Terms of Service

By creating an account, submitting a membership application, paying any fee, entering our premises, or otherwise using any service offered by The Click Stream Studios Creator Community (the "Club"), a division of Growth Mode Technologies LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("you," "Member," or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and any posted studio rules, policies, or schedules, all of which are incorporated by reference.

If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

"Services" means the Club's website, software, membership programs, studio space, equipment, sets, events, classes, brand opportunities, content support, and all related offerings.

"Content" means any photos, videos, audio, text, designs, livestreams, or other materials you upload, produce, transmit, or capture using the Services or on our premises.

"Premises" means any physical location operated by the Company, including Click Stream Studios.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create a Membership. Minors may only enter the Premises when accompanied by a parent or guardian who has signed all required releases. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep it updated.

We offer multiple Membership tiers, including the Founding Membership ($99/month, discounted from $129), Creator Community Pro tiers ($499/month BYO Gear; $999/month Full Studio Package), and others we may introduce. Each plan's benefits, included hours, and limits are described on our site at the time of purchase.

Founding pricing is locked in for life for as long as your Membership remains continuously active and in good standing. A lapse, cancellation, downgrade, chargeback, or breach of these Terms will permanently forfeit founding pricing, and any future re-enrollment will be at the then-current rate.

Benefits are non-transferable, may not be resold, and have no cash value. We may modify or discontinue features, sets, equipment, or amenities at any time, provided we do not materially reduce the core benefits of your active plan during a paid billing cycle.

The Founding Membership is for individual creators only. The majority of content you produce on our Premises under this plan must feature you as the subject or primary on-camera talent. Shooting clients, paid talent, or other third parties as the primary subject requires an active Creator Club Pro plan. Misuse of an individual plan for professional client work is a material breach and may result in upgrade to a Pro tier, retroactive billing at Pro rates, suspension, or termination.

Memberships are billed in advance on a recurring monthly basis using the payment method on file. By providing a payment method, you authorize us (and our payment processors) to charge all applicable fees, taxes, overages, damage charges, and other amounts due.

Memberships auto-renew until cancelled. You may cancel at any time from your account or by emailing us; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not pro-rate partial months. Failed payments may result in immediate suspension of access.

Prices, taxes, and fees may change. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of price changes affecting your plan (founding pricing excepted, as described above).

All payments are non-refundable except where required by law. Unused studio hours, event tickets, add-ons, and service credits do not roll over and are forfeited upon cancellation, downgrade, or non-renewal unless we expressly state otherwise in writing.

Studio time and equipment must be booked in advance through our scheduling system and are subject to availability. Bookings begin and end at the scheduled time regardless of arrival. Members are responsible for set-up, breakdown, and leaving the space in the condition they found it within their booked window.

Cancellations made less than 24 hours before a booking, no-shows, and unauthorized overstays may be billed at the standard hourly rate plus a reasonable administrative fee, and may count against included monthly hours.

You agree to follow all posted studio rules, staff instructions, fire codes, occupancy limits, and safety protocols. The following are strictly prohibited on the Premises: harassment, discrimination, violence or threats, weapons, illegal drugs, smoking or vaping indoors, open flames without prior written approval, nudity or sexually explicit content, minors without a guardian, animals (other than service animals) without prior approval, and any activity that violates applicable law.

We may refuse service, remove individuals, or terminate access at our sole discretion for any conduct we determine, in good faith, to be unsafe, abusive, fraudulent, disruptive, or inconsistent with these Terms.

Members using studio-provided equipment must complete a one-time training session before their first shoot and must operate equipment in accordance with the training and any posted instructions. Members are responsible for providing their own storage media (memory cards, drives). The Company does not guarantee compatibility with any specific workflow or third-party software.

You are financially responsible for any damage, theft, or loss caused by you, your guests, your clients, or anyone you bring onto the Premises, including but not limited to equipment, sets, props, fixtures, and finishes. We may charge the payment method on file for the full repair or replacement cost (including labor, shipping, and reasonable administrative fees) without prior notice.

