1. General Provisions
These Terms & Conditions govern the use of the UNSTAGED website and platform, including its editorial content, art anthologies, independent publications, visual research materials, and related projects.
UNSTAGED is an independent publishing and visual research platform focused on authenticity, visual arts, and contemporary artistic practices.
By accessing this website, you agree to comply with these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please refrain from using the website.
These Terms & Conditions apply to the use of the UNSTAGED website. Purchases made through third-party sales platforms are subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant platform, as described below.
2. Publications, Orders & Fulfillment
UNSTAGED publications may be produced and distributed through third-party print-on-demand and distribution partners.
Books and other publications presented on this website may be available for purchase through external sales platforms, including Peecho.
Where a purchase is completed through a third-party platform, that platform is responsible for the applicable ordering process, payment processing, order fulfillment, shipping, and customer service, in accordance with its own terms and policies.
UNSTAGED does not directly process payments or independently fulfill orders placed through such third-party platforms, unless expressly stated otherwise.
Publication availability, prices, shipping costs, estimated delivery times, and applicable purchase conditions are determined by the relevant sales platform and are presented to customers during the purchase process.
International orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, or other charges imposed by the destination country. Such charges, where applicable, are the responsibility of the recipient, unless otherwise stated by the relevant sales platform.
Print-on-demand production may involve minor variations in colour reproduction, trimming, paper texture, and other physical characteristics inherent to the printing process.
3. Intellectual Property & Copyright
All content published on the UNSTAGED website and within its publications, including but not limited to text, editorial concepts, layouts, typography, book design, graphic elements, logos, photographs, and other visual materials, is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Unless otherwise stated, the UNSTAGED name, logo, editorial materials, and original design elements are the property of UNSTAGED or are used under appropriate permission.
Photographic works and other artistic contributions remain the intellectual property of their respective creators.
UNSTAGED publishes and presents selected works under permissions and licences granted by contributing artists or other rights holders, where applicable.
Unless expressly permitted in writing, no content from this website or UNSTAGED publications may be reproduced, republished, distributed, modified, publicly displayed, or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission from the relevant rights holder.
The purchase of a publication does not transfer copyright or other intellectual property rights in the artistic works reproduced within it.

Use the website in a manner that infringes the rights of UNSTAGED, its contributors, or third parties.

5. Third-Party Platforms & Services
UNSTAGED may link to or make use of third-party services, including print-on-demand providers, distributors, payment platforms, hosting providers, and other external services.
These third-party services operate independently of UNSTAGED and may be governed by their own terms, privacy policies, and conditions.
UNSTAGED is not responsible for the independent operation, availability, policies, or services of third-party platforms, except to the extent required by applicable law.
Any purchase made through an external sales platform is subject to the contractual terms applicable to that transaction.
For questions regarding an order, payment, shipping, or delivery, customers should contact the relevant sales platform through its designated customer service channels.
6. Editorial Content & Artistic Contributions
UNSTAGED presents and publishes artistic works, projects, and editorial materials contributed by independent artists and collaborators.
While UNSTAGED seeks to maintain appropriate editorial and publishing standards, the views, interpretations, and artistic statements expressed in individual contributions belong to their respective creators.
The publication of a work or project does not necessarily imply that UNSTAGED endorses every opinion, interpretation, or position expressed by its creator.
UNSTAGED may make editorial, design, formatting, or presentation decisions in connection with its publications and website.
