Membership Terms and Conditions

Published November 3rd, 2024 17:55

The following Membership terms and conditions (Membership Terms) govern access to, and use (as a Member) of the Made in Home web site (Site).

The Site and the content uploaded to the Site are available to be viewed by any person browsing the internet but only a person, who has agreed to the Membership Terms, is able to buy Products.

Once you click "I agree" you will be deemed to have agreed to the Membership Terms and a legally binding contract, incorporating those Membership Terms, will then exist between you and Specialstl in relation to your use of the Site.

If you do not want to agree to these Membership Terms, you should navigate away from this page.

If you agree to be bound by the Membership Terms on behalf of a third party (which may include your employer or other entity) named in the details you provide before clicking "I agree", you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind that third party to the Membership Terms. If you do not have the authority to do so, then you must not agree to be bound by the Membership Terms or use the Site on behalf of such third party.

1. Membership

You may only become a Member if you are 18 years or over.

You do not have an automatic entitlement to Membership and Specialstl may, at its sole discretion, elect to:

  1. refuse your request to become a Member; or

  2. once Membership is granted, suspend, terminate or restrict your Membership at any time.

Specialstl is not obliged to give reasons for any decision it makes to suspend, terminate or restrict your Membership or to reject your request to become a Member.

Your Membership is non-transferable.

Once Membership is granted you will only be able to access all areas of the Site with use of the username and password you set up at the time you become a Member.

You are responsible for each and every access or use of the Sites that occurs in conjunction with use of your username and password.

Use of your username and password is conclusive evidence that you have accessed the Membership sections of the Site.

You must use all reasonable efforts to keep your username and password confidential.

You must not allow any third party to access the Site using your username and password and make use of the Site on your behalf.

You must notify Specialstl in writing as soon as you become aware of any unauthorised use of your Member Account, username or password.

You acknowledge and agree that you are liable for, and will indemnify Specialstl, its related bodies corporate, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees against, any and all claims made by a third party arising out of your access to, and use of, the Sites as a Member.

2. Availability and Use of the Sites

The Site will usually be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week or as otherwise stated on the Site.

Specialstl may, in its absolute discretion, and for any reason, and at any time, with or without notice:

interrupt or suspend your right to access the whole or any part of the Sites; and/or

alter, interrupt or suspend the provision of the whole or any part of the content and/or the services available on the Site.

You agree that Specialstl will not be liable to you for any loss that you may suffer as a result of any such interruption, suspension or alteration.

When accessing the Sites (as a Member) and using the content and/or the services available on the Site, you must also comply with any directions, instructions or protocols posted on the Site from time to time.

3. Proprietary Rights

Specialstl, its licensors, advertisers or affiliates own all:

  1. the content of the Site (other than Products which are owned by Members who offer them for sale on the Sites);

  2. the look and feel, design and the organisation of the Site;

  3. the compilation of the materials on the Site; and

  4. the intellectual property rights (if any) subsisting in the works described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above.

Your use of the Site does not grant to you any ownership or like interest in any content, code, data or materials you may access on or through the Site or any intellectual property rights subsisting in any of those things.

4. Copyright & Trademark Claims

Specialstl respects the intellectual property rights of others. Specialstl requires that you do the same.

If you believe that a work of which you are the owner is infringed by a Product being offered for sale on a Site has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please forward all the following information in one document (Copyright Claim) to Specialstl:

  1. your address, telephone number, and email address;

  2. a description of the location of the alleged infringing material;

  3. a description of the copyright work that has been allegedly infringed;

  4. a statement by you, that you warrant that the information given in the Copyright Claim is accurate and that you are either the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the copyright owner's behalf;

  5. your physical or valid electronic signature.

On receipt of a Copyright Claim Specialstl will take the actions we consider necessary to manage the administration of the Copyright Claim.

5. Buying Products

When you buy a Product, you acquire a license to use that Product from the Seller of the Product.

You acknowledge that Speciastl has the right to enforce against you the terms of any license that you have from a Seller.

  1. If you buy a Product, you do so on the following terms:

  2. you cannot cancel an order for a Product once the order has been submitted;

  3. Specialstl does not give any undertaking as to the continued availability of Products offered for sale on the Sites;

  4. once your order for a Product is accepted, and you pay the fee, you acquire a license to use the Product in accordance with the conditions of the license that you acquire;

  5. ownership of the Product remains with the Seller;

  6. payment of the fee will be made at the time of purchase; and

  7. Sellers are not permitted to buy any of their own Products.

6. Refunds

If you want a refund or credit on a Product you must make a claim to Support. We will assess claims on their merits, with regard to the digital nature of the goods and any preview or inspection that was available before purchase.

There is no obligation to provide a refund or credit for reasons including (but not limited to) if you:

  1. have changed your mind about a Product;

  2. bought a Product by mistake;

  3. do not have sufficient expertise to use the Product;

  4. ask for goodwill; or

  5. can no longer access a Product because it has been removed by its Seller from the Site and/or due to the fact that your account on the Site was blocked (you are advised to download Products immediately upon purchase).

When a refund or credit has been assessed by us as due, this will be paid using the same manner of purchase (that is, if the Product was bought using Specialstl USD Credits, the Buyer will be refunded in Specialstl USD credits, if the Product was bought using Specialstl EUR Credits, the Buyer will be refunded in Specialstl EUR credits, if the Product was bought using Specialstl GBP Credits, the Buyer will be refunded in Specialstl GBP credits; if the Product was bought using a credit card via PayPal the Buyer will be refunded using that mechanism).

You acknowledge and agree that despite Specialstl's reasonable precautions, Products may be listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to a typographical error or similar oversight. In these circumstances, Specialstl reserves the right to cancel or reverse a transaction, even after your order has been confirmed and a payment has been processed. If a transaction is cancelled, Specialstl will promptly arrange for any payment to be credited or refunded.

You agree and acknowledge that if, as a Buyer, you lodge a dispute with PayPal we are unable to make any payment out of your Member Account until the PayPal dispute has been closed.
