Please see Artrepreneur’s Privacy Policy for further information and direct any inquiries related to the following to Artrepreneur’s Contact Page.
Artrepreneur reserves the right to modify, alter, amend, or update the Terms at any time without notice to you in Artrepreneur’s sole discretion, and such new Terms will immediately take effect upon Artrepreneur posting such new Terms on the Platform and updating the “last updated” date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Artrepreneur makes any material changes to these Terms, Artrepreneur will use reasonable efforts to notify you in advance by sending you an email about the changes or via other messages through the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform following any changes to the Terms shall be deemed your acceptance of any and all changes to the Terms and your agreement to be bound by the most current Terms.
III) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Platform and all its contents are protected under various domestic and international copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. As between you and Artrepreneur, all right, title, and interest of any kind in and to the Platform, including, without limitation, all copyrights and intellectual property rights of any kind (excepting only Member Content which remains exclusively your property, as defined below in Section VII (Member Content)) and Artrepreneur’s name, logos, and overall brand (including the trademarks and service marks for Artrepreneur™ and its logo, Art Business Journal™, and Art Law Journal™), are entirely owned by Artrepreneur or Artrepreneur’s affiliates, licensors, vendors, and partners (collectively, “Affiliates”).
Subject to your full compliance with the Terms, Artrepreneur grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license and permission to access the Platform for the stated purposes herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in these Terms should be construed as granting, by implication or otherwise, any license or right to use the Platform, Services, Artwork, or any other materials found on the Platform without the express written permission of Artrepreneur or the applicable Affiliate or Platform user, beyond the rights to access, use, and/or view the Platform for the expressly stated purposes herein. Artrepreneur explicitly reserves all rights not specifically contemplated herein that relate to the Platform.

Artrepreneur will strive to respond quickly when Artrepreneur receives proper notice of intellectual property infringements by removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material when provided with proper notice.
IV) THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, SITES, AND MATERIALS
The Platform interoperates with several third-party site services , including, without limitation, Facebook, Google, Stripe, Escrow.com, and PayPal (collectively, “Third Party Services”), and that some of the Services provided are dependent on the availability of such Third Party Services. If at any time any Third Party Services cease to provide the availability to Artrepreneur, Artrepreneur may cease to provide such features to you without entitling you to refund, credit, or other compensation. In order to use the features of the Services related to the Third Party Services, you may be required to register for an account with such Third Party Service. In the event that any terms or policies of any Third Party Services conflict with these Terms, the terms or policies of the applicable Third Party Service will apply solely as to the use of that Third-Party Service.
You acknowledge and agree that your use of some Third Party Services is subject to your acceptance of the terms of use, privacy policy, and all other terms or policies of applicable Third Party Service. You understand Artrepreneur does not control the terms, conditions, and privacy policies offered by Third Party Services, including, without limitation, how a Third Party Service manages personal information, charges you for their services, and how and when Third-Party Services modify or amend their own terms of service, privacy policies, and other terms and policies. Artrepreneur encourages you to review all terms offered by a Third Party Service prior to using its services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to verify your ability to purchase, cancel, or obtain a refund for a Third Party Service, and Artrepreneur is not liable to you for any inability to obtain a refund from or through a Third Party Service. Your use of all Third Party Services is at your own risk and Artrepreneur is not responsible for any damages or other losses you may incur through using any Third Party Service.
The Platform may contain links to third-party content for the convenience of users, for advertising purposes, or for other functions related to Artrepreneur’s general business activities. Such links may not even be posted by Artrepreneur, but instead posted by users of the Platform. Artrepreneur, or any user, linking or embedding third-party content within the Platform does not imply an advertisement or endorsement of any good, service, product, or otherwise by Artrepreneur. Artrepreneur is not responsible for any such linked content and expressly disclaims, without limitation, any responsibility for any third-party content, the accuracy of any such information, or the quality of such products and services.
V) ACCOUNTS
To access certain features of the Platform, you may be required to register for an Account. When you register to become a Member, you will be given the option to choose between different membership types (“Member Types”). Currently, Artrepreneur offers the Member Types for the following individuals and organizations: (1) individual artists (“Artists”), (2) businesses and organizations (each, an “Organization”), and (3) buyer or other non-visual artists (collectively, “Fans”). Additionally, both Artists and Organizations can upgrade to a paid pro plan (“Pro Plan”). Each of these Member Types and Plans (defined below) may have services, functions, or features that are unique to that Member Type so please be sure to review these Terms and Artrepreneur’s Pricing page.
