12.3 Acceptance Through Purchase or Download

By purchasing, ordering, downloading or otherwise obtaining any Product through AKBSTOCK, you agree that the transaction and your use of the Product are subject to these Terms and the applicable License Agreement.

12.8 Refusal or Withdrawal of Acceptance

If you do not agree to these Terms, or if you no longer wish to be bound by them, you must discontinue use of the Website and related services.

Discontinuing use does not cancel or remove obligations, restrictions, payment responsibilities or License Agreement provisions that arose before such discontinuation or that are intended to survive termination.

13. Relationship With Other Legal Documents

13.1 Purpose

These Terms form part of the broader legal framework governing the AKBSTOCK Website, Products, services and related activities.

AKBSTOCK may publish separate legal documents and policies addressing specific matters in greater detail.

These documents are intended to operate together and should be read in conjunction with these Terms where applicable.

13.2 AKBSTOCK Legal Foundation

The AKBSTOCK Legal Foundation establishes the general philosophy, principles and legal framework upon which AKBSTOCK operates.

These Terms are intended to operate consistently with the AKBSTOCK Legal Foundation.

Where reasonably possible, these Terms and other AKBSTOCK legal documents shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the principles established in the AKBSTOCK Legal Foundation.

13.3 License Agreements

The use of Products obtained from AKBSTOCK may be governed by a separate License Agreement applicable to the relevant Product, purchase or Subscription Plan.

Such agreements may include the Commercial License Agreement, Subscription License Agreement and Exclusive License Agreement.

Customers must comply with the License Agreement applicable to the Product or licensing method through which the Product was obtained.

13.4 Policies and Legal Notices

AKBSTOCK may maintain additional policies and legal notices governing particular aspects of the Website and its services.

These may include, where applicable, the Privacy Policy, Refund & Cancellation Policy, Copyright Policy, Copyright Complaint (DMCA) procedures, Acceptable Use Policy and other published legal notices.

Such documents form part of the legal framework governing use of AKBSTOCK to the extent that they apply to the relevant activity or transaction.

13.5 Specific Terms Prevail

Where a specific Product, service, Subscription Plan, license or transaction is subject to additional terms, those specific terms shall apply to that particular matter.

If a direct conflict exists between these Terms and a specific applicable License Agreement or other specific legal document, the more specific provision shall govern that particular subject matter, unless expressly stated otherwise or prohibited by applicable law.

13.6 No Independent Expansion of Rights

No legal document, policy, product description, Website content or other material published by AKBSTOCK shall be interpreted as granting rights beyond those expressly provided under the applicable Terms or License Agreement.

Any rights not expressly granted to the Customer remain reserved by AKBSTOCK or the applicable rights holder.

13.7 Updates to Related Legal Documents

AKBSTOCK may update its legal documents and policies from time to time where reasonably necessary.

The version applicable to a particular matter may depend upon the nature of the document, the relevant transaction and the effective date stated in that document.

Customers are encouraged to review the applicable legal documents before purchasing, downloading or using Products or services.

13.8 Reading the Legal Framework Together

These Terms should not be read in isolation where another AKBSTOCK legal document expressly applies to the same activity, Product, service or transaction.

Together, the applicable Terms, License Agreements, policies and legal notices establish the rights, responsibilities and conditions governing the relationship between AKBSTOCK and its Customers.

15. Eligibility

15.1 General Eligibility

To access or use AKBSTOCK, you must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under applicable law.

By accessing the Website, creating an Account, purchasing or downloading a Product, or using any AKBSTOCK service, you represent that you satisfy the eligibility requirements applicable to your use of the Platform.

15.2 Minimum Age Requirement

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or have reached the age of legal majority applicable in your jurisdiction, to independently purchase Products, enter into License Agreements or create binding commercial obligations through AKBSTOCK.

Persons who have not reached the applicable age of legal majority may use AKBSTOCK only under the supervision and responsibility of a parent or legal guardian and only where permitted by applicable law.

15.3 Legal Capacity

You must have the legal capacity and authority required to accept these Terms and perform the obligations arising from your use of AKBSTOCK.

You must not use the Website or enter into a transaction if you are legally prohibited from doing so or otherwise lack the capacity required under applicable law.

15.4 Business and Organizational Users

If you access or use AKBSTOCK on behalf of a company, business, partnership, agency, manufacturer, design studio, organization or other legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to act on behalf of that entity in connection with such use.

The entity may be bound by these Terms and the applicable legal documents in relation to activities carried out under its authority.

15.5 Authority to Purchase and License Products

A person placing an Order, purchasing a Product, obtaining a License or subscribing to a Subscription Plan on behalf of another person or legal entity must have appropriate authority to do so.

AKBSTOCK may rely upon the information and representations provided during the transaction unless there is reasonable cause to question their accuracy or authority.

15.6 Accurate Eligibility Information

You must provide accurate and truthful information where AKBSTOCK reasonably requires information to determine eligibility for an Account, Product, License, Subscription Plan or other service.

You must not misrepresent your age, identity, authority, business status or other material information for the purpose of obtaining access to AKBSTOCK or any of its Products or services.

15.7 Geographic Eligibility

AKBSTOCK may make its Website and Products available to Customers in multiple countries and regions.

However, availability does not mean that every Product, payment method, License, Subscription Plan or service is legally available or appropriate in every jurisdiction.

Users and Customers are responsible for ensuring that their access, purchase and use of AKBSTOCK are permitted under the laws applicable to them.

15.8 Restricted or Prohibited Access

You are not eligible to use AKBSTOCK where such use would violate applicable law, a legally binding restriction or a valid restriction imposed under these Terms.

AKBSTOCK may restrict or refuse access where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, platform security, intellectual property protection or enforcement of its legal documents.

15.9 Previously Suspended or Terminated Users

A User whose Account or access has previously been suspended or terminated for a material violation of AKBSTOCK’s legal documents may not create another Account or attempt to bypass the restriction without prior authorization from AKBSTOCK.

Creating or using another Account for the purpose of circumventing a valid suspension or termination may result in further restriction of access.

15.10 Responsibility for Determining Eligibility

Users and Customers are responsible for determining whether they are legally eligible to access the Website, enter into transactions and use Products under the applicable License Agreements.

AKBSTOCK may establish reasonable eligibility requirements for particular Products, services, Subscription Plans or features where necessary.

Meeting the general eligibility requirements of this Section does not automatically create a right to access every AKBSTOCK Product, service or feature.

15.11 Changes to Eligibility Requirements

AKBSTOCK may modify eligibility requirements where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, improve platform security, prevent misuse or support changes to its Products and services.

Where a material change affects existing Users or Customers, AKBSTOCK will apply such change in accordance with applicable law and the relevant legal documents.

16. User Accounts & Account Security

16.1 Account Registration

Certain features of AKBSTOCK may require Users to create an Account.

When registering an Account, you must provide the information reasonably requested by AKBSTOCK and ensure that such information is accurate, complete and current.

AKBSTOCK may establish reasonable registration requirements to protect the Platform, its Customers and its services.

16.2 One Account per User or Authorized Entity

Unless otherwise permitted by AKBSTOCK, Users should maintain only the number of Accounts reasonably necessary for their legitimate personal or business use.

Accounts must not be created in bulk, through misleading identities or for the purpose of bypassing restrictions, download limits, Subscription Plan limits or other controls established by AKBSTOCK.

16.3 Accurate Account Information

You are responsible for maintaining accurate and reasonably current information associated with your Account.

You must not knowingly provide false, misleading or unauthorized information when creating or maintaining an Account.

Where material Account information changes, you should update it through the available Account settings or contact AKBSTOCK Support where necessary.

16.4 Account Credentials

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account credentials, including your password and any other authentication information associated with your Account.

You should use reasonable security practices and must not intentionally disclose your password or authentication credentials to unauthorized persons.

16.5 Responsibility for Account Activity

You are responsible for activities conducted through your Account to the extent such activities occur under your authority, control or through your failure to take reasonable security precautions.

If an Account is used on behalf of a business or organization, the authorized Account holder and the relevant entity are responsible for ensuring that Account access is appropriately controlled.

16.6 Account Sharing

Personal Account credentials must not be shared with unauthorized persons.

A Subscription Plan, License, download entitlement or other Account benefit may not be shared, transferred or made available to another person except where expressly permitted by the applicable plan, License Agreement or written authorization from AKBSTOCK.

Users must not use Account sharing to circumvent purchase requirements, download limits, licensing restrictions or Subscription Plan conditions.

16.7 Unauthorized Access

If you know or reasonably suspect that your Account has been accessed without authorization, your credentials have been compromised or unusual activity has occurred, you should promptly change your password where possible and contact AKBSTOCK Support.

AKBSTOCK may take reasonable protective measures where unauthorized or suspicious Account activity is detected.

16.8 Account Security Measures

AKBSTOCK may use reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect Accounts and reduce unauthorized access, fraud and misuse.

Such measures may include authentication controls, security monitoring, login restrictions, verification procedures and other protective mechanisms where appropriate.

No online account or security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

16.9 Account Verification

AKBSTOCK may request reasonable verification of Account information where necessary for security, fraud prevention, payment verification, licensing compliance or protection of intellectual property.

Failure to provide reasonably requested verification may result in temporary restriction of affected Account features until the matter can be appropriately reviewed.

16.10 Account Misuse

Accounts must not be used for fraudulent, unlawful, abusive or unauthorized purposes.

Users must not use an Account to circumvent technical restrictions, licensing conditions, download limits, payment requirements, security measures or other controls implemented by AKBSTOCK.

Account misuse may result in appropriate action under these Terms and other applicable legal documents.

16.11 Account Suspension for Security Reasons

AKBSTOCK may temporarily restrict or suspend an Account where there is a reasonable security concern, suspected unauthorized access, suspected fraud, significant misuse or another legitimate risk to the Platform, Customers or intellectual property.

Where reasonably practicable, AKBSTOCK will review the relevant circumstances before taking permanent action.

Temporary security restrictions do not automatically determine that a User has violated these Terms.

16.12 Account Recovery

AKBSTOCK may provide Account recovery or password reset procedures through available support or technical systems.

A User requesting Account recovery may be required to provide reasonable information sufficient to verify control of or entitlement to the Account.

AKBSTOCK may refuse or delay an Account recovery request where identity or Account ownership cannot reasonably be verified.

16.13 Customer Responsibility for Devices

Users are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to secure the devices, browsers, email accounts and networks through which they access AKBSTOCK.

AKBSTOCK is not responsible for unauthorized Account access resulting solely from circumstances outside its reasonable control, subject to any rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.

16.14 Account Closure by User

A User may request closure of their Account through the available Account features or by contacting AKBSTOCK Support.

Account closure does not automatically cancel or extinguish obligations, payment responsibilities, licensing restrictions or other provisions that arose before closure or are intended to survive termination.

Certain records may be retained where reasonably necessary for legal, accounting, licensing, fraud prevention or legitimate business purposes, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

16.15 Effect of Account Closure

Following Account closure, access to certain Account features, purchase records, download areas, Subscription Plan benefits or other services may no longer be available.

Customers are responsible for securely retaining lawfully downloaded Product files and relevant purchase records where appropriate.

Any continuing right to use previously obtained Products remains subject to the applicable License Agreement and the circumstances under which the Product was originally obtained.

16.16 No Ownership of Account Infrastructure

Creation of an Account does not grant the User ownership of the AKBSTOCK Website, Account system, software, technical infrastructure or related intellectual property.

The Account provides access to applicable Platform features subject to these Terms and other relevant legal documents.

16.17 Continuing Security Responsibility

Account security is a shared responsibility.

AKBSTOCK will make reasonable efforts to maintain appropriate Platform security measures, while Users are expected to protect their credentials, devices and Account access.

Users should promptly report suspected security issues relating to their Accounts through the official AKBSTOCK support channels.

17. Products & Digital Content

17.1 Nature of AKBSTOCK Products

AKBSTOCK provides digital textile designs, artwork and related creative content intended primarily for professional, commercial and creative use.

Products made available through AKBSTOCK are digital products and do not include physical goods unless expressly stated otherwise.

The exact nature, format and characteristics of a Product may vary according to its category and Product description.

17.2 Product Categories

AKBSTOCK may offer Products across different textile design categories, including Seamless Patterns, Kurti Front Panels, Dupatta Designs, Full Kurti Sets, Home Décor designs and other creative categories introduced from time to time.

Different Product categories may have different dimensions, file specifications, design structures, licensing options and intended applications.

Customers should review the information provided for the relevant Product before obtaining or using it.

17.3 Digital Nature of Products

Products supplied through AKBSTOCK are delivered in digital form.

No physical fabric, printed sample, garment, paper artwork or other physical item is included with a digital Product unless AKBSTOCK expressly states otherwise.

Images showing Products on garments, fabrics, interiors, accessories or other objects may be used for presentation or demonstration purposes and do not represent the delivery of those physical items.

17.4 Product Information

AKBSTOCK aims to provide clear and reasonably accurate information about Products offered through the Website.

Depending on the Product, such information may include the Product category, dimensions, resolution, file format, design characteristics, licensing information and other relevant details.

Customers should review the available Product information before completing a purchase, download or licensing transaction.

17.5 Product Previews and Mockups

Product previews, thumbnails, mockups and presentation images are provided to help Customers evaluate the visual appearance and potential application of a Product.

Such previews may be resized, watermarked, compressed, cropped or displayed within illustrative mockups for Website presentation purposes.

The downloadable Product file may therefore differ from the Website preview in resolution, dimensions, watermarking or presentation format as described in the applicable Product information.

17.6 Colour Representation

AKBSTOCK makes reasonable efforts to present Product colours accurately on the Website.

However, colours may appear differently depending upon monitors, displays, device settings, colour profiles, software, printing systems, inks, substrates, fabrics and production conditions.

Website previews should therefore not be treated as a guarantee of identical colour reproduction in physical production.

17.7 Dimensions, Resolution and File Specifications

Where Product dimensions, resolution, file format or other technical specifications are stated, Customers should review those specifications before obtaining the Product.

Different Products may be prepared for different design applications and production requirements.

Customers are responsible for determining whether the stated specifications are suitable for their intended workflow, software, printing process and final production requirements.

17.8 Product File Formats

Products will be supplied in the file format stated on the applicable Product page or other relevant Product information.

The availability of a Product in one file format does not imply that alternative, editable, layered, vector, source or other file formats are included.

Any additional file format or source file must be expressly stated as included before it forms part of the Product.

17.9 Product Compatibility

Customers are responsible for ensuring that their software, hardware, printing systems and production workflow can reasonably support the file format and specifications of the Product.

AKBSTOCK does not guarantee compatibility with every software application, machine, printing system, device or production environment.

Where appropriate, Customers should verify compatibility before using a Product in commercial production.

17.10 Production and Printing Variations

Actual production results may vary because of factors outside the digital artwork itself, including fabric type, printing technology, inks, colour profiles, machine calibration, production settings, finishing processes and other manufacturing conditions.

AKBSTOCK provides the digital artwork but does not control the Customer’s printing or manufacturing environment.

Customers should conduct appropriate sampling or production testing before mass manufacturing where reasonably necessary.

17.11 Product Modifications by Customer

Where modification of a Product is permitted under the applicable License Agreement, the Customer may make such permitted modifications for authorized use.

The Customer is responsible for modifications made after downloading the Product and for ensuring that such modifications remain consistent with the applicable License Agreement.

AKBSTOCK is not responsible for defects, errors or production problems introduced solely through modifications made by the Customer or another third party.

17.12 Product Availability

The availability of Products on AKBSTOCK may change over time.

AKBSTOCK may add, update, reorganize, replace or discontinue Products where reasonably necessary for quality control, legal compliance, intellectual property protection, platform management or business requirements.

The appearance of a Product on the Website does not guarantee that it will remain available indefinitely.

17.13 Product Corrections and Updates

AKBSTOCK may correct or update Product information where an error, technical issue, inaccurate description or other problem is identified.

Where a material issue affects a Product already obtained by a Customer, AKBSTOCK may take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances.

Such action may include correcting Product information, replacing an affected file or providing other appropriate support, subject to the applicable legal documents.

17.14 Intellectual Property in Products

Products made available through AKBSTOCK are protected by applicable intellectual property laws and remain subject to the rights of AKBSTOCK or the applicable rights holder.

Purchasing, downloading or accessing a Product does not by itself transfer copyright, ownership or unrestricted rights in that Product.

Permitted use of a Product is determined by the applicable License Agreement.

17.15 Customer Review Before Use

Customers should review the downloaded Product and its relevant specifications before incorporating it into commercial production.

Where production suitability depends upon fabric, colour reproduction, printing technology, scale, repeat structure or other manufacturing conditions, Customers should conduct appropriate sampling or testing before mass production.

