2. Intellectual Property
Ownership: All content, including but not limited to images, text, designs, logos, and videos, is the sole property of Mariana Durst Studio or our licensors. Unauthorized use or reproduction of any content is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
Licensing for Templates: Each website template purchase grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, single-seat license to use the template for one website. You may not share, resell, or distribute the template or any part of it without our express written permission.
Image Use and Replacement: The images provided with our website templates are either the property of Mariana Durst Studio or sourced from third-party platforms such as Unsplash or Pexels. These images are for demonstration purposes only and must be replaced before publishing your website. Failure to replace these images may result in legal consequences for unauthorized use of copyrighted materials.
3. Payments and Additional Costs
Payments: We use third-party payment processors to handle transactions. By making a purchase, you agree to provide accurate and complete payment information. All payments will be processed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified.
Payment for Templates: Your payment is solely for the designed template and the included Template Resources. It does not cover any fees or costs associated with third-party services, such as Squarespace subscriptions, domain registration, or any other third-party tools or services you may need to launch and maintain your website. These fees are your responsibility and must be paid separately to the respective service providers.
Chargebacks: You agree to make every attempt to resolve any issues directly with us before initiating a chargeback. In the event of a chargeback, you forfeit any access to bonuses, affiliate bonuses, or other materials provided with your original purchase.
Refund Policy:
Website Templates: All sales of website templates are final. Due to the digital nature of our products, we do not offer refunds, exchanges, or cancellations under any circumstances. Please review all available information on the template sales page, this page, and the live demo to ensure that the product meets your needs before making a purchase.
The Liberated Artist Shop® Digital Product Refunds: We offer a full 7-day refund period for most digital products purchases made through The Liberated Artist Shop, unless otherwise noted. If you find the product different from what was promised, and you can provide an explanation, we will issue a 100% refund within seven days of purchase.

You must complete a refund request form agreeing not to use, share, duplicate, or sell any refunded digital products. You also agree to delete all refunded digital materials from your devices, accounts, and software within 48 hours. Failure to do so may result in invoicing for the full amount.
Refund Processing: Refunds may take 5-10 days to appear on your statement. Please note that credit card processing fees are non-refundable, as these fees are charged by the payment processor at the time of your purchase and are not returned to us.
4. Website Templates and Setup
Template Application: The website template you purchase is designed to create a new Squarespace website and cannot be applied to an existing website. If you need assistance applying the template to an existing site, you may hire me for a VIP Day, during which I can help you transition the template to your existing website.
New Website Setup: The template will create a new website that you can customize and then publish. Upon starting with the template, you will receive an extended 6-month trial and a 20% discount on your first annual payment with Squarespace. Please note that this offer is provided by Squarespace and is subject to change.
Existing Squarespace Websites: If you already have an existing Squarespace website, you will need to purchase a new Squarespace plan when you're ready to publish the new site created with the template. After completing the new site setup, you can request a prorated refund from Squarespace for your old plan.
Adding a Shop: You have the option to add a shop to your new website whenever you’re ready to begin selling products or services natively within Squarespace.
5. Support Policy
Website Templates: Support for website templates is limited to accessing the Template Resources page, which includes a Quick Start video to help you get started. Please note that this is not a full Squarespace design course. No additional support is provided beyond these resources. The Template Resources page is intended to guide you in using the template, but it does not cover extensive customizations, third-party integrations, or any other Squarespace-related issues.
Digital Products: All digital products from The Liberated Artist Shop® come with self-guided resources only. No 1:1 or group support is included with your purchase.