You may register for an Account on Artrepreneur's Signup page by establishing a username and password or by using single sign-on authentication (OAuth) via a Third Party Service. The Signup/login pages on the Platform will inform you as to what authentication may be used to create an Account and login to the Platform. Artrepreneur reserves the right to amend what authentication can be used to access the Platform at any time. You agree that all information that you submit during the Account signup process, or additional information you submit to your Account profile at any time thereafter, shall be accurate and truthful, and you agree to keep it up to date. Please review Artrepreneur’s Privacy Policy, to learn more about the information Artrepreneur collects during the Account sign-up or authentication process. As of the effective date of these Terms, Artrepreneur requires your name or professional pseudonym, email address, geographic location, and specialty when joining the Platform, however, if you are an Artist or Organization, Artrepreneur highly recommends that you upload Artwork and add relevant information to your resume, such as a personal or artistic statement, to help other Members, buyers, collectors, or potential clients and employers learn more about you and your creative process
You acknowledge that your Account is unique and personal to you, and you are responsible for maintaining the security of, and restricting access to, your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all Artwork purchases and other activities that occur under your Account. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Platform via your Account are familiar with these Terms and that they will comply with them. Artrepreneur does not have access to your password. If you no longer have access to your password, please use the “Forgot Password” link on the Account Login Screen. If you no longer have access to the email account/social media platform you used to sign up for your Account, or if you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your password, you must promptly notify Artrepreneur at Artrepreneur’s Contact Page.
In certain circumstances, you may create multiple Accounts. For example, you may want both an Artist account and an Organization account, or an account that highlights your graphic design work and another for photographic work. You shall not create excessive multiple or fake accounts, to solicit or gain an unfair advantage over other Members. If you create multiple legitimate Accounts, please note that each Account must use a unique email address. You will not be able to create multiple Accounts with the same email. You may also add multiple email addresses to any Account from your settings page.
You have the ability to delete your Account, either directly through the Platform’s settings page. You understand that upon deletion of your Account, you may lose the right to access or use all or part of the Platform or your ability to purchase Artwork.
Without limiting anything contained herein, Artrepreneur reserves the right to disable, suspend, or terminate your Account, at any time, for any reason in Artrepreneur’s sole discretion, including, without limitation, if you fail to comply with any provision of these Terms.
VI) CONTRIBUTOR RIGHTS
Artrepreneur hopes that you will agree that various collaboration and contributor features on the Platform sets Artrepreneur apart from other art-related online services. Through the contributor feature, you can invite someone – registered or otherwise – to be listed as a contributor on a piece of Artwork and Members may request another user with administrative control over a piece of Artwork to list them as a contributor to a piece of Artwork. Once the contributor accepts a contributor invitation to a piece of Artwork or you as an administrator accepts a request for someone to be a contributor for a piece of Artwork you have administrative control over, the respective Artwork will then be made available on the contributor’s Artwork page on the Platform, which, among other things, showcases the Artwork as part of the contributor’s portfolio. Once approved, a contributor will continue to have rights to display the Artwork on their Artrepreneur page even after you have terminated your Account (and for the avoidance of doubt, such Artwork will remain on the Platform subject to the terms herein). In the event that the administrator of Artwork terminates their Account, the first approved contributor to a piece of Artwork will be granted administrator status.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the administrator of a piece of Artwork can make changes to the details of the Artwork. Should a contributor want to add information or make changes to Artwork, the contributor should contact the administrator of the Artwork, or make a request to the administrator to have the administration rights in and to the Artwork on the Platform transferred to you. An administrative transfer can only occur if the administrator accepts the request and/or approves the transfer. If you own or control the copyright for Artwork and the administrator refuses to transfer administrative control of Artwork to you, the appropriate procedure is to initiate a DMCA takedown request and upload the Artwork to your Account where you will then be the administrator for the Artwork.
VII) MEMBER CONTENT
Certain features of the Platform allow Members to upload and otherwise share information and other content on the Platform (“Member Content”), including, without limitation, Artwork that you upload to your Account, other submissions and statements you make on the Platform, and certain other Account information, including your name, image, resume, and biographical materials. Visitors cannot add content, save or like artwork, contact other members or purchase artwork. As further set out in Artrepreneur’s Privacy Policy, with the exception of your email address, direct messages sent via the Platform, and other materials stored by Third Party Services, all Member Content is likely to be publicly available on the Platform. Additional information and requirements for Member Content can be found on Artrepreneur’s Community and Image Guidelines pages.