This responsibility is particularly important where large-scale manufacturing, commercial printing or significant production costs are involved.

17.16 No Physical Production Service

Unless expressly stated otherwise, AKBSTOCK provides digital artwork and related licensing only.

AKBSTOCK does not manufacture fabric, print garments, operate the Customer’s production machinery or control the final manufacturing process.

Any printing, manufacturing, fabrication or physical production undertaken using a Product remains separate from the supply of the digital Product by AKBSTOCK.

17.17 Product Quality Review

AKBSTOCK aims to review Products before publication using reasonable quality standards appropriate to the relevant design category.

Such review may include consideration of artwork quality, resolution, composition, repeat structure where applicable, file preparation and general production suitability.

Quality review does not eliminate the Customer’s responsibility to evaluate the Product for the specific production environment in which it will be used.

17.18 Product-Specific Conditions

Certain Products or Product categories may be subject to additional specifications, restrictions or conditions stated on the relevant Product page or in an applicable License Agreement.

Where such Product-specific conditions apply, they shall be read together with these Terms.

Nothing stated on a Product page shall expand licensing rights beyond those expressly granted under the applicable License Agreement.

18. Orders, Pricing & Payments

18.1 Purpose

This section explains the general terms governing orders, Product pricing, payments and transaction processing on AKBSTOCK.

By placing an order through the Website, the Customer agrees to provide accurate information and to complete the transaction in accordance with these Terms and the applicable legal documents.

18.2 Placing an Order

Customers may place orders for eligible Products, licenses, subscriptions or other services made available through AKBSTOCK.

Before submitting an order, the Customer should review the selected Product, applicable license, price and other relevant transaction information.

The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the information submitted during checkout is accurate and complete.

18.3 Order Submission

Submitting an order constitutes a request to purchase the selected Product, license, subscription or service subject to these Terms.

An order is not considered successfully completed merely because it has been submitted.

Completion of an order may depend upon successful payment processing, transaction verification and any other checks reasonably required by AKBSTOCK or its payment service providers.

18.4 Order Acceptance

AKBSTOCK reserves the right to accept or decline an order where reasonably necessary.

An order may be declined, cancelled or placed under review in cases involving payment failure, suspected fraud, technical errors, inaccurate information, Product unavailability, legal restrictions or other legitimate business or security concerns.

AKBSTOCK will not arbitrarily reject valid orders.

18.5 Product Pricing

Prices displayed on AKBSTOCK are the prices applicable to the relevant Product, license, subscription or service at the time they are displayed, subject to any applicable taxes, currency conversion or other charges disclosed during checkout.

Different Products, licenses, subscription plans or purchasing options may have different prices.

Customers should review the final amount displayed during checkout before completing payment.

18.6 Pricing Changes

AKBSTOCK may change Product prices, subscription prices, licensing prices, promotional prices or other charges from time to time.

Unless otherwise stated, a pricing change will apply prospectively and will not alter a completed one-time purchase.

Any pricing changes affecting subscriptions shall also remain subject to the applicable Subscription Agreement and applicable law.

18.7 Pricing Errors

AKBSTOCK makes reasonable efforts to display accurate pricing.

However, typographical, technical, system or administrative errors may occasionally result in an incorrect price being displayed.

Where a material pricing error is identified before completion of a transaction, AKBSTOCK may correct the price before accepting the order.

Where an error affects an already submitted transaction, AKBSTOCK will handle the matter reasonably and in accordance with applicable law.

18.8 Promotions and Discounts

AKBSTOCK may offer promotional pricing, discounts, coupons, introductory offers or other incentives from time to time.

Such offers may be subject to specific eligibility requirements, validity periods, usage limits or other conditions.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, promotional offers cannot be combined, transferred or exchanged for cash.

AKBSTOCK may modify or discontinue a promotion prospectively where reasonably necessary.

18.9 Taxes

Prices and transactions may be subject to taxes, duties, levies or similar governmental charges where required by applicable law.

Where AKBSTOCK is legally required to collect such amounts, they may be added to the Customer’s transaction as applicable.

Customers remain responsible for any taxes or obligations that are legally payable by them and are not collected directly by AKBSTOCK.

18.10 Currency

Product prices may be displayed or processed in currencies supported by AKBSTOCK and its payment service providers.

Where currency conversion is involved, the final amount charged may be affected by exchange rates, bank conversion rates or charges imposed by the Customer’s bank, card issuer or payment provider.

AKBSTOCK does not control independent currency conversion charges imposed by third parties.

18.11 Payment Methods

AKBSTOCK may support one or more payment methods through authorized payment service providers.

Available payment methods may vary depending upon the Customer’s location, currency, transaction type, payment provider and other technical or regulatory factors.

The availability of a particular payment method at one time does not guarantee its permanent availability.

18.12 Third-Party Payment Processing

Payments may be processed through independent third-party payment gateways, banks, card networks or other payment service providers.

Such providers may process payment information according to their own terms, privacy policies and security procedures.

AKBSTOCK does not control the independent systems, approval decisions or internal processing procedures of third-party payment providers.

18.13 Payment Authorization

By submitting payment information, the Customer represents that they are authorized to use the selected payment method.

The Customer authorizes the applicable payment provider to process the amount associated with the transaction.

Unauthorized or fraudulent use of payment methods is prohibited.

18.14 Successful Payment

A payment is considered successful when the applicable payment system confirms that the transaction has been completed or otherwise approved for processing.

Following successful processing, AKBSTOCK may generate an order confirmation, transaction record or other relevant confirmation.

A payment confirmation does not expand the Customer’s rights beyond those granted under the applicable License Agreement or other legal document.

18.15 Failed or Declined Payments

A payment may fail or be declined for reasons including insufficient funds, incorrect payment information, bank restrictions, payment provider rules, security checks, technical problems or other circumstances outside AKBSTOCK’s reasonable control.

Where a payment fails or is declined, the relevant order may remain incomplete.

Customers may use another available payment method or contact their payment provider where appropriate.

18.16 Pending Payments

Certain transactions may remain pending while a bank, payment gateway or other payment provider completes processing or verification.

During such period, AKBSTOCK may delay final order completion until satisfactory payment confirmation is received.

A pending payment should not be treated as a completed transaction until its status has been confirmed.

18.17 Duplicate Payments

If a Customer reasonably believes that the same transaction has been charged more than once, the Customer should contact AKBSTOCK Support and provide sufficient transaction information for review.

AKBSTOCK will make reasonable efforts to investigate genuine duplicate payment claims.

Any refund or correction arising from a confirmed duplicate payment shall be handled in accordance with the applicable Refund & Cancellation Policy and payment provider procedures.

18.18 Payment Security

AKBSTOCK aims to use reputable payment service providers and reasonable security practices appropriate to online transactions.

Customers are responsible for protecting their account credentials and payment information and should not knowingly provide such information through unauthorized channels.

No online payment system can be guaranteed to be completely free from technical, security or third-party risks.

18.19 Fraud Prevention and Transaction Review

AKBSTOCK may review, delay or restrict a transaction where there are reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, unauthorized payment activity, misuse, security threats or violation of these Terms.

Where reasonably necessary, additional information or verification may be requested before an affected transaction is completed.

Such measures are intended to protect AKBSTOCK, Customers, payment providers and other parties from fraudulent or unauthorized activity.

18.20 Order Confirmation

After successful completion of an eligible order, AKBSTOCK may provide an order confirmation electronically through the Website, Customer Account, email or another appropriate digital method.

Customers should retain relevant order confirmations and transaction records for future reference.

If a Customer does not receive an expected confirmation after a successful payment, they should contact AKBSTOCK Support.

18.21 Transaction Records

AKBSTOCK may maintain reasonable records relating to orders and completed transactions for customer support, accounting, licensing verification, fraud prevention, legal compliance and other legitimate business purposes.

The handling of personal information associated with such records remains subject to the applicable Privacy Policy and data protection requirements.

18.22 Billing Information

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and current billing information where such information is required.

AKBSTOCK may rely upon the information provided by the Customer for transaction processing, billing records and related administrative purposes.

Customers should promptly correct inaccurate information through available account or support channels where necessary.

18.23 Refunds and Cancellations

Eligibility for refunds, cancellations or transaction reversals is governed by the applicable Refund & Cancellation Policy and any mandatory rights available under applicable law.

Nothing in this section creates an independent right to a refund or cancellation beyond those provisions.

18.24 Customer Support for Payment Issues

Customers experiencing genuine problems relating to payment processing, duplicate charges, order confirmation or other transaction matters should contact AKBSTOCK through its official Support channels.

Customers should provide sufficient order or transaction information to allow the issue to be reviewed efficiently.

AKBSTOCK will make reasonable efforts to investigate and assist with legitimate transaction-related concerns.

18.25 Relationship With Other Legal Documents

This section shall be read together with the Refund & Cancellation Policy, Privacy Policy, applicable License Agreements, Subscription Agreement and other relevant AKBSTOCK legal documents.

Where a transaction is subject to additional Product-specific, subscription-specific or license-specific conditions, those conditions shall apply together with these Terms.

Nothing in this section limits any mandatory rights or obligations arising under applicable law.

19. Licenses & Usage Rights

19.1 Purpose

This section establishes the general framework governing licenses and usage rights associated with Products obtained through AKBSTOCK.

The specific rights granted to a Customer depend upon the Product, purchase method and applicable License Agreement.

Purchasing or downloading a Product does not transfer ownership of the underlying intellectual property unless expressly stated in writing by AKBSTOCK.

19.2 License Required for Use

Products obtained through AKBSTOCK may be used only in accordance with the license applicable to the relevant transaction.

The Customer must review and comply with the applicable License Agreement before using a Product for commercial, manufacturing, distribution or other permitted purposes.

No rights are granted except those expressly provided under the applicable license.

19.3 Types of Licenses

AKBSTOCK may make Products available under different licensing models, including:

• Commercial License
• Subscription License
• Exclusive License
• Any other license or usage arrangement expressly introduced by AKBSTOCK

Each licensing model may provide different rights, limitations, conditions and commercial permissions.

The license applicable to a Product or transaction shall be determined by the purchasing or access option selected by the Customer.

19.4 Commercial License

Where a Product is purchased under a Commercial License, the Customer receives the usage rights expressly granted under the applicable Commercial License Agreement.

Such rights may permit commercial use of the Product subject to the conditions, limitations and restrictions contained in that Agreement.

A Commercial License does not constitute a transfer of copyright or ownership of the original artwork.

19.5 Subscription License

Products obtained through an eligible AKBSTOCK subscription are governed by the applicable Subscription Agreement and Subscription License terms.

Subscription access, download entitlements, usage rights and other conditions may depend upon the subscription plan applicable at the time the Product is obtained.

A subscription does not automatically grant ownership or exclusive rights in any Product.

19.6 Exclusive License

Where AKBSTOCK expressly offers and completes an Exclusive License transaction, the Customer receives the exclusive rights specifically described in the applicable Exclusive License Agreement.

The scope, effective date, permitted uses and limitations of exclusivity shall be determined by that Agreement.

No Product shall be considered exclusively licensed merely because it has been purchased, downloaded or used by a Customer.

19.7 License Scope

The scope of every license is limited to the rights expressly granted by the applicable License Agreement.

A Customer must not assume that a license permits any use that is not expressly authorized.

Where uncertainty exists regarding the permitted use of a Product, the Customer should review the applicable License Agreement or contact AKBSTOCK before proceeding with such use.

19.8 License Begins Upon Valid Acquisition

Usage rights arise only when a Product has been lawfully obtained through AKBSTOCK under a valid purchase, subscription, free access arrangement or other authorized method.

Possession of a Product file obtained through an unauthorized source does not create any license or usage rights.

AKBSTOCK may require reasonable transaction or account information where verification of a license is necessary.

19.9 License Belongs to the Authorized Customer

Unless expressly permitted under the applicable License Agreement, a license is granted only to the Customer, business or legal entity identified in connection with the authorized transaction.

The Customer may not sell, transfer, sublicense or assign the license to another person or entity except where expressly permitted by AKBSTOCK or the applicable License Agreement.

19.10 Permitted Commercial Use

Where commercial use is permitted by the applicable license, the Customer may use the Product within the scope expressly authorized by that license.

Permitted commercial activities may vary depending upon the Product category and licensing model.

The Customer remains responsible for ensuring that the intended use falls within the rights granted under the applicable License Agreement.

19.11 Modification and Adaptation

Where permitted by the applicable License Agreement, Customers may modify, recolor, resize, arrange, adapt or otherwise prepare a Product for an authorized production or commercial purpose.

Modification of a Product does not transfer ownership of the underlying original artwork or create rights beyond those granted under the applicable license.

Any modified or derivative use remains subject to the applicable License Agreement.

19.12 Manufacturing and Production Use

Where permitted under the applicable license, Products may be used in authorized textile, apparel, fashion, home décor or related manufacturing and production activities.

The Customer is responsible for determining production suitability, including appropriate sampling, color management, fabric compatibility, printing methods and manufacturing requirements.

Production use must remain within the scope of the applicable License Agreement.

19.13 No Ownership Transfer

Except where AKBSTOCK expressly agrees otherwise in writing, all transactions involving Products constitute grants of usage rights rather than transfers of intellectual property ownership.

Payment for a Product or license does not by itself transfer copyright, authorship or ownership of the underlying artwork.

Rights not expressly granted to the Customer remain reserved.

19.14 No Implied Rights

No license, permission or right shall arise by implication, assumption, custom or prior use.

Only rights expressly granted under the applicable AKBSTOCK legal documents are authorized.

The absence of an express restriction shall not automatically be interpreted as permission for a particular use.

19.15 Compliance With License Conditions

Customers are responsible for complying with all conditions applicable to their license.

Use of a Product outside the permitted license scope may constitute unauthorized use and may result in action under these Terms, the applicable License Agreement or applicable law.

Customers should retain relevant purchase and license records where reasonably necessary to demonstrate authorized use.

19.16 License Verification

AKBSTOCK may maintain reasonable records of purchases, subscriptions, downloads and licensing transactions for the purpose of verifying authorized use.

Where a legitimate licensing question arises, AKBSTOCK may request reasonable information necessary to identify the relevant transaction or license.

License verification shall be conducted reasonably and in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.

19.17 Rights Reserved by AKBSTOCK

All rights not expressly granted under an applicable License Agreement remain reserved by AKBSTOCK or the applicable rights holder.

Nothing in these Terms should be interpreted as granting broader rights than those specifically provided through the relevant license.

19.18 Unauthorized Use

Use of a Product outside the scope of the applicable license is unauthorized.

Unauthorized use may include reproduction, redistribution, resale, sublicensing, sharing or other exploitation that is not permitted by the applicable License Agreement.

AKBSTOCK reserves the right to take reasonable action in response to unauthorized use, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

19.19 Relationship With Intellectual Property Rights

Licensing determines how a Customer may use a Product but does not, unless expressly stated otherwise, transfer ownership of the intellectual property contained in that Product.

Copyright, ownership, infringement and other intellectual property matters are further addressed in Section 20 — Intellectual Property Rights and the applicable AKBSTOCK legal documents.

19.20 Relationship With License Agreements

This section establishes the general licensing framework applicable to AKBSTOCK Products.

Detailed rights, restrictions, limitations and conditions are governed by the License Agreement applicable to the relevant transaction.

Where a specific License Agreement contains provisions applicable to a particular license or transaction, those specific provisions shall apply together with these Terms, subject to applicable law.

20. Intellectual Property Rights

20.1 Purpose

This section establishes the general principles governing intellectual property rights associated with AKBSTOCK, its Website, Products, branding and related content.

AKBSTOCK respects intellectual property rights and expects Customers and other users of the Website to do the same.

Nothing in these Terms transfers intellectual property rights except where such transfer is expressly confirmed in writing.

20.2 Ownership of AKBSTOCK Content

Unless otherwise expressly stated, the content created, owned or lawfully controlled by AKBSTOCK remains the intellectual property of AKBSTOCK or the applicable rights holder.

Such content may include textile artwork, design files, graphics, visual materials, written content, website elements, branding materials and other original creative works.

Access to such content does not by itself grant ownership rights.

20.3 Copyright Protection

Original content and creative works published through AKBSTOCK may be protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

Copyright protection may apply to Products, artwork, graphics, written materials, website content and other eligible creative works.

Customers may use copyrighted Products only within the scope of the applicable License Agreement.

20.4 Ownership of Products

Unless expressly stated otherwise, purchasing, downloading or otherwise obtaining a Product grants only the applicable usage rights and does not transfer ownership of the underlying intellectual property.

The original artwork and associated intellectual property rights remain with AKBSTOCK or the applicable rights holder, subject to any rights expressly granted under the relevant License Agreement.

Payment for a Product should not be interpreted as a sale or assignment of copyright.

