Terms of Service 



Last Updated: 6th of February 2023

Thank you for using YourStudios!

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and JAGS Studios Ltd that govern your right to use the websites, applications, and other offerings from YourStudios (collectively, the “YourStudios Platform”). When used in these Terms, “YourStudios,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the YourStudios entity, listed as JAG Studios Ltd.

The YourStudios Platform offers an online venue that enables users (“Members”) to publish, offer, search for, and book services. Members who publish and offer services are “Venues” and Members who search for, book, or use services are “Event organisers.” Venues offer spaces (“Studios”), and each Venue offering is a “Listing”). You must register an account to access and use many features of the YourStudios Platform, and must keep your account information accurate. As the provider of the YourStudios Platform, YourStudios does not own, control, offer or manage any Listings. YourStudios is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between Venues and Event organisers, nor is YourStudios a real estate broker or insurer.

YourStudios is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms of Service (“Payment Terms”). To learn more about YourStudios’s role see Section 16.

We maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms like our Privacy Policy, which describes our collection and use of personal data, and our Payments Terms, which govern any payment services provided to Members by the YourStudios payment entities (collectively "YourStudios Payments"). 

If you are a Venue, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, regulations and contracts with third parties that apply to your Venue Services.

1. Our Mission.

Our mission is to connect people to their ideal spaces anywhere in the world. From lofts to gyms to boutique spaces, browse through our Listings to find a trove of hidden gems. Learn more about a Listing by reviewing the description and photos, the Venue profile, and reviews. If you have questions, just message the Venue. 

2. Searching and Booking on YourStudios.

2.1 Searching. You can search for Venues by using criteria like size, event dates, and facilities. You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, availability, Reviews, customer service and cancellation history, popularity and previous bookings. Learn more about search results in our Help Center. 

2.2 Booking. When you book a Listing, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your booking including the Listing price, applicable fees like YourStudios’s service fee, offline fees, taxes, and any other items identified during checkout (collectively, “Total Price”). You are also agreeing that YourStudios may charge the Payment Method (as defined in the Payment Terms) used to book the Listing in order to collect Damage Claim (as defined in Section 15) amounts. When you receive the booking confirmation, a contract for Bookings (a "Booking") is formed directly between you and the Venue. In addition to these Terms, you will be subject to, and responsible for complying with, all terms of the Booking, including without limitation, the cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the Listing or during checkout that apply to the Booking. It is your responsibility to read and understand these rules, standards, policies, and requirements prior to booking a Listing. Be aware that some Venues work with partners or as part of a team to provide their Venue Services. 

2.3 Studio Bookings. A Studio Booking is a limited license to enter, occupy, and use the Studio. The Venue retains the right to re-enter the Studio during your visit, to the extent: (i) it is reasonably necessary, (ii) permitted by your contract with the Venue, and (iii) consistent with applicable law. If you stay past checkout, the Venue has the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed Guests. 

3. Cancellations, Travel Issues, Refunds and Booking Modifications. 

3.1 Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Refunds. In general, if as an Event organiser you cancel a Booking, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that Booking. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If something outside your control forces you to cancel a Booking, you may be eligible for a partial or full refund under our Extenuating Circumstances Policy. If the Venue cancels, or you experience a Travel Issue (as defined in our Rebooking and Refund Policy), you may be eligible for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund under the Rebooking and Refund Policy. See each Additional Legal Term or Policy for details about what is covered, and what refund applies in each situation. 

3.2 Booking Modifications. Event Organisers and Venues are responsible for any booking modifications they agree to make via the YourStudios Platform or direct YourStudios customer service to make on their behalf ("Booking Modifications"), and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any Booking Modification.

4. Your Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk.

4.1 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join or provide access to any Studio. For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for leaving a Studio (and related personal property) in the condition it was in when you arrived, (ii) you are responsible for paying all reasonable Damage Claim amounts necessary to cover damage that you, your guest(s), or your pet(s) cause to a Studio, and (iii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are booking for an additional guest who is a minor or if you bring a minor to a Venue, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor. 

4.2 Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the YourStudios Platform and any Content (as defined in Section 10), including your visit to any Venue or Studio or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to investigate a Venue to determine whether it is suitable for you. 

Venue Terms

5. Listing a Venue on YourStudios.

5.1 Venue. As a Venue, YourStudios offers you the right to use the YourStudios Platform to share your Studio with our vibrant community of Event Organisers - and earn money doing it. It’s easy to create a Listing and you are in control of how you host - set your price, availability, cancellation policy and rules for each Listing. 

