Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or purchase a membership. A parent or legal guardian may purchase a membership for a participant under 18 and is responsible for that participant’s use of the Services and compliance with these Terms.

You agree to give accurate information, keep your password confidential, and tell us promptly about any unauthorized use of your account. You are responsible for activity under your account.

AVSAS offers annual membership tiers, currently Basic Access, Studio Member, One-on-One Coaching, and Production Hours, as described on the Membership page. The benefits of each tier are described there. Access to studio space, classes, coaching sessions, production hours, and events is subject to scheduling and availability, and specific times, locations, and formats may change. Membership is personal to you and may not be shared, resold, or transferred without our written consent.

Membership gives you access to opportunities and resources. It does not guarantee casting, bookings, employment, awards, income, or any particular career result.

Memberships are annual subscriptions that renew automatically each year at the then-current price for your tier, charged to the payment method on file, until you cancel. You authorize us, through our payment processor Stripe, to charge the membership fee when you purchase and on each annual renewal date. Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude any applicable taxes. Payments are processed through the Stripe account of our affiliated company, A White Label Firm Inc., which may appear on your checkout page or receipt.

We will email you a reminder before each annual renewal. If we change the price of your tier, we will tell you in advance, and the new price will apply from your next renewal unless you cancel first.

Installment plans are available on all tiers. Contact us to arrange one; the schedule and amounts will be confirmed with you in writing before any charge.

You can cancel automatic renewal at any time online: sign in, go to the Membership page, and choose Manage / Cancel on your plan. You can also cancel by emailing info@theavsas.com from the address on your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current membership year; you keep your benefits until then and will not be charged again.

Except where the law requires otherwise, membership fees are non-refundable, including for unused time, sessions, or benefits in a membership year. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us within 30 days of the charge and we will review it promptly.

When you use AVSAS studio space, classes, events, or online community spaces, you agree to follow our posted rules and the reasonable instructions of AVSAS staff; to treat other members and staff with respect; and not to harass, discriminate against, or endanger anyone. You are responsible for any damage you cause to AVSAS property or equipment.

You also agree not to misuse the Services, including by trying to access accounts or systems without permission, disrupting the site, or using the Services for anything unlawful.

You keep ownership of the creative work you bring to or make at AVSAS, including scripts, recordings, performances, and productions, unless you and AVSAS agree otherwise in a separate written agreement signed by both parties. Using AVSAS space, equipment, coaching, or production hours does not by itself give AVSAS ownership of your work.

You grant AVSAS permission to use work you choose to submit to AVSAS programs, such as internal awards or showcases, only as needed to run those programs. We will ask for your separate permission before using your name, likeness, or work in AVSAS marketing.

The AVSAS name, logo, website, and materials are owned by AVSAS or its licensors and may not be used without our permission.

We may suspend or end your account or membership if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, fail to pay, or create a safety risk for others. If we end your membership without cause, we will refund the unused portion of your current membership year. If we end it because you broke these Terms, no refund is owed. You may close your account at any time by contacting us.

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, AVSAS disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the fullest extent the law allows, AVSAS will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, opportunities, or data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the amount you paid AVSAS in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or personal injury caused by our negligence.

You agree to indemnify and hold AVSAS harmless from claims, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Services, to the extent the law allows.

If you have a concern, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it informally. These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which AVSAS is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have as a consumer under the laws of the place where you live.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the new version here with a new “Last updated” date and notify members by email before the changes take effect. Continuing to use the Services after that means you accept the updated Terms.
