TERMS OF SERVICE
Idlewild Studio, LLC
Terms of Service
Last Revised on July 11, 2024
This Terms of Service Agreement (the “ToS”) is made between Idlewild Studio LLC (“Idlewild,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you, the individual choosing to use our Online Services as defined below (“you,” or the “user”).
Our Privacy Policy is subject to this ToS. There are terms in the Privacy Policy that materially affect how your personal information is stored, accessed, and processed. As such, you should read our Privacy Policy in addition to this ToS.
Acceptance of ToS
We know these ToS’s can be tedious to get through. However, by accessing our Online Services, it is understood that you agree to comply and be legally bound by the terms set out in this ToS, which is why you really should stick it out and read the whole thing.
Changes to Terms
From time to time, we may need to make changes to this ToS and may do so at any time. The date at the top of this ToS represents when this ToS was last revised. It is important to check this ToS from time to time to ensure that you are all caught up to date. By continuing to access or use our Online Services after a change has occurred, you agree to be bound by our updated ToS.
Online Services this ToS Covers
Idlewild is a fine art company that provides an online store (the “Shop”) where customers can browse original art and purchase prints (collectively the “Products”). This ToS applies to the Shop, our online services, including our website, www.idlewild.studio, our social media pages, and any future online services we develop (collectively the “Online Services”). This ToS is effective from the date you start using our Online Services and will continue until you cease using our Online Services.
Services This ToS Doesn’t Cover
We may, at times, link to the websites and services of other brands or partners that we love. When you click on one of these links, you are leaving Idlewild, and this ToS no longer applies. The way our partners or other third parties do business is out of our hands, and we assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party website or service. Please note that when you are using any other third-party platform to interact with our Online Services, such as Google, Instagram, or Facebook, you agree to their services policies, and this ToS is, in addition, not in place of such agreements. Additionally, all purchases of our Products are hosted by Shopify; as such, when purchasing a Product, you are subject to Shopify’s policies.
Conditions Before You Access Our Online Services
Our Online Services are not targeted or intended to be used by people under the age of 18, and you are not permitted to make purchases from our Online Services unless you are over the age of 18. All children between the ages of 13 and 17 must have permission from their parent or guardian before accessing our Online Services. If you live outside of the United States, your country may apply stricter age limits. In some cases, even if you are older than 13, you may not be legally allowed to access our Online Services regardless of having parental permission. You must be authorized to use our Online Services and enter into this ToS if you are acting on behalf of a company.
User Accounts
We don’t require you to have a user account to browse our Online Services or purchase our Products. If you wish to interact with our social media platforms or purchase our Products with a Third-Party Vendor, you may be required to create an account with that social media platform or Third-Party Vendor (the “Third-Party Accounts”). We have no control over Third-Party Accounts or the personal information requested by these third parties. We do not have access to passwords created for Third-Party Accounts.
Suspension and Termination of Access to Online Services
-
Involuntary Suspension or Termination of Access to Online Services
We may notify you if we have a reason to believe that you have violated this ToS and may issue you a written warning outlining the behavior we believe is in violation. However, we reserve the right to prevent access to our Online Services at any time for any reason.
-
Voluntary Termination of User Accounts
You are free to delete any Third-Party Account at any time voluntarily. Your account may be terminated by contacting the third party directly.
Pricing, Billing & Availability
There may be times when we need to change our Product pricing or remove a Product from our offerings. As such, prices advertised and availability of Products are not guaranteed until a purchase has been made. The full Product price is due upon purchase, and we do not offer any payment plans, though one may be available to you through buy-now-pay-later third-party payment processing services. All payments are processed via PCI-complaint payment processors via Shopify; this means we never personally see or store your credit card information when you purchase a Product. We also do not guarantee that any offerings on our Online Services will be available permanently, and we reserve the right to amend, delete and add to the offerings on our Online Services at our full discretion without notice. Any coupons and gift cards offered are subject to the terms and conditions of the issued coupon/gift card (including validity and expiration periods).
Commissions
We only engage in specifically commissioned Products at our full discretion. You can submit a commission inquiry via email at info@idlewild.studio. Submitting a commission inquiry is not a valid order and does not mean that your commission request has been placed. If we are able to take on your commission request, we will reach out to you directly with a quote and further information.
