Fuerza Template Purchase Terms
Last updated on 5/27/2021
Please read these terms carefully before purchasing our products or services. By purchasing our products or services, you accept and agree to our Template Terms & Policies.
Note that you have to be of legal age (i.e. 18 years or older) to fully comply with this agreement.
Overview
The following Template Terms & Policies state how you may use and access our templates, including all related resources such as video tutorials, workbooks, checklists, blog posts, and emails.
This is an agreement entered by "you"—the purchaser and/or user of any product, service, or resource—and "us," Monforte Studio.
Offerings
Our company's offerings include non-tangible Squarespace templates, along with supplementary resources. These resources come in various forms of content, including but not limited to videos, templates, workbooks, checklists, emails, and other support materials.
Payments
We use a third party to receive any payments you make on our website. All information obtained during your purchase—such as name, address, payment method, credit or debit card number, and billing information—may be collected by both us and our payment processing platform.
You agree to only purchase offerings for yourself or for another person who has given you the express consent to provide their information as stated above.
By purchasing our offerings, you agree to the following terms:
Any payment information you provide is true and complete
Charges incurred by you will be honored by your bank, credit card company, or e-commerce company (e.g. PayPal)
You will pay the incurred charges at the agreed upon prices, including taxes
You give us permission to automatically charge your debit card, credit card, or e-commerce account
If your initial payment method is dishonored, you will still pay the incurred charges, including any surcharge
We reserve the right to cease your access to our offerings immediately and permanently if payment is not received within 7 days. You will still be held liable for the full cost of the offering.
Terms of Use
All the intangible assets that are accessible on or offered through our website are protected by the United States intellectual property laws. The use and reproduction of these assets without accordance to this agreement is strictly prohibited.
Intellectual Property
Our website, products, services, and resources contain intellectual property that are solely owned by Monforte Studio and its suppliers. These intangible assets—including but not limited to the text, information, logos, images, graphics, audio, video, and aesthetic—are protected by copyright and other proprietary laws.
Monforte Studio's name, logo, slogan, and other related identifiers are trademarks of the company. You are not allowed to use these marks without prior written permission from the company.
Your purchase of our templates does not result in the transfer of the intellectual property to you. You must agree to abide by these laws for the continued use of our offerings.
If you violate the company's intellectual property rights, your access to our offerings will be terminated immediately without refund. You may also be subject to further penalties and damages as the law permits.
Limited Licensing
Each purchase grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, single-seat license to the template. This means that you may use the template for only one website. To use the template more than once, you must purchase a separate license for each project.
By accessing or using our offerings, you agree to abide by these terms:
You may not modify, share, or exploit any of our offerings in whole or in part.
You may not use, adapt, or represent our offerings as if they were created by you.
You may not duplicate, trade, or distribute our offerings to another person in any way that earns them money.
You may not create any derivative work and offer competing offerings based on information contained in your purchase.
You may not violate our intellectual property rights, including copyright and trademark, as specified above.
You understand that engaging in unauthorized use of our offerings is considered theft, and we reserve the right to prosecute it as a civil and/or criminal offense.
Template Access
You are granted lifetime access to the templates and supplementary resources, such as tutorials and workbooks. This means you will have access for the entire life of these offerings from the date of purchase, including content updates.
We reserve the right to discontinue our offerings at any time in the future, for any reason. If this happens, we will give you a 30-day notice so you have ample time to back up the resources.
Should we decide to repackage these existing resources into a shorter or longer offering, you agree that we are not obligated to provide you that separate offering for free or at a discount.
We do our best to ensure that your experience of our templates are free of interruptions. However, due to the digital nature of our offerings, we cannot guarantee that your access will not be restricted periodically to make way for repairs, maintenance, or updates.
We will not be held liable for refunds or damages, should our offerings be rendered inaccessible to you due to network failures, server overload, backup procedures, or other similar reasons.
Media Release
By posting, submitting, or distributing content—such as comments, photos, or videos—in our website and community, you are granting us the right to use them in our marketing or promotional efforts, now or at any time in the future.
This right includes granting us the use of your name and intellectual rights such as copyright and trademark to identify you as the author of your content. You acknowledge that this usage would require neither permission from nor compensation to you.
We are not obligated to display your content on our offerings, and we may choose to remove your content at any time for any reason.
