Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: March 2026
Welcome to OpenÉire Studios. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, as well as the purchase of any physical prints, digital downloads, or commercial media licenses. By accessing our website or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our site or purchase our products.
1. About Us
This website is operated by OpenÉire Studios, based in Ireland. Throughout the site, the terms "we", "us", and "our" refer to OpenÉire Studios.
2. Products and Services
We offer two distinct categories of products:
- Physical Prints: Bespoke, made-to-order art prints fulfilled via our Print-on-Demand partners.
- Digital Media: High-resolution digital files provided under a strict Personal Use Licence or a Rights-Managed Commercial Licence.
Purchasing a Licence, Not Ownership
When you purchase digital media from OpenÉire Studios, you are purchasing a limited licence to use the asset, not the ownership of the asset itself. All copyright and intellectual property rights remain the exclusive property of OpenÉire Studios.
3. Intellectual Property & Strict Licensing Rules
Your use of any digital or physical product purchased from OpenÉire Studios is strictly governed by our licensing terms. By purchasing from us, you expressly agree that you will not:
- Use any digital file as the primary value component of physical merchandise or Print-on-Demand products for resale.
- Upload, use, or embed any asset for the purpose of training artificial intelligence, machine learning systems, or generative models.
- Mint, tokenise, or commercialise the assets as NFTs or via blockchain technology.
- Remove, alter, or obscure any embedded metadata, copyright notices, or digital watermarks.
For full details regarding permitted uses, please read our Licensing Terms & Legal Agreement page. Unauthorised use constitutes copyright infringement and may result in legal action.
4. Orders, Pricing, and Payments
- Pricing: All prices are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any product or service at any time.
- Payments: Payments are securely processed via Stripe. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made through our store.
- Custom Quotes: Commercial Rights-Managed licences require approval and are subject to custom pricing based on your intended media, territory, duration, and reach.
5. Fulfillment and Delivery
- Physical Prints: Physical orders are routed to our global Print-on-Demand network. Production and transit times vary. Please review our Shipping & Delivery Policy for detailed estimates.
- Digital Vault: Digital purchases are delivered via a secure, pre-signed download link sent to your email. This link automatically expires after 48 hours.
- Customs & Duties: For physical shipments crossing international borders, the buyer is responsible for any customs fees, import taxes, or duties applied by their local government.
6. Returns, Refunds, and Consumer Rights
Because of the nature of our products, our return policies are strictly defined:
- Physical Prints: As bespoke, custom-made goods, physical prints are exempt from standard change-of-mind return policies.
- Digital Files: By purchasing a digital download, you consent to immediate delivery and acknowledge the loss of your 14-day right of withdrawal under EU consumer law.
- Defective Goods: We will replace physical prints damaged in transit or digital files that are corrupted. For full instructions, please review our Refund & Return Policy.
Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights under Irish or European Union consumer protection law.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, OpenÉire Studios shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the website, any conduct or content of any third party on the website, or unauthorised access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless OpenÉire Studios and its affiliates, partners, and employees from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your misuse of our licensed assets.
9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any separate agreements whereby we provide services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland and applicable European Union law. OpenÉire Studios reserves the right to pursue enforcement and remedies for copyright infringement in the jurisdiction where the infringement occurs and/or where the licensee is established.
10. Changes to Terms & Conditions
We reserve the right to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms by posting updates and/or changes to our website. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to the website following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
