Last updated: 1/3/23

Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”, “Terms of Use”) carefully before using the Lone Star Studios and Lone Star Society website, www.lonestarstudios.com, (the “Service”) operated by Lone Star Studios LLC (“us”, “we”, or “our”).

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms then you may not access the Service.

Accounts

When you create an account with us, you must provide us information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account on our Service.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password, whether your password is with our Service or a third-party service.

You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

Incomplete registrations or partial registrations with incomplete or missing fields will not be approved and get deleted. Registrations with false information will also not be approved and get deleted.

To reduce bots, spam, and fraudulent accounts on the site, any account that has limited information provided, which appears to be false, and no activity within 14 days of account creation will get suspended or deleted. If you think your account was suspended by mistake, let us know using the support page and we will reactivate your account, once you verify that it is a real account for a real person. If your account is deleted instead of suspended, then you will simply have to create a new account.

Your registration for an account on our website must first be approved before your account is activated. You are not guaranteed or entitled to an approved registration or account on our site. When you register for an account, you must provide accurate, complete information into every available field. Approval is primarily intended to prevent spam/fake accounts, but could also be used to filter out accounts for other reasons we deem beneficial or necessary to the site. Most accounts should get approved within 2-3 business days, but we reserve the right to take as long as we require to approve any and all accounts without notice. If you created an account prior to January 2023, your account has been safely and securely deleted. You’re welcome to create a new one.
