Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, listening to, or interacting with DISSCO ("the Platform"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our companion Privacy Policy. If you do not accept these terms in their entirety, you should discontinue use of the platform immediately.

2. Intellectual Property & Artist Rights Sovereignty

DISSCO is fundamentally dedicated to the defense and respect of creative intellectual property:

• Artist Copyright: All artworks, illustrations, photographs, generative code, musical compositions, audio stems, 3D models, architectural renderings, and cinema films exhibited on DISSCO remain the exclusive intellectual property and copyright of their respective creators and licensors.
• Platform Branding: The DISSCO name, emblem, custom logos, visual design system, code architecture, and editorial essays are protected by copyright, trademark, and trade dress laws.
• No Scraping or AI Ingestion: Automated data extraction, scraping, harvesting, or bulk cloning of artworks or media files for training machine-learning algorithms or commercial datasets without explicit written authorization from the artist and DISSCO is strictly prohibited.

3. Sound Stems & Interactive Audio Tools

Where audio stems, sound presets, or downloadable packs are made available in our Sound Studio:

• Unless otherwise designated (e.g. Creative Commons Zero or public domain samples), stems are provided for personal listening, remix exploration, or non-commercial private study.
• Commercial synchronization (film, television, advertising) requires a distinct sync license agreement arranged through our curatorial desk (hello@disco.art).

4. Ticketing & Box Office Conditions

When purchasing event admissions or sensory exhibition passes through DISSCO:

• Digital QR Passes: Each pass is non-transferable unless expressly re-assigned through official customer support at least 24 hours prior to the event start time.
• Sensory Warnings: Certain installations may involve strobe lighting, extreme darkness, high-decibel sub-frequencies, or spatial disorientation. Attendees are responsible for reviewing exhibition advisory notices.
• Cancellations & Refunds: In the event an exhibition is postponed or cancelled by DISSCO, pass holders will receive a 100% refund to their original payment method or full credit toward future events. Voluntary attendee cancellations requested 7 days or more prior to the event date are eligible for full refund less standard payment gateway processing fees.