5.2 Contracting with Event Organisers. When you accept a booking request, or receive a booking confirmation through the YourStudios Platform, you are entering into a contract directly with the Event Organiser, and are responsible for delivering your Service under the terms and at the price specified in your Listing. You are also agreeing to pay applicable fees like YourStudios’s service fee (and applicable taxes) for each booking. YourStudios Payments will deduct amounts you owe from your payout unless we and you agree to a different method. Any terms, policies or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with Event Organisers must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, our Additional Legal Terms, Policies, and the information provided in your Listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Listing description.

5.3 Independence of Venues. Your relationship with YourStudios is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of YourStudios, except that YourStudios acts as a payment collection agent as described in the Payments Terms. YourStudios does not direct or control your Listing, and you agree that you have complete discretion whether and when to provide Listings.

6. Managing Your Listing. 

6.1 Creating and Managing Your Listing. The YourStudios Platform provides tools that make it easy for you to set up and manage a Listing. Your Listing must include complete and accurate information about your Venue, your price, other charges like cleaning fees, offline fees, and any rules or requirements that apply to your Event Organisers or Listing. You are responsible for keeping your Listing information (including calendar availability) and content (like photos) up-to-date and accurate at all times. We recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Venue and suggest you carefully review policy terms and conditions including coverage details and exclusions. You may only maintain one Listing per Studio, but may have multiple Listings for a single Venue if it has multiple spaces to book. 

6.2 Know Your Legal Obligations. You are responsible for understanding and complying with any laws, rules, regulations, and contracts with third parties that apply to your Listing and Venue. For example: Some landlords and leases, or homeowner and condominium association rules, restrict or prohibit subletting, hiring and short-term rentals Some cities have zoning or other laws that restrict the short-term rental of residential properties. Some jurisdictions require Venues to register, get a permit, or obtain a license before providing certain Services. Some jurisdictions require that you register Event Organisers who stay at your Studio. Some jurisdictions have laws that create tenancy rights for Event Organisers and additional obligations for Venues. Check your local rules to learn what rules apply to the Services you plan to offer. Information we provide regarding legal requirements is for informational purposes only and you should independently confirm your obligations. You are responsible for handling and using personal data of Event Organisers and others in compliance with applicable privacy laws and these Terms, including our Host Privacy Standards. If you have questions about how local laws apply you should always seek legal advice. 

6.3 Search Ranking. The ranking of Listings in search results on the YourStudios Platform depends on a variety of factors, including these main parameters:

  • Event organiser search parameters (e.g. number of guests, time and date of the visit, price range),

  • Listing characteristics (e.g. price, calendar availability, number and quality of images, Reviews,, age of the Listing, average User popularity),

  • Guest booking experience (e.g. customer service and cancellation history of the Venue, ease of booking), 

  • Venue requirements (e.g. minimum booking length, booking cut-off time), and

  • Event organiser preferences (e.g. previous visits, location from where the Event organiser is searching).

YourStudios may allow Venues to promote their Listings in search or elsewhere on the YourStudios Platform by paying an additional fee. More information about the factors that determine how your Listing appears in search results, our current promotional programs (if any).

6.4 Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to visit. You are responsible for setting your price and establishing rules and requirements for your Listing. You must describe any and all fees and charges in your Listing description and may not collect any additional fees or charges outside the YourStudios Platform except those expressly authorized by our Offline Fee Policy. Do not encourage Event Organisers to create third-party accounts, submit reviews, provide their contact information, or take other actions outside the YourStudios Platform in violation of our Off-Platform Policy. You must at all times quote a price on ​the ​Platform which is accurate and matches the best available rate offered to the general public at the Venue or on the Venue's own website.​ ​If a User or a YourStudios representative provides evidence of a lower price or better deal directly quoted by you or available to the general public at the Venue or on the Venue's own website for the same Venue or Studio booked through the Platform, on the same booking terms, you agree to match the lower price and to refund the User the difference between the price quoted through the Platform and the lower price within 28 days.

6.5 Listing as a Team, Company or Organization. If you work with a partner or are part of a team, business, or other organization, the entity and each individual who participates in providing Venue Services is responsible and liable as a Venue under these Terms. If you accept terms or enter into contracts, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to enter into contracts for and bind your team, business or other organization, and that each entity you use is in good standing under the laws of the place where it is established. If you perform other functions, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to perform those functions. If you instruct YourStudios to transfer a portion of your payout to a partner or other Venues, or to send payments to someone else, you must be authorized to do so, and are responsible and liable for the payment amounts and accuracy of any payout information you provide. 

