We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Website, membership features, or digital content at any time, with or without notice. Temporary interruptions or changes in available content do not entitle members to refunds or compensation. From time to time, the Website or certain Services may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or causes beyond our reasonable control. Maestra does not guarantee uninterrupted access and shall not be liable for any losses resulting from downtime.

You may not:

• Use the Website to harass, threaten, or harm others;

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, accounts, or systems;

• Use automated systems to collect data or interfere with the Website’s operation.

Maestra reserves the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate these standards or applicable law.

5. Payments and Billing

By submitting payment information, you authorize Maestra (through Squarespace/Stripe) to charge your chosen payment method for all applicable fees. If a payment fails or is declined, we may suspend or terminate your access until payment is successfully processed.

6. Intellectual Property

All materials, including text, articles, images, layouts, graphics, trademarks, and other content available on the Website (“Content”), are owned by Maestra or sublicensed to Maestra from FashionNow. All rights are reserved. You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access and use the Website and Content for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, translate, publish, broadcast, or create derivative works from any Content without prior written consent from Maestra. Unauthorized use of Content may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws and may result in legal action.

Copyright Infringement / DMCA Notice: Maestra respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe any content on the Website infringes your copyright, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by contacting us at hello@maestra.studio with the information required under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3). Maestra reserves the right to remove content that infringes or is alleged to infringe intellectual property rights, and to terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

7. Disclaimers

The Website and its Content are provided “as is” and “as available.” Maestra disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maestra and its affiliates, licensors, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, or special damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Website, Content, or Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall our total liability exceed the amount you paid to Maestra in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or certain damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Maestra and its officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Website or violation of these Terms.

9. Termination

Maestra may suspend or terminate your account or membership at any time for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or any conduct deemed harmful to the Website or its users. Upon termination, your right to access the Services and Content will immediately cease. You may cancel your membership at any time, but fees paid are non-refundable. Sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law, and other provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to them, the Website, or the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and by applicable United States federal law. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10B (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver), you and Maestra Studio LLC agree that any action or proceeding not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts for such purposes. You waive any objection based on inconvenient forum or lack of personal jurisdiction with respect to any such court action. Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Website must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it will be permanently barred.

10b. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

(i) Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as expressly provided below, you and Maestra Studio LLC agree that any Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court.

(ii) Location and Governing Law. The arbitration shall take place in New York County, New York, unless otherwise required by applicable law. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.) and the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts-of-law provisions.

(iii) Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if the claim qualifies, or seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for claims relating to intellectual-property rights or unauthorized use of Content.

(iv) Class Action Waiver. You and Maestra Studio agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

(v) Arbitration Fees and Costs. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

(vi) Opt-Out Right. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to hello@maestra.studio within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms. Your opt-out will not affect any other provisions of these Terms.

(vii) Severability. If any portion of this arbitration provision is found unenforceable, that portion shall be severed, and the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.

11. Force Majeure

Maestra shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, strikes, labor disputes, internet outages, electricity outages, or governmental restrictions.

12. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. Maestra may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale, or other corporate reorganization.