20.5 Licensed Use Is Not Ownership

A license permits authorized use of a Product within a defined scope.

It does not make the Customer the author, copyright owner or intellectual property owner of the original Product unless an express written transfer provides otherwise.

Modification, adaptation, recoloring or incorporation of a Product into another work does not by itself transfer ownership of the underlying original artwork.

20.6 AKBSTOCK Name and Branding

The AKBSTOCK name, branding, logos, visual identity and associated brand elements are proprietary assets of AKBSTOCK to the extent protected under applicable law.

No Customer or third party may use AKBSTOCK branding in a manner that falsely suggests ownership, authorization, partnership, sponsorship or endorsement.

Permitted references to AKBSTOCK must not be misleading or damaging to the identity of the brand.

20.7 Trademarks

Names, logos, marks, symbols and other brand identifiers displayed by AKBSTOCK may constitute trademarks, service marks or other protected identifiers under applicable law.

Nothing on the Website grants any right to reproduce, register, imitate or commercially exploit such marks except with appropriate authorization.

Customers must not attempt to register any mark, business name, domain name, social media identifier or other designation that unlawfully infringes or misappropriates AKBSTOCK’s protected brand rights.

20.8 Website Content

The Website may contain text, graphics, layouts, visual elements, product presentations, documentation and other materials owned, licensed or lawfully used by AKBSTOCK.

Website content may not be systematically copied, reproduced, republished, distributed or commercially exploited except where expressly permitted.

Normal browsing, lawful sharing of Website links and other uses permitted by these Terms remain allowed.

20.9 Product Previews and Watermarks

AKBSTOCK may display previews, thumbnails, watermarked images or other representations of Products for identification, evaluation, marketing and purchasing purposes.

The availability of a preview does not grant permission to reproduce, extract, remove watermarks from, commercially use or otherwise exploit the underlying Product.

Usage rights arise only through an authorized method provided by AKBSTOCK and remain subject to the applicable license.

20.10 Copyright Notices and Rights Information

Customers must not knowingly remove, conceal, falsify or materially alter copyright notices, ownership information, rights-management information or other intellectual property notices where doing so would violate applicable law or the applicable License Agreement.

The presence or absence of a copyright notice does not by itself determine whether a work is legally protected.

20.11 Unauthorized Copying and Distribution

Customers must not copy, distribute, upload, share, resell, sublicense or otherwise make Products available to third parties except where expressly permitted by the applicable License Agreement.

Unauthorized distribution includes making Product files available through websites, marketplaces, cloud-sharing services, social platforms, file-sharing networks or other distribution channels without appropriate authorization.

Lawful production use permitted under an applicable license is not prohibited by this provision.

20.12 No Claim of Original Authorship

A Customer must not falsely represent themselves as the original creator or copyright owner of an AKBSTOCK Product where they do not legally hold such status.

Permitted modification or commercial use of a Product does not by itself create a right to claim authorship of the underlying original artwork.

Nothing in this provision prevents a Customer from claiming rights in their own independently created material where legally appropriate.

20.13 No Unauthorized Registration

Customers must not knowingly register or attempt to register copyright, trademark, design rights or other intellectual property rights in an AKBSTOCK Product or underlying artwork as though such rights belonged to them, except where an applicable written agreement expressly authorizes such registration.

Customers remain free to protect intellectual property that they independently own.

20.14 Derivative and Modified Uses

Where modification or adaptation is permitted under the applicable License Agreement, a Customer may create authorized modified uses of a Product.

Such modification does not extinguish or transfer the intellectual property rights existing in the underlying original Product.

Any rights arising in independently created additions or other protectable material shall remain subject to applicable law and shall not expand the Customer’s rights in the original Product.

20.15 Third-Party Intellectual Property

AKBSTOCK respects the intellectual property rights of third parties.

Where third-party materials are lawfully incorporated into or referenced through the Website, such materials remain subject to the rights of their respective owners and any applicable permissions or licenses.

Nothing in these Terms grants Customers rights in third-party intellectual property beyond those lawfully available.

20.16 Intellectual Property Complaints

A person who reasonably believes that content available through AKBSTOCK infringes their intellectual property rights may submit a complaint through the official copyright or intellectual property reporting channel provided by AKBSTOCK.

The complaint should contain sufficient information to identify the disputed material, the rights claimed and the basis of the complaint.

AKBSTOCK may request additional information where reasonably necessary to evaluate a complaint.

20.17 Review of Infringement Claims

AKBSTOCK will make reasonable efforts to review genuine intellectual property complaints submitted through its official channels.

Where appropriate, AKBSTOCK may investigate, temporarily restrict access to disputed content, request additional information or take other reasonable measures while a matter is reviewed.

The submission of a complaint does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred.

20.18 False or Misleading Claims

Users must not knowingly submit false, fraudulent or materially misleading intellectual property complaints.

A person submitting a complaint is responsible for ensuring that the information provided is accurate to the best of their knowledge.

AKBSTOCK may take reasonable action where its complaint procedures are deliberately abused.

20.19 Removal or Restriction of Content

AKBSTOCK may remove, disable, restrict or review content where there are reasonable grounds to believe that intellectual property rights may have been violated or where such action is otherwise required by law.

Where appropriate, AKBSTOCK may restore or reconsider affected content if sufficient information establishes that restriction is no longer necessary.

Such decisions will be made reasonably based upon the information available to AKBSTOCK.

20.20 Protection of AKBSTOCK Intellectual Property

AKBSTOCK reserves the right to take reasonable measures to protect its intellectual property and the intellectual property lawfully entrusted to or distributed through the platform.

Such measures may include investigation, communication with relevant parties, content restriction, account action, preservation of relevant records or pursuit of remedies available under applicable law.

Nothing in this section requires AKBSTOCK to pursue every suspected infringement.

20.21 Customer Responsibility

Customers are responsible for ensuring that their use of Products complies with the applicable License Agreement, these Terms and applicable intellectual property laws.

Customers should not use Products in a manner that knowingly infringes the rights of AKBSTOCK or third parties.

Where uncertainty exists regarding a proposed use, Customers should review the applicable legal documents before proceeding.

20.22 Survival of Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property ownership and other provisions that by their nature are intended to continue shall remain effective after completion of a transaction, closure of an Account or termination of access to the Website.

Termination of access does not transfer, extinguish or otherwise alter intellectual property ownership except where required by applicable law or expressly provided in a written agreement.

20.23 Relationship With Licenses & Usage Rights

This section addresses ownership, copyright, trademarks and the protection of intellectual property.

The scope of a Customer’s permitted use of a Product is governed principally by Section 19 — Licenses & Usage Rights and the applicable License Agreement.

These provisions shall be interpreted together so that licensed usage rights do not imply a transfer of ownership unless expressly stated.

20.24 Relationship With Copyright Policies

Additional procedures relating to copyright protection, infringement complaints, notices and related matters may be established in AKBSTOCK’s Copyright Policy, Copyright Complaint procedures and other applicable legal documents.

Those documents shall operate together with these Terms and applicable law.

21. Prohibited Uses

21.1 Purpose

This section identifies activities and uses that are prohibited when accessing or using AKBSTOCK, its Website, Products, services and related features.

These restrictions are intended to protect AKBSTOCK, its Customers, intellectual property, digital infrastructure and the lawful operation of the platform.

Customers and other users must use AKBSTOCK only for lawful and authorized purposes.

21.2 Unlawful Use

Users must not use AKBSTOCK, its Products or services for any purpose that violates applicable law.

This includes using the Website or Products to facilitate, promote or participate in unlawful activity.

Users remain responsible for ensuring that their activities comply with the laws applicable to them and their intended use.

21.3 Violation of License Terms

Users must not use any Product beyond the rights granted under the applicable License Agreement.

Any use, reproduction, distribution, modification, manufacturing activity or commercial exploitation must remain within the permitted license scope.

A Product obtained lawfully may still be used unlawfully if the applicable license conditions are violated.

21.4 Unauthorized Sharing or Distribution

Users must not share, distribute, upload, publish, transfer or otherwise make Product files available to unauthorized persons or entities.

This includes unauthorized distribution through websites, marketplaces, cloud storage links, social media, messaging platforms, file-sharing networks or other digital or physical channels.

Sharing permitted expressly under an applicable License Agreement is not prohibited by this provision.

21.5 Unauthorized Resale

Users must not resell, redistribute or commercially offer AKBSTOCK Product files as standalone digital design assets unless expressly authorized.

A Customer may not purchase or download a Product merely for the purpose of reselling or redistributing the original or substantially equivalent digital file.

Permitted use of a Product in manufactured or finished products remains governed by the applicable License Agreement.

21.6 Unauthorized Sublicensing or Transfer

Users must not sublicense, assign, transfer or otherwise grant their Product usage rights to another person or entity except where expressly permitted by the applicable License Agreement.

Access to a Product file does not create a right to grant licenses in that Product to third parties.

21.7 Intellectual Property Infringement

Users must not use AKBSTOCK to infringe, misappropriate or unlawfully exploit copyright, trademark, design rights or other intellectual property rights belonging to AKBSTOCK or any third party.

Users must also not falsely claim ownership or authorship of intellectual property that they do not legally own.

Intellectual property matters are further governed by Section 20 — Intellectual Property Rights and the applicable AKBSTOCK legal documents.

21.8 Unauthorized Removal of Protection Measures

Users must not unlawfully remove, bypass, disable or interfere with watermarks, access controls, security mechanisms, download restrictions or other technical measures used to protect AKBSTOCK content or systems.

Nothing in this provision prohibits actions expressly authorized by AKBSTOCK or permitted under applicable law.

21.9 Unauthorized Access

Users must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any Account, server, database, administrative area, restricted content, system or network associated with AKBSTOCK.

Users must not access information or functionality that they are not authorized to access.

Use of another person’s Account without appropriate authorization is prohibited.

21.10 Security Interference

Users must not interfere with, disrupt or attempt to compromise the security, integrity, availability or normal operation of the Website or its supporting infrastructure.

Prohibited conduct includes knowingly introducing malicious code, malware, viruses or other harmful technologies.

Users must not intentionally exploit security vulnerabilities or technical weaknesses for unauthorized purposes.

21.11 Automated Abuse

Users must not use bots, scripts, crawlers, scraping tools, automated download systems or similar technologies to access, copy, collect or download AKBSTOCK content in an unauthorized or excessive manner.

Automated activity expressly authorized by AKBSTOCK or reasonably necessary for legitimate public search-engine indexing is not prohibited by this provision.

AKBSTOCK may implement reasonable technical measures to prevent abusive automated activity.

21.12 Circumvention of Download or Usage Limits

Users must not circumvent or attempt to circumvent download limits, subscription limits, access restrictions, account limitations or other usage controls implemented by AKBSTOCK.

Creating or controlling multiple Accounts for the primary purpose of avoiding such restrictions is prohibited.

Applicable limits may also be governed by specific subscription, free-download or licensing terms.

21.13 Fraudulent Transactions

Users must not engage in fraudulent, deceptive or unauthorized payment activity through AKBSTOCK.

This includes knowingly using stolen or unauthorized payment methods, submitting materially false transaction information or attempting to manipulate payment systems.

AKBSTOCK may review or restrict suspicious transactions in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.

21.14 False Information and Impersonation

Users must not knowingly provide materially false information where accurate information is reasonably required for an Account, transaction, licensing matter or support request.

Users must not impersonate another person, business, organization or representative in a manner intended to deceive AKBSTOCK or other parties.

Use of legitimate business representatives or authorized agents is not prohibited.

21.15 Abuse of Accounts

Users must not create, operate, share or use Accounts for fraudulent, deceptive, abusive or unauthorized purposes.

Accounts must not be used to evade restrictions, conceal prohibited activity or interfere with the rights of other Customers.

Account security and eligibility requirements remain subject to Section 16 — User Accounts & Account Security.

21.16 Misuse of Free Products or Promotions

Free Products, promotional offers, discounts and similar benefits must be used in accordance with their applicable conditions.

Users must not manipulate Accounts, transactions, technical systems or eligibility information for the purpose of obtaining benefits to which they are not entitled.

AKBSTOCK may reasonably restrict access where promotional or free-access systems are being abused.

21.17 Misuse of Support or Complaint Systems

Users must not knowingly misuse AKBSTOCK support, reporting or complaint systems.

This includes submitting fraudulent complaints, intentionally misleading reports, repeated abusive communications or information known to be materially false.

Legitimate complaints, disputes, copyright reports and support requests made in good faith are not prohibited.

21.18 Harmful or Abusive Conduct

Users must not use AKBSTOCK communication or support channels to threaten, harass, intimidate or deliberately abuse Customers, representatives, employees, contractors or other persons.

Reasonable criticism, complaints, disputes and good-faith disagreements do not constitute prohibited conduct merely because they are unfavorable to AKBSTOCK.

21.19 Misrepresentation of Relationship With AKBSTOCK

Users must not falsely represent that they are employees, agents, official representatives, partners or authorized distributors of AKBSTOCK.

Users must not falsely suggest that AKBSTOCK sponsors, endorses or approves a person, business, Product or service where no such relationship exists.

Authorized relationships may be represented only within the scope of the applicable authorization.

21.20 Interference With Other Users

Users must not intentionally interfere with another Customer’s lawful access to or use of AKBSTOCK.

Users must not attempt to obtain another Customer’s confidential Account information, transaction information or downloaded Product files without authorization.

21.21 Data Collection and Privacy Abuse

Users must not unlawfully collect, extract, harvest, disclose or misuse personal information relating to other Customers or users of AKBSTOCK.

Any collection or processing of personal information must comply with applicable law and any authorization legitimately provided.

Privacy and data protection matters are further addressed in Section 24 — Privacy & Data Protection and the applicable Privacy Policy.

21.22 Commercial Exploitation of the Platform

Users must not commercially exploit the Website, its databases, Product catalogue, previews, metadata or platform infrastructure in a manner not authorized by AKBSTOCK.

This restriction does not prevent Customers from commercially using properly licensed Products within the scope of their applicable License Agreements.

21.23 Attempts to Facilitate Prohibited Conduct

Users must not knowingly assist, encourage or facilitate another person in carrying out conduct prohibited by these Terms.

An unsuccessful attempt to engage in prohibited conduct may still constitute a violation where the circumstances reasonably demonstrate an intentional effort to violate these Terms.

21.24 Response to Prohibited Use

Where AKBSTOCK reasonably believes that prohibited activity has occurred, it may take proportionate measures to protect the platform, Customers, intellectual property and other affected parties.

Depending upon the circumstances, such measures may include investigation, warnings, access restrictions, preservation of relevant records or other reasonable protective action.

Detailed rules concerning Account termination and suspension are addressed separately in Section 28 — Termination & Suspension.

21.25 Relationship With Other Legal Documents

This section shall be read together with the applicable License Agreements, Acceptable Use Policy, Copyright Policy, Privacy Policy and other relevant AKBSTOCK legal documents.

Where a specific legal document establishes additional restrictions applicable to a particular Product, service, Account or transaction, those restrictions shall apply together with these Terms.

Nothing in this section authorizes conduct prohibited by applicable law.

22. Refunds & Cancellations

22.1 Purpose

This section establishes the general terms applicable to refunds, cancellations and related payment adjustments for Products and services offered through AKBSTOCK.

Detailed eligibility requirements, procedures and applicable conditions are governed by the Refund & Cancellation Policy published on the Website.

22.2 Nature of Digital Products

AKBSTOCK primarily provides digital Products that may become available for download or access following successful purchase or authorization.

Because digital Products can be accessed, downloaded, copied or used after delivery, refund and cancellation considerations may differ from those applicable to physical goods.

Any applicable refund or cancellation shall therefore be determined in accordance with these Terms, the Refund & Cancellation Policy and applicable law.

22.3 Cancellation Before Digital Delivery

Where a transaction has not yet resulted in digital delivery, download access or other substantial performance by AKBSTOCK, a cancellation request may be considered where reasonably possible.

The availability of cancellation may depend upon the status of the transaction, payment processing and the nature of the Product or service purchased.

22.4 Cancellation After Digital Delivery

Once a digital Product has been delivered, made available for download or accessed by the Customer, cancellation may be restricted due to the nature of digital content.

Any exception shall be determined under the applicable Refund & Cancellation Policy and mandatory rights provided by applicable law.

22.5 Refund Eligibility

A Customer may be eligible for a refund where the circumstances satisfy the requirements stated in the Refund & Cancellation Policy or where a refund is required under applicable law.

Refund eligibility may depend upon the nature of the issue, transaction status, Product delivery status and other relevant circumstances.

Submitting a refund request does not automatically establish eligibility for a refund.

22.6 Product or Delivery Issues

Where a Customer experiences a genuine issue relating to a purchased Product or its delivery, the Customer should contact AKBSTOCK through the official support channels.

