Our website is hosted by Shopify, Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and provide the Service to you.

The headings used in this Terms of Service are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms of Service.

 

SECTION 1 - AGE REQUIREMENTS; PROHIBITED USES; TERMINATION OF ACCESS

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or, if any of your minor dependents use this site, that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.

You may not use our products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws). 

You must not transmit any worms or viruses or any code of a destructive nature.

 A breach or violation of any of the Terms of Service will result in an immediate termination of your access to the Service.

  

SECTION 2 - RENTALS

The Service includes the rental and sale of neon and/or LED lights (“Products”). Before your order is accepted for the rental of a Product, you must fill out and submit the rental form on our site. We will then contact you to determine whether the Product(s) you wish to rent are available and will let you know if we are able to accept the order. Your order is not accepted until we send you confirmation that your order is accepted.

RENTAL FEE. The rental fee (“Rental Fee”) for the Product will be the total of the rental fee, insurance charges and delivery charges listed on the site for your rental of the Product. When you submit your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize GLO Studio to charge your payment card for the Rental Fee. GLO Studio will charge your payment card the amount of the Rental Fee immediately upon acceptance of your rental order. 

Rental Fees exclude all federal, state and local taxes, GST, fees, customs, duties, levies and other governmental assessments, all of which shall be paid by you directly or, if paid by GLO Studio, shall be paid by you to GLO Studio in connection with your rental order.

CANCELLATION POLICY. All rental orders are final and no refunds will be issued, except if we fail to timely deliver or otherwise make available the Products in accordance with your pick up and/or delivery instructions.

SHIPPING. We offer pick up and delivery in the New York area. Outside of the New York area, we will ship via a courier service chosen by GLO Studio using premium grade packaging (the “Shipment Packaging”).  Delivery and/or shipping fees, if any, are payable by you and will be set forth on your order form. 

Upon delivery, you bear responsibility for the Product(s). You acknowledge that a Secure Shipping Address is required for all rental orders. A Secure Shipping Address means a location where an individual can physically receive Product(s). You acknowledge that providing anything other than a Secure Shipping Address will result in delivery delays and may result in additional delivery fees for which GLO Studio will not be liable. You will be liable for all such delays and additional delivery fees.

RETURN SHIPPING. With delivery of the Product, unless otherwise agreed by GLO Studio and you, GLO Studio will provide you with the Shipment Packaging, a shipping label and instructions for returning the Products to GLO Studio (“Return Packaging”). If you lose the Return Packaging, you will be responsible for returning the item at your own expense by the expected return date, and providing GLO Studio with a tracking number. If you lose or fail to return the one or more pieces of Shipment Packaging, you will be charged $50 per piece of Shipment Packaging.  You are responsible for all risk of loss until the Product(s) are delivered to us.

USE OF THE PRODUCTS. You agree to treat the Products with great care. You are responsible for loss, destruction or damage to the Products due to theft, loss, fire, breakage or any other cause, other than normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear encompasses minor damage that naturally and inevitably occurs and is covered by the insurance you paid for with your rental of the applicable Product. If you return a Product that is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, then you agree that we shall charge you, and you shall pay, for the price for repairing or replacing the Product, as determined in our discretion, up to the Retail Value for the Product.

RENTAL PERIOD; RETURN OF THE PRODUCTS; EXTENSIONS. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by GLO Studio and you, the rental period is seven (7) days from the date of shipment. You agree to return the Products to GLO Studio in the Return Packaging on or before the return date for the Products that are identified in the online invoice for your order. You may request to extend your order for a Product on the Site or by phone to GLO Studio; provided that any extensions are subject to other orders for that Product and to pre-payment of the additional Rental Fee applicable to that Product for the period of time of the extension. You must return the Product by delivering the Product in the Return Packaging to our location in New York or a location of any courier service chosen by GLO Studio by 12 p.m. on or before the date that the Product is due.

LATE FEES. If you do not return the Products by 12p.m. on or before the date that the Product is due, a late fee of one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) will be charged to the payment card you used to pay the Rental Fee or to any other payment card included in your account information that you have provided to GLO Studio for each day that you are late returning the Products, and you agree to pay such late fees, up to an amount not to exceed 200% of the Retail Value plus applicable sales tax (plus the Rental Fee). The late fee is payable for each order of Products that is not returned when due, not for each Product that is the subject of the order that is late. If you have not returned a Product within twenty (20) days after the return date for the Product, your late return will be considered a non-return and GLO Studio will charge your payment card 200% of the retail value for each Product that is not returned, plus applicable sales tax. 

 

SECTION 3 – PURCHASES

DESIGN. Note that, because our products are handmade, the item you receive may differ slightly from the digital rendering. If you have purchased a custom design, you agree that a digital rendering of the custom design requested by you must be approved by both parties for production.

PAYMENT. GLO Studio’s receipt of payment in the amount(s) and upon the schedule set forth on the accompanying invoice is a condition to beginning production of your order.

PROCESSING AND DELIVERY. Unless otherwise agreed and set forth in the accompanying invoice, LED orders will be shipped to you by a courier service selected by us at the rate provided in the accompanying invoice, and neon orders deliverable in the New York City area will either be hand-delivered at a mutually agreed time or be made available for pick up at the GLO Studio situated at 133 Norfolk St. New York, NY 10002, at a mutually agreed time. Orders deliverable outside the NYC area will be shipped via a courier service selected by us at the rate provided in the accompanying invoice. All deliveries must be signed for by you or your authorized agent.

INSTALLATION.

Self-installation. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by us (and for an additional fee), you are responsible for the installation of your order.

Site preparation. If you hire us to do the installation for you, you must prepare the installation site in accordance with the instructions we will provide in advance of the installation. Please prepare the installation site before our installers arrive. Upon our arrival, we do allow a 30-minute grace period for further preparations and changes to the site if needed. After the grace period, we will make a good faith determination of whether the site is ready. If the site is not deemed ready for installation, the installation fee will be deemed fully earned, and any additional requests for our installation services will be subject to our standard fees. If our installers leave because the site is not ready, they will leave your order with you, and we will not be responsible for damage or loss of your order after it is in your possession, except as set forth in our Refund Policy, which is available for your review at https://glo-studio.com/policies/refund-policy.

CANCELLATION. Prior to 48 hours before your scheduled installation, you may cancel the installation and receive a full refund of the installation fee. If you cancel between 24-48 hours before your scheduled installation, you may only receive a 50% refund of the installation fee. If you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled installation, we cannot refund any part of the installation fee.

INSPECTION. All orders should be inspected by you for any manufacturing defects immediately upon receipt. Note that because our products are handmade, minor variations from the digital rendering should not be considered defects. At the time of delivery, you will be asked to acknowledge, among other things, that you have inspected your order to your satisfaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if you elect not to inspect your order at the time of delivery, the terms of our Refund Policy will continue to apply.

RETURNS. Since all of our work is handmade, everything is final sale. However, should you be unhappy with your piece for any reason, please reach out to us so we can help make it right as best we can. For more details, please review our Refund Policy.
