Seller Terms & Conditions
The Seller Terms and Conditions apply to all users who use the Site or Services to facilitate the sale of their Works or Digital Works.
Seller Warranties and Responsibilities. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all Works or Digital Works that you make available through the Site. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (i) as to Works that you make available through the Site and Services, you are the creator of all such Works and you are the sole and exclusive owner of all such Works; (ii) as to Digital Works that you make available through the Site and Services, you are either the sole and exclusive owner of all such Digital Works or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to Artwork Network the rights in such Digital Works as contemplated under these Seller Terms and Conditions; and (iii) neither the Works nor Digital Works that you make available through the Site and Services nor Artwork Network’s use and exploitation thereof as contemplated under these Seller Terms and Conditions will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or any other intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.
Artwork Network as a Reseller. If you submit a listing for Work(s) or Digital Work(s), you hereby appoint Artwork Network as an independent non-exclusive reseller with the right to resell such Work(s) or Digital Work(s) through the Site and Services (collectively, “Online Sales”) as well as through Artwork Network’s physical gallery (hereinafter, “Offline Sales”), and you hereby grant Artwork Network a worldwide, transferable, nonexclusive, right and license, with a right to sublicense, to: (i) use, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display copies of the Work or Digital Work through Online Sales channels; and (ii) access, view, use, crop, resize, copy, distribute, license, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit and broadcast copies of the Work or Digital Work in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed for the purpose of promoting Artwork Network, the Site and the Services. You acknowledge and agree that the foregoing license rights are granted on a royalty-free basis and that your sole compensation for the grant of such license rights, if any, will be in the form of a check or a direct deposit to your designated financial account (hereinafter, “Bank Account”) from Artwork Network, which is payable only upon the sale through the Online Sales Channel and purchaser’s receipt of shipment of a Work or Digital Work from seller.
Pricing for Seller Works or Digital Works. Artwork Network does not charge listing fees to sell Works or Digital Works, and instead, offers User Subscription Level Pricing for the Services. We do, however, charge a fee for referring the purchaser to you, the seller (hereinafter, a “Referral Commission”), consistent with the User Subscription Level Pricing upon the sale of any Work or Digital Work through the Site. We reserve the right to change our Referral Commission fees, and any changes in such fees are effective after we provide you with at least 14 days’ notice by posting the changes on the Site.
Automatic Renewal of Subscription. Your subscription to use the Services to sell Works or Digital Works will automatically renew each month (or year, if you select the annual option) until terminated by you or by Artwork Network. The initial recurring charges for your subscription will be set forth during the purchase process. The amount you are charged may vary depending on the preferences you select, and Artwork Network may adjust such recurring charges from time to time in accordance with the Pricing for Seller Works or Digital Works section, above. See the Cancellation of Subscription section, below, for instructions as to how to cancel a subscription.
Free or Discounted Trial Subscriptions. From time to time, Artwork Network may offer seller a free or discounted subscription to use the Services to sell Works or Digital Works. The free or discounted trial subscription will last for one month, or as otherwise specified during the purchase process and it is intended to allow you to try the service at a reduced cost or no cost. We reserve the right to revoke the free or discounted trial and put your account on hold in our sole discretion. We will charge you for your subscription at the end of the free or discounted trial period for the User Subscription Level Pricing you select unless you cancel prior to the end of the free or discounted trial period.
Cancellation Subscription You may cancel your subscription (or a free or discounted trial subscription) at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your monthly billing period. If you have an annual subscription, you may still cancel at any time and you will be refunded the pro-rated price for the remaining months left in your annual subscription, accounting for the day of the month on your annual subscription, minus any discounts that we gave you for choosing an annual membership. To cancel, go to the dashboard within the Site, click on “My Account,” choose the dropdown to select “Account Settings” and click “Cancel my Subscription.” If cancellation occurs after the billing date the cancellation request will be processed for the next scheduled billing date. You are responsible for all charges (including any applicable taxes and other charges) incurred with respect to any order processed prior to the cancellation of your monthly subscription.
Changes to the Price and Subscriptions. We reserve the right to change our Referral Commission fees, and any changes in such fees are effective after we provide you with notice. Additionally, we reserve the right to temporarily change the fees for our Services for promotional events or additional Services, and such changes are effective when we provide you with notice.