AKBSTOCK may reasonably investigate the issue and, where appropriate, attempt to provide access, replacement, correction or another suitable resolution before determining whether a refund is appropriate.

Nothing in this provision limits any mandatory remedy available under applicable law.

22.7 Duplicate or Incorrect Transactions

Where a Customer reasonably believes that a duplicate charge, incorrect charge or other transaction error has occurred, the Customer should contact AKBSTOCK with sufficient transaction information to allow the matter to be reviewed.

Where an error attributable to AKBSTOCK or its payment process is verified, reasonable corrective action shall be taken in accordance with the applicable policies and law.

22.8 Payment Gateway and Processing Matters

Payments and refunds may be processed through independent payment gateways, banks or other payment service providers.

Processing times may therefore depend partly upon those third-party providers and the Customer’s financial institution.

AKBSTOCK cannot guarantee processing times controlled exclusively by independent payment providers.

22.9 Refund Method

Where a refund is approved, AKBSTOCK will generally attempt to return the applicable amount through the original payment method or another lawful and reasonably appropriate method where necessary.

The method of refund may depend upon the original transaction, payment provider capabilities and applicable legal or operational requirements.

22.10 Refund Amount

Any approved refund shall be calculated according to the circumstances of the transaction, the applicable Refund & Cancellation Policy and applicable law.

Where only part of a transaction qualifies for a refund, AKBSTOCK may issue an appropriate partial refund where legally and technically permissible.

22.11 Subscription Purchases

Refunds, cancellations, renewals and billing matters relating specifically to Subscription Plans may be subject to additional terms contained in the applicable Subscription Agreement and related subscription policies.

Where subscription-specific terms apply, they shall be read together with these Terms.

22.12 Promotional and Discounted Purchases

Products purchased through discounts, promotional offers, credits or other special pricing arrangements remain subject to the applicable refund and cancellation conditions.

The existence of a promotion or discount does not by itself create or remove a right to a refund.

Any mandatory rights available under applicable law remain unaffected.

22.13 Abuse of Refund or Cancellation Systems

Customers must not knowingly misuse refund, cancellation, payment dispute or chargeback procedures.

Fraudulent refund claims, materially false representations or repeated attempts to obtain refunds for Products properly delivered and used may constitute a violation of these Terms.

Nothing in this provision prevents a Customer from making a legitimate refund request, payment dispute or exercising rights available under applicable law.

22.14 Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Customers are encouraged to contact AKBSTOCK through the official support channels regarding genuine transaction or delivery issues before initiating a payment dispute, where reasonably practicable.

AKBSTOCK may provide relevant transaction, delivery and Account records to payment providers or financial institutions when responding to a legitimate payment dispute.

Nothing in this section restricts any right a Customer may have to raise a lawful payment dispute.

22.15 Statutory Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms or the Refund & Cancellation Policy is intended to exclude, restrict or waive any consumer right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or waived.

Where applicable law requires a refund, cancellation, replacement, correction or other remedy, the applicable legal requirement shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

22.16 Relationship With Refund & Cancellation Policy

This section provides the general contractual framework for refunds and cancellations.

Detailed procedures, eligibility requirements, request methods, review processes and other operational conditions are set out in the AKBSTOCK Refund & Cancellation Policy.

These Terms and the Refund & Cancellation Policy shall be read together.

22.17 Changes to Refund Procedures

AKBSTOCK may update its refund and cancellation procedures from time to time where reasonably necessary for legal, operational, payment-processing or platform requirements.

Any updated procedures shall apply in accordance with the published legal documents and applicable law.

Changes shall not remove rights that have already arisen where such rights cannot lawfully be removed.

22.18 Customer Responsibility

Customers are responsible for reviewing relevant Product information, pricing, licensing conditions and applicable refund terms before completing a purchase.

Customers should provide accurate transaction information when requesting assistance regarding a refund or cancellation.

Customers should also retain relevant order confirmations and payment records where reasonably necessary to support a request.

22.19 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK intends to administer refund and cancellation matters fairly, consistently and in accordance with its published policies and applicable law.

Each request may be evaluated according to the circumstances of the transaction and the rights and obligations applicable to the Customer and AKBSTOCK.

23. Product Delivery & Download Access

23.1 Purpose

This section establishes the general terms governing the digital delivery, download access and availability of Products purchased or otherwise lawfully obtained through AKBSTOCK.

AKBSTOCK provides digital Products electronically and does not ordinarily provide physical delivery unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular Product or service.

23.2 Digital Delivery

Products purchased through AKBSTOCK are generally delivered electronically through the Website, Customer Account, download system or another officially designated digital delivery method.

Digital delivery shall be considered initiated when AKBSTOCK makes the applicable Product or authorized download access available to the Customer.

23.3 Delivery Following Successful Payment

Where payment is required, Product delivery or download access will generally become available after successful payment authorization and completion of the applicable order process.

Delivery may be delayed where a transaction remains pending, requires verification, is declined or is otherwise not successfully completed.

23.4 Download Access

Customers may access purchased Products through the download method made available by AKBSTOCK for the applicable transaction.

Download availability may depend upon the Customer’s Account status, order status, Product status, technical availability and any applicable purchasing or subscription conditions.

Access to a download does not grant rights beyond those provided under the applicable License Agreement.

23.5 Account-Based Access

Where download access is provided through a Customer Account, the Customer is responsible for accessing the correct Account associated with the relevant purchase or entitlement.

AKBSTOCK may use Account and transaction information to verify whether a Customer is authorized to access a particular Product.

Account access remains subject to the account and security provisions contained in these Terms.

23.6 Delivery Information

Customers are responsible for providing accurate information necessary for the processing and delivery of their orders.

Where delivery information, Account information or other required details are incorrect or incomplete, Product access may be delayed until the relevant issue is reasonably resolved.

23.7 Download Availability

AKBSTOCK will make reasonable efforts to maintain reliable access to Products made available through its digital delivery systems.

However, uninterrupted or permanent availability of every download link, Account feature or delivery system cannot be guaranteed.

Customers are therefore encouraged to download and securely store purchased files within a reasonable period after access becomes available.

23.8 Re-Download Access

Where supported by the Website or applicable purchasing arrangement, AKBSTOCK may permit Customers to re-download previously purchased Products through their Account or another authorized method.

The availability of re-download access may depend upon technical, security, legal, licensing or operational considerations.

Customers should not rely upon AKBSTOCK as their sole long-term storage location for downloaded Products.

23.9 Customer File Storage

After successfully downloading a Product, Customers are responsible for maintaining appropriate copies and backups of their files.

Customers should use reasonable storage and backup practices to protect downloaded Products against accidental deletion, device failure, corruption or other data loss.

AKBSTOCK is not intended to operate as a permanent personal file-storage or backup service.

23.10 Technical Requirements

Customers are responsible for maintaining suitable devices, software, internet connectivity and other technical resources reasonably necessary to access, download, open and use purchased Products.

Product information may identify relevant file formats, dimensions or other technical characteristics where applicable.

Customers should review such information before completing a purchase.

23.11 Download or Access Problems

If a Customer experiences a genuine problem accessing or downloading a Product, the Customer should contact AKBSTOCK through the official support channels.

The Customer should provide sufficient order, Account and technical information to allow AKBSTOCK to reasonably investigate the issue.

AKBSTOCK will make reasonable efforts to restore legitimate access or provide an appropriate technical resolution where possible.

23.12 Corrupted or Incomplete Files

Where a downloaded Product is reasonably determined to be corrupted, incomplete or technically defective as delivered by AKBSTOCK, the Customer should report the issue through the official support channels.

AKBSTOCK may verify the issue and, where appropriate, provide a corrected file, replacement download or another suitable remedy.

Any refund-related remedy remains subject to Section 22 and the applicable Refund & Cancellation Policy.

23.13 Product Updates and Corrections

AKBSTOCK may correct, replace or update a Product where necessary to address technical errors, file issues or other legitimate concerns.

Where reasonably practicable, Customers who previously obtained the affected Product may be provided access to the corrected or updated version.

Such correction or replacement does not automatically create additional licensing rights beyond those originally granted.

23.14 Temporary Delivery Interruptions

Digital delivery or download access may occasionally be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, security measures, software updates, hosting issues, internet failures, payment-provider interruptions or other technical circumstances.

AKBSTOCK will make reasonable efforts to restore affected services where the matter is within its reasonable control.

Temporary technical interruption does not by itself terminate an otherwise valid purchase or license.

23.15 Security and Download Protection

AKBSTOCK may use reasonable technical measures to protect digital delivery systems, Products and download access against unauthorized access, misuse, automated extraction or other prohibited activity.

Customers must not bypass, interfere with or attempt to defeat security controls associated with Product delivery or download access.

Suspected misuse may be addressed in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.

23.16 Unauthorized Sharing of Download Access

Download links, Account credentials and other access mechanisms provided to a Customer are intended for the authorized Customer and must not be unlawfully shared, transferred, published or made available to unauthorized persons.

Sharing access does not transfer ownership or licensing rights in the underlying Product.

Unauthorized distribution or use remains subject to the applicable License Agreements, these Terms and applicable law.

23.17 Removal or Unavailability of Products

AKBSTOCK may remove, disable or restrict future availability of a Product where reasonably necessary for legal, intellectual property, security, technical or operational reasons.

Removal of a Product from future sale does not by itself invalidate rights lawfully granted under an existing completed transaction, subject to the applicable License Agreement and law.

Where continued download access cannot reasonably be maintained, AKBSTOCK may take such corrective measures as are appropriate in the circumstances.

23.18 No Transfer Through Delivery

Digital delivery of a Product does not transfer copyright, ownership or other intellectual property rights to the Customer except to the extent expressly stated in an applicable agreement.

Delivery provides access to the Product subject to the license and usage rights applicable to the relevant transaction.

23.19 Customer Responsibility After Delivery

After successful delivery, Customers are responsible for securely storing downloaded Products, maintaining appropriate backups and using the Products in accordance with the applicable License Agreement and these Terms.

Customers are also responsible for protecting downloaded files and Account access against unauthorized use or distribution.

23.20 Relationship With Other Legal Documents

Product delivery and download access shall be interpreted together with the applicable License Agreement, Refund & Cancellation Policy, Subscription Agreement where applicable, and other relevant AKBSTOCK legal documents.

Where a specific legal document contains additional terms applicable to a particular Product, license, subscription or transaction, those provisions shall apply together with this section.

23.21 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK aims to provide reliable, secure and reasonably accessible digital delivery of Products to authorized Customers.

Customers and AKBSTOCK share responsibility for maintaining an effective delivery process through accurate transaction information, appropriate Account security, reasonable technical practices and timely communication when genuine delivery issues arise.

The Privacy Policy shall be read together with these Terms where relevant.

24.3 Information Necessary to Operate AKBSTOCK

AKBSTOCK may process information reasonably necessary to operate the Website, maintain Customer Accounts, process transactions, provide Products and services, communicate with Customers, maintain security and comply with legal obligations.

AKBSTOCK may maintain information relating to Customer Accounts, orders, purchases, licenses, subscriptions, downloads, support interactions and other transactions where reasonably necessary for the operation of the platform.

Such information may also be used for legitimate administrative, security, accounting, licensing, compliance and dispute-resolution purposes, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

24.6 Payment Information

Payments may be processed through independent payment service providers.

AKBSTOCK may receive or maintain transaction-related information necessary to confirm payments, maintain order records, provide support and administer purchases.

The handling of payment information by independent payment providers may also be governed by their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

24.7 Communications

AKBSTOCK may use Customer contact information to provide transactional, administrative, security, support or other service-related communications.

Where marketing or promotional communications are provided, they shall be managed in accordance with applicable law and the choices made available to Customers.

Additional information regarding communications is provided in the Privacy Policy.

24.8 Cookies and Similar Technologies

AKBSTOCK may use cookies and similar technologies for Website functionality, security, preferences, analytics and other legitimate platform purposes.

The specific technologies used, their purposes and any available Customer choices shall be described through the applicable Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy or Website consent mechanisms where required.

24.9 Third-Party Service Providers

AKBSTOCK may use third-party service providers to support functions such as hosting, payments, analytics, communications, security and other platform operations.

Personal information may be processed by such providers where reasonably necessary for the services they perform and subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements.

Independent third-party services may also operate under their own privacy terms and policies.

24.10 Data Security

AKBSTOCK intends to use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the platform to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss or disclosure.

However, no internet-based system, electronic transmission or digital storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Customers are also responsible for maintaining the security of their Account credentials, devices and access methods.

24.11 Data Retention

AKBSTOCK may retain personal information and transaction records for periods reasonably necessary to operate the platform, provide services, maintain licensing and transaction records, resolve disputes and comply with applicable legal, accounting or regulatory obligations.

Detailed retention practices may be described in the Privacy Policy where appropriate.

24.12 Customer Privacy Rights

Customers may have rights concerning their personal information under applicable data protection or privacy laws.

The nature and availability of such rights may depend upon the applicable law and the circumstances of the processing.

AKBSTOCK will provide appropriate mechanisms for exercising applicable privacy rights as described in the Privacy Policy and as required by law.

24.13 International Access

AKBSTOCK may be accessed by Customers located in different countries and regions.

The processing, storage or transfer of information may therefore involve service providers or technical infrastructure located in different jurisdictions.

Where applicable, AKBSTOCK will handle such processing in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the Privacy Policy.

24.14 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

AKBSTOCK may preserve, use or disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, lawful governmental requests, court orders or other legally binding obligations.

Information may also be used or disclosed where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, security or legitimate interests of AKBSTOCK, its Customers or others, subject to applicable law.

24.15 Business Changes

If AKBSTOCK undergoes a legitimate business restructuring, succession, merger, acquisition, transfer or sale of relevant business assets, information associated with the platform may be transferred as part of that transaction where legally permitted.

Any such handling of personal information shall remain subject to applicable data protection requirements.

24.16 Children and Eligibility

The use of AKBSTOCK remains subject to the eligibility requirements established in these Terms.

AKBSTOCK does not intend to knowingly process personal information in a manner inconsistent with applicable requirements relating to children or persons who are not legally eligible to use the relevant services.

Any detailed age-related privacy requirements shall be administered in accordance with applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

24.17 Customer Responsibility for Third-Party Information

Customers must not provide personal information relating to another person through AKBSTOCK unless they are legally permitted to do so.

Where a Customer provides information concerning another person, the Customer is responsible for ensuring that such disclosure is lawful and appropriately authorized where required.

24.18 Security Incidents

Where AKBSTOCK becomes aware of a security incident affecting personal information, it may investigate, contain and address the incident as reasonably appropriate.

Where notification or other action is required by applicable law, AKBSTOCK will take such action in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

Customers should promptly report suspected unauthorized access to their Accounts through the official support channels.

24.19 Changes to Privacy Practices

AKBSTOCK may update its privacy practices and Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, services or platform operations.

Material changes shall be communicated or published in an appropriate manner where required by applicable law.

Customers are encouraged to review the current Privacy Policy periodically.

24.20 Applicable Data Protection Law

AKBSTOCK will handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or restrict any privacy or data protection right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

24.21 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK considers responsible handling of personal information an important part of maintaining Customer trust and operating a reliable digital platform.

This section establishes the general privacy framework within these Terms, while the AKBSTOCK Privacy Policy provides the detailed rules governing the collection, use, storage, disclosure and protection of personal information.

25. Disclaimers

25.1 Purpose

This section establishes the general disclaimers applicable to the AKBSTOCK Website, Products, digital content and related services.

These disclaimers are intended to clarify the nature and limitations of the services provided by AKBSTOCK and shall apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

25.2 Digital Products

AKBSTOCK provides digital textile artwork and related digital Products intended primarily for creative, design and commercial textile applications.

Product characteristics, including file format, dimensions, resolution and other relevant technical information, may vary between Products and should be reviewed before purchase or use.

Customers are responsible for determining whether a Product is appropriate for their intended purpose.

25.3 Product Presentation

AKBSTOCK makes reasonable efforts to present Products accurately through previews, descriptions and other information available on the Website.

However, differences may occur between on-screen presentation and actual output due to device displays, software, scaling, colour settings, viewing conditions and other technical factors.

Product previews are intended to assist Customers in evaluating Products and may not represent every possible production result.

25.4 Colour Representation

Colours displayed on digital screens may vary depending upon monitor calibration, device settings, colour profiles, software and viewing conditions.

AKBSTOCK therefore cannot guarantee that colours displayed on a Customer’s device will exactly match colours produced through a particular printing or manufacturing process.

Customers should conduct appropriate production testing where colour accuracy is commercially important.

25.5 Textile Production Results

The final appearance and performance of textile production may be affected by factors outside the direct control of AKBSTOCK, including fabric composition, printing technology, inks, dyes, colour management, machinery, calibration, finishing processes and production conditions.

