LEO HYDRA STUDIO

Legal

Terms of Service

Agreement

By accessing or using the Leo Hydra website and any associated services (“Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all documents incorporated by reference, including our Privacy Policy and Conditions of Sale. If you do not agree to any of these terms, you must cease use of the Site immediately. Leo Hydra reserves the right to amend these terms at any time, at its sole discretion, without prior notice or notification. Continued use of the Site after any amendment constitutes unconditional acceptance of the revised terms.

By placing an order or otherwise transacting with the studio, the buyer represents and warrants that they are at least eighteen (18) years of age, legally competent to enter into binding contracts, acting in their own capacity (or duly authorised on behalf of another), and not a sanctioned or restricted person or entity under any applicable law. Any order placed by a person who does not meet these conditions is void at the studio's option.

Use of the site

The Site is provided for lawful use only. You agree not to use it in any way that is unlawful, harmful, or disruptive to others. We reserve the right — without prior notice, liability, or explanation — to refuse access, suspend or terminate use, or cancel orders for any person or entity, at our sole and absolute discretion.

All content on the Site — including artwork images, text, design elements, and branding — is the exclusive property of Leo Hydra or its licensors and is protected by copyright. You may view content for personal, non-commercial purposes only. Any reproduction, redistribution, modification, or commercial use of Site content without our prior written consent is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

Orders and payment

All orders are subject to acceptance by Leo Hydra at its sole and absolute discretion. The studio reserves the right to decline, hold, or cancel any order, at any time, before or after payment, for any reason or no reason, including but not limited to pricing or description errors, product unavailability, sanctions compliance, fraud concerns, payment anomalies, or suspected abuse. Prices, descriptions, dimensions, and specifications are subject to change at any time without notice, and typographical or clerical errors are not binding on the studio and may be corrected or cancelled at any time prior to or following order confirmation.

Payment may be made in USDT on the Polygon network or by bank transfer, as offered at checkout. By submitting payment the buyer represents that the funds originate from a legitimate source and do not involve any proceeds of unlawful activity. The buyer bears sole responsibility for providing accurate order, shipping, and payment details; Leo Hydra accepts no liability for orders lost, misdirected, delayed, or unfulfilled due to buyer error, whether as to address, payment amount, wallet address, reference, or otherwise.

All sales are final at the point of payment confirmation. Any chargeback, reversal, or unauthorised payment dispute initiated by the buyer in respect of a valid order constitutes a material breach of these terms and may result in immediate cancellation of service, permanent refusal of future orders, and recovery of the full amount together with all associated costs, fees, and legal expenses. Further payment and refund provisions are set out in our Conditions of Sale.

Intellectual property

Purchase of any artwork or print transfers ownership of the physical object only. All copyright, moral rights, reproduction rights, adaptation rights, and any other intellectual property rights in or arising from any work remain vested exclusively and in perpetuity with the artist and Leo Hydra, and are not transferred, licensed, or assigned by virtue of any sale. No implied licence of any kind is granted.

The buyer may not reproduce, photograph for commercial use, exhibit publicly for commercial gain, license, create derivative works from, or otherwise commercially exploit any purchased work without prior written consent from the studio, which may be withheld, granted, or granted subject to conditions (including licensing fees or royalties) at the studio's sole discretion. Private display for personal, non-commercial purposes is permitted. Unauthorised use constitutes copyright infringement and may be pursued by the studio without further notice. The studio requests notification of any secondary-market resale for the purpose of maintaining provenance records.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and all products are provided “as is”, “as available”, and “with all faults”. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Leo Hydra disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. No warranty, representation, or guarantee — whether oral, written, or otherwise — made by any employee, agent, or representative of the studio shall create any obligation unless set out in writing and signed by an authorised officer of the studio.

The studio makes no representation as to the investment value, resale potential, market appreciation, rarity ranking, or long-term condition of any artwork or print. All references to edition size, provenance, or medium are correct to the studio's knowledge at the time of publication and are not warranties. Any purchase is made entirely at the buyer's own risk.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Leo Hydra, its officers, employees, affiliates, contractors, insurers, agents, or counsel be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages of any kind — including, without limitation, loss of profit, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or emotional distress — arising from or related to the Site, any purchase, any work, any act or omission of the studio, or any failure, delay, or impairment of delivery or service, whether the claim is framed in contract, tort, strict liability, statute, or otherwise, and regardless of whether the studio has been advised of the possibility of such loss.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the studio's total cumulative liability to any buyer for any and all claims arising out of or related to the Site or a transaction shall not exceed the amount actually paid by that buyer for the specific order giving rise to the claim. Any claim against the studio must be brought within one (1) year of the event giving rise to it, or be forever barred.

Indemnification

The buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Leo Hydra, its officers, employees, affiliates, contractors, insurers, agents, and counsel from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including legal fees on a full indemnity basis) arising from or related to the buyer's use of the Site, the buyer's breach of these terms, the buyer's infringement of any third-party right, or any act or omission of the buyer in connection with any work purchased from the studio. This obligation survives any termination of this agreement and applies to claims brought against any indemnified party by any third party, including insurers and successors in interest.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Leo Hydra operates, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms, the Site, or any transaction shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in that jurisdiction. The buyer irrevocably submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts and waives any objection on grounds of forum non conveniens or inconvenience.

The buyer waives any right to participate in any class action, collective action, consolidated proceeding, or representative action against the studio, and agrees that any claim shall be brought individually. Nothing in this clause limits the studio's right to seek injunctive relief or recovery of amounts owed in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Force majeure

Leo Hydra shall not be liable for any failure, delay, suspension, or impaired performance arising from any circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disaster; war, terrorism, or civil unrest; pandemic or epidemic; governmental or regulatory action; sanctions or embargo; change in law or policy; courier failure, delay, loss, or misdelivery; customs holds, inspections, or seizures; power, telecommunications, or internet outage; blockchain, network, or exchange disruption; labour disputes; or failure of any third-party service on which the studio relies. In any such circumstance, the studio may, at its sole discretion, suspend, delay, modify, substitute, or cancel any order without liability, and is not obliged to provide notice beyond what is reasonably practicable.

General

If any provision of these terms is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. No failure or delay by the studio in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of that right, nor shall any partial exercise preclude any other or further exercise. No waiver by the studio shall be effective unless set out in writing and signed by an authorised officer.

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Conditions of Sale, constitute the entire agreement between the buyer and Leo Hydra with respect to the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements, whether written or oral. These terms may not be assigned by the buyer, but may be assigned by the studio at its sole discretion, including in connection with any merger, restructuring, or sale of the business.

Questions about these terms may be directed to the studio via our Contact page.