Refunds and Discounts. Payments for the monthly subscriptions are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods, except as expressly provided herein. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our sellers (“Credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
Other Billing Information. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our Site and Services in a timely manner. For typical transactions the Referral Commission will be automatically deducted prior to depositing funds in your Bank Account. We reserve the right, in certain circumstances, including but not limited to fraudulent activities, to recover or apply additional fees to your seller account. If you are a seller of Works or Digital Works, you acknowledge that Artwork Network will withhold the taxes required to be withheld from the payments Artwork Network makes to you. Seller must fill out appropriate tax forms prior to any commissions being paid. It is seller’s responsibility to obtain the appropriate tax forms. Commissions for purchased Works or Digital Works will be paid to sellers as follows:
Unless otherwise stated by Artwork Network, the following paragraph shall apply.
Artwork Network and/or its third party service providers will be responsible for collecting billing and shipping information from the purchaser and for processing payment for such purchases through the Site and Services. For purchases made through Offline Sales, the Artwork Network’s Offline Sales Partner will be responsible for collecting billing and shipping information, as applicable, from the purchaser and for processing payments. Artwork Network or its Offline Sales Partner will share purchaser’s related shipping information and contact details, if necessary, with seller. Once seller receives the shipping information, seller shall be responsible for shipping the purchased Work(s) or Digital Work(s) to the purchase, with shipping type at the seller’s discretion, so that purchaser receives the Work(s) or Digital Work(s) within 14 business days of the sale. Artwork Network or its Offline Sales Partner will remit applicable payments (purchase price minus any Referral Commission(s)) relating to such purchased Work(s) or Digital Work(s) to seller thirty (30) days after we receive confirmation that purchaser received the Work(s) or Digital Work(s).
Purchaser Terms & Conditions
The Purchaser Terms and Conditions apply to all users who use the Site or Services to facilitate the purchase of any Works or Digital Works.
Cancellations. Artwork Network reserves the right to cancel any order for any Work or Digital Work placed through the Site and Services if Artwork Network determines, in its sole discretion, that the item is mispriced, out of stock, discontinued, or otherwise unavailable at the price listed through the Site and Services. If Artwork Network cancels an order placed through the Site and Services, Artwork Network will send you an email confirmation of such cancellation and you will not be charged for your order.
Returns. Please review our Return Policy for information on returning Works or Digital Works.
Taxes and Other Applicable Fees. All prices, Referral Commissions, fees and other amounts referred to in these Terms, including any prices, Referral Commissions and fees set forth on the Site, are stated in U.S. dollars and do not include any sales, use, value added ("VAT"), goods and services ("GST") or similar taxes or withholding taxes or any customs, duties or tariffs that may be assessed by any governmental tax authority or that are otherwise payable under applicable law with respect to the purchase, sale and licensing transactions contemplated hereunder.
If you are a purchaser of Works or Digital Works, you acknowledge that Artwork Network will add taxes to the amounts charged, as a separate charge, when required or when allowed to do so. Each party will be responsible for complying with any and all obligations imposed on it under applicable law with respect to the collection and payment of any taxes. Each party will cooperate with the other party, and furnish the other party with any customary written documentation or forms required under applicable law to enable the other party to comply with such obligations or to exercise any rights available under applicable law to minimize or to qualify for an exemption from any such obligations.
Sellers’ and Purchasers’ Obligations to Safeguard Personal Information
If you receive purchasers’ contact and shipping information as necessary to facilitate purchases of Works or Digital Works, then you must only use and disclose such personal information as necessary to facilitate the transaction or to have any communications with Artwork Network regarding the transaction. If you receive sellers’ contact and shipping information as necessary to facilitate returns, when permitted, of Works or Digital Works, then you must only use and disclose such personal information as necessary to facilitate the transaction or to have any communications with Artwork Network regarding the return. Both purchasers and sellers receiving personal information agree to comply with any applicable laws regarding the handling of such personal information.
Purchases by Users Independent of the Site and Services
If you are a User who has submitted a listing for a Work or a Digital Work and you have been contacted through the Site and Services by another User with respect to purchasing either of the foregoing, you may not sell such Work or Digital Work to such User independent of the Site and Services. Similarly, if you are a User and desire to purchase a Work or Digital Work for which another User has submitted a listing, you may not purchase such Work or Digital Work from such User independent of the Site and Services.

This Web site, www.artworknetwork.com, is owned and operated by Artwork Network, LLC.
We know that your privacy is important to you, and we work hard to earn and keep your trust. We have created this Policy to let you know what Personal Information we collect when you use this Site, how we use and share the Personal Information we collect, and how we protect your privacy.
If you have any questions about this Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us by e-mail at support@artworknetwork.com or by mail at Artwork Network, LLC, 767 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, CO 80204.