Accordingly, identical production results cannot be guaranteed across different fabrics, printers, machines, processes or manufacturing environments.

25.6 Production Sampling

Customers are responsible for conducting appropriate sampling, strike-offs, test prints or other production verification before commencing bulk or commercial manufacturing.

Production testing should be appropriate to the intended fabric, printing method, colour requirements and manufacturing environment.

The Customer remains responsible for approving the final production result before mass production.

25.7 Compatibility

AKBSTOCK does not guarantee compatibility of every Product with every device, software application, printing system, production workflow or manufacturing environment.

Customers are responsible for confirming that they possess the appropriate technical resources required to access and use the relevant Product.

Available Product information should be reviewed before purchase where compatibility is important.

25.8 Professional Judgment

AKBSTOCK Products are creative and production-oriented digital resources and are not a substitute for the professional judgment required in textile manufacturing, printing, colour management or other specialized production processes.

Customers remain responsible for production decisions and for obtaining appropriate professional assistance where necessary.

25.9 No Professional Advice

Information provided through AKBSTOCK is intended primarily to support the use of its Products and services.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, information available through the Website does not constitute legal, financial, accounting, tax or other regulated professional advice.

Customers should obtain independent professional advice where appropriate.

25.10 Website Information

AKBSTOCK makes reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and useful information on the Website.

However, Website information may occasionally contain typographical errors, technical inaccuracies, outdated information or other unintended errors.

AKBSTOCK may correct or update such information where reasonably necessary.

25.11 Website Availability

AKBSTOCK intends to maintain reliable access to the Website and its services.

However, continuous, uninterrupted or error-free availability cannot be guaranteed.

Access may occasionally be affected by maintenance, updates, security measures, hosting issues, internet failures, third-party services or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of AKBSTOCK.

25.12 Third-Party Services

Certain AKBSTOCK functions may depend upon independent third-party services, including payment providers, hosting services, analytics systems, communication services and other technical providers.

AKBSTOCK does not control every aspect of such independent services and cannot guarantee their continuous availability, performance or policies.

Use of third-party services may also be subject to the terms and policies of the applicable provider.

25.13 External Links

The Website may contain links or references to external websites, services or resources operated by third parties.

Such links may be provided for convenience or informational purposes and do not necessarily constitute endorsement, control or responsibility by AKBSTOCK.

Customers should independently review the terms, privacy practices and reliability of external services before using them.

25.14 Customer Decisions

Customers remain responsible for decisions made using Products or information obtained through AKBSTOCK.

This includes decisions concerning design selection, modification, production, manufacturing, printing, marketing and commercial implementation.

AKBSTOCK does not control the manner in which a Customer ultimately implements a lawfully obtained Product.

25.15 Commercial Results

AKBSTOCK does not guarantee any particular commercial result arising from the purchase or use of a Product.

Sales performance, market acceptance, profitability, customer demand and other commercial outcomes depend upon numerous factors beyond the control of AKBSTOCK.

No Product purchase should be interpreted as a guarantee of business or financial success.

25.16 Customer Modifications

Where an applicable License Agreement permits modification of a Product, the Customer remains responsible for modifications made after lawful delivery.

AKBSTOCK cannot guarantee the technical quality, production suitability or performance of a Product after it has been materially altered by the Customer or another party.

Any modification must remain within the rights granted under the applicable License Agreement.

25.17 Customer-Supplied Materials

Where Customers provide files, references, information or other materials to AKBSTOCK, they are responsible for ensuring that they have the lawful authority to provide and use such materials.

AKBSTOCK does not assume ownership of Customer-supplied materials merely because they are submitted through the Website or official communication channels.

Additional intellectual property requirements remain subject to these Terms and applicable legal documents.

25.18 Security Disclaimer

AKBSTOCK intends to maintain reasonable security measures appropriate to the operation of the platform.

However, no website, electronic communication, internet transmission or digital storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure or free from technical vulnerabilities.

Customers are responsible for maintaining reasonable security of their own devices, Accounts, credentials and downloaded files.

25.19 No Implied Guarantees

Except where expressly stated by AKBSTOCK or required by applicable law, no representation should be interpreted as creating an absolute guarantee regarding uninterrupted Website operation, universal technical compatibility, identical production output or particular commercial results.

Any warranties or guarantees that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.

25.20 Statutory Rights

Nothing in this section is intended to exclude, restrict or waive any warranty, guarantee, consumer protection, remedy or other legal right that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or waived.

Where applicable law provides mandatory rights or remedies, those requirements shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

25.21 Relationship With Limitation of Liability

This section describes the general disclaimers applicable to AKBSTOCK, its Website, Products and services.

Any contractual limitation or exclusion of liability is addressed separately in Section 26 — Limitation of Liability.

These sections shall be interpreted together without limiting any right or liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

25.22 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK aims to provide professionally prepared digital textile Products and reliable platform services while recognizing that digital design, printing and commercial production involve technical and operational factors beyond the direct control of AKBSTOCK.

Customers are therefore expected to exercise appropriate professional judgment, review relevant Product information and conduct suitable testing before commercial production.

26. Limitation of Liability

26.1 Purpose

This section establishes reasonable limitations on liability arising from the use of AKBSTOCK, its Website, Products and related services.

These limitations are intended to allocate risk fairly in connection with the supply and use of digital Products and shall apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

26.2 Application of Liability Limitations

The limitations contained in this section apply to claims arising from or relating to the Website, Products, digital delivery, Accounts, transactions, licenses and other services provided through AKBSTOCK.

The application of any limitation remains subject to the nature of the claim, the applicable legal documents and any mandatory requirements of applicable law.

26.3 Customer's Production Responsibility

Customers are responsible for evaluating Products before commercial production and for conducting appropriate sampling, testing and production verification.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for losses resulting solely from a Customer’s failure to conduct reasonable testing before bulk production where such testing would ordinarily be appropriate.

26.4 Printing and Manufacturing Factors

AKBSTOCK does not control the Customer’s fabric, printing machinery, inks, dyes, colour management, production settings, finishing processes or manufacturing environment.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for losses caused solely by printing, manufacturing or production factors outside its reasonable control.

This provision does not exclude responsibility for a defect in a Product where such responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

26.5 Colour and Display Differences

AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for ordinary differences between digital colour presentation and physical production resulting from monitors, devices, colour profiles, fabrics, inks, printing systems or other production variables outside its reasonable control.

Customers should conduct appropriate colour testing where accurate physical reproduction is commercially important.

26.6 Customer Modifications

Where a Customer or third party modifies, edits, converts, resizes, recolors or otherwise alters a Product after delivery, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for defects or losses caused solely by those modifications.

This limitation does not apply to an underlying defect that existed in the Product as originally supplied where liability for that defect cannot lawfully be excluded.

26.7 Software and Technical Compatibility

Customers are responsible for confirming that their software, hardware, devices and production systems are compatible with the stated Product specifications.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for losses resulting solely from incompatible Customer systems where the relevant Product specifications were accurately disclosed before purchase.

26.8 Website Interruptions

AKBSTOCK will make reasonable efforts to maintain reliable Website and service availability.

However, to the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for temporary interruptions caused by maintenance, hosting failures, internet outages, security measures, third-party infrastructure or other circumstances outside its reasonable control.

Where an interruption affects legitimate Product access, AKBSTOCK may make reasonable efforts to restore access.

26.9 Third-Party Services

AKBSTOCK may rely upon independent third-party providers for payments, hosting, communications, analytics and other technical services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for acts, omissions, outages or failures occurring solely within an independent third-party service and outside AKBSTOCK’s reasonable control.

Nothing in this provision limits responsibility that applicable law specifically places upon AKBSTOCK.

26.10 Customer Account Security

Customers are responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect their Account credentials, devices and access methods.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for losses caused solely by a Customer’s disclosure of credentials, failure to use reasonable security precautions or unauthorized activity outside AKBSTOCK’s reasonable control.

Account security obligations are further addressed in Section 16 — User Accounts & Account Security.

26.11 Downloaded File Storage

Customers are responsible for maintaining reasonable backups of Products after successful download.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for loss of a downloaded Product caused solely by the Customer’s device failure, accidental deletion, storage failure or failure to maintain reasonable backups.

Any available re-download access remains subject to Section 23 — Product Delivery & Download Access.

26.12 Unauthorized or Unlicensed Use

AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible for consequences arising from a Customer’s use of a Product outside the scope of the applicable License Agreement or in violation of applicable law.

Customers remain responsible for ensuring that their use, distribution, manufacturing and commercial exploitation of Products are properly authorized.

26.13 Business and Commercial Decisions

Customers remain responsible for their own business, design, production, marketing and commercial decisions.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be responsible merely because a Product fails to achieve a Customer’s expected sales, profitability, market acceptance or other commercial result.

26.14 Indirect and Consequential Losses

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising from the use of the Website, Products or services where such losses were not directly caused by a breach for which AKBSTOCK is legally responsible.

This may include loss of anticipated profits, business opportunities or other consequential commercial losses, subject always to any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

26.15 Loss of Profits or Business Opportunity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AKBSTOCK does not guarantee and shall not be responsible for anticipated profits, sales, business opportunities, market performance or commercial success expected by a Customer from the use of a Product.

Nothing in this provision excludes liability for losses for which exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

26.16 Customer's Duty to Minimize Loss

Where a problem relating to a Product, transaction or service becomes known, Customers should take reasonable steps to avoid unnecessary additional loss and should notify AKBSTOCK where assistance may reasonably resolve the issue.

Nothing in this provision requires a Customer to take unreasonable measures or limits any mandatory legal remedy.

26.17 Reasonable Opportunity to Resolve Issues

Where reasonably practicable, Customers are encouraged to notify AKBSTOCK of genuine Product, download, transaction or technical issues and provide a reasonable opportunity for the matter to be investigated and resolved.

Depending upon the circumstances, an appropriate resolution may include restoration of access, correction of a file, replacement or another remedy available under the applicable legal documents and law.

26.18 Maximum Aggregate Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, where AKBSTOCK is found liable in connection with a particular paid Product, order or transaction, AKBSTOCK’s aggregate contractual liability arising directly from that particular transaction shall not exceed the amount actually paid to AKBSTOCK by the Customer for that transaction.

This limitation shall not apply to any liability, remedy or statutory right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, and shall not operate where applicable law requires a different measure of liability.

26.19 Free Products and Free Services

Where a Product or service is provided without charge, liability relating to that free Product or service shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in this provision excludes any responsibility or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded merely because the Product or service was provided free of charge.

26.20 Exceptions to Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

This includes any liability or statutory remedy that applicable law expressly requires to remain available.

Any limitation contained in these Terms shall therefore be interpreted only to the maximum extent legally permitted.

26.21 Mandatory Consumer Rights

Nothing in this section is intended to remove, restrict or reduce any mandatory consumer protection right or remedy available to a Customer under applicable law.

Where a provision of this section conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, that requirement shall prevail to the extent of the conflict.

26.22 Proportional Application

The limitations contained in this section shall be applied reasonably and only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

A limitation intended to address circumstances outside AKBSTOCK’s reasonable control shall not automatically excuse conduct for which AKBSTOCK remains legally responsible.

26.23 Relationship With Refunds and Remedies

Nothing in this section prevents a Customer from seeking a refund, replacement, correction or other remedy where such remedy is available under Section 22 — Refunds & Cancellations, the applicable Refund & Cancellation Policy or applicable law.

Any approved remedy shall be administered in accordance with the relevant legal documents and legal requirements.

26.24 Relationship With Disclaimers

Section 25 — Disclaimers explains the nature and practical limitations of AKBSTOCK Products and services.

This section establishes the contractual framework governing limitations of liability.

The two sections shall be interpreted together and always subject to applicable law.

26.25 Severability of Liability Limitations

If any limitation or exclusion contained in this section is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be interpreted or limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law where legally possible.

The remaining provisions shall continue to apply to the extent that they remain valid and enforceable.

26.26 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK intends these liability provisions to establish a reasonable allocation of risk between AKBSTOCK and its Customers while preserving rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Customers remain responsible for reviewing Products, maintaining appropriate technical and production practices and using Products within the scope of the applicable License Agreements.

27. Indemnification

27.1 Purpose

This section establishes the circumstances in which a Customer may be responsible for certain claims, losses, liabilities or reasonable costs arising from the Customer’s unlawful or unauthorized use of AKBSTOCK, its Products or services.

Any indemnification obligation under this section shall apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the conditions stated below.

27.2 Customer Indemnification Obligation

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Customer agrees to indemnify and hold AKBSTOCK harmless from third-party claims, liabilities, losses, damages and reasonable costs arising directly from the Customer’s material breach of these Terms, violation of an applicable License Agreement, unlawful conduct or infringement of third-party rights.

This obligation applies only to the extent that the relevant claim or loss is attributable to the Customer’s acts or omissions.

27.3 Violation of License Terms

A Customer may be responsible for third-party claims arising directly from the Customer’s use, distribution, reproduction, resale, sublicensing or other exploitation of a Product outside the rights granted under the applicable License Agreement.

Lawful use within the applicable license scope does not create an indemnification obligation merely because a Product has been commercially used.

27.4 Unauthorized Use of Products

Where a Customer knowingly or materially uses an AKBSTOCK Product without authorization or beyond the applicable license scope, the Customer may be responsible for claims or losses directly resulting from such unauthorized use.

This may include unauthorized redistribution, resale, sharing or commercial exploitation of Product files.

27.5 Violation of Intellectual Property Rights

A Customer may be responsible for third-party claims arising from intellectual property infringement caused by the Customer’s own unauthorized modifications, additions, representations, distribution or use of a Product.

This provision does not require the Customer to indemnify AKBSTOCK for an infringement arising solely from the Product as originally supplied by AKBSTOCK and used by the Customer strictly within the applicable license scope.

27.6 Customer-Supplied Materials

Where a Customer provides artwork, images, references, trademarks, text, files or other materials to AKBSTOCK, the Customer represents that they have the rights or lawful authority reasonably necessary to provide such materials for the requested purpose.

The Customer may be responsible for third-party claims arising directly from materials supplied without the necessary rights or authorization.

This provision does not apply to infringement independently introduced by AKBSTOCK.

27.7 Customer Modifications

Where a Customer modifies an AKBSTOCK Product, the Customer is responsible for ensuring that the modification and resulting use comply with applicable law and the applicable License Agreement.

The Customer may be responsible for third-party claims caused directly by material added or changes made by the Customer or another party acting under the Customer’s authority.

AKBSTOCK remains responsible for matters that cannot lawfully be transferred to the Customer.

27.8 Unlawful Conduct

A Customer may be responsible for claims, liabilities or reasonable costs arising directly from the Customer’s use of AKBSTOCK, its Products or services in violation of applicable law.

Nothing in this provision makes the Customer responsible for unlawful conduct attributable solely to AKBSTOCK.

27.9 Fraud or Misrepresentation

A Customer may be responsible for claims or losses arising directly from fraudulent conduct, intentional deception or material misrepresentation carried out by the Customer in connection with an Account, transaction, license, payment, complaint or use of AKBSTOCK.

Good-faith errors, legitimate disputes or reasonable complaints shall not by themselves constitute fraud or misrepresentation.

27.10 Account Misuse

Where a Customer knowingly permits or participates in unauthorized or prohibited use of their Account, the Customer may be responsible for third-party claims directly resulting from such misuse.

This provision shall not automatically make a Customer responsible for unauthorized Account activity occurring without their authorization and despite reasonable security precautions.

27.11 Breach of Customer Representations

Where these Terms or another applicable AKBSTOCK legal document requires a Customer to make a material representation regarding authority, ownership, authorization or lawful use, the Customer is responsible for ensuring that such representation is accurate.

A Customer may be responsible for third-party claims arising directly from a material representation that the Customer knowingly or negligently provided inaccurately.

27.12 Third-Party Claims

Indemnification under this section is primarily intended to address claims brought against AKBSTOCK by third parties as a direct result of conduct attributable to the Customer and covered by this section.

AKBSTOCK shall provide reasonable information regarding an indemnified third-party claim where necessary to allow the Customer to understand and appropriately respond to the matter.

27.13 Notice of Claim

Where AKBSTOCK seeks indemnification under this section, it will provide the Customer with reasonable notice of the relevant claim where reasonably practicable.

A delay in providing notice shall not automatically eliminate an otherwise valid indemnification obligation unless the delay materially prejudices the Customer’s ability to respond to the claim.

27.14 Cooperation

The parties shall provide reasonable cooperation in relation to a third-party claim covered by this section.

The Customer shall not be required to provide cooperation that is unlawful, unreasonable or unrelated to the relevant claim.

Reasonable cooperation may include providing relevant records, transaction information or other information legitimately necessary to evaluate or defend the claim.

