Visitors cannot add content to Artrepreneur. 

Members retain all ownership interest(s) in and to all of your Member Content and Artrepreneur will not be deemed the owner of any Member Content, but Members hereby grant to us, and our affiliates and licensees, a non-exclusive worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, and irrevocable license to copy, distribute, display, transmit, and store your Member Content for purposes of providing the Services and Third-Party Services to our Members, and Visitors.

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

All members and visitors to Artrepreneur must follow the Community Guidelines as incorporated herein.

 COLOR REPRODUCTION

You understand and agree that Artrepreneur uses commercially reasonable efforts to accurately display the colors of Member Content images uploaded via the Services. However, because individual computer monitors may display colors differently, we are not responsible for the color accuracy of any Member Content displayed on the Services.

 CONTRIBUTOR RIGHTS

We hope you’ll agree that our collaboration feature sets Artrepreneur apart from all other art-related online services. Through this feature, you can invite someone – registered or otherwise, to be listed as a contributor on a piece of artwork that you have uploaded onto the Artrepreneur Site. Of course, only someone who registers with us will be able to list himself or herself as a contributor. Once someone accepts an invitation to contribute to an artwork for which you’re listed as the “administrator,” or you as an administrator accept a request for someone to be a contributor, that work will be available on the contributor’s artwork page, which can then be accessed on the contributor’s portfolios and shown to Artrepreneur members or anyone with the link to that artwork, whether received via a search engine or sent directly. A contributor will continue to have rights to display the artwork on his or her own Artrepreneur page even after you have terminated your membership or asked us to delete your personal information.

Only an admin can make changes to the details of a work. Should a contributor want to add information or make changes, he or she should contact the administrator of the work, or make a request to the administrator to have the artwork transferred to you. An admin transfer can only occur if the admin accepts the request and initiates the transfer. If you are the copyright holder and the admin refuses to transfer admin control of an image to you as the legally entitled copyright holder, the appropriate procedure is to initiate a DMCA takedown request and upload the image to your account where you will be the admin for that image.

 USER CONDUCT

Certain features of the Services or Third-Party Services allows you to message or otherwise communicate with other users, Members or Visitors, including notification through actions, such as "likes," "favorites," and follows. You shall use such features in accordance with these Terms. You shall not submit or post any message or other communication which is abusive, harassing, threatening, obscene, defamatory, or racially, sexually, religiously, or otherwise objectionable and offensive.

Liking artwork or following members will send a notification alert to  the member or admin of a work.  Abuse of these systems, such as artificially collecting likes, followers, or shares, as well as posting repetitive comments or content, or repeatedly contacting people for commercial purposes without their consent will be considered a breach of these terms and may result in termination of your account, at our discretion. 

Text entry fields, whether accessible within your account or the platform in general, should be used for their intended purpose. For example, an artwork description should relate only to the artwork presented. Use of these areas for unrelated content, including but not limited to, political messaging, requests for donations or monetary gifts, or promotion of other unrelated social causes, is prohibited and may be deleted. Artrepreneur will make any determination regarding content deletion and removal on a case-by-case basis.

Submitting or posting any message or other communication will be deemed a material breach of these Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, we reserve the right to limit your use of the Services or Third-Party Services, in whole or in part, and we reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your Member Account if we believe that you are in breach of these Terms or in violation of any applicable law.
