Legal
Terms & Conditions.
Effective from 12 May 2026.
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Create Beyond. They form a binding agreement between you ("Member" or "you") and CREATE BEYOND®, a sole proprietorship of Matthias Dangl, Josef-Orlopp-Straße 54, 10365 Berlin, Germany ("we", "us", or "Create Beyond"). By creating an account or purchasing a subscription you confirm that you have read, understood, and accept these Terms.
1. Scope and Subject Matter
These Terms apply to the use of the website at createbeyond.io, the membership platform at app.createbeyond.io, the Create Beyond community, the PIXEL marketplace, and any related digital content and services we make available (together, the "Service").
The Service is directed at consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB and at entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB. Provisions that apply only to one of these groups are marked accordingly. Deviating, conflicting, or supplementary general terms and conditions of the Member only become part of the contract if we have expressly agreed to them in writing.
2. Conclusion of the Contract
The presentation of the Service on our website does not constitute a legally binding offer. By submitting the checkout form and confirming payment, you make a binding offer to enter into a subscription agreement. We accept that offer either by sending an order confirmation by email or by activating your access to the Service, whichever happens first.
You can correct typing errors at any time during the checkout process by using the standard browser controls. The contract language is English. The text of the contract is not stored separately by us beyond what is required by law; we recommend that you save the order confirmation email for your records.
3. The Service
Create Beyond is an online learning and community platform for creators. The Service typically includes, depending on your subscription plan:
- access to a growing library of pre-recorded video courses and lessons;
- access to community spaces, discussion threads, and member-to-member feedback;
- downloadable digital content such as templates, LUTs, and presets;
- the PIXEL credit system and the partner-brand marketplace;
- access to AI tools and integrations we make available to members;
- live calls, Q&A sessions, and similar member events, where offered.
The exact scope of the Service evolves over time. We may add, remove, or modify courses, features, partner offers, and integrations to keep the Service current and to reflect changes in technology, licensing, or the creator industry. Where a change materially reduces the contractual value of the Service, you may terminate your subscription with effect from the date of the change in accordance with section 13.
4. Pricing and Payment
Prices and payment terms are set out at checkout and in our Payment & Refund Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms. Subscriptions are billed in advance for each billing period (monthly or yearly) and renew automatically unless cancelled before the end of the current period.
If a payment fails or is reversed without justification, we may restrict or suspend access to the Service until the outstanding amount has been paid. Where you are in default of payment, we are entitled to charge default interest at the statutory rate.
5. Right of Withdrawal and Money-Back Guarantee
Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days from the day the contract is concluded. The conditions for exercising this right, the consequences of withdrawal, and the cases in which the right lapses for digital content (in particular under § 356 (5) BGB) are explained in detail in our Payment & Refund Policy.
In addition to your statutory rights, we voluntarily offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions, subject to the conditions described in the Payment & Refund Policy.
6. Accounts and Eligibility
To use most parts of the Service you need to create a personal account. You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to create an account. By creating an account you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you will keep it up to date.
Each account is for personal use by a single individual. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for any activity carried out under your account. Notify us at support@createbeyond.io as soon as you become aware of any unauthorised access.
7. Licence to Use the Content
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and to ongoing payment of the applicable subscription fee, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Service and the content made available to you for your own learning and creative work.
Unless we expressly say otherwise for a particular piece of content (for example a template explicitly released for client work), you may not:
- download, record, or capture course videos or other streamed content;
- share, sell, lend, sub-licence, publish, or otherwise make the content available to third parties;
- use the content to build a competing course, training, or membership offering;
- remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice;
- reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source materials of the Service.
This licence ends automatically when your subscription ends or these Terms are terminated, except in respect of digital files that we have expressly allowed you to keep.
8. PIXEL Credits and the Marketplace
PIXEL credits are an in-platform reward unit. They are earned by completing lessons, challenges, and other activities defined in the Service, and they can be redeemed for rewards in the marketplace, such as discounts, digital products, or partner goods. PIXEL credits:
- have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred between accounts, or refunded;
- may expire after extended account inactivity, as indicated in the platform;
- are forfeited when an account is closed or terminated;
- can be adjusted or revoked in cases of fraud, abuse, or technical error.
Marketplace rewards are subject to availability. Where a reward is fulfilled by a partner brand or third party, the partner's own terms apply in addition to these Terms. Taxes, customs duties, and shipping charges, where they arise from a physical reward, are the responsibility of the recipient unless we explicitly state otherwise at the time of redemption.
