1. Obligations


Eligibility to Use Our Services

The use of our Services are not for use by anyone under the age of 16.

To use our Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the “Minimum Age” (described below) or older; (2) you will only have one Essential Studio Manager account, which must be in your real name; and (3) you are not already restricted by The Essential Studio Manager from using the Services. Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms, including accounts registered on behalf of others or persons under the age of 16.

“Minimum Age” means 16 years old. However, if law requires that you must be older in order for The Essential Studio Manager to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then the Minimum Age is such older age.

Your Account

Users are account holders. You agree to: (1) try to choose a strong and secure password; (2) keep your password secure and confidential; (3) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., connections) and (4) follow the law. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse.

Your account belongs to you and only you.

In-Active Accounts

An account is considered in-active when a user creates their account but never verifies their email address.

If an account remains in-active for 30 days it will be deleted.

Stagnate Accounts

An account is considered stagnate when a user has not logged into their account in more than 365 days.

If an account is stagnate for 6 months we will send a notification email that the users account will be deleted if it remains stagnate for 365 days. If the users account remains stagnate for 9 months we will send a 2nd notification email letting the user know their account is coming up on 365 days and their account will soon be deleted. If it remains stagnate, we will notify the user one last time 3 days prior to deletion.

In order to prevent your account from being marked stagnate simply login every month, if you receive an email notification saying your account is going to be deleted and you want to continue using our services, just login and your account will no longer be stagnate.

Payment

If you buy any of our paid Services (“Pro Plan” or "Annual Plan"), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes specific to the paid Services. Failure to pay these fees will result in the termination of your paid Services. Also, you agree that:

  • Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates).
  • We may continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card) even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your Services and to use to pay other Services you may buy.
  • If you purchase a subscription, your payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, cancel before the renewal date. Learn how to cancel or suspend your Premium Services.
  • All of your purchases of Services are subject to The Essential Studio Manager's refund policy.
  • We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase.
