Product Descriptions
Alive Studios attempts to be as accurate as possible.

If a product offered by Alive Studios itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling charges on our products are added to purchase prices based upon shipping zone, weight, and size for packages.
Due to export restrictions we are unable to sell computers outside the United States. Due to the weight of our carts freight costs generally make it prohibitively expensive to ship carts outside the continental United States. Please call 678-404-7473 or email us at sales@alivestudiosco.com for freight charges on bundles that include carts.
Prices and Terms
Prices are our net prices to schools and are subject to change. Applicable sales tax will be added to your invoice. Terms are net 10 days, unless special invoice dating has been granted. Unless otherwise indicated, all prices are in U.S. dollars.
With respect to items sold by Alive Studios, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our webstore or catalog may be priced incorrectly. If the correct price of an item sold by Alive Studios is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
All items purchased from Alive Studios are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and PayPal. Please contact our Sales Team at 678-404-7473 if you wish to pay by credit card other than through our e-commerce site..

If you do post content or submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant Alive Studios a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media.

Other Businesses
Parties other than Alive Studios may operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines on or through this site. In addition, we provide links to the sites of affiliated companies and certain other businesses. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant the offerings of, any of these businesses or individuals or the content of their Web sites.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
THE ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) AND OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY ALIVE STUDIOS ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. ALIVE STUDIOS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICES, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALIVE STUDIOS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ALIVE STUDIOS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICES, INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICES, ALIVE STUDIOS’ SERVERS OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS SENT FROM ALIVE STUDIOS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. ALIVE STUDIOS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF ANY ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICE, OR FROM ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH ANY ALIVE STUDIOS SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING.
CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
Disputes
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of any Alive Studios Service, or to any products or services sold or distributed by Alive Studios or through AliveStudiosCo.com will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.
Any dispute related to this Agreement shall be resolved under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules of JAMS in Atlanta, Georgia. The JAMS rules are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ or by calling 1-800-352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS’s rules. Alive Studios will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration for claims resolved in our favor unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Applicable Law
By using any Alive Studios Service, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Georgia, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Conditions of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Alive Studios.