27.15 Defense of Claims

Where a third-party claim is subject to indemnification, AKBSTOCK may participate in the defense of the claim where reasonably necessary to protect its interests.

The parties should cooperate reasonably regarding the defense and resolution of the claim.

Neither party should take unreasonable action that materially prejudices the legitimate legal interests of the other in relation to the claim.

27.16 Settlement of Claims

A Customer shall not be required under this section to accept a settlement that imposes an admission of wrongdoing, non-monetary obligation or additional liability upon the Customer without the Customer’s reasonable consent.

Similarly, a Customer responsible for defending an indemnified claim should not settle the claim in a manner that imposes material liability or obligations upon AKBSTOCK without AKBSTOCK’s reasonable consent.

27.17 Reasonable Costs

Where indemnification validly applies, recoverable costs may include reasonable and documented legal fees, defense costs, settlement amounts or other losses directly associated with the covered third-party claim, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification does not create a right to recover arbitrary, speculative, duplicated or unrelated amounts.

27.18 No Indemnification for AKBSTOCK's Own Conduct

A Customer shall not be required to indemnify AKBSTOCK to the extent that a claim or loss results from AKBSTOCK’s own breach, unlawful conduct, infringement, fraud, willful misconduct or other act for which responsibility cannot lawfully be transferred to the Customer.

Where both parties materially contribute to a claim, responsibility shall be determined according to the circumstances and applicable law.

27.19 No Automatic Liability

The existence of a complaint, allegation, demand or legal claim does not automatically establish that the Customer has breached these Terms or owes indemnification.

Any indemnification obligation must arise from circumstances actually covered by this section and shall remain subject to applicable law.

27.20 Duty to Mitigate

AKBSTOCK shall take reasonable steps to avoid or reduce unnecessary losses relating to a claim for which indemnification is sought.

The Customer shall not be responsible under this section for losses that were unnecessarily increased by an unreasonable failure to mitigate where applicable law recognizes such a requirement.

27.21 Relationship With Limitation of Liability

This section addresses indemnification obligations arising in specified circumstances, particularly in relation to third-party claims.

Section 26 — Limitation of Liability separately establishes the general contractual framework governing limitations of liability.

The two sections shall be interpreted together and only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

27.22 Relationship With Intellectual Property Rights

Where an indemnification matter involves intellectual property, this section shall be read together with Section 19 — Licenses & Usage Rights, Section 20 — Intellectual Property Rights and the applicable License Agreement.

Detailed copyright complaint procedures remain governed by the applicable AKBSTOCK Copyright Policy or Copyright Complaint procedure and are not replaced by this section.

27.23 Survival

An indemnification obligation relating to conduct that occurred while these Terms or an applicable License Agreement were in effect may survive Account closure, termination or completion of the relevant transaction where the nature of the obligation reasonably requires it.

Such survival shall apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

27.24 Mandatory Legal Rights

Nothing in this section is intended to exclude, transfer, restrict or waive any liability, defense, consumer right or legal remedy where such exclusion, transfer, restriction or waiver is prohibited by applicable law.

Any indemnification obligation shall therefore be interpreted only to the maximum extent legally enforceable.

27.25 Final Provision

The purpose of indemnification is to allocate responsibility for third-party claims arising from conduct attributable to the party responsible for that conduct, rather than to impose automatic or unlimited liability.

AKBSTOCK intends this section to operate reasonably, proportionately and in accordance with the applicable License Agreements, these Terms and applicable law.

28. Termination & Suspension

28.1 Purpose

This section establishes the circumstances in which access to an AKBSTOCK Account, Product, service or other Platform feature may be restricted, suspended or terminated.

AKBSTOCK intends to apply suspension and termination measures reasonably, proportionately and in accordance with these Terms, applicable legal documents and applicable law.

28.2 Customer's Right to Stop Using AKBSTOCK

A Customer may stop using AKBSTOCK at any time and may request closure of their Account through the available Account features or official support channels.

Stopping use of the Website or closing an Account does not automatically cancel obligations, transactions, licenses or responsibilities that arose before such closure or are intended to continue afterward.

28.3 Suspension by AKBSTOCK

AKBSTOCK may temporarily suspend or restrict an Account, transaction, download entitlement or Platform feature where there are reasonable grounds to protect the Platform, Customers, intellectual property, payment systems or other legitimate interests.

Suspension may be used while a suspected violation, security concern, payment issue or other relevant matter is investigated.

28.4 Grounds for Suspension

Reasonable grounds for temporary suspension may include suspected Account compromise, fraudulent activity, unauthorized access, unusual download activity, payment disputes, suspected license violations, security threats or other material concerns requiring investigation.

The existence of a temporary suspension does not by itself establish that a violation has occurred.

28.5 Immediate Protective Suspension

AKBSTOCK may impose an immediate temporary restriction where delay could reasonably create a material security risk, enable continued unauthorized distribution, facilitate fraud, compromise intellectual property or cause significant harm to AKBSTOCK, Customers or third parties.

Such action may be taken before completing an investigation where immediate protection is reasonably necessary.

28.6 Investigation and Review

Where an Account or access is suspended because of suspected misconduct, AKBSTOCK may review relevant Account, transaction, download, licensing, security or support information reasonably necessary to investigate the matter.

The scope of the review should be proportionate to the nature of the suspected issue.

AKBSTOCK may request additional information from the Customer where reasonably necessary.

28.7 Opportunity to Clarify

Where reasonably practicable and appropriate, AKBSTOCK may provide the affected Customer an opportunity to clarify relevant circumstances or provide information relating to a suspected violation.

An opportunity to clarify may not be provided before urgent protective action where immediate restriction is reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, intellectual property protection or legal compliance.

28.8 Restoration After Review

Where an investigation reasonably establishes that continued suspension is unnecessary, AKBSTOCK may restore the affected Account, download access or Platform functionality.

Restoration may be subject to reasonable security or verification measures where necessary to prevent recurrence of the underlying issue.

28.9 Termination for Material Breach

AKBSTOCK may terminate an Account or applicable access where a Customer materially breaches these Terms, an applicable License Agreement or another binding AKBSTOCK legal document and termination is reasonable in the circumstances.

Where a breach can reasonably be corrected, AKBSTOCK may provide an opportunity to remedy the breach before permanent termination where appropriate.

28.10 Repeated Violations

Repeated violations of these Terms, License Agreements or other applicable legal requirements may result in suspension or termination even where individual violations might otherwise have resulted in less restrictive action.

AKBSTOCK may consider the nature, frequency, seriousness and consequences of previous violations when determining an appropriate response.

28.11 Fraud and Unauthorized Transactions

AKBSTOCK may suspend or terminate access where there is sufficient reason to conclude that an Account has been used for fraud, intentionally unauthorized transactions, payment manipulation or other materially deceptive conduct.

AKBSTOCK may preserve relevant records and cooperate with payment providers or lawful authorities where reasonably necessary and legally permitted.

28.12 Intellectual Property Violations

Material or repeated unauthorized copying, redistribution, resale, sublicensing or other infringement involving AKBSTOCK Products may result in suspension or termination.

Intellectual property matters remain subject to Section 20 — Intellectual Property Rights, the applicable License Agreements and other relevant AKBSTOCK legal documents.

Detailed copyright complaint procedures remain governed separately by the applicable Copyright Policy or Copyright Complaint procedure.

28.13 License Violations

Use of a Product materially outside the scope of the applicable License Agreement may result in restriction, suspension or termination where proportionate to the violation.

AKBSTOCK may consider whether the violation was intentional, repeated, commercially significant or capable of reasonable correction before determining permanent action.

28.14 Prohibited Conduct

Conduct prohibited under Section 21 — Prohibited Uses may result in appropriate enforcement action under this section.

The response may range from a warning or temporary restriction to permanent termination depending upon the seriousness, frequency and consequences of the conduct.

28.15 Security Threats

AKBSTOCK may immediately restrict access where an Account, device, activity or access method reasonably appears to threaten the security, integrity or availability of the Website or related systems.

Restrictions may remain in place for as long as reasonably necessary to investigate, contain and address the relevant security risk.

28.16 Legal or Regulatory Requirements

AKBSTOCK may restrict, suspend or terminate access where required by applicable law, a legally binding order, a competent authority or another enforceable legal obligation.

Where legally permitted and reasonably appropriate, AKBSTOCK may provide affected Customers with relevant information concerning such action.

28.17 Subscription Suspension or Termination

Where a Customer uses an AKBSTOCK Subscription Plan, suspension, cancellation, expiration or termination of subscription benefits may also be governed by the applicable Subscription Agreement.

Termination of a Subscription Plan does not automatically determine the status of rights relating to Products lawfully obtained before termination.

Such rights shall be determined by the applicable Subscription License terms.

28.18 Effect on Download Access

Suspension or termination may result in loss or restriction of access to Account-based download features, subscription benefits or other Platform functionality.

Customers are responsible for maintaining reasonable backups of Products lawfully downloaded before termination.

The status of any continuing license to previously obtained Products shall be determined separately under the applicable License Agreement.

28.19 Existing Licenses After Account Termination

Account closure, suspension or termination does not automatically revoke every license previously and lawfully granted to a Customer.

The continuing validity of an existing license shall depend upon the applicable License Agreement, the nature of the termination and whether the license itself has been validly terminated or otherwise affected under its terms or applicable law.

Customers must continue to comply with any license conditions that remain in effect.

28.20 No New Rights After Termination

Following termination of an Account or applicable service, the Customer shall not acquire new download, subscription or licensing rights through the terminated access unless AKBSTOCK subsequently restores or authorizes such access.

Previously acquired rights, if any, remain governed by Section 28.19 and the applicable License Agreement.

28.21 Outstanding Payments and Obligations

Termination or Account closure does not automatically extinguish payment obligations, transaction responsibilities, intellectual property obligations or other liabilities that arose before termination.

Any outstanding matter shall continue to be governed by the applicable legal documents and applicable law.

28.22 Records Following Termination

AKBSTOCK may retain relevant Account, transaction, licensing, security and enforcement records following suspension or termination where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, accounting, fraud prevention, intellectual property protection, dispute resolution or other legitimate purposes.

Retention and processing of personal information remain subject to the applicable Privacy Policy and data protection requirements.

28.23 Attempts to Circumvent Termination

A User whose Account has been validly suspended or terminated must not create or use another Account primarily for the purpose of circumventing that restriction.

AKBSTOCK may restrict additional Accounts reasonably determined to be used for such circumvention.

This provision does not prevent a person from seeking legitimate review, clarification or restoration through official AKBSTOCK channels.

28.24 Customer Request for Review

Where an Account or material access has been suspended or terminated by AKBSTOCK, the affected Customer may contact AKBSTOCK through the official support channels to request reasonable clarification or review.

The Customer should provide sufficient information to identify the Account and explain the basis of the request.

A request for review does not automatically require restoration where the restriction remains justified under these Terms or applicable law.

28.25 Reinstatement

AKBSTOCK may reinstate an Account, service or access where the underlying issue has been resolved, appropriate verification has been completed or continued restriction is no longer reasonably necessary.

Reinstatement may be subject to reasonable conditions intended to protect the Platform, Customers, intellectual property or payment systems.

Reinstatement is not guaranteed where permanent termination remains justified.

28.26 Survival of Certain Provisions

Provisions that by their nature are intended to continue after suspension, Account closure or termination shall remain effective to the extent applicable.

These may include provisions concerning intellectual property ownership, continuing license restrictions, outstanding payments, liability, indemnification, dispute resolution and other accrued rights or obligations.

28.27 Mandatory Legal Rights

Nothing in this section is intended to remove, restrict or waive any mandatory legal, contractual or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

Any suspension or termination action shall remain subject to applicable law.

28.28 Proportional Enforcement

AKBSTOCK intends to apply enforcement measures proportionately to the circumstances.

Where reasonably appropriate, factors such as seriousness, intent, repetition, potential harm, actual harm, cooperation and the ability to correct a violation may be considered before permanent termination.

Nothing in this provision prevents immediate protective action where reasonably necessary.

28.29 Relationship With Other Legal Documents

This section shall be read together with Section 16 — User Accounts & Account Security, Section 19 — Licenses & Usage Rights, Section 20 — Intellectual Property Rights, Section 21 — Prohibited Uses and the applicable AKBSTOCK License Agreements and policies.

Where a specific legal document contains termination or suspension provisions applicable to a particular license, subscription, Product or service, those provisions shall apply together with these Terms.

28.30 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK intends suspension and termination measures to protect the lawful, secure and reliable operation of the Platform rather than to impose arbitrary restrictions on Customers.

Enforcement decisions shall therefore be based upon the circumstances reasonably available to AKBSTOCK, the applicable legal documents and applicable law.

29. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

29.1 Purpose

This section establishes the general framework governing the law applicable to these Terms and the resolution of disputes relating to AKBSTOCK, its Website, Products, transactions, licenses and services.

The parties are encouraged to make reasonable efforts to resolve genuine concerns through direct communication before commencing formal legal proceedings where appropriate.

29.2 Governing Law

These Terms and the relationship between AKBSTOCK and the Customer shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of India, subject to any mandatory legal rights or protections that may apply to the Customer under applicable law.

The application of Indian law shall not operate to exclude any mandatory protection that cannot lawfully be excluded by contractual agreement.

29.3 Applicable Indian Law

AKBSTOCK operates its legal framework under the laws and regulations applicable in India.

Depending upon the nature of a particular matter, relevant requirements may include applicable contract, consumer protection, electronic commerce, information technology, intellectual property, privacy, payment and other laws and regulations.

Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as limiting the application of a mandatory legal requirement.

29.4 Good-Faith Resolution

Where a dispute or disagreement arises, AKBSTOCK and the Customer are encouraged to first make reasonable efforts to understand and resolve the matter in good faith.

Where appropriate, this may include reviewing the relevant order, Product, License Agreement, Account records, communications and other information relating to the dispute.

Good-faith resolution is intended to provide an efficient opportunity to resolve genuine issues without unnecessary formal proceedings.

29.5 Contact Before Formal Proceedings

Where reasonably practicable, a Customer should contact AKBSTOCK through the official support or legal communication channel before commencing formal proceedings relating to a dispute.

The communication should provide sufficient information to identify the relevant Account, transaction, Product or issue and should reasonably explain the nature of the concern.

Nothing in this provision prevents a Customer from taking urgent legal action or exercising a legal right where prior notice cannot lawfully or reasonably be required.

29.6 AKBSTOCK Review of Disputes

Upon receiving sufficient information regarding a genuine dispute, AKBSTOCK may review relevant records and circumstances reasonably necessary to understand the matter.

AKBSTOCK may request additional information where reasonably required and may propose an appropriate resolution where the circumstances justify one.

The review of a dispute does not require either party to accept a resolution that is inconsistent with applicable law or binding contractual rights.

29.7 Informal Resolution Period

Where appropriate, the parties should allow a reasonable period for genuine communication and attempted resolution before escalating a dispute.

The appropriate period may depend upon the complexity, urgency and nature of the matter.

Nothing in this provision extends, shortens or overrides any mandatory limitation period, statutory deadline or right to seek urgent relief.

29.8 Unresolved Disputes

If a dispute cannot reasonably be resolved through direct communication, either party may pursue the remedies available under these Terms and applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms requires a party to abandon a lawful claim merely because informal resolution has been unsuccessful.

29.9 Jurisdiction

Subject to applicable law and any mandatory jurisdictional rights available to a Customer, disputes arising from or relating to these Terms, the Website, Products, transactions or services shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

Nothing in this provision prevents a matter from being brought before another court, tribunal, consumer authority or forum where applicable law provides a mandatory right to do so.

29.10 International Customers

AKBSTOCK may provide Products and services to Customers located outside India.

International Customers acknowledge that these Terms are governed by the law specified in this section, subject to mandatory rights that may apply under the laws of their jurisdiction.

Customers are responsible for complying with laws applicable to their own use of AKBSTOCK Products and services.

29.11 Consumer Disputes

Where a Customer qualifies for mandatory consumer protection rights under applicable law, nothing in these Terms is intended to prevent the Customer from using a legally available consumer complaint, redressal or dispute-resolution mechanism.

Any contractual dispute provision shall be interpreted consistently with such mandatory consumer rights.

29.12 Intellectual Property Disputes

Disputes concerning ownership, licensing, unauthorized use, infringement or other intellectual property matters shall be considered together with Section 19 — Licenses & Usage Rights and Section 20 — Intellectual Property Rights, as applicable.

Nothing in this section limits the right of an affected party to seek lawful relief where immediate action is reasonably necessary to protect intellectual property rights.

Copyright complaint procedures remain governed separately by the applicable AKBSTOCK Copyright Policy or Copyright Complaint procedure.

