Legal
Terms of Service
The terms that govern your use of StudioNXT.
1. About This Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Arknet Imaging Technologies LLP ("we", "us", "the company"), the operator of StudioNXT. By creating an account and subscribing to StudioNXT, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
StudioNXT is a living archive and studio management platform for working artists. It provides a permanent home for an artist's body of work, tools for documentation and organisation, AI-assisted catalogue management via Mira, and document generation for professional practice.
2. Your Account
You must create an account to use StudioNXT. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must be at least 16 years old to register.
Accounts are personal and non-transferable. You may not share your login with another person or operate multiple accounts for the same individual. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at contact@studionxt.art.
3. Subscription and Billing
Access to StudioNXT requires a paid subscription. The available plans and current prices are displayed within the platform at the point of purchase.
Merchant of record
Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle"), which acts as the merchant of record for all StudioNXT transactions. Your billing relationship for the payment transaction is with Paddle, and Paddle's own terms of service and privacy policy govern that relationship. We are responsible for the service itself; Paddle is responsible for the payment infrastructure.
Renewal and cancellation
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you retain full access until then.
Refunds
We do not issue partial-period refunds except where required by applicable consumer law or by Paddle's refund policy. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, contact us at contact@studionxt.art.
Taxes
Paddle handles the collection and remittance of applicable taxes, including VAT, as part of its merchant of record role. Prices displayed on the platform are inclusive of applicable VAT unless otherwise stated at point of purchase.
4. Your Content and Intellectual Property
You retain full ownership of all artwork records, images, voice recordings, documents, notes, and any other content you upload or create within StudioNXT ("Your Content"). These Terms transfer no ownership of Your Content to us, at any time or under any circumstances.
Licence you grant us
By uploading Your Content, you grant Arknet Imaging Technologies LLP a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free technical licence to store, process, and — where you choose to publish a work publicly — display Your Content, solely to provide the service to you. This licence ends when you close your account. It does not extend to advertising, training AI models, or sharing Your Content with third parties for any commercial or non-commercial purpose beyond operating the service.
Your responsibility for content
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload any content you add to your archive. If you upload content that infringes a third party's intellectual property rights, we may remove it upon receipt of a valid legal notice. We do not proactively monitor archive content.
Accuracy of records
We do not verify the provenance, authenticity, or valuation of any artwork. Information in your archive reflects what you have entered. We make no representations about its accuracy or suitability for any commercial or legal purpose.
5. AI Features — Mira
StudioNXT includes an AI studio assistant called Mira. When you use Mira, your messages and a contextual summary of your archive are sent to Anthropic's API for processing. Anthropic does not train its models on API data submitted via the API.
Mira's outputs are drafts for your review. You remain responsible for any content you publish, share, or act on that was produced with Mira's assistance. Mira does not access information outside your own archive and does not publish anything without your explicit action.
6. The Patron Reward
StudioNXT operates a Patron programme, the details of which are described at studionxt.art/patron. Participation in StudioNXT as a subscriber makes you a Patron.
Any loyalty reward or benefit offered to Patrons is entirely discretionary on our part. It does not constitute a financial commitment, a guaranteed return, a profit-sharing arrangement, or an enforceable right under these Terms. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Patron reward at any time, for any reason, without liability.
7. The Promise Fund
StudioNXT maintains a company reserve called the Promise Fund, described at studionxt.art/promise-fund. The Promise Fund is a company policy and financial commitment of Arknet Imaging Technologies LLP — it is a dedicated fixed deposit account, held separately from operating funds.
The Promise Fund is not a legal trust, escrow account, or instrument that creates enforceable third-party rights. Nothing on the Promise Fund page, in these Terms, or in any other communication constitutes a contractually binding obligation beyond the good-faith policy commitments of current leadership as stated. The intent to formalise the Fund into a legal trust or escrow structure is stated as a future goal; until that structure exists, it remains a company policy.
8. Acceptable Use
You may use StudioNXT only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. The following conduct is prohibited:
Intellectual property
Do not upload or distribute content that infringes the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of any person or entity.
Harmful or illegal content
Do not upload material that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or that violates the privacy or dignity of any person.
Unauthorised access
Do not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the service, its infrastructure, or any other user's account. Do not probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network connected to StudioNXT without our written permission.
Service integrity
Do not introduce malware, viruses, or other harmful code. Do not take any action that could disrupt, degrade, or interfere with the service or other users' access to it.
Automated access
Do not use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools to extract data from the platform without our prior written permission.
Misrepresentation
Do not impersonate another person, misrepresent your identity, or claim ownership of content that is not yours.
9. Termination
Either party may end this agreement at any time, subject to the conditions below.
Cancellation by you
You may cancel your subscription and close your account at any time through your account settings. Following cancellation, you retain full access until the end of the current paid period. Your archive data is retained for a reasonable period after that — typically 30 days — before permanent deletion, giving you time to export your content.
Termination by us
We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms. Where the breach is capable of remedy, we will give 14 days' written notice before acting. Serious breaches — including illegal content, active security threats, or fraud — may result in immediate suspension without prior notice.
If StudioNXT closes
If StudioNXT ever ceases to operate, we are committed to providing every artist with 90 days' written notice and a complete, structured export of their archive — in open formats, readable on any device — before anything stops. This commitment is described in full in the Promise Note at studionxt.art/promise-note.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
StudioNXT is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or entirely free of security vulnerabilities. We will work to maintain a reliable and secure service, but we cannot guarantee it.
Valuations, market estimates, and any other figures generated by or within the service are for reference only and do not constitute financial, legal, or professional advice.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total liability of Arknet Imaging Technologies LLP to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of StudioNXT is limited to the total amount you paid for the service in the twelve calendar months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Excluded damages
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of data, loss of income, loss of profits, or loss of business opportunity — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Exceptions
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Consumer rights
If you are a consumer in the European Union, your statutory rights under EU consumer protection law are not diminished by these Terms. Where applicable law grants you rights that these Terms would otherwise restrict, those rights prevail.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
The governing law and jurisdiction for any dispute arising from these Terms is currently under review by legal counsel. We will notify registered users and update this section once that determination has been made.
In the meantime, if you have a concern or dispute, we ask that you contact us directly at contact@studionxt.art. We are committed to resolving issues through direct communication and good-faith negotiation before any formal process is initiated.
13. Changes to These Terms
We will notify registered users by email if we make material changes to these Terms. The updated Terms will take effect on the date stated in that notice. Continued use of StudioNXT after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. If you object to any change, you may cancel your subscription before it takes effect.
