You can contact us if you have any questions or would like further information.

1) Terminology

The websites located at https://procreate.com and https://folio.procreate.com and all related domains and subdomains ("Site"), are owned and operated by Savage Software Group Pty. Ltd. ("we", "us" or "Savage"), an Australian private company.

The Site is accessed by you ("you") under these Terms and Conditions ("Terms").

In these Terms:

"Intellectual Property Rights" means any patent, registered design, trademark or name, copyright or other protected right.

"Moral Rights" means the:

1. right of attribution of authorship;
2. right to prevent false attribution of authorship; and
3. right of integrity of authorship.

Other capitalised terms are as defined throughout these Terms.

2) Site Use

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and us, which governs our relationship with you in relation to the Site. By accessing the Site, viewing any content or using any services available on the Site you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you must not access the Site.

3) Site Users and Members

You may access the Site either with or without signing up for a Procreate account ("Account"). In these Terms, Site users without an Account are referred to as "Users" and Site users with an Account are referred to as "Members". Both Users and Members are bound by these Terms to the extent applicable.

Users may access the Site in a view only capacity, with the exception of the Procreate Support Service. Users may view content and Discussion Boards on the Site but cannot create or share content or otherwise interact with Users or Members on the Site.

Both Users and Members may use the Procreate Support Service, which consists of an online contact form.

2. you are an individual who can form a legally binding contract at law; and
3. you are at least 16 years old.

Minors over the age of 16 can be Members but are restricted from viewing Artwork marked as Mature Content.

5) Account, Username and Password

You must select a unique username for your Account. You must not use a username that is, at our sole discretion, vulgar, offensive, defamatory, obscene, hateful or otherwise unlawful or objectionable. We may modify or void usernames as we see fit.

You must keep your password secure and confidential.

You are solely responsible and liable for all activity conducted through your Account. If you become aware of or reasonably suspect any security breach, including any loss, theft or unauthorised disclosure or use of your password, you must immediately report the actual or suspected security breach to us by contacting us.

All information you provide to us must be true, complete and current, and you must update this information as necessary to keep it true, complete and current.

6) Services

The use of Procreate Folio constitutes the "Services" available to Members through the Site, which includes the ability to:

1. share artwork created using the Procreate App ("Artwork") on Procreate Folio;
2. comment on Artwork shared by other Members and respond to comments on your Artwork;

   3. Stories;
   4. Marketplace;
   5. General;
   6. Artists' Advice;
   7. Resources;
   8. Hardware & Accessories.

Comments on Artwork and contributions to Discussion Boards, both of which include all text, images and links to the Site and third party websites, as well as any text or files submitted through the Procreate Support Service, are referred to as "Content" in these Terms.

7) Rules

Whenever you access, use, or otherwise deal with the Services or the Procreate Support Service, you must comply with:

1. these Terms;
2. all applicable laws and regulations;
3. all acceptable-use policies and other policies implemented by Savage with respect to the Site or the Services from time-to-time; and

Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. Please view our Privacy and Cookie Policy for details on how we collect and handle the information you provide to us.

9) Artwork and Content Restrictions

Any Artwork or Content which violates any part of these Terms is subject to deletion at our exclusive and absolute discretion. We may also exercise our right to modify Artwork or Content to remove offending text or imagery, or temporarily hide Artwork or Content from the Site pending further action.

Violation of these Terms may also lead to the banning of your Account or IP address/es, and/or proof of illegal activity being passed on to relevant authorities.

10) Prohibited Content

You must not communicate, post, promote, or endorse any Artwork or Content on, via, or in connection with the Site or to Procreate which could be construed as:

3. screenshots or examples that are reasonably necessary for assistance or support.

You can only advertise products for sale under Marketplace and can only advertise free products under Resources.

14) Ownership and Rights in Artwork and Content

Uploading or otherwise submitting or sending Artwork or Content does not give rise to any transfer of ownership in that Artwork or Content. Any Artwork or Content uploaded to the Site remains the property of the relevant owner ("Creator").

You must not do anything that infringes or compromises another Creator's Intellectual Property Rights (including Moral Rights) in any Artwork or Content. This means you must:

1. give credit to the Creator (where possible and practicable);
2. not say you or another person is a Creator of Artwork or Content if you/they are not; and
3. not do something with/to Artwork or Content (such as change or add to it) that would have a negative impact on the Creator's reputation.

You also must not seek to or actually commercially gain from the use of another Creator's Artwork or Content without the express consent of that Creator.

You must not upload the Artwork of another Creator to the Site without their express consent. If the Artwork was not Created by you and/or is not owned by you when you upload it, in uploading the Artwork you must credit the Creator and you warrant to us that you have obtained the necessary consent or licence from the Creator of that Artwork to do so as applicable.

15) Ownership of Savage Property

As between you and Savage, Savage or the relevant third party solely owns the following ("Savage Property"):

1. all content on the Site or through the Services, including all text, photos, videos, templates, and other content provided by Savage (collectively, the "Savage Content") and all intellectual property rights in the Savage Content; and
2. all tools, hardware and software used to provide the Services (collectively, the "Savage Tools");
3. the graphical design of the Site, the Site user interface and the look and feel of the Site and the Site user interface; and
4. the names, logos and trade marks of Savage and on the Site (including third parties' marks).

16) Licensing of Artwork and Content

By uploading or otherwise submitting or sending Artwork or Content via the Site, you grant a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide licence:

2. to Users and Members to use, communicate share and display your Artwork and Content in accordance with these Terms,

("Licences").

For the avoidance of doubt, where you do not own the Artwork that you are uploading, you must ensure that you are authorised to provide the Licenses to us.

By uploading or otherwise submitting or sending Artwork or Content (including sharing/posting links to third party sites) via the Site, you represent and warrant to us that:

1. you have the right to upload the Artwork and grant the Licences;
2. the granting of the Licences by you and the use of the Licences by us will not infringe any intellectual property rights (including Moral Rights) of a third party; and
3. the file/s uploaded and/or links provided contain no malicious code capable of causing damage to, interference with or unauthorised access to the Site or other Procreate systems or other Users and Members.

By sending Artwork or Content to us for the purpose of obtaining technical support, you grant to us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide licence to store and use your Artwork or Content for internal testing and trouble-shooting purposes.

We will contact you seeking your consent if we would like to share or use your Artwork or Content in any context not covered in these Terms.

18) Contests

We may provide contests on the Site. If we do, they will be governed by rules we impose upon contestants. If you participate in a contest, you must comply with the rules of that contest. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the rules of a contest, the rules of the contest will govern with respect to that contest to the extent of the inconsistency.

19) Hardware, Software, and Internet Connection

You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all hardware, software and connections required to access and use the Site and the Services.

You must take your own precautions (including antivirus software) to ensure that your access to the Site and Services does not expose you to viruses or other code that is harmful or may assist in causing harm.

Savage will not be responsible for the workings or failures of your hardware, software or Internet access.

28) Governing Law

Savage operates from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, and makes no representation that the Site is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. These Terms will be governed by the laws in effect in Tasmania, Australia.

29) Disputes with Other Users or Members

You are solely responsible for resolving any disputes you may have with other Users or Members. We may, but are not obliged to, assist you with this.

31) Entire Agreement

These Terms supersede all prior agreements of the parties regarding the Site and the Services and constitute the whole agreement with respect to the Site and the Services.

32) Severability

If and to the extent any provision of these Terms is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion of the provision/s shall be void in the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability, and shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or of any other provision in any jurisdiction.

33) Assignment