As between Artrepreneur and each Member, a Member retains all right, title, and interest in and to all ownership and other interest(s) in your Member Content, and Artrepreneur will not be deemed the owner of any Member Content, including your Artwork, subject to all licenses to Member Content contained herein. In connection with the foregoing, you grant to Artrepreneur, and its Affiliates, a non-exclusive worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, and irrevocable limited license to copy, distribute, display, transmit, store, and otherwise use your Member Content for the sole purposes of (1) Artrepreneur offering the Platform and/or providing the Services (this permits, for instance, Artrepreneur to allow Artrepreneur’s web-hosting company to host the Platform and for other users to view your Artwork and otherwise view, access, and engage on the Platform), (2) to promote your Artwork in any media (including displaying Member Content on the Platform, Artrepreneur’s social media channels, and including Member Content in Artrepreneur’s newsletters and email lists), and (3) for all other purposes specifically referenced within the Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, this includes you granting other Members and Visitors to the Platform the right and license to view your Member Content on or through the Platform. All other uses of Member Content shall be subject to your approval (email and direct messages via the Platform are deemed sufficient for such purposes).
You understand and agree that Artrepreneur uses commercially reasonable efforts to accurately display the colors of Member Content uploaded to the Platform. However, because individual computer monitors or other displays may have technical differences and/or display colors differently, you agree Artrepreneur is not responsible for any color inaccuracy of any Member Content displayed on the Platform. If you have questions regarding color accuracy, please contact Artrepreneur on Artrepreneur’s Contact Page.
VIII) FEES AND PAYMENTS
Currently, Artrepreneur offers a 1) Basic Plan, 2) Pro Artist Plan, and 3) Pro Organizations Plan (each, a “Plan”). Each Plan has different features and functionality, as well as fees, as further set forth in these Terms. A Member can upgrade or downgrade their Account at any time, subject to these Terms. Please be sure to review these Terms and Artrepreneur’s Pricing page.
Paid Plans are a subscription-based model for the fees set forth on Artrepreneur’s Plan Pricing page (“Fee”). Notwithstanding any fee currently listed on the Plan pricing page, Pro Plan Accounts activated prior to March 4, 2020, will pay nine dollars ($9.00) per month for the life of their Pro Plan membership. Please see Artrepreneur’s Pricing page for a list of features available with each Member Type. You will also find additional information and tutorials for these features in Artrepreneur’s Help Center.
In order to upgrade to a Pro Artist Plan or Pro Organizations Plan (together, the “Pro Plans”), you will have to enter a credit or debit card into your Account, which can be multiple different cards (“Payment Method”). Please note, Artrepreneur does not store your credit card on Artrepreneur’s servers or properties in accordance with Artrepreneur’s Privacy Policy. Such information will be stored and housed by Artrepreneur’s Third Party Service payment processor, presently Stripe. In connection with the same, you hereby authorize Artrepreneur’s payment processors, including Stripe, to charge the Payment Method associated with your Account for the Fee. By using the Stripe payment processing services you agree to the Stripe Terms of Service available at https://stripe.com/legal. Artrepreneur has no access to your credit card despite signing up for or paying Fees. Artrepreneur only stores your name, email, and address in accordance with Artrepreneur’s Privacy Policy.
If you decide to subscribe to a Pro Plan, you agree to pay Artrepreneur the Fee, and any applicable fees and taxes (including any foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location). Artrepreneur may calculate any taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide Artrepreneur at the time of purchase. All monthly or annual Fee(s) are billed automatically to your Payment Method at the start of each applicable period (i.e., the date that you first establish a Pro Member Type) unless you terminate your Pro Member Type prior to the start of the subsequent applicable period. To avoid being charged for the next cycle, Artrepreneur recommends that you cancel one (1) business day prior to the end of the applicable period. Upon any cancellation, you will have access to the Pro Member Type through the remainder of the applicable period and the Fee will not be reduced if you elect to not use or access the Platform during the remainder of the applicable period. Artrepreneur does not provide refunds on any Fees unless required under the local laws applicable to your jurisdiction. Failure to pay the fee will result in termination of your Pro Plan, and you will be downgraded to the Basic Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Fees are subject to change, subject to applicable law. Artrepreneur will notify Members thirty (30) days prior to any Fee changes.
Upon any failure to process payment for Fees, Artrepreneur reserves the right, in Artrepreneur’s sole discretion, to cease providing Pro Plan access to you, which will limit your access to certain features of the Platform. If you sign up for a free trial for a Pro Account (typically, Artrepreneur may extend to you 30 days free upon sign-up) and elect not to subscribe to a Pro Plan after the trial period ends (subscription for the next month/annual period may be automatic and your Payment Method will be charged unless you cancel your Pro Plan), you will not be eligible to sign up for another free trial for such Pro Member Types unless specifically agreed to by Artrepreneur.
