Terms of Service

The Hue & Stripe team is committed to making your experience with us a positive one. We firmly believe that our tools will help bring your business to the next level - especially in the online sphere. We urge you to review the following terms and conditions and become familiar with them. We look forward to helping you take advantage of cutting-edge web technologies for years to come.

This page explains the terms by which you may use the Hue & Stripe website and software provided on or in connection with the service (collectively the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by this Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement"), whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. This Agreement applies to all image professionals (users), clients, web visitors and others who access the Service. This Agreement hereby incorporates the terms of the Hue & Stripe Privacy Policy including all future amendments or modifications thereto.

Please review this agreement carefully.

1. Use of the Platform

Eligibility

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to fully perform all of your obligations hereunder. You further represent and warrant that you are under no legal disability or contractual restriction that prevents you from entering into this Agreement. You must be 13 years old or older to use or access the Service, unless you are under 13 years old and your use of the Service is directly supervised by your parent or guardian or another authorized adult who agrees to be bound by this Agreement. Any use or access to the Service by anyone under 13 who is not directly supervised by an adult is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The Service may not be available to any users previously removed from the Service by Hue & Stripe.

2. Hue & Stripe Account

Image Professional Accounts

In order to access some areas of Hue & Stripe's Platform, image professionals must create an account. No user may use another's account without permission. Image professionals's registration information must be true, accurate, current, and complete. Image professionals must update any changes to registration information on the 'My Account' page. Users may not use others' passwords. The image professional is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account and passwords. Image professionals agree to immediately notify Hue & Stripe of any unauthorized use of passwords or accounts or any other breach of security. Image professionals also acknowledge that failure to sign out from an account at the end of each session may result in unauthorized use of the account. Hue & Stripe will not be responsible for any loss or damage that may result if users fail to comply with these requirements.

3. Paid Services & Earnings Payouts

Pricing of Paid Memberships & Services

Certain aspects of the Service may be provided for a recurring membership fee or other charge. If you elect to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the pricing and payment terms listed on the Service which we may update from time to time. Hue & Stripe may add new services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion; however, any price changes or changes to your subscription plans will apply no earlier than 30 days following notice to you.

Recurring membership charges will be charged automatically at the start of the next membership period (e.g. every three months for a quarterly membership subscription). Image professionals with a paid membership can review their past and upcoming membership charges on the 'My Account' page.

Commission Earnings & Payouts

Image professionals with a paid membership may be eligible to earn sales commissions during their use of the Platform, at Hue & Stripe's sole discretion. Hue & Stripe will apply any earned commissions to the next membership charge. Once locked commission earnings equal the upcoming membership charge, additional commissions earned (in excess of the upcoming membership charge) can be paid by direct deposit or PayPal transfer once the commission balance meets a $25.00 USD minimum payout threshold. Payouts will occur within 10 business days of Hue & Stripe receiving payment from the merchant. We rely on third party tools to track commissionable sales and earnings and at times missing data or tracking discrepancies may arise via these parties.

Users accept responsibility for paying any and all applicable tax related to earnings from Hue & Stripe.

Commission Tracking Reliability

Though Hue & Stripe makes great efforts to accurately record sales and pay commission earnings, image professionals recognize that they shall have no right or claim to any amount of sales commission on any transaction. The Platform can not be held responsible for any failure on the part of our partners to accurately track sales. Affiliate commission tracking can fail for multiple reasons and legitimate sales can go unrecorded and uncompensated. Additionally, the Platform may at any time in its sole discretion revoke an image professional's ability to earn commission on the Platform.

Refund Policy

Hue & Stripe does not offer refunds for memberships subscriptions. However, if the current membership period is less than two weeks elapsed or if the current subscription period includes any months which have not yet begun then Hue & Stripe can record the number of days remaining and issue a credit for those days when an image professional resumes their membership subscription in the future. This courtesy is provided at Hue & Stripe's sole discretion. Any "locked" commissions (including those being applied to the next payment) will be paid out at the time of account pause.

Pause or Terminate a Membership

To pause or cancel a membership subscription, users must send an email communication to support@HueAndStripe.com with their request. If a user terminates their service before a trial period is expired, their account will be closed at no charge. If a user terminates their services after a trial period expires, any credits offered will be issued according to the policy expounded above in the section entitled Refund Policy.

Any uploaded content owned by an image professional (including client Wardrobes) will be retained on the Platform and accessible to clients or web visitors (as previously configured by the image professional) for a period of time, to enable resuming their membership without workflow interruption or loss of data.

However, Hue & Stripe makes no guarantee that account data (including invoices, Client Wardrobes and all containing content, or photo uploads) will be retained beyond 6 months from the date of membership pause.

4. Free Trials

Hue & Stripe offers free trials for certain paid membership levels to allow you to try our Service. Hue & Stripe reserves the right to set eligibility requirements for free trials. At the end of your free trial period, we will charge the relevant membership fee for the next subscription cycle to your nominated payment method, unless you cancel your subscription prior.

5. Use of Emails

Email addresses collected by Hue & Stripe will never be used for purposes outside of the Hue & Stripe application. Such purposes include notifying clients or consultants of messages or updates to their closets. We will never sell nor distribute any list of clients using Hue & Stripe, nor their contact information. We take data privacy very seriously.

6. Service Rules

We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement. If your account is terminated for any reason, you must obtain written authorization from Hue & Stripe prior to establishing another account. If you attempt to establish another account without obtaining such authorization, Hue & Stripe may permanently ban you from the Service. You may not have more than one active account at any time without the written consent of Hue & Stripe in each instance.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Platform users, including image professionals, clients, and web visitors. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other users. Hue & Stripe shall have no liability for your interactions with other users, or for any user's action or inaction.

Anti-Discrimination

Hue & Stripe does not support and will not tolerate its Service being used to discriminate against others, especially when based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, ancestry or national origin. You are not permitted to use the Service in a manner which would or would likely incite, promote or support such discrimination and you must not use the Service to incite or promote hostility or violence.

If we believe in our sole determination that your use of the Service is being used to discriminate, especially if based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, ancestry or national origin, we may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason.

For any dispute with Hue & Stripe, you agree to first contact us at support@HueAndStripe.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally.

In the unlikely event that Hue & Stripe has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any Hue & Stripe claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in Denver County, Colorado, unless you and Hue & Stripe agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party's data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights. All claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. You agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and Hue & Stripe are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

17. No Waiver

No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Hue & Stripe's failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

18. Regarding Terms of Use

Periodically, we may make modifications to the Terms of Use which we will post on the site along with the most recent revision date. We may send you an update at those times with the summary of the changes, but it is your responsibility to view these Terms periodically. If you do not agree to the Terms your only remedy is to discontinue your use of the Service and to cancel any Accounts you have created using the Service. If you violate the Terms, Hue & Stripe reserves the right to issue you a warning regarding the violation or immediately terminate or suspend any or all Accounts you have created using the Service.
