Terms & Conditions
THIS USER AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is a binding legal contract between 2BE STUDIOS, a business entity established under the laws of Yucatan, Mexico ("2be Studios") and the user, either individually or representing an entity (“User”), concerning the access and use of 2be Studios’ website: https://www.2-be.co/ (the “Website”) and any other digital platforms, channels, mobile sites, or mobile applications associated, linked, or otherwise connected to it. If the User does not accept and comply with all the terms, conditions, and obligations set forth in this Agreement, they are expressly forbidden from using the Website and must cease its use immediately. Subsequently, any relationship between the User and 2be Studios will terminate and have no further validity or effect between the parties, except for any outstanding financial obligations the User may owe to 2be Studios for services provided.
Ownership of Intellectual Assets
Unless stated otherwise, the www.2-be.co website is the exclusive property of 2be Studios. All underlying code, databases, features, software, website aesthetics, audio, video, text, images, and graphics, irrespective of their format (collectively referred to as the “Materials”), along with the trademarks, service badges, and logos present therein (referred to as the “Emblems”), are owned and overseen by 2be Studios. They are safeguarded by copyright, trademark, and other relevant intellectual property laws, both from Yucatan, Mexico, and international treaties. The Materials and Emblems are presented “As Is” solely for your reference and individual consumption. Unless explicitly mentioned in this Agreement, no segment of the Website or its Materials can be duplicated, mirrored, gathered, reissued, uploaded, showcased, encoded, translated, broadcasted, shared, traded, licensed, or utilized for any business intent without the explicit prior written consent of 2be Studios. All rights concerning the Website, Materials, and Emblems are reserved by 2be Studios.
Rights to Created Content
While 2be Studios retains rights to Submissions, as detailed in Section 4 (“User Feedback”), all design and foundational files crafted for the User (“Creations”) are the property of the User. The User will be the exclusive copyright holder for all Creations. Should any legal provision inadvertently grant 2be Studios ownership of a Creation, either in entirety or partially, 2be Studios unconditionally and perpetually transfers all its rights in that Creation to the User, without any restrictions. The User assures that any materials shared with 2be Studios, either as references or to be integrated into a Creation during its development, are their property and do not violate or misappropriate any third-party rights, including but not limited to intellectual property rights and rights to personal likeness. 2be Studios retains the prerogative to showcase the User's design work on public platforms (like social media, their website, etc.) unless otherwise specified as per section 18 of this Agreement.
Third-Party Fonts Usage
Should any Creation include fonts that aren't the property of 2be Studios and necessitate a commercial license for the User to lawfully reproduce, circulate, or exhibit the Creation, 2be Studios will notify the User in writing. This notification will indicate that the Creation contains one or more Third-Party Fonts and that the User must acquire the necessary licenses for these Third-Party Fonts from their respective owners to legally use the Creation. The notification will provide adequate details for the User to discern which licenses are essential and how to procure them. Provided that 2be Studios has duly informed the User about the inclusion of Third-Party Fonts as mentioned, the User bears all responsibility for any repercussions stemming from their failure to secure the requisite licenses for any Third-Party Fonts used in a Creation.