IX) SELLING ARTWORK AND SERVICES
The Marketplace
Artrepreneur offers a Marketplace to its members that helps facilitate sales between buyers and sellers of Artwork. Members can sell their original, physical Artwork in the Marketplace. Pro Plan Members can also sell their Artwork in separate Showrooms that only contain your Artwork. For more detailed information, please see our Marketplace and Showroom Rules and the Marketplace and Showrooms sections of our Help Center.
Artrepreneur is not involved in seller’s selling Artwork, including, but not limited to, the payment, fulfillment, or shipping of any Artwork sold through a Marketplace or Showroom. Artrepreneur accepts no risk of loss in connection with a seller failing to adequately package their artwork. All such issues should be resolved solely between the buyer and seller. (Please see “I have a problem with my purchase”).
As of January 24, 2021, only Pro Members can sell artwork on Artrepreneur. Pro Artist Plan Member must choose either direct or PayPal payment when making Artwork available for sale on Artrepreneur. Pro Members selling Artwork do not pay any commission to Artrepreneur on Artwork sales, regardless of which method is used for receiving payments from sales. Please see our Marketplace and Showroom Rules and the Marketplace and Showrooms sections of our Help Center for more information regarding the purchase of Artwork.
Artwork added to the Marketplace by Basic Plan Members prior to January 24, 2021 may continue to sell those works using escrow.com as the payment processor for transactions consummated via the Platform from which Artrepreneur will receive a 10% commission from the Artist or Organization. Basic Plan Members WILL NOT be able to add any additional Artwork to the Marketplace without upgrading to a Pro Membership. Additionally, if an Artwork from Basic Plan Members is removed from the Marketplace, it cannot be added to the Marketplace again without the Member upgrading to a Pro Plan. Artrepreneur reserves the right to discontinue Basic Member Plan sales.
We encourage Members selling Artwork to utilize the various fields provided on the Artwork detail pages (available within your Account) and Marketplace Popup to provide all relevant information regarding the transaction. Buyers should be sure that they fully understand the aforementioned details before making a purchase.
Services
Artists may also offer Creative Services to Organizations through the Platform. Artrepreneur does not perform Creative Services and does not employ Artists to perform Creative Services or otherwise control when, how, where, whether, or for whom an Artist performs Creative Services. Artists provide services under their own name or business name, and not under Artrepreneur’s name. Artists operate as independent contractors, and their use of the Platform is merely to facilitate introductions to Organizations seeking Creative Services. Artists are free to solicit clients and provide their services outside of the Platform, including any services that compete with the Platform. Artists are free to accept or reject any Creative Services requested by an Organization. However, if an Artist agrees to provide Creative Services to an Organization through the Platform, the Artist is expected to fulfill the Artist’s contractual obligations. Artists set their own rates for Creative Services performed for an Organization through the Platform, without deduction by Artrepreneur.
Artrepreneur and the Platform are not an employment agency service or business and Artrepreneur is not an employer of any Artist. Artists acknowledge and agree that they are responsible for exercising their own business judgment in entering into agreements with Organizations and performing Creative Services. Artists further acknowledge and agree that Artrepreneur does not guarantee that any Organization will request or accept Creative Services or that Artists will profit from any Creative Services performed.
General
You cannot use your Pro Plan Payment Method to purchase any Artwork or Creative Services; your Pro Plan Payment Method is solely used in connection with the collection of the Pro Plan Fee.
Additionally, please also note, some Third Party Services, such as PayPal, have certain transaction limitations (such as no transactions over $10,000.00 USD), so please make sure to review the Marketplace and Showroom Rules or such Third Party Services terms and conditions before entering into any transaction with an Artist, Organization, or Fan.
If you are a Fan or Organization and desire to purchase Artwork or Creative Services from an Artist, you must use the payment method chosen by, or otherwise agreed to, by the Artist, as the Artist is who you are transacting with. You understand while you may communicate with a Fan, Organization or Artist via messages on the Platform and/or agree upon certain terms of the sale within the Platform, the Platform does not permit you to finalize a transaction within the Platform and the transaction must be finalized off the Platform via a Third Party Service, such as Escrow.com or PayPal, or by other means, you agree to with the applicable Fan, Organization or Artist.