29.13 Payment and Transaction Disputes

Disputes concerning payments, refunds, duplicate charges, transaction errors or chargebacks shall be considered together with the applicable payment terms and Section 22 — Refunds & Cancellations.

Where an independent payment provider or financial institution is involved, its applicable dispute procedures may also apply.

Nothing in this provision restricts a lawful payment or consumer remedy.

29.14 License Disputes

Where a dispute concerns the scope, interpretation or use of a Product license, the applicable License Agreement shall be reviewed together with these Terms.

The specific License Agreement applicable to the relevant Product or transaction shall govern the licensed rights granted to the Customer, subject to applicable law.

29.15 Evidence and Records

Subject to applicable law, relevant Account records, order information, transaction records, license records, download records, communications and other legitimate business records may be used when reviewing or resolving a dispute.

The existence of a record does not by itself determine the outcome of a dispute, and each matter shall be considered according to the relevant circumstances and applicable law.

29.16 Electronic Communications

Where legally permitted, communications, notices, transaction confirmations and other records exchanged electronically may be considered in connection with a dispute.

The legal effect and admissibility of electronic records shall remain subject to applicable law.

29.17 No Automatic Waiver

A party’s decision not to immediately enforce a contractual right or pursue a particular remedy shall not automatically constitute a permanent waiver of that right or remedy.

Any waiver shall apply only to the extent legally established by the circumstances or expressly agreed in writing where required.

29.18 Urgent or Protective Relief

Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking urgent, interim or protective relief from a competent court or authority where reasonably necessary to prevent serious harm, preserve legal rights, protect confidential information, address fraud or protect intellectual property.

The availability of such relief shall be determined under applicable law.

29.19 No Mandatory Arbitration Unless Separately Agreed

These Terms do not require a Customer to submit every dispute to mandatory arbitration unless an applicable written agreement expressly and lawfully provides otherwise.

If AKBSTOCK introduces an arbitration mechanism in the future, its scope, procedure and legal effect shall be clearly stated in the applicable legal document and shall remain subject to applicable law.

29.20 Costs of Dispute Resolution

Each party shall generally remain responsible for its own costs incurred in communicating about or pursuing a dispute, except where a court, tribunal, applicable agreement or law determines otherwise.

Nothing in this provision prevents an award or recovery of costs where legally available.

29.21 Limitation Periods

Any claim arising from these Terms or the use of AKBSTOCK shall remain subject to the limitation periods and procedural requirements established by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to unlawfully shorten a mandatory limitation period or prevent a Customer from exercising a claim within the period legally available to them.

29.22 Language and Interpretation

The official legal documents published by AKBSTOCK may be prepared in English.

Where a translation, explanation or summary is provided for convenience, the applicable official version shall govern to the extent legally permitted in the event of a material inconsistency.

Nothing in this provision overrides any language requirement imposed by applicable law.

29.23 Mandatory Legal and Consumer Rights

Nothing in this section is intended to exclude, restrict or waive access to any court, tribunal, consumer authority, statutory remedy or dispute-resolution mechanism where such access cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or waived.

Any conflicting contractual provision shall be interpreted only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

29.24 Relationship With Other AKBSTOCK Legal Documents

This section establishes the general governing-law and dispute-resolution framework for these Terms.

Specific License Agreements, Subscription terms, Refund & Cancellation Policy, Privacy Policy, Copyright Policy and other applicable AKBSTOCK legal documents may contain additional provisions relevant to particular disputes.

Such documents shall be read together where applicable, subject to any expressly stated order of precedence and applicable law.

29.25 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK intends genuine disputes to be addressed fairly, reasonably and efficiently wherever possible.

The parties are encouraged to use good-faith communication before formal escalation while preserving their respective contractual, statutory and legal rights.

Where formal resolution becomes necessary, the matter shall be handled in accordance with these Terms, the applicable AKBSTOCK legal documents and applicable law.

30. Changes to These Terms

30.1 Right to Update These Terms

AKBSTOCK may revise, update, modify or replace these Terms from time to time where reasonably necessary.

Changes may be made to reflect developments in the Website, Products, services, business operations, licensing structure, payment systems, technology, security practices, legal requirements or other legitimate operational needs.

30.2 Reasons for Changes

AKBSTOCK may update these Terms for reasons including, but not limited to:

• Changes in applicable laws or regulations.

• Introduction, modification or discontinuation of Website features or services.

• Changes to Products, licensing models or Subscription Plans.

• Changes to payment, billing or delivery systems.

• Security, fraud-prevention or technical requirements.

• Clarification of existing provisions.

• Improvement of Customer protections or operational procedures.

• Changes reasonably necessary for the continued operation and development of AKBSTOCK.

30.3 Publication of Updated Terms

Updated Terms may be published on the AKBSTOCK Website and shall display an appropriate revision, version or “Last Updated” date.

Customers are encouraged to review the current Terms periodically, particularly before making new purchases, entering into new transactions or using newly introduced services.

30.4 Effective Date of Changes

Unless otherwise stated, updated Terms shall become effective from the date specified in the updated version or upon publication on the Website, as permitted by applicable law.

Where applicable law requires advance notice, consent or another procedure before a particular change becomes effective, AKBSTOCK shall seek to comply with that requirement.

30.5 Material Changes

Where AKBSTOCK makes a material change that significantly affects Customers’ rights or obligations, AKBSTOCK may provide reasonable notice through the Website, Account interface, email or another appropriate communication method.

The form and timing of any notice may depend upon the nature of the change, the affected service and applicable legal requirements.

30.6 Non-Material Changes

AKBSTOCK may make non-material changes without individual notice where appropriate.

Such changes may include formatting improvements, grammatical corrections, clarification of language, administrative updates, updated contact information, corrected references or other changes that do not materially alter the rights or obligations of the parties.

30.7 Existing Purchases and Licenses

Changes to these Terms shall not automatically alter the specific license rights validly granted for a Product purchased before the effective date of the updated Terms.

The rights attached to an existing purchase shall remain subject to the License Agreement and legal terms applicable to that transaction, except where a change is required by applicable law or is otherwise lawfully agreed.

AKBSTOCK shall not use an update to these Terms merely to withdraw previously granted perpetual license rights where those rights were validly granted and remain legally enforceable.

30.8 New Purchases and Transactions

New purchases, downloads, subscriptions, licenses or other transactions occurring after updated Terms become effective may be governed by the version of the Terms applicable at the time of the relevant transaction.

Customers should review the applicable terms before completing a new purchase or transaction.

30.9 Subscription Services

Changes affecting Subscription Plans may also be governed by the applicable Subscription Agreement, pricing terms and other subscription-specific conditions.

Where a material change affects an active Subscription, any notice, effective date, renewal treatment or Customer rights shall be determined in accordance with the applicable Subscription Agreement and applicable law.

Detailed subscription-specific rules are therefore not repeated in this section.

30.10 Pricing Changes

AKBSTOCK may change the pricing of Products, services or plans offered for future transactions.

A subsequent pricing change shall not by itself alter the amount already lawfully paid for a completed transaction.

Subscription pricing changes, where applicable, shall be handled in accordance with the applicable Subscription Agreement and any mandatory notice requirements.

30.11 Changes Required by Law

AKBSTOCK may modify these Terms where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, governmental requirements or other binding legal obligations.

Where such a change must take effect immediately or within a legally prescribed period, AKBSTOCK may implement the change accordingly, subject to applicable law.

30.12 Changes to Related Legal Documents

Other AKBSTOCK legal documents may be updated separately from these Terms.

These may include the Privacy Policy, Refund & Cancellation Policy, Copyright Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Commercial License Agreement, Subscription Agreement, Exclusive License Agreement and other applicable policies or notices.

An update to one legal document does not automatically amend another document unless expressly stated or legally required.

30.13 Continued Use After Changes

Where permitted by applicable law, continued use of the Website or relevant services after updated Terms become effective may constitute acceptance of the updated Terms for such continued use.

However, continued use shall not be interpreted as consent where applicable law requires express consent or another specific form of acceptance.

30.14 If a Customer Does Not Accept Updated Terms

If a Customer does not agree with updated Terms applicable to future use of the Website or services, the Customer may discontinue such future use.

Any rights and obligations arising from earlier completed transactions shall continue to be determined by the applicable legal documents, contractual terms and law governing those transactions.

30.15 Version Records

AKBSTOCK may maintain reasonable records of previous versions of these Terms for administrative, compliance, dispute-resolution and legal purposes.

Where reasonably necessary, such records may assist in identifying the terms applicable to a particular transaction or period.

30.16 Customer Responsibility to Review Terms

Customers are encouraged to review these Terms periodically and before entering into significant new transactions with AKBSTOCK.

The current version published through the official AKBSTOCK Website should be consulted when determining the Terms applicable to future use, subject to the protections applicable to earlier transactions.

30.17 No Retroactive Removal of Accrued Rights

Except where permitted or required by applicable law, an amendment to these Terms shall not be interpreted as retroactively removing a right that had already validly accrued to either party before the amendment became effective.

Nothing in this provision prevents AKBSTOCK from enforcing existing restrictions, obligations or remedies that already applied to the relevant transaction or conduct.

30.18 Order of Application

Where different versions of these Terms may potentially apply, the relevant version shall be determined according to the date and nature of the Website use, transaction, purchase, subscription, license or other relevant activity.

Specific License Agreements or other applicable legal documents may contain additional rules concerning amendments or continuing rights and shall be read together with these Terms.

30.19 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK intends to maintain its Terms as a clear and evolving legal framework capable of adapting to changes in its platform, services, technology and legal obligations.

Updates shall be made with the objective of maintaining clarity, lawful operation, reasonable Customer protection and the long-term integrity of the AKBSTOCK platform.

The latest applicable version of these Terms shall govern subject to existing contractual rights, applicable legal documents and mandatory law.

31. Entire Agreement

31.1 Purpose

This Section explains how these Terms operate together with other applicable AKBSTOCK legal documents.

The purpose is to identify the contractual framework governing the relationship between AKBSTOCK and its Customers and to reduce uncertainty regarding statements, communications or materials outside that framework.

31.2 Applicable Legal Framework

These Terms, together with any applicable License Agreement, policy, transaction-specific terms and other legal documents expressly incorporated or made applicable to a particular Product, service, Account, Subscription or transaction, constitute the applicable legal framework between AKBSTOCK and the Customer concerning that subject matter.

The documents applicable to a particular Customer may vary depending upon the Products, licenses, services or features used by that Customer.

31.3 Related Legal Documents

Depending upon the nature of the transaction or use of AKBSTOCK, the applicable legal documents may include:

• AKBSTOCK Legal Foundation.

• Privacy Policy.

• Refund & Cancellation Policy.

• Copyright Policy.

• Acceptable Use Policy.

• Commercial License Agreement.

• Subscription Agreement.

• Exclusive License Agreement.

• Copyright Complaint procedures or related legal notices.

• Any additional terms expressly applicable to a particular Product, service, transaction or feature.

Each document shall apply according to its stated purpose and scope.

31.4 License Agreements

Where a Product is supplied under a specific License Agreement, that License Agreement forms part of the contractual framework governing the permitted use of that Product.

The applicable License Agreement shall determine the specific rights, restrictions, permissions and conditions associated with the relevant license.

These Terms govern the broader relationship with AKBSTOCK and do not replace the specific licensing provisions contained in the applicable License Agreement.

31.5 Transaction-Specific Terms

Certain Products, services, subscriptions, promotions or transactions may be subject to additional terms disclosed before or at the time of the relevant transaction.

Where accepted or otherwise validly applicable, such transaction-specific terms form part of the agreement governing that transaction.

They shall be interpreted together with these Terms and the other applicable legal documents.

31.6 Order of Interpretation

AKBSTOCK legal documents are intended to operate together and should, wherever reasonably possible, be interpreted consistently.

Where provisions address different subject matters, each provision shall apply within its intended scope.

Where a genuine conflict exists between a general provision in these Terms and a more specific provision contained in an applicable License Agreement or transaction-specific legal document, the more specific provision shall ordinarily govern that particular subject matter, unless expressly stated otherwise or prohibited by applicable law.

31.7 Policies and Specific Subject Matters

Where AKBSTOCK maintains a dedicated policy for a particular subject matter, that policy shall govern the detailed procedures and rules relating to that subject matter within its stated scope.

For example, privacy matters may be governed in greater detail by the Privacy Policy, refund matters by the Refund & Cancellation Policy, copyright matters by the Copyright Policy, and licensing matters by the applicable License Agreement.

These Terms should therefore be read together with the relevant dedicated legal documents where applicable.

31.8 Website Content and General Information

General Website content, promotional descriptions, marketing materials, educational information, guides and other informational materials do not independently modify these Terms or an applicable License Agreement unless AKBSTOCK expressly identifies such material as forming part of the applicable contractual terms.

Product-specific information expressly presented as part of a transaction may nevertheless form part of that transaction where required by applicable law.

31.9 Customer Support Communications

Routine customer support communications are intended to assist Customers with questions, technical matters and administrative issues.

Such communications do not amend these Terms, expand a Product license or create additional contractual rights unless the communication expressly records an authorized agreement or modification made in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

31.10 Prior Discussions and Understandings

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the applicable legal documents governing a transaction supersede prior discussions, representations, negotiations or understandings concerning the same subject matter where those earlier matters are inconsistent with the final applicable agreement.

Nothing in this provision excludes any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights arising from fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or other mandatory legal protections.

31.11 No Informal Modification

No informal conversation, social media communication, customer support message or other casual communication shall modify these Terms or an applicable License Agreement unless the modification is expressly authorized by AKBSTOCK and satisfies any applicable legal or contractual requirements.

This provision is intended to prevent uncertainty regarding the terms governing Products, licenses and services.

31.12 Electronic Agreements and Records

The contractual framework between AKBSTOCK and its Customers may be formed, accepted, maintained and evidenced electronically, subject to applicable law.

Electronic transaction records, Account records, order confirmations, acceptance records and applicable versions of legal documents may be used to establish the terms governing a particular transaction or relationship.

31.13 No Expansion of Rights by Silence

The absence of a particular restriction or permission from one general Website page, description or communication shall not by itself expand the rights granted under an applicable License Agreement or other governing legal document.

Customer rights relating to a Product shall be determined from the applicable contractual and licensing terms read as a whole.

31.14 Mandatory Legal Rights Preserved

Nothing in this Entire Agreement provision is intended to exclude, restrict or override any statutory, consumer or other legal right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Where mandatory law applies notwithstanding any contractual provision, that law shall prevail to the extent required.

31.15 Continuing Effect of Applicable Documents

The expiration, cancellation or termination of one service or relationship does not automatically extinguish provisions of an applicable legal document that are intended by their nature to continue after such event.

Existing license rights, payment obligations, intellectual property protections, restrictions, liability provisions and other continuing obligations shall remain effective to the extent provided by the applicable legal documents and law.

31.16 Final Interpretation

These Terms are intended to operate as part of a coordinated legal framework rather than as an isolated document.

They shall therefore be interpreted together with the legal documents applicable to the relevant Customer, Product, license, service or transaction, while preserving the specific purpose and scope of each document.

Nothing in this Section shall create rights beyond those granted under the applicable agreement or remove rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

32. Severability

32.1 Purpose

This Section is intended to preserve the validity and enforceability of these Terms where any individual provision, or part of a provision, is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable.

The invalidity or unenforceability of one provision shall not automatically affect the remaining provisions of these Terms.

32.2 Invalid or Unenforceable Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court, tribunal or other competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that determination shall apply only to the affected provision or the affected part of that provision to the extent required by applicable law.

The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

32.3 Partial Invalidity

Where only part of a provision is invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the unaffected part of that provision shall remain effective wherever it can reasonably and lawfully operate independently.

Only the minimum portion necessary shall be disregarded, restricted or otherwise treated as unenforceable.

32.4 Interpretation Where Possible

Where permitted by applicable law, an affected provision should be interpreted in a lawful and enforceable manner that most closely reflects its original purpose and commercial intent.

Such interpretation shall not be used to create obligations or restrictions materially different from those reasonably contemplated by the original provision.

32.5 Preservation of Remaining Terms

The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision shall not invalidate these Terms as a whole.

All unaffected provisions shall remain binding and enforceable according to their terms, subject to applicable law.

32.6 Effect on Related Legal Documents

A determination that a provision of these Terms is invalid, unlawful or unenforceable shall not automatically invalidate a separate provision contained in another AKBSTOCK legal document.

Each applicable License Agreement, policy or other legal document shall be interpreted according to its own provisions, purpose and applicable law.

32.7 Mandatory Law

Where applicable law requires a provision to be limited, modified, disregarded or interpreted in a particular manner in order to remain lawful or enforceable, the provision shall operate only to the extent permitted by that law.