Product Descriptions
We strive to accurately describe our Products with photos, prices, sizing, colors, materials, and general product descriptions, as appropriate for each Product (collectively the “Product Descriptions”). However, we make no warranties concerning the accuracy of such Product Descriptions and we reserve the right to update them as needed and without notice.
Art Prints
All works listed on the website are single artworks based on the artist’s own expression and composition and created entirely by the artist (“Original Works”). We may offer select Original Works as prints (the “Prints”). Prints will be downsized, two-dimensional versions of the Original Work and are available in a selection of sizes. Many of our Prints are available with a digital artist signature, as displayed in the Shop (“Open Edition Prints”). Open Edition Prints are not limited in number. Some Prints will be limited in number and hand-signed and numbered by the artist (“Limited Edition Prints”). Please review the Product Description to ensure you are purchasing and will receive the correct version of the Print that you desire, whether an Open Edition or Limited Edition Print. We retain full copyright ownership in all of our artwork. Ownership is of the physical artwork only, not the copyright. As the owner, you may ONLY display or sell for non-commercial purposes the very same physical artwork you have purchased. All other reproduction, distribution, appropriation, exploitation, adaptation, recreation, publishing, license, sale, or display of the Original Works or Prints is expressly prohibited unless we have signed an agreement with you stating otherwise.
Shipping & Fulfillment
To ensure that any Products that you order comply with our quality expectations, we take time to inspect each Product. Accordingly, please allow up to four weeks for your Product to arrive. If we are aware of any anticipated shipping delays, we will announce the delay on our website. We require an indirect signature to confirm all order deliveries. If you purchase a Product that is only available for pre-order, you will be charged for that Product when it is ready to ship. We will provide an anticipated release date for pre-ordered Product, but you understand that the release date may change unexpectedly. We will use best efforts to provide notice of any delays to the release of a pre-ordered Product, and notice when the Product is shipped.
Refunds & Exchanges
Due to the nature of our goods, all sales are final. Please carefully review our Product Descriptions - including styles, sizes, and framing options - to ensure that you are selecting a Product that suits your taste and works for your space, before placing your order. Exchanges are only available for damaged for defective Products and can only be made for identical Products. If a Product you ordered arrives damaged or defective, please contact us at info@idlewild.studio within 7 business days of when you receive your order so we can make it right. Your email must include photographs of the shipping container, packaging, and the Product, so that we can properly assess the concern. If your return for exchange is accepted, we will send you a printable shipping label and instructions for shipping your package. You will have 7 business days to return the Product in its original condition, in its original packaging, along with the receipt or other proof of purchase. Products sent back without our approval will not be accepted for return or refund. Once we receive your return for exchange, please allow 10 business days for us to process it and send your replacement Product. Shipping fees will not be refunded. We’ll send you an email if your return for exchange has been accepted and let you know if a replacement Product is on its way. We reserve the right to reject a return for exchange if, in our sole discretion, we determine that a Product has been damaged after its arrival. We monitor exchanged Products to identify potential misuse or abuse of our policies. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
We do our best to monitor comments and messages on our social media profiles, but sometimes comments and messages on social media can go unseen. Contacting us via email is the best way to make sure that we see your message so that we can address your concern.
Terms of Sale & Risk of Loss
By placing an order with Idlewild, you are offering to buy a Product, representing that you are of legal age to form a binding contract, and representing that all information you provided in connection with the order is true and accurate and that you are an authorized user of the payment method provided. When we send you an order confirmation, that is not an acceptance by Idlewild of your order. We send that to let you know we received your request, but there are a few steps necessary on our end before we can accept it.
Prior to our acceptance of an order, verification of information may be required. Idlewild reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order, or any portion thereof, even after your receipt of an order confirmation from us, for any reason whatsoever. Idlewild reserves the right to limit the number of items ordered and to refuse service to you without prior notification. In the event that an item lists an incorrect price, either due to typographical or other error, Idlewild has the right to refuse or cancel an order placed for the incorrect price, regardless of whether the order is being or has been processed. If payment has already been made or if your account has already been charged for the purchase and the order is cancelled, we will refund your original payment method in the amount of the incorrect price.
