Terms of Service
Last Updated and Effective Date – December 1, 2025

THESE TERMS CONTAIN DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES (SECTION 12), DISCLAIMERS OF LIABILITY AND AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (SECTION 13), AND A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 18). PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.

1. Legal Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and SilkCore Studio LLC (“SilkCore,” “we,” “us,” “our”) governing your access to and use of our websites and online services that display or link to these Terms (the “Services”). The Services include, without limitation, our primary website and official social media accounts.

Squarespace, Mariana Tek, and Vimeo may operate portions of the Services. Each of those entities (including successors, permitted assigns, and affiliates) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. We may modify the Services or these Terms at any time. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the changes.

2. Acceptance of Terms

You should print or save a copy of these Terms. Your use of the Services means you accept and agree to be bound by them.

3. Changes to the Services or Terms

We may update or change the Services and these Terms, for example to reflect changes in law or our practices. Changes are effective when posted.

4. Third-Party Beneficiaries

To the extent Squarespace, Mariana Tek, Vimeo, or other providers power parts of the Services, they are third-party beneficiaries and may enforce these Terms.

5. Prohibited Content and Activities

You may not use (or attempt to use) the Services to harm us or others, interfere with operations, or violate laws. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation:

• Impersonation or misrepresentation of your identity or affiliation
• Unauthorized scraping, spidering, or automated data collection
• Collecting or exposing others’ private information
• Unauthorized access attempts to systems or accounts
• Interfering with security, performance, or load of our infrastructure
• Circumventing, reverse engineering, decompiling, or altering the Services
• Using another’s account or credentials without permission
• Uploading viruses, malware, or harmful code
• Any conduct that restricts others’ use or exposes anyone to liability or harm

We may investigate violations and cooperate with law enforcement. We may suspend or terminate access at any time, with or without notice.

6. User Submissions (User Content)

Areas of the Services may let you submit, post, upload, transmit, or otherwise provide content (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for your User Content.

You agree not to submit content that:

• Infringes any IP or proprietary rights
• Is false, defamatory, obscene, abusive, hateful, harassing, or sexually explicit
• Violates privacy or publicity rights
• Is commercial advertising or solicitation (spam, pyramid schemes, etc.)
• Is irrelevant to the Services or intended to intimidate or incite violence
• Contains malware or harmful code
• Violates law or encourages illegal activity

If permitted by the Services, you may only submit content you have the right to provide. By submitting User Content, you grant SilkCore a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully sublicensable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, perform, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, transmit, and otherwise exploit your User Content in any media now known or later developed. To the extent allowed by law, you waive any moral rights.

You represent that you obtained all necessary permissions for anyone appearing in your content (including parents/guardians for minors). If you are under 13, you may not submit User Content. If you are under the age of majority but at least 13, you may only submit User Content with parent/guardian permission.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor or remove User Content at our discretion and without notice.

7. Intellectual Property (SilkCore Content)

All content, information, software, code, and materials on the Services other than your User Content (“SilkCore Content”) are owned by SilkCore or its licensors. You may view and print SilkCore Content for personal, non-commercial use only, without modification, and only while complying with these Terms.

Copyright. SilkCore Content is protected under U.S. and international copyright laws. Except as expressly permitted in writing or by law, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, display, perform, modify, create derivatives, transmit, or exploit any SilkCore Content.

Trademarks. The SilkCore name, logos, and marks are owned by SilkCore and may not be used without our prior written consent.

DMCA/Notice of Infringement. If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, contact us at legal@silkcore.studio with: (a) your physical/electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work(s); (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location; (d) your contact info; (e) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act.

Embedding and Linking. We may allow embedding of SilkCore Content for personal, non-commercial use only; we may disable embedding at any time. You may link to our Services in a fair and legal way that does not suggest endorsement. We may withdraw linking permission at any time.

8. Registration for Non-Subscription Services

When you register or provide information, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete details and to update them as needed. We may suspend or terminate accounts if information is inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and all activity under your account.

