       Require separate purchases for certain content.

We do not guarantee the availability of any specific content. You agree that:

3.4 Cancellation and Refund Policy

Please review the following guidelines carefully, as they govern all purchases made through the Service.

On-Demand Classes (A La Carte Purchase)

To the maximum extent permitted by law, promotions and discounts may be subject to conditions, limitations, or restrictions determined by us in our sole discretion. We are not required to publish or make available specific promotional terms, and any perceived errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in promotional materials do not create binding obligations.

7. User Content

If you submit content to the Service (such as reviews, gallery submissions, or comments), you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicenseable license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and create derivative works from that content for the purpose of operating and promoting the Service. We may remove any user-submitted content at any time, for any reason, without notice or liability.

8. Intellectual Property

All content and materials available through the Service are owned by CreativeLive or its licensors and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership interest in any Service content.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CREATIVELIVE'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100. IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OR WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE LIMITATIONS, SO THEY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CreativeLive, Inc. and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.