Nothing in this Section shall override any mandatory right or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

32.8 Essential Provisions

Where an invalid or unenforceable provision is fundamental to a particular transaction, license or contractual arrangement and cannot reasonably be separated from that arrangement, the legal effect shall be determined in accordance with the applicable law and the relevant legal documents.

This Section shall not require the enforcement of an arrangement that cannot lawfully or reasonably continue without the affected provision.

32.9 No Automatic Waiver

The invalidity or unenforceability of one provision shall not constitute a waiver of any other right, restriction, obligation or remedy available to AKBSTOCK or the Customer under these Terms, any applicable legal document or applicable law.

32.10 Continuing Effect

These Terms are intended to remain effective to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law even where one or more individual provisions require limitation or cannot be enforced in a particular circumstance.

The enforceability of the remaining Terms shall therefore be preserved wherever legally possible.

32.11 Final Provision

This Severability Section shall be interpreted with the objective of preserving the lawful operation, intended structure and continuing effectiveness of these Terms.

Where any provision cannot lawfully be enforced as written, only the affected provision or necessary portion shall be impacted, while the remainder of these Terms shall continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

33. No Waiver

33.1 Purpose

This Section explains that a failure or delay by AKBSTOCK or a Customer to exercise or enforce any right, remedy, power or provision under these Terms shall not automatically constitute a waiver of that right, remedy, power or provision.

The purpose of this Section is to preserve applicable contractual rights even where they are not immediately exercised or enforced.

33.2 Failure or Delay to Enforce

A failure or delay by AKBSTOCK to enforce any provision of these Terms, an applicable License Agreement or another applicable legal document shall not by itself constitute a waiver of that provision or of any related right or remedy.

The same principle shall apply to rights available to a Customer under the applicable contractual framework.

33.3 Single or Partial Exercise of Rights

The single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall not prevent the further exercise of that right, power or remedy where permitted by these Terms and applicable law.

Exercise of one available remedy shall not automatically prevent the exercise of another available remedy unless otherwise required by applicable law.

33.4 Waiver in a Particular Instance

Where AKBSTOCK chooses not to enforce a particular provision in a specific instance, that decision shall apply only to that particular circumstance unless AKBSTOCK expressly states otherwise.

Such a decision shall not automatically create a general practice, continuing permission or permanent waiver applicable to future conduct.

33.5 No Waiver From Courtesy or Assistance

Customer support, goodwill assistance, technical help, extensions, accommodations or other reasonable assistance provided by AKBSTOCK shall not by themselves modify these Terms or constitute a waiver of any applicable right, restriction or obligation.

AKBSTOCK may provide reasonable assistance without losing the ability to enforce the applicable legal terms in the future.

33.6 No Waiver From Previous Conduct

The fact that AKBSTOCK may previously have permitted, overlooked or not immediately acted upon particular conduct shall not create a continuing right to repeat that conduct.

AKBSTOCK may subsequently enforce the applicable Terms, License Agreements, policies or restrictions, subject to applicable law.

33.7 Written Waiver

Where AKBSTOCK expressly agrees to waive a contractual right or requirement, such waiver should be clearly stated in writing by an authorized representative of AKBSTOCK.

Any express waiver shall be interpreted according to its stated scope and shall not extend beyond the matter for which it was given unless expressly stated otherwise.

33.8 Waiver of One Provision Does Not Waive Others

A waiver relating to one provision, obligation, breach or circumstance shall not automatically constitute a waiver of any other provision, obligation, breach or circumstance.

Each matter may be considered and enforced independently according to the applicable legal documents and law.

33.9 Repeated or Continuing Breaches

A waiver or decision not to act in relation to one breach shall not automatically waive any subsequent, repeated or continuing breach of the same or another provision.

AKBSTOCK may take appropriate action in relation to future or continuing violations in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.

33.10 Preservation of Rights and Remedies

Except where expressly stated otherwise, the rights and remedies available under these Terms are intended to operate together with any rights and remedies available under applicable License Agreements, other governing legal documents and applicable law.

The exercise or non-exercise of one right or remedy shall not automatically extinguish another right or remedy.

33.11 Mandatory Rights Preserved

Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted as requiring a Customer to waive any statutory, consumer or other legal right that cannot lawfully be waived, excluded or restricted.

Any mandatory rights available under applicable law shall remain unaffected.

33.12 Final Provision

No failure, delay, tolerance, assistance or isolated decision concerning enforcement shall by itself permanently alter the contractual rights or obligations established under these Terms.

Any waiver shall be limited to its intended scope, and all other applicable rights, obligations and remedies shall remain effective to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

34. Assignment

34.1 Purpose

This Section explains the circumstances in which rights, obligations or contractual interests arising under these Terms may be assigned, transferred or otherwise dealt with by AKBSTOCK or a Customer.

Its purpose is to preserve contractual certainty and prevent unauthorized transfers of Accounts, licenses, subscriptions or other rights associated with AKBSTOCK.

34.2 Assignment by AKBSTOCK

Subject to applicable law, AKBSTOCK may assign, transfer or otherwise deal with its rights or obligations under these Terms where reasonably necessary in connection with the lawful operation, restructuring or transfer of its business.

Any such assignment or transfer shall remain subject to applicable legal requirements and shall not remove mandatory rights available to Customers under applicable law.

34.3 Business Restructuring

An assignment or transfer by AKBSTOCK may occur in connection with circumstances including:

• Business restructuring.

• Reorganization.

• Merger or consolidation.

• Acquisition.

• Sale or transfer of all or part of the business or relevant assets.

• Transfer to a successor entity.

• Change in the legal structure through which AKBSTOCK operates.

• Other legitimate business arrangements permitted by applicable law.

34.4 Successor Entity

Where AKBSTOCK lawfully transfers relevant rights or obligations to a successor or acquiring entity, that entity may assume and exercise those rights and obligations to the extent provided by the applicable transaction and law.

References to AKBSTOCK in the applicable legal documents may, where legally appropriate, include such lawful successor in relation to the transferred rights or obligations.

34.5 Protection of Existing Customer Rights

An assignment, restructuring, merger, acquisition or other business transfer by AKBSTOCK shall not by itself cancel or remove license rights that were validly granted to a Customer before the transfer.

Existing Customer rights and obligations shall continue according to the applicable License Agreement, contractual terms and applicable law.

34.6 Assignment by Customers

Customers may not assign, transfer, sell, sublicense or otherwise dispose of their rights or obligations under these Terms to another person or entity without prior written permission from AKBSTOCK, except where such transfer is expressly permitted by an applicable legal document or required by applicable law.

Any attempted unauthorized assignment or transfer may be treated as ineffective to the extent permitted by applicable law.

34.7 Product Licenses

The purchase or download of a Product does not automatically give the Customer the right to transfer, sell, assign or sublicense the underlying Product license to another person or entity.

Transferability of a Product license shall be determined exclusively by the applicable License Agreement and applicable law.

Nothing in this Section expands the license rights granted with any Product.

34.8 Accounts

A Customer Account is intended for the person or entity for whom it was created and may not be sold, assigned or transferred to another person or entity except where expressly authorized by AKBSTOCK or permitted under the applicable legal framework.

Changes to authorized personnel acting on behalf of a business Customer shall not necessarily constitute an assignment of the business Customer’s Account, provided that the Account remains under the control of the same legal entity and all applicable Account requirements are followed.

34.9 Subscription Rights

A Subscription Plan and the rights associated with it may not be transferred, resold or assigned to another person or entity unless expressly permitted under the applicable Subscription Agreement or authorized in writing by AKBSTOCK.

Detailed rules concerning Subscription eligibility, access, billing and use remain governed by the applicable Subscription Agreement.

34.10 Corporate and Organizational Customers

Where a Customer is a company, partnership, organization or other legal entity, internal changes involving employees, representatives or authorized users do not automatically transfer the contractual rights of that Customer to those individuals.

The relevant rights remain with the legal entity that entered into the applicable transaction unless a lawful assignment or transfer occurs.

34.11 Unauthorized Transfers

AKBSTOCK may refuse to recognize an assignment or transfer that is inconsistent with these Terms, an applicable License Agreement or other governing legal document.

An unauthorized transfer shall not create additional rights for the recipient or expand the rights originally granted to the Customer.

Any related action by AKBSTOCK shall remain subject to these Terms and applicable law.

34.12 Assignment Does Not Expand Rights

Where an assignment or transfer is lawfully permitted, the recipient shall acquire only those rights that were validly transferable.

An assignment shall not create broader licensing rights, additional permissions or greater contractual benefits than those lawfully available under the original applicable agreement.

34.13 Continuing Obligations

An assignment or transfer shall not automatically extinguish obligations, liabilities or restrictions that arose before the effective transfer where those matters are intended or required to continue.

Their continuing effect shall be determined by the applicable legal documents and applicable law.

34.14 Notice of Material Transfer

Where required by applicable law or reasonably appropriate in the circumstances, AKBSTOCK may provide notice of a material business transfer or assignment that significantly affects the contractual relationship with Customers.

Such notice may be provided through the Website, Customer Account, email or another appropriate communication method.

34.15 Mandatory Rights Preserved

Nothing in this Section shall authorize an assignment or transfer that is prohibited by applicable law.

Any statutory, consumer, contractual or other mandatory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted shall remain unaffected.

34.16 Final Provision

Assignment under these Terms shall be permitted only within the boundaries established by the applicable legal documents and applicable law.

AKBSTOCK may preserve legitimate business continuity through lawful assignments or transfers, while Customers may transfer their contractual or licensing rights only where such transfer is expressly permitted or lawfully authorized.

No assignment or transfer shall by itself create rights greater than those originally granted under the applicable legal framework.

35. Force Majeure

35.1 Purpose

This Section addresses circumstances beyond the reasonable control of a party that may prevent, delay or materially interfere with the performance of obligations under these Terms.

Its purpose is to provide a reasonable framework for extraordinary events that could not reasonably have been prevented or overcome through appropriate measures.

35.2 Force Majeure Events

A Force Majeure Event may include an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the affected party that prevents, delays or materially interferes with the performance of an applicable obligation.

Whether a particular event qualifies shall depend upon the circumstances, the affected obligation and applicable law.

35.3 Examples of Force Majeure Events

Subject to the circumstances, Force Majeure Events may include:

• Natural disasters, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, severe storms or other extreme natural events.

• Fire or other major physical disasters.

• Epidemics, pandemics or public-health emergencies.

• War, armed conflict, terrorism, civil unrest or similar major disturbances.

• Government restrictions, embargoes, sanctions or legally binding governmental actions.

• Major failures of electricity, telecommunications, internet or essential infrastructure.

• Widespread failures affecting hosting, cloud infrastructure, payment networks or other critical third-party systems.

• Serious cyberattacks or widespread cybersecurity incidents beyond the reasonable control of the affected party.

• Strikes, lockouts or major industrial disruptions not reasonably within the affected party’s control.

• Other comparable events that could not reasonably have been prevented or overcome.

35.4 Events Must Be Beyond Reasonable Control

An event shall not qualify as Force Majeure merely because performance becomes inconvenient, more expensive or commercially undesirable.

The event must be beyond the reasonable control of the affected party and must materially affect the performance of the relevant obligation.

Ordinary operational difficulties that could reasonably have been prevented or managed shall not automatically constitute Force Majeure.

35.5 Effect on Performance

Where a Force Majeure Event directly prevents or delays performance of an obligation, the affected obligation may be suspended or delayed for the period during which performance is reasonably prevented or materially affected.

Only obligations actually affected by the Force Majeure Event shall receive the benefit of this provision.

35.6 No Automatic Cancellation

The occurrence of a Force Majeure Event shall not automatically cancel these Terms, an Account, a completed transaction, a Product license or another applicable agreement.

The legal effect of the event shall depend upon its nature, duration, the obligations affected and the applicable legal documents.

35.7 Temporary Website or Service Disruption

Where a Force Majeure Event temporarily disrupts the Website, digital delivery systems, Account access or other AKBSTOCK services, AKBSTOCK shall make reasonable efforts to restore affected services when reasonably practicable.

Temporary disruption shall not by itself invalidate a completed transaction or a lawfully granted Product license.

35.8 Third-Party Infrastructure

AKBSTOCK may depend upon third-party infrastructure such as hosting providers, payment networks, internet services, communication systems and other technology providers.

A major failure affecting such infrastructure may constitute a Force Majeure Event where the failure is beyond AKBSTOCK’s reasonable control and materially prevents or delays performance.

Ordinary third-party service issues shall not automatically qualify as Force Majeure.

35.9 Cybersecurity Events

35.10 Government and Legal Restrictions

A new law, governmental restriction, legally binding order, sanction, embargo or similar official measure may affect AKBSTOCK’s ability to provide a Product, service, payment method or other Platform functionality.

Where compliance with such a measure prevents or delays performance, the affected obligation may be modified, suspended or discontinued to the extent reasonably necessary and legally permitted.

35.11 Payment System Disruptions

AKBSTOCK shall not be considered in breach merely because a payment, settlement or refund is temporarily delayed by a widespread banking, payment-network or payment-provider disruption beyond its reasonable control.

AKBSTOCK shall make reasonable efforts to process or facilitate the affected transaction once the relevant systems become reasonably available.

Any mandatory payment or refund rights under applicable law remain unaffected.

35.12 Duty to Mitigate

A party relying upon a Force Majeure Event should take reasonable steps, where practicable, to reduce the effect of the event and resume performance.

No party shall be required to take unlawful, unsafe or commercially unreasonable measures merely to avoid the operation of this Section.

35.13 Notice Where Reasonably Practicable

Where a Force Majeure Event materially affects AKBSTOCK services for a significant period and communication remains reasonably practicable, AKBSTOCK may provide appropriate information or notice through the Website, Customer Accounts, email or another suitable communication method.

Failure to provide immediate notice shall not by itself invalidate a genuine Force Majeure Event where communication was impracticable or materially disrupted.

35.14 Resumption of Performance

When the Force Majeure Event no longer prevents performance, the affected party should resume the relevant obligations within a reasonable period where performance remains possible and appropriate.

Temporary suspension under this Section shall not continue longer than reasonably necessary because of the relevant Force Majeure Event.

35.15 Prolonged Force Majeure

Where a Force Majeure Event continues for an extended period and materially prevents an affected service or obligation from being performed, AKBSTOCK may take reasonable steps concerning the affected service, transaction or contractual arrangement.

Such steps may include modification, suspension or discontinuation where continued performance has become legally, technically or reasonably impracticable.

Any resulting Customer rights or remedies shall remain subject to the applicable legal documents and applicable law.

35.16 Existing Product Licenses

A Force Majeure Event shall not by itself revoke a Product license that was validly granted before the event.

The continuing rights associated with a previously obtained Product shall remain governed by the applicable License Agreement and applicable law.

35.17 Completed Transactions

A Force Majeure Event shall not automatically reverse or invalidate a transaction that was lawfully completed before the event.

Where performance relating to a completed transaction remains outstanding and becomes materially affected, the matter shall be handled according to the circumstances, the applicable AKBSTOCK legal documents and applicable law.

35.18 Payment Obligations

Force Majeure shall not automatically excuse a payment obligation that became due for a Product or service already properly supplied before the Force Majeure Event.

Where the payment itself cannot reasonably be processed because of the event, performance may be delayed until the relevant payment systems become reasonably available, subject to applicable law.

35.19 No Excuse for Prior Breach

A Force Majeure Event shall not excuse a breach, violation or liability that arose before the Force Majeure Event and was unrelated to that event.

The affected party may rely upon this Section only to the extent that the event actually prevents, delays or materially interferes with the relevant performance.

35.20 No Automatic Exclusion of Liability

The existence of a Force Majeure Event does not automatically exclude every form of liability.

Any limitation or exclusion shall apply only to the extent that the relevant failure or delay was caused by the Force Majeure Event and only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 26 — Limitation of Liability shall continue to apply where relevant.

35.21 Mandatory Customer Rights

Nothing in this Section is intended to exclude, restrict or delay any statutory, consumer or other legal right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or delayed.

Where applicable law requires a particular remedy despite a Force Majeure Event, the applicable legal requirement shall prevail.

35.22 Relationship With Other Legal Documents

This Section shall be read together with the applicable License Agreements, Refund & Cancellation Policy, Subscription Agreement, Limitation of Liability provisions and other relevant AKBSTOCK legal documents.

Where a specific agreement contains additional Force Majeure provisions applicable to a particular service, license or transaction, those provisions shall apply within their stated scope together with these Terms.

35.23 Final Provision

AKBSTOCK intends this Force Majeure provision to address genuine extraordinary circumstances beyond reasonable control and not to excuse avoidable failures, ordinary operational difficulties or existing contractual breaches.

The effect of any Force Majeure Event shall therefore be determined reasonably, proportionately and according to the actual impact of the event, the applicable legal documents and applicable law.
