Terms of Service

Last updated 15 November 2026

These terms govern your use of the Hype Studios website at hypestudios.cloud and the Hype Studios media portal (the password-protected client galleries at hypestudios.cloud/portal/…), together the "Service". By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

The media portal

The media portal is provided by Hype Studios ("Hype Studios", "we", "us") so we can deliver photos, video and other files to our clients. Access is by invitation only, through a share link and password we issue. Any agreement, quote or production contract between you and Hype Studios takes precedence over these terms where the two conflict.

Share links and passwords

Share links and their passwords are confidential. Keep them private and only share them with people you are authorised to share the content with. You are responsible for activity that happens through a link we issued to you.

Links may expire, and we may revoke a link or change its password at any time — for example at the end of a project, or if we believe a link has been shared beyond its intended audience. Let us know straight away if you think a link or password has been compromised.

Ownership and use of content

Unless your agreement with us says otherwise, Hype Studios retains copyright and all other rights in the content made available through the portal. You may download and use content only as permitted by your agreement with us. You may not resell, sublicense, publicly redistribute or alter content beyond that scope without our written permission.

The Hype Studios name, logo and website content are our property and may not be used without permission.

Acceptable use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

  • attempt to access galleries, files or admin areas you haven't been given access to, including by guessing links or passwords;
  • interfere with, overload, scrape or probe the Service or its security measures;
  • use the Service for anything unlawful.

We may suspend access for anyone who breaches these terms.

Availability

We aim to keep the Service running smoothly but don't guarantee it will always be available or error-free. Files are delivered via third-party infrastructure (including hosting, database and Google Drive providers). Please keep your own copies of anything you download — the portal is a delivery tool, not a long-term archive, and content may be removed once a project is complete.

Liability

The Service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, Hype Studios is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under applicable consumer protection law.

Privacy

How we handle information collected through the Service is described in our Privacy Policy.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms from time to time; the "last updated" date above shows when they last changed. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