9. Member Conduct
You agree to use the Service responsibly and lawfully. In particular, you will not:
- share account credentials, allow others to use your account, or use someone else's account;
- upload, share, or distribute content that is illegal, infringing, hateful, harassing, sexually exploitative, or otherwise harmful;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or organisation;
- use the Service to send spam or unsolicited marketing to other Members;
- interfere with the technical operation of the Service, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or probe for vulnerabilities without our prior written consent;
- use bots, scrapers, or other automated means to access or extract content beyond what is permitted by published interfaces.
We may remove content, restrict features, suspend, or terminate access where we have a justified reason to believe these rules have been broken. For material breaches, termination may be immediate and without refund of paid amounts, subject to mandatory consumer-protection law.
10. Member Submissions
When you post content to the community or otherwise submit material through the Service ("Member Submissions"), you retain ownership of that content. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute the Member Submission within the Service for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving Create Beyond. This licence lasts for as long as your content remains on the platform and ends when you delete the content, except to the extent backups must be retained for a limited period or copies have already been shared lawfully with other Members.
You are solely responsible for your Member Submissions and confirm that you have the necessary rights and consents to share them. You agree not to submit content that infringes third-party rights or violates section 9.
11. Intellectual Property
All rights in the Service, the underlying software, the course videos, written materials, templates, LUTs, presets, brand assets, and the CREATE BEYOND® trademark are owned by us or by our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you beyond the limited licence in section 7.
12. Third-Party Services and Partner Offers
The Service may link to, integrate with, or include offers from third parties (such as Adobe, partner brands, payment processors, video hosts, and AI tool vendors). Those third parties are independent of Create Beyond, and your use of their services is governed by their own terms and privacy notices. We do not warrant the availability, quality, or accuracy of third-party offerings, and we are not a party to any separate contract you enter into with a third party through the Service.
13. Availability, Maintenance, and Changes
We aim to keep the Service available on a continuous basis but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance windows, technical incidents, and changes by third-party providers may cause temporary interruptions. Where reasonably possible, we will give advance notice of planned maintenance.
We may modify the Service, including the content of the course library and the features available, to keep the product current. Where a modification materially reduces the contractual value of the Service for you, we will inform you in advance, and you may terminate your subscription with effect from the date the change takes effect. Modifications that are required by law or that do not negatively affect you may be made without prior notice.
14. Warranty and Liability
We are liable in accordance with the statutory provisions for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, for damages based on intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by us, our legal representatives, or our agents, for damages based on the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) - limited, in cases of slight negligence, to the typically foreseeable damage - and in cases of liability under mandatory statutory provisions, in particular the German Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG).
Any further liability is excluded. The statutory liability of the seller for defects in digital products in accordance with §§ 327 et seq. BGB remains unaffected.
Create Beyond provides educational content. We make no representation or warranty that you will achieve any specific business, income, audience, or career outcome. Results depend on many factors that are outside our control, including your effort, market conditions, and individual circumstances.
15. Indemnity (Entrepreneurs Only)
If you use the Service in the course of your business or professional activity (i.e. you are an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB), you agree to indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your culpable breach of these Terms or from content you have submitted, including reasonable costs of legal defence. This section does not apply to consumers.
16. Data Protection
How we handle your personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.
17. Term and Termination
The subscription runs for the period selected at checkout and renews automatically for further periods of the same length unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time, with effect from the end of the then-current billing period, from your account dashboard or by contacting support@createbeyond.io.
Both parties may terminate the agreement for cause without notice if the other party seriously breaches its obligations and, where applicable, fails to remedy the breach within a reasonable period after being warned. On termination, your access to the Service ends and the licence granted in section 7 ends automatically.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may amend these Terms to reflect changes in our Service or in applicable law. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the platform at least six weeks before they take effect. If you do not agree to a change, you may terminate your subscription with effect from the date the change takes effect. If you do not terminate within the notice period and continue to use the Service after the change has taken effect, the amended Terms are deemed accepted. Changes that do not adversely affect you may be made without prior notice.
19. Dispute Resolution and Final Provisions
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers habitually resident in the EU, this choice of law does not deprive them of the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of their country of residence.
Place of jurisdiction for disputes with merchants, legal persons under public law, or special public funds is Berlin, provided this is permissible by law. The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected. The parties will replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that comes closest to its economic purpose.