The risk of loss and titles for any Product(s) purchased by you pass to you upon our delivery of the Product(s) to the carrier.
Toxic Chemicals Disclaimer
We may use certain materials such as paints, canvases, paper, inks, and drawing utensils that may contain toxic chemicals which are known in the State of California or in other jurisdictions to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduction harm. If you would like to know about specific materials that we have used to create a specific Product, please email us at info@idlewild.studio and we will make reasonable efforts to identify the specific materials used and inform you of what those materials are.

When you post a public review, post, or comment on our website or on a third-party platform (including Instagram, Facebook, and Google Reviews), you grant to Idlewild a perpetual, worldwide, payment-free, irrevocable license to use, repost, republish and share any such public reviews, posts, or comments that you make about Idlewild for our publicity and marketing purposes.

Letting Us Know About ComplaintsAt Idlewild, we hope that we can work out any complaints or differences that we may have with you respectfully and calmly. If you have any concerns about Idlewild’s Online Services, please reach out to Idlewild to let us know. If we cannot work out our differences together, then the following mandatory binding arbitration will apply to resolve the dispute.
-
Mandatory Binding Arbitration
If a dispute arising out of or relating to Online Services provided under this ToS cannot be amicably resolved, the parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute with the help of a mutually agreed-upon Travis County, Texas, mediator. Each party will bear their own mediation costs unless otherwise expressly agreed upon by both parties. The parties must mediate in good faith until a settlement is reached or the mediator declares an impasse has been reached. If a settlement is not achieved through mediation, the dispute must be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in San Antonio, Texas, per its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“AAA Rules”). Except that mandatory binding arbitration will not apply with respect to any claims relating to infringement or misuse of intellectual property or any legal dispute that falls into the jurisdiction of a small claim court and would be more efficiently and cost-effectively resolved in a small claims court. Arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within one (1) year after the claim occurs or within one (1) year of the party asserting the claim and becoming reasonably aware of the act or omission giving rise to the claim. If applicable law prohibits a one-year statute of limitations for asserting claims, claims must be asserted within the shortest period of time permitted by the applicable law. Except for attorney fees, all other costs associated with the arbitration will be shared equally between the parties, except where the AAA Rules provide otherwise.
-
Prevailing Party
If an arbitrator or court of law determines a claim against Idlewild to be frivolous or an opinion is found in our favor by the arbitrators or court, you agree to reimburse Idlewild for all fees associated with the arbitration and/or court case, including attorneys’ fees and arbitration/court costs.
-
Class Action Waiver
You agree to waive any right to participate in a class or representative action or proceeding and warrant that any claims brought against Idlewild will be initiated only in your individual capacity. Any relief awarded by an arbitrator or court of law will not affect other users of Idlewild’s Online Services.
Assignment
You are not entitled to assign this ToS, in whole or in part, to another person, without the prior written consent of Idlewild. Idlewild reserves the right to assign this ToS, in whole or in part, to any third party at any time without notice, including but not limited to any individual or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Idlewild business or assets.
Survival of Terms Beyond Termination
All provisions in this ToS that specifically state or logically ought to survive the termination of this ToS will survive such termination, including but not limited to payment obligations, intellectual property rights, warranties, indemnities, and limitation on liability clauses.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Idlewild of any term or condition in this ToS will be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition in the future, or of any preceding or subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition of this ToS or any other agreement. If any term or condition in this ToS is declared to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the provisions will remain in effect and will be enforceable to the fullest extent possible.
Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
Except where otherwise required by mandatory law, this ToS and our Privacy Policy are to be governed by and interpreted, constructed, and enforced per the laws of the state of Texas without regard to conflict of law provisions. All disputes are to be resolved in the jurisdiction of Travis County, Texas.
Entire Agreement
This ToS and our Privacy Policy represent the entire and exclusive agreement between Idlewild and users of our Online Services. All previous written and oral agreements and communications related to the subject matter of this ToS and Privacy Policy are superseded. If any additional service agreement is provided or has been provided in addition to this ToS and Privacy Policy, such agreements are intended to be in addition and not in lieu of this ToS. To the extent that there are any provisions in such service agreements that conflict with the terms of this ToS, the terms of the service agreement will prevail.