9. Subscription Services

Some Services (e.g., “Unlimited Members”) require a paid subscription (“Subscription Services”) for a fixed term that may auto-renew.

Access Restrictions. You may not access Subscription Services without a valid account, payment, and credentials, nor share or sell credentials or content obtained via Subscription Services.

Devices/Compatibility. Certain Subscription Services work only on compatible devices. Check compatibility before subscribing; fees are non-refundable if your device is incompatible. Some payments may be processed by a device provider and governed by that provider’s terms.

Suspension/Termination. We may suspend or terminate Subscription Services at any time. After termination becomes effective you will not be charged future fees, but no other remedies or refunds are provided if you violated these Terms.

10. Billing and Payment

You confirm you are at least 18 and authorized to use the provided payment method.

Fees/Taxes. You agree to pay all fees, charges, and applicable taxes. We may change fees or introduce new fees with prior notice.

Sales Tax. Taxes may be collected based on applicable laws. If we do not collect tax, you may owe use tax; consult your tax authority.

Auto-Renewal (Monthly). Monthly subscriptions auto-renew each month unless canceled before the next billing period. Your primary card (or any card on file) will be charged on or about the same date each month. To cancel, log in and follow instructions or email billing@silkcore.studio. We do not provide partial or pro-rated refunds except where required by law.

Trial Subscriptions. Trial access may require your card details. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, you authorize conversion to a paid plan at the then-current rate and ongoing billing per the plan terms.

Cancellation. Unless otherwise stated, cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. Except as required by law or expressly stated, fees are non-refundable.

11. Links and Third-Party Materials

The Services may link to or incorporate third-party websites, services, software, or content (“Third-Party Materials”), including Squarespace, Mariana Tek, and Vimeo. Third-Party Materials are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. SilkCore is not responsible for and makes no warranties regarding Third-Party Materials.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICES AND ALL SILKCORE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE TIMELY, SECURE, ACCURATE, ERROR-FREE, VIRUS-FREE, OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT THEY WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

IF APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW SOME EXCLUSIONS, THE ABOVE WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED.

13. Exclusive Remedy and Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SILKCORE, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN OPERATING, CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICES, SILKCORE CONTENT, USER CONTENT, OR LINKED SITES—HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY—even if advised of the possibility. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID (IF ANY) TO USE THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law (e.g., death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SilkCore, its affiliates, licensors, and their respective officers, directors, owners, employees, contractors, and agents from all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your use of the Services (including User Content), (ii) your violation of these Terms or law, (iii) your infringement or violation of third-party rights, or (iv) your negligence or willful misconduct. You may not settle a claim without SilkCore’s prior written consent.

15. Integration, Severability, and Amendment

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and SilkCore regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be replaced with an enforceable term that reflects the original intent; the remainder stays in force. We may amend these Terms by posting updated Terms; your continued use signifies acceptance.

16. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

17. Assignment and Binding

Effect You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; any attempted assignment is void. We may assign these Terms. These Terms bind and benefit each party and their permitted successors and assigns.

18. Governing Law, Binding Arbitration, Class Action Waiver, Venue, and Time Limit

These Terms are governed by U.S. federal law and the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Informal Resolution. We will try to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiations.

Binding Arbitration. If not resolved informally, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The arbitrator’s decision is final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may seek interim or preliminary relief in a New Jersey court to protect rights pending arbitration.

Class Action Waiver. ALL PROCEEDINGS MUST BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AND SILKCORE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR ARBITRATION.

Venue for Non-Arbitrable Claims. Any claims not subject to arbitration are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of state or federal courts located in Hudson County, New Jersey. You waive any objection to jurisdiction, venue, or forum non conveniens.

Time Limit. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you must provide written notice of any claim within one (1) year of the event giving rise to it, or the claim is permanently waived.

19. Separate Terms and Conditions

You may be asked to accept additional policies or terms for certain features. Those terms supplement these Terms and govern to the extent they expressly conflict.

20. Acceptance of Terms of Use

BY USING ANY SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICES. We may change these Terms at any time; your continued use after changes are posted means you accept them.