We may require a security deposit or credit card authorization hold for certain bookings or equipment rentals. Personal belongings are brought onto the Premises at your own risk; we are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property.

Members are fully responsible for the conduct of all guests, clients, models, talent, crew, and attendees they bring onto the Premises. You must ensure each such person has signed any required talent release, location release, and waiver of liability before participating. You agree to defend and indemnify the Company against any claim brought by such persons arising out of your activities.

You retain ownership of Content you create. You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, releases, and consents to your Content, including from any identifiable individuals, trademarks, music, and copyrighted material featured in it, and that your Content does not violate any law or third-party right.

The Company's name, logos, trade dress, set designs, software, and all related intellectual property are owned by the Company and may not be copied, reproduced, or used without our prior written permission.

You grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, display, and distribute (a) Content you publicly post tagging or referencing the Company, and (b) photos, video, or audio captured of the Premises (which may incidentally include you), in each case solely for the purpose of marketing, promoting, and operating the Services. You may opt out of feature use by emailing us; the license to incidental Premises footage survives opt-out for already-published materials.

You may not use the Services to create, distribute, or facilitate:

• Adult, pornographic, or sexually explicit material;
• Content depicting minors in any unsafe, exploitative, or inappropriate context;
• Hateful, harassing, defamatory, threatening, or discriminatory content;
• Content that infringes intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• Illegal activity, regulated products without proper licensure, or fraud;
• Multi-level-marketing recruitment events without prior written approval;
• Reverse engineering, scraping, or interfering with our systems.

We may, from time to time, make brand collaborations, casting calls, paid opportunities, or third-party services available to Members. The Company is not a talent agency and does not guarantee any specific opportunity, payment, booking, audience, result, or outcome. All agreements between you and any brand, client, or third party are solely between you and that party; we are not responsible for performance, payment, or disputes.

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. By providing contact information, you consent to receive transactional, account, and reasonable promotional communications from us by email, SMS, or phone. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of promotional messages at any time; transactional messages are required for service operation.

The Premises may be monitored by security cameras for safety, loss prevention, and operational purposes.

You acknowledge that use of a content studio involves inherent risks, including but not limited to: lighting and electrical equipment, rigging, props, sets, cables, slip/trip hazards, lifting and moving gear, strobes and bright lights (which may trigger photosensitive conditions), loud audio, on-camera physical activity, and interactions with other Members and guests. You voluntarily assume all such risks and accept full responsibility for your own health, safety, and well-being while on the Premises.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you, on behalf of yourself, your guests, clients, heirs, and personal representatives, hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Company and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, landlords, and affiliates (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services or presence on the Premises, including those caused in whole or in part by the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties.

This release does not apply to liability arising from the Company's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be released as a matter of law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your Content; (b) your use of the Services or Premises; (c) your breach of these Terms or any law; (d) the conduct of any guest, client, talent, or crew you bring; or (e) your infringement of any third-party right.

THE SERVICES, PREMISES, AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, UPTIME, AVAILABILITY, OR ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT EQUIPMENT WILL BE FREE OF DEFECTS, THAT BOOKINGS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL ACHIEVE ANY SPECIFIC RESULT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE RELEASED PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST CONTENT, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE RELEASED PARTIES' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO THE COMPANY IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

The limitations in this Section apply regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based.

The Company is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, severe weather, fire, flood, pandemic, utility or internet outages, equipment failure, labor disputes, supply-chain disruption, governmental action, civil unrest, or third-party service interruptions.

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Services at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including for any violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including payment obligations, releases, indemnities, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution) will survive termination.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in Onondaga County, New York, before a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and the Company each waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Disputes must be brought in your or our individual capacity only.

Small-claims & injunctive relief. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information. Opt-out: you may opt out of arbitration by emailing us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or by a notice on our site. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any posted policies, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may freely assign them. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.