You understand that Artrepreneur does not manufacture, store, or inspect any Artwork or perform or inspect any Creative Services offered through the Platform. Artrepreneur provides an online marketplace as part of the Platform and the Artwork and Creative Services offered within the Platform is provided, created, and performed directly by independent third-party sellers. Without limiting anything herein, Artrepreneur cannot and does not make any warranties about the quality, safety, non-infringement, or legality of any Artwork or Creative Services. Any legal claim related to Artwork or Creative Services you request must exclusively be brought directly against the selling Artist (or in the case of the Artist having a claim, to the buying Fan or Organization). YOU RELEASE ARTREPRENEUR FROM ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO ARTWORK CREATIVE SERVICES SOLD THROUGH THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR DEFECTIVE WORK PRODUCT, MISREPRESENTATIONS BY ARTISTS, OR ITEMS THAT CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURY (INCLUDING PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS).
In the event that you and another Fan, Organization, or Artist meet offline to consummate a transaction, fulfill the shipment of Artwork transacted via the Platform, or otherwise, please be careful and exercise caution and good judgment in all interactions with others. If you do meet another Member or Visitor offline, including representatives of such Member or Visitor, Artrepreneur accepts no responsibility or liability in connection with your interaction in accordance with these Terms, but kindly recommends that you always meet in a public, well-lit location. Do not go into another’s home or property, bring a second person with you and tell others where you are going, bring your cell phone and keep it on you, and overall, trust your instincts and leave if you are uncomfortable. Additionally, Artrepreneur encourages you to keep all communications for Artwork transactions within the Artrepreneur direct messaging system, or other savable electronic formats (such as your personal email, etc.), so that you have a written record of events if a transaction does not go as planned.
X) OPEN CALLS
Artrepreneur offers an open call system that allows Pro Organization Plan Members to host artistic competitions (“Open Calls”), wherein applicants are required to submit Artwork as the primary criteria for which the Open Call is judged or juried). Other Members may not offer any Open Calls, or other contest, on the Platform. For details on hosting or applying to Open Calls, please see the Open Call and Jobs section on Artrepreneur’s Help Center.
Artrepreneur has provided default terms to be followed for all Open Calls (see Open Call Rules), however, the Organization hosting the Open Call may provide additional terms. These additional terms, if any, will be made available by an Organization on the Open Call page (“Additional Rules”). By applying to an Open Call, you agree to and will become subject to the Open Call Rules and any Additional Rules. Artrepreneur urges you to review the Open Call Rules and Additional Rules before you participate in the Open Call. In the event of any conflict between the Additional Rules and the Open Call Rules or these Terms, these Terms and the Open Call Rules shall apply.
Administration of an Open Call shall solely fall upon such Organization Member offering the Open Call and Artrepreneur will not be responsible or liable for anything in connection with such Member Open Call, including, without limitation, any law, regulation, or requirement related to a contest. All Open Calls must be legally deemed to be a contest in the jurisdiction(s) where they are offered. Organizations may not offer a sweepstake, game of chance, or lottery without Artrepreneur’s express prior written consent in each instance.
XI) JOB BOARD AND TALENT SEARCH
Artrepreneur offers a Job Board as part of the Platform that allows Pro Organization Plan Members to post, at present, an unlimited amount of job postings (a “Job Post”) for creative, graphic design, advertising, and other artistic jobs. No non-artistic jobs may be posted. Currently, Artrepreneur charges Pro Organization Plan Members no fees to make a Job Post, other than the fees associated with the monthly or yearly Pro Organization Plan. Administration of Job Post shall solely fall upon such Business offering the Job Post and Artrepreneur will not be responsible or liable for anything in connection with such Job Post.
An Artist Member can apply or respond to a Job Post by clicking on various application links that will be present on the Job Post page. Organization and Buyer / Browser Members cannot apply for Jobs. Clicking the apply button on a job will start the application wizard, which will take the applicant through the steps required to finalize their application. After the application is complete, a PDF of the Member's resume, if provided, as well as a link to their Artrepreneur Visual Resume, any Artwork attached to the Job Post application, and an optional cover letter (text box only) will be sent to the Organization that created the Job Post.
Artist Members may also indicate to Organizations that they are available for hire by posting their profile to the Platform’s Hire Talent Search page. Organizations may contact Members directly regarding any job opportunities.
Artrepreneur and the Platform are not an employment agency service or business, and Artrepreneur does not investigate or vet any Artist, Organization, or Job Posting. Artrepreneur is solely providing a venue to connect creative professionals with businesses that have job opportunities.