Confidentiality
When you purchase our offerings, we may collect your personal data, including but not limited to the following:
Name, address, and contact details
Demographic information (e.g. age, income, location)
Billing and payment information (e.g. credit or debit card)
Preferences, interests, and other information that may identify you
By participating in the use of our offerings, you grant us the permission to use and store your personal data. The company respects your privacy, so we will not disclose any information you provide except as stated in this agreement.
We will exert our best efforts to keep your data safe and secure. However, we make no assurances about our ability to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal data. Submitting your confidential information is done at your own risk.
Lawful Purposes
You agree to access and use our templates and supplementary resources for legitimate and lawful purposes only. This means that you shall not use our offerings in a manner that infringes the rights of others, encourages crime, or constitutes fraud.
Monforte Studio reserves the right to revoke your access from our offerings if you violate these terms and policies.
We also reserve the right to investigate complaints and reported violations and take any action we deem necessary or appropriate. This includes but is not limited to reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement and disclosing any information as needed.
Policies
The following policies identify the duration and scope of template installation, support, and refund. Note that we cannot help you with issues that arise from third-party plugins and user modifications.
Installation Policy
Your purchase of any template includes the delivery of your template copy to your email within 2 business days of purchase.
If you avail our installation service on an existing Squarespace site, we will do our best to complete it within 7 business days. This service includes the following:
Immediate access to the template's video tutorials, code documentation, and other supplementary resources
Transfer of the purchased template as a separate site to your Squarespace account within 2 business days.
Inclusion of placeholder content, images, and graphics as featured in the demo website
Configuration of site styles and plugins to match the template's demo website
These actions fall outside the scope of the template installation:
Migration or transfer of your existing website content and media
User-specific configurations and customization of the template in any form, including changes to content, colors, and functionality
Purchase or setup of a new Squarespace account or domain
Installation of third-party plugins
Revisions of any form
We strive to represent our templates as accurately as possible. But due to Squarespace updates, there may be minor differences between the demo version and the installed template. Some sections or blocks may also appear unstyled before user-specific configurations.
Though installation would not change the content on your existing website, it does materially affect how the content is displayed in the browser. You can set up a cover page or a temporary password during the process.
Since the template will be transferred to your account as a separate site, you will have to manually migrate any preexisting content. Take note that you will also have to replace the placeholder images as well or purchase their respective licenses from our affiliate.
Please understand that backlog or other unforeseen circumstances (e.g. medical emergency, natural disaster, act of war) may cause delays to our services. We will do our best to keep you updated on progress. However, no compensation will be provided for the delayed delivery of the template.
We also do our best to protect your existing website data during the installation. However, in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, Monforte Studio cannot be held liable for lost or corrupted blocks, sections, pages, or code. We strongly encourage you to back up your site.
Support Policy
The company offers 14 days of support beginning on the date of your purchase. Within this period, you are entitled to a reasonable amount of help from us—the definition of which will be determined by Monforte Studio at our sole discretion.
Requests for support must only be made by submitting a ticket to hello@monforte.studio. We aim to respond to your questions within 72 hours during weekdays, but please understand that this may take longer for more technical problems or during peak periods.
We provide assistance for the following areas of concern:
Pre-installation of our website templates
Clarification on our template features or settings
Effects of Squarespace updates on our templates
General template bug fixes and patches
However, take note that our support does not cover the following:
General Squarespace questions and issues
Design strategy or guidance on template use
Compatibility with third-party plugins
Issues from modifications of custom code or functionality
Server or hosting configurations
Upon submitting a ticket, be prepared to present your proof of purchase to confirm your order.
We reserve the right to suspend or deny our support services without notice for anyone who disrespects our support team. We will also not tolerate unreasonable demands or abuse of our support system.
Refund Policy
Due to the non-tangible, digital nature of our offerings, we do not issue refunds or exchanges if you are unsatisfied with them. Please review the template page and live demo prior to purchase. Kindly contact us if you have any other questions or clarifications.
Monforte Studio reserves the right to refuse the delivery of the product for any reason. If payment was made before refusal, the company will promptly issue the refund. You acknowledge that we do not have control over the third-party payment processor and associated fees.
The company also reserves the right to cancel any installation order at any time. If this occurs, you will be refunded the full amount of the service but not the cost of the template itself.
