review, a recorded Google Meet session, a HoneyBook AI-generated transcript or notes, and the deliverables stated on the booking page.
The client may cancel or reschedule without penalty until one hour before the scheduled start time.
A cancellation or rescheduling request received less than one hour before the scheduled start time, or a no-show, may result in forfeiture of the payment unless ACS agrees otherwise.
Late arrival does not extend the scheduled end time.
Once the meeting has occurred, the payment is nonrefundable.
Recording requires express consent during booking and confirmation at the start of the meeting. A client may request a copy of the recording, transcript, or meeting notes.
11. Site Update Request
A Site Update Request is a prepaid, asynchronous service for a defined website update, fix, or edit that can reasonably be completed within up to 60 minutes of focused work. It is not an unlimited support package and does not guarantee that an issue controlled by a third party can be resolved.
The service begins after ACS receives confirmed payment, a completed request form, necessary content, and working platform access.
The standard turnaround is within one week, normally five business days, after all required items are received.
If the request is likely to require more than 60 minutes, ACS will contact the client before beginning. The client may approve a separate quote, revise the request, or cancel for a refund.
The client may cancel for a refund before ACS begins work. Once work has begun, the service is final and nonrefundable, except when ACS cannot provide the agreed service.
If ACS completes the requested task in less than 60 minutes, unused time does not create a credit, rollover, or entitlement to unrelated additional work unless ACS agrees otherwise.
If a platform outage, missing access, security restriction, or third-party limitation prevents completion, ACS will explain the result and may offer a revised scope, credit, or refund as appropriate.
12. Foundation and Full Build Services
Foundation and Full Build services require a separate HoneyBook proposal, contract, invoice, and project schedule. The signed service agreement governs scope, payment milestones, revisions, client deadlines, launch, ownership transfer, and project-specific obligations.
The project deposit is nonrefundable because ACS reserves the design week and performs advance preparation. If the client cancels before or during the scheduled design week, the remaining unpaid project fee will not be required. The deposit compensates ACS for reservation, planning, preparation, and work performed through cancellation.
13. Client Responsibilities
For any service, the client is responsible for:
Providing complete, accurate, and timely information, content, approvals, access, and feedback.
Maintaining backups and using secure access methods when available.
Obtaining rights and permissions for all copy, logos, photographs, testimonials, fonts, trademarks, music, video, and other supplied materials.
Reviewing spelling, claims, prices, links, policies, and factual information before approval or launch.
Maintaining platform accounts, domains, subscriptions, licenses, taxes, professional credentials, and third-party services.
Ensuring the client's business, website, marketing claims, privacy practices, accessibility, industry disclosures, and legal documents comply with laws applicable to the client. ACS is not the client's attorney, accountant, healthcare provider, or compliance advisor.
Client delay may move a project date, pause work, or require rescheduling under the signed service agreement.
14. Client Materials and Permissions
The client retains ownership of client-supplied materials. The client grants ACS a limited license to access, copy, edit, format, transmit, and use those materials as reasonably necessary to provide the purchased service. The client represents that supplied materials and instructions do not infringe another person's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights.
Portfolio, testimonial, and promotional use of client names, statements, likenesses, or completed work is governed by the signed service agreement or separate consent.
15. AI-Assisted Services and AI Photoshoot
ACS may use AI-assisted tools for studio-authored copy concepts, editing, design concepts, synthetic images, and production support. AI output is reviewed and refined by ACS, but may contain errors, artifacts, bias, or similarities to other outputs. AI-assisted material may not qualify for exclusive copyright protection and cannot be guaranteed to be unique.
If an AI Photoshoot is offered and purchased:
The client must be at least 18 years old and provide reference photographs depicting only the client who booked the service.
The client must own the photographs or have all rights necessary to authorize their use.
The client will provide express written consent allowing ACS and its selected AI provider to process the reference photographs and likeness for the booked service.
ACS will not knowingly use the client's likeness to create images of another subject, train an ACS-owned model, or produce work for another client.
Generated images are creative simulations, may not reproduce the client's exact appearance, and must not be used to deceive, impersonate, defame, or falsely document an event.
The client is responsible for reviewing generated images before publication and for using them lawfully and consistently with platform rules.
Third-party AI services operate under their own terms, privacy practices, technical limitations, and output-license conditions.
Any service-specific model release, consent, or AI addendum presented at booking is incorporated into these Terms and controls if it provides more specific requirements.
16. Ownership of Custom Deliverables
Ownership and license rights for custom service deliverables are defined in the signed service agreement. Unless that agreement states otherwise, final client-specific deliverables are released after full payment, while ACS retains ownership of preexisting templates, methods, systems, processes, working files, unused concepts, know-how, and reusable design components.
Third-party fonts, stock assets, platform features, software, and AI-generated elements remain subject to their own licenses and may not be exclusively owned by ACS or the client.
17. Third-Party Platforms
ACS products and services may rely on Squarespace, HoneyBook, Google, Pinterest, domain registrars, booking systems, payment providers, AI services, and other third parties. ACS does not control their availability, pricing, policies, security, updates, or continued operation and is not responsible for a third party's independent acts.
18. No Guarantee of Business Results
Design, strategy, copy, branding, SEO setup, and website services do not guarantee revenue, traffic, search rankings, bookings, sales, audience growth, platform approval, or any particular business outcome. Results depend on factors outside ACS's control, including the client's offer, market, implementation, advertising, maintenance, content, competition, and third-party platforms.
19. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website, content, digital products, and services are provided on an "as available" basis. Except for an express promise in a product page or signed agreement, ACS disclaims implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and noninfringement. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
20. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ACS will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost business opportunities, or interruption arising from the website, a product, a service, or a third-party platform. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ACS's total liability for a claim will not exceed the amount the customer paid ACS for the specific product or service giving rise to that claim. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law or to liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
21. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ACS from third-party claims, damages, or reasonable costs arising from materials you supply, your unlawful or unauthorized use of a product or service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of another person's rights. This section does not require indemnification for ACS's own unlawful conduct.
22. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend website access, product licenses, delivery, or services for nonpayment, fraud, abuse, security risk, unlawful conduct, or material breach. Termination does not eliminate payment obligations or provisions that by their nature should survive, including ownership, license restrictions, disclaimers, and dispute terms.
23. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a formal claim, the parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the issue by written notice and informal discussion. Except where applicable law requires otherwise, a dispute that is not resolved informally will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Alameda County, California. Either party may use an eligible small-claims court. Nothing in this section prevents a party from seeking urgent injunctive relief when legally appropriate.
24. General Terms
If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will remain effective. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights or obligations without written permission. We may assign these Terms in connection with a reorganization, sale, or transfer of the business.
ACS is not responsible for delay caused by events reasonably outside its control, including natural disasters, illness, internet or utility failures, labor disruptions, government action, platform outages, security incidents, or failures of third-party services.
25. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms for future use, purchases, or bookings. The Last Updated date identifies the current version. Changes do not retroactively alter a completed purchase or signed project agreement unless the parties agree or law requires otherwise.