6.6 Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that listing a Venue carries inherent risks and agree that you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the YourStudios Platform and any interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. You agree that you have had the opportunity to investigate the YourStudios Platform and any laws, rules, regulations, or obligations that may be applicable to your Listings and that you are not relying upon any statement of law made by YourStudios.

7. Cancellations, Travel Issues, and Booking Modifications. 

7.1 Cancellations and Travel Issues. In general, if an Event organiser cancels a Booking, the amount paid to you is determined by the cancellation policy that applies to that Booking. As a Venue, you should not cancel on a Guest without a valid reason under our Extenuating Circumstances Policy or applicable law. If you cancel on an Event organiser without such a valid reason, we may impose a cancellation fee and other consequences. If: (i) an Event organiser experiences a Travel Issue (as defined by the Rebooking and Refund Policy), (ii) an Extenuating Circumstance arises, or (iii) a Booking is canceled under Section 13 of these Terms, the amount you are paid will be reduced by the amount we refund or otherwise provide to the Event organiser, and by any other reasonable costs we incur as a result of the cancellation. If an Event organiser receives a refund after you have already been paid, or the amount of the refund and other costs incurred by YourStudios exceeds your payout, YourStudios (via YourStudios Payments) may recover that amount from you, including by offsetting the refund against your future payouts. You agree that YourStudios’s Rebooking and Refund Policy, Extenuating Circumstances Policy, and these Terms preempt the cancellation policy you set in situations where they allow for the cancellation of a Booking and/or the issuance of refunds to Event Organisers. If we reasonably expect to provide a refund to an Event organiser under one of these policies, we may delay release of any payout for that Booking until a refund decision is made. See each Policy for details about what is covered, and what your payout will be in each situation. 

7.2 Booking Modifications. Venues and Event Organisers are responsible for any Booking Modifications they agree to make via the YourStudios Platform or direct YourStudios customer service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees or taxes associated with a Booking Modification.

8. Taxes. 

8.1 Venue Taxes. As a Venue, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit, or include in your price any applicable VAT or other indirect taxes, occupancy taxes, tourist, income, or other taxes ("Taxes"). 

8.2 Collection and Remittance by YourStudios. In jurisdictions where YourStudios facilitates the collection and/or remittance of Taxes on behalf of Venues, you instruct and authorize YourStudios to collect Taxes on your behalf, and/or to remit such Taxes to the relevant Tax authority. Any Taxes that are collected and/or remitted by YourStudios are identified to Members on their transaction records, as applicable. YourStudios may seek additional amounts from Members (including by deducting such amounts from future payouts) in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge that Members’ tax obligations, and you agree that your sole remedy for Taxes collected by YourStudios is a refund from the applicable Tax authority. You acknowledge and agree that we retain the right, with prior notice to affected Members, to cease the collection and remittance of Taxes in any jurisdiction for any reason. 

8.3 Tax Information. In certain jurisdictions, Tax regulations may require that we collect and/or report Tax information about you, or withhold Taxes from payouts to you, or both. If you fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided. You agree that YourStudios may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation for VAT, GST, consumption or other Taxes for your Venue Services to facilitate accurate tax reporting by you, our Event Organisers, and/or their organizations.

General Terms

9. Reviews. 

After each Booking, Event Organisers and Venues will have an opportunity to review each other. Your Review must be accurate and may not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language that violates our Content Policy. Reviews are not verified by YourStudios for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading. 

10. Content. 

Parts of the YourStudios Platform enable you to provide feedback, text, photos, audio, video, information, and other content (collectively, “Content”). By providing Content, in whatever form and through whatever means, you grant YourStudios a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable and transferable license to copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish and otherwise exploit, that Content, without limitation. If Content includes personal information, our Privacy Policy describes how we use that personal information. Where YourStudios pays for the creation of Content or facilitates its creation, YourStudios may own that Content, in which case supplemental terms or disclosures will say that. You are solely responsible for all Content that you provide and warrant that you either own it or are authorized to grant YourStudios the rights described in these Terms. You are responsible and liable if any of your Content violates or infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party. Content must comply with our Content Policy and Nondiscrimination Policy, which prohibit, among other things, discriminatory, obscene, harassing, deceptive, violent, and illegal content. You agree that YourStudios may make available services or automated tools to translate Content and that your Content may be translated using such services or tools. YourStudios does not guarantee the accuracy or quality of translations and Members are responsible for confirming the accuracy of such translations.

