  • Application of Limitations and Disclaimers to Consumers.  Certain states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages with respect to consumers (i.e., a person acquiring goods otherwise than in the course of a business), so the disclaimers, exclusions and limitations set forth in Sections 8 and 9 above may not apply to you if you are a consumer.

  • Basis of the Bargain.

  • Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
    • 14.1.Governing Law.  These Terms shall be governed in all respects by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods in its entirety and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) or any other act derived from or related to UCITA are expressly excluded from this Agreement.  The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to the agreement to arbitrate by the parties set forth in this Section 14.
    • 14.2.Disputes.  Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, you agree that any dispute between you and Studio Archive Project arising out of or relating to these Terms, the SAP Service, Content, Artwork, and/or Services provided or made available by Studio Archive Project hereunder (or any part thereof) (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Section.
    • 14.3.Agreement to Arbitrate. In the interest of resolving Disputes between you and Studio Archive Project in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, and except as described in Section 14.7, you and Studio Archive Project agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding individual (not class) arbitration (the “Agreement to Arbitrate”). Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court.  Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This Agreement to Arbitrate includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE MEANS YOU AND STUDIO ARCHIVE PROJECT WAIVE YOUR/ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.  THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.
    • 14.4.Notice of Arbitration; Instituting Proceedings. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). Studio Archive Project’s address for Notice is: Studio Archive Project, LLC, .  The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”).  1000 Dean Street, S2, Brooklyn, NY 11238. You and Studio Archive Project agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Studio Archive Project may commence an arbitration proceeding, as set forth above.  A party electing arbitration must initiate proceedings by filing an arbitration demand with the AAA.  The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Studio Archive Project. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
    • 14.5.Arbitration. Any arbitration between you and Studio Archive Project will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by this Section 14.5.  You and we agree that the following rules will apply to the proceedings: (a) the arbitration will be heard and determined by a single, neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules; (b) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions (at the choice of the party seeking relief); (c) the arbitration must not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses (unless we and you agree otherwise); and (d) any judgment on the arbitrator’s rendered award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction.  Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 USD or less, the Dispute must be resolved exclusively through binding non-appearance-based arbitration.  Disputes that involve a claim of more than $10,000 USD must be resolved per the AAA’s rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person.  All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.  Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.  During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Studio Archive Project must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Studio Archive Project in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, Studio Archive Project will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $1,000 USD.
    • 14.6.Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Studio Archive Project will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000 USD, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules.  If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

STUDIO ARCHIVE PROJECT MARKETPLACE- Return Policy

Effective: May 24, 2021

 

**All sales are final at point of sale with exceptions only for damaged OR lost orders as set forth in this Return Policy**

What if the Artwork I purchased is damaged or lost?

Studio Archive Project will accept the return of damaged Artwork as described in this Return Policy.  All investigation into any damaged and/or lost shall be conducted by Studio Archive Project, and the determination of whether the Artwork is damaged and/or lost shall be at Studio Archive Project’s sole and absolute discretion and is final.

Damaged Artwork:

Artwork may be considered “damaged” if the Artwork arrives with visible damage that renders it visibly/cosmetically intolerable, and such damage is not part of the artistic expression of the Artwork.

“Damaged” Artwork does not include (1) natural variances in the Artwork, including but not limited to grain in wood, bubbles in glass, slight differences in color or print, or appearing slightly different in person as compared to a photograph on the computer; (2) defects or damages arises from a customer’s failure to adhere to applicable use and/or care guidelines, for example, failure to frame the Artwork, failure to comply with installation recommendations, failure to wash hands or wear protective gloves while handling the Artwork, failing to properly transport and/or store the Artwork; or (3) defects or damages resulting from your, or any third party’s misuse, abuse, negligence, or improper or unauthorized use of the Artwork.

Lost Artwork:

Artwork may be considered “lost” if a shipping carrier is unable to locate it or provide reliable insight into its status.

“Lost" Artwork does not include (1) stolen Artwork or Artwork misplaced by you; (2) Artwork that is misdelivered, misplaced, or lost due to a customer’s failure to provide accurate and up to date shipping information; or (3) delays in transit, for any reason.

If your tracking information shows that your package was delivered, but you can't find it please do the following within 48 hours of expected delivery:

  • Verify the shipping address.
  • Look for a notice of attempted delivery.
  • Look around the delivery location for your package.
  • See if someone else accepted the delivery, unless you have health or safety concerns about doing so.
  • Some packages travel through multiple carriers; check your mailbox or wherever else you receive mail.
  • Wait 48 hours - in rare cases packages may say delivered up to 48 hours prior to arrival.

SUBMITTING CLAIMS FOR DAMAGED OR LOST ARTWORK

To submit a claim for a damaged Artwork, you must send us an e mail at hello@studioarchiveproject.com within 7 days of your receipt the Artwork and include (1) a photo of the Artwork, and (2) a description of the damage to the Artwork.

If you have not received your Artwork within 48 hours of expected delivery, you can submit a claim for lost Artwork by emailing us at hello@studioarchiveproject.com and we will look into it.

We will use reasonable efforts to promptly review your claim, and will provide you written notice via email of our acceptance or rejection of your claim.  For the avoidance of doubt, any claim for damaged or lost Artwork shall not be deemed accepted unless and until Studio Archive Project has provided written notice of its acceptance.

If we accept a claim (which shall be in our sole discretion), as described above, you may return the Artwork (in the case of damaged Artwork) and receive a refund of the fees paid for the Artwork (excluding shipping fees). Due to the unique nature of the Artwork, we cannot offer you a replacement of any Artwork.

RETURNS

If you have opted to receive a refund for damaged or lost Artwork, we will process your return, after we have received the returned Artwork with respect to damaged Artwork, and, with respect to lost Artwork, promptly following our confirmation notice to you that we have accepted your claim.  Please allow at least 7-10 business days from our receipt of your item or your receipt of our confirmation notice, as described above, to process your return. Refunds may take 1-2 billing cycles to appear on your credit card statement, depending on your credit card company and your billing cycle.  We will notify you by email when your return has been processed.

Please note, that the original shipping charges incurred on your purchase are not refundable as part of your return.  You may request a prepaid shipping label. If you do not use Studio Archive Project’s prepaid return label you will be responsible for all return shipping charges. We strongly recommend that you use a trackable method to mail your return.