11. Fees. 

YourStudios may charge fees (and applicable Taxes) to Venues and Event Organisers for the right to use the YourStudios Platform. More information about when service fees apply and how they are calculated can be found on our Service Fees page. Except as otherwise provided on the YourStudios Platform, service fees are non-refundable. YourStudios reserves the right to change the service fees at any time, and will provide Members notice of any fee changes before they become effective.

13.2 Termination. You may terminate this agreement at any time by sending us an email or by deleting your account. YourStudios may terminate this agreement and your account for any reason by giving you 30 days’ notice via email or using any other contact information you have provided for your account.

You will be notified of the Damage Claim and given an opportunity to respond. If you agree to pay, or if the Damage Claim is escalated to YourStudios and YourStudios determines in its sole discretion that the Damage Claim is valid and you are responsible for the Damage Claim, YourStudios via YourStudios Payments can collect the amount of the Damage Claim from you. You agree that YourStudios may seek to recover from you under any insurance policies you maintain and that YourStudios may also pursue against you any remedies it may have available under applicable law, including referral of the matter to a collections agency, and/or pursuit of available causes of action and/or claims against you. You agree to cooperate in good faith, provide any information YourStudios requests, execute documents, and take further reasonable action, in connection with Damage Claims, Member complaints, claims under insurance policies, or other claims related to your provision or use of Venue Services. 

16. YourStudios’s Role. 

We offer you the right to use a platform that enables Members to publish, offer, search for, and book Venues. While we work hard to ensure our Members have great experiences using YourStudios, we do not and cannot control the conduct of Event Organisers and Venues. You acknowledge that YourStudios has the right, but does not have any obligation, to monitor the use of the YourStudios Platform and verify information provided by our Members. For example, we may review, disable access to, remove, or edit Content to: (i) operate, secure and improve the YourStudios Platform (including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; (iv) address Content that we determine is harmful or objectionable; (v) take actions set out in these Terms; and (vi) maintain and enforce any quality or eligibility criteria, including by removing Listings that don’t meet quality and eligibility criteria. Members acknowledge and agree that YourStudios administers its Additional Legal Terms, Policies (such as our Extenuating Circumstances Policy) and Standards (such as basic requirements for Venues), including decisions about whether and how to apply them to a particular situation, at its sole discretion. Members agree to cooperate with and assist YourStudios in good faith, and to provide YourStudios with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by YourStudios with respect to any investigation undertaken by YourStudios regarding the use or abuse of the YourStudios Platform. YourStudios is not acting as an agent for any Member except for where YourStudios acts as a collection agent as provided in the Payments Terms.

17. Member Accounts. 

You must register an account to access and use many features of the YourStudios Platform. Registration is only permitted for legal entities, partnerships and natural persons who are 18 years or older. You represent and warrant that you are not a person or entity barred from using the YourStudios Platform under the laws of the United Kingdom, your place of residence, or any other applicable jurisdiction. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information up-to-date. You may not register more than one account or transfer your account to someone else. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You are responsible and liable for activities conducted through your account and must immediately notify YourStudios if you suspect that your credentials have been lost, stolen, or your account is otherwise compromised. If and as permitted by applicable law, we may, but have no obligation to (i) ask you to provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify your identity or background, (iii) screen you against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers, and (iv) obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or their local equivalents.

18. Disclaimer of Warranties.

We provide the YourStudios Platform and all Content “as is” without warranty of any kind and we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied. For example: (i) we do not endorse or warrant the existence, conduct, performance, safety, quality, legality or suitability of any Event Organiser, Venue, Listing or third party; (ii) we do not warrant the performance or non-interruption of the YourStudios Platform; and (iii) we do not warrant that verification, identity or background checks conducted on Listings or Members (if any) will identify past misconduct or prevent future misconduct. Any references to a Member or Listing being "verified" (or similar language) indicate only that the Member or Listing or YourStudios has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. The disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you have statutory rights or warranties we cannot disclaim, the duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties, will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

19. Limitations on Liability.

Neither YourStudios (including its affiliates and personnel) nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the YourStudios Platform or any Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) the use of or inability to use the YourStudios Platform or any Content, (iii) any communications, interactions or meetings you may have with someone you interact or meet with through, or as a result of, your use of the YourStudios Platform, or (iv) publishing or booking of a Listing, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not YourStudios has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. 

Except for our obligation to transmit payments to Venues under these Terms, in no event will YourStudios’s aggregate liability for any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, your interaction with any Members, or your use of or inability to use the YourStudios Platform, any Content, exceed: (A) to Event Organisers, the amount you paid as a Guest during the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, (B) to Venues, the amount paid to you as a Venue in the 12-month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or (C) to anyone else, one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). 

These limitations of liability and damages are fundamental elements of the agreement between you and YourStudios. If applicable law does not allow the limitations of liability set out in these Terms, the above limitations may not apply to you.

20. Indemnification.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at YourStudios’s option), indemnify, and hold YourStudios (including YourStudios Payments, other affiliates, and their personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply to a product or feature) or our Additional Legal Terms,  Policies or Standards, (ii) your improper use of the YourStudios Platform, (iii) your interaction with any Member, visit at an Studio, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use, (iv) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights.

21. Contracting Entities. 

Based on your country of residence you must follow the laws and tax restrictions of that area. If you change your country of residence or establishment, the applicable version of the Terms of Service will be determined by your new country of residence or establishment, from the date on which your country of residence or establishment changes.

22. Applicable law and Jurisdiction. 

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with British law. If you are acting as a consumer and if mandatory statutory consumer protection regulations in your country of residence contain provisions that are more beneficial for you, such provisions shall apply irrespective of the choice of British law. As a consumer, you may bring any judicial proceedings relating to these Terms before the competent court of your place of residence or the competent court of YourStudios place of business in England. If YourStudios wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. If you are acting as a business, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the British courts.

23. United States Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement. 

23.1 Application. This Arbitration Agreement only applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States. If your country of residence or establishment is not the United States, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against YourStudios in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Section 23 applies to you, and all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law.

23.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. YourStudios is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom this Section 23 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with YourStudios’s customer service team (described in paragraph 23.3, below), and if necessary (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You and YourStudios each retain the right to seek resolution of the dispute in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration. 

23.3 Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. At least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration, you and YourStudios each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send your notice of dispute to YourStudios by mailing it to YourStudios’s agent for service: CSC Lawyers Incorporating Service, 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive, Suite 150N, Sacramento, California 95833. YourStudios will send its notice of dispute to the email address associated with your YourStudios account. A notice of dispute must include: the party’s name and preferred contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief sought. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the 30-day period, only then may either party commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).

23.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and YourStudios mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or any use of the YourStudios Platform, Venue Services, or any Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and YourStudios agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

23.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and YourStudios each agree that the following causes of action and/or claims for relief are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction (as defined by Section 22): (i) any claim or cause of action alleging actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); or (iii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief; or (iv) any individual claim of sexual assault or sexual harassment arising from your use of the YourStudios Platform or Venue Services. You and YourStudios agree that the remedy of public injunctive relief will proceed after the arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act. 

23.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by the arbitrator in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA rules.

23.7 Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, YourStudios agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (a) in the U.S. county where you reside; (b) in San Francisco County; (c) via phone or video conference. If the amount in controversy is $5,000 or less, the parties agree to proceed solely on the submission of documents to the arbitrator. 

23.8 Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.

23.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

23.10 Jury Trial Waiver. You and YourStudios acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

23.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and YourStudios acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.

23.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 23.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect. 

23.13 Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. If YourStudios changes this Section 23 after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and YourStudios (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and YourStudios.

23.14 Survival. Except as provided in Section 23.12 and subject to Section 13.6, this Section 23 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the YourStudios Platform or terminate your YourStudios account.

24. China Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.

The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. The Tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators. The language of the arbitration shall be English. 

24.3 Without Limitation Provisions.

25. Brazil Governing Law and Venue. If you reside or have your place of establishment in Brazil, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Brazil, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions.

26. Rest of World Dispute Resolution, Venue and Forum, and Governing Law. If you reside or have your place of establishment outside of the United States, China, and Brazil, this Section applies to you and these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with Irish law. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. If you are acting as an individual consumer and if mandatory statutory consumer protection regulations in your country of residence contain provisions that are more beneficial for you, such provisions shall apply irrespective of the choice of Irish law. As an individual consumer, you may bring any judicial proceedings relating to these Terms before the competent court of your place of residence or the competent court of YourStudios's place of business in Ireland. If YourStudios wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. If you are acting as a business, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