Your Consent
Please take a few minutes to review this Policy before using this Site. By using this Site you are consenting to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as set forth in this Policy. If you do not agree to be bound by this Policy, you may not access or use this Site.
This Policy is Part of Our Terms of Use
This Policy is part of the Terms of Use that govern your use of this Site. A link to our Terms of Use is provided at the bottom of each page of this Site.
Privacy Notices
This Policy may be supplemented or amended from time to time by “privacy notices” posted on this Site. These privacy notices provide a level of detail that we cannot provide in this more general description of our privacy practices. For example, certain pages of this Site may contain privacy notices providing details about the Personal Information we collect on those pages, why we need that information, and choices you may have about the ways we use that information.
Other Agreements
When you sign up to use a special feature of this Site, you may be asked to agree to special terms governing your use of the special feature. In such cases, you may be asked to expressly consent to the special terms, for example, by checking a box or clicking on a button marked “I agree.” This type of agreement is known as a “click-through” agreement. If any of the terms of the click-through agreement are different than the terms of this Policy, the terms of the click-through agreement will supplement or amend this Policy, but only with respect to the matters governed by the “click-through agreement.”
Types of Personal Information We Collect
Information You Manually Provide. Artwork Network collects the Personal Information you manually provide (using your keyboard, mouse, or touchpad) when you use the Site. For example, we collect the Personal Information you provide when you place an order for a Work or Digital Work, subscribe to one of our newsletters, review or comment on a listed Work or Digital Work, or contact us with questions. Some of the information you post to this Site may constitute User-Generated Content. All User-Generated Content must comply with our Terms of Use.
Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser. We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your Web browser. This information typically includes your IP address, the identity of your Internet service provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings. Generally, we do not link the information provided by your browser to your Personal Information.
More About IP Addresses. An “IP address” is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. It is used to identify your computer’s “location” in cyberspace, so that the information you request can be delivered to you. If you use a dial-up connection or a connection that assigns dynamic IP addresses, your computer will be assigned a new IP address each time you connect to the Internet. If, however, your computer is permanently connected to the Internet using a static IP address, the IP address assigned to your computer will generally be the same each time you use your computer.
IP addresses do not include your name, e-mail address or other information that identifies you personally, but in some cases, they can be used to identify you. For example, if you have registered with this Site, we may link your IP address to account information that identifies you personally. We may also provide your IP address to our third-party service provider who can use it to identify your state and zip code. This gives us valuable demographic information about the individuals who use this Site. In addition, if, we suspect fraud or a threat to the security of this Site, we may share our server logs—which contain users’ IP addresses—with the appropriate investigative authorities, who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.
Cookies and Similar Technologies. We may use “cookies” and other Web technologies to collect information and support certain features of this Site. For example, we may use these technologies to:
Generally, the information we collect using these Web technologies does not identify you personally. If, however, you have created a User identity by registering with this Site, we may link the information we collect using these Web technologies to other information that identifies you personally.
In addition to any cookies Artwork Network may deliver to your computer, our advertising partners may use cookies. For example, our advertising partners may deliver cookies through this Site or via e-mail that allow them to recognize you in future Web sessions as someone who has expressed an interest in this Site or in any displayed Works or Digital Works. Likewise, links in e-mails sent to you by our advertising partners may be designed so that we can identify recipients who click on them and/or measure the effectiveness of the e-mail campaign. Cookies delivered by our advertising partners do not identify you personally. They are used to help the Web sites you visit understand your interests and to customize the content of the advertisements presented to you. The expiration durations of cookies delivered by our advertising partners vary and are set by our advertising partners.
Generally, if you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Please note, however, that your browser cannot screen out cookies that are sent by e-mail.
Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit this Site, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of this Site if your browser rejects our cookies.

The User-Generated Content you submit on or through this Site is available to others who visit this Site. In addition, we may use User-Generated Content you submit on or through this Site in advertising campaigns and other promotions. We may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your consent before using the content for such purposes.
Therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy with respect to User-Generated Content you submit on or through this Site. You should not submit any content you do not wish to make available to the general public, and you must take special care to make sure your submissions comply with our Terms of Use.

How We Use Personal Information Collected Through This Site
Generally, we use the Personal Information we collect through this Site
Please see below for information about the choices you have about the ways we use your Personal Information.
Your Choices
In General. We respect your right to make choices about the ways we collect, use and disclose your Personal Information. In most cases, we will ask you to indicate your choices at the time we collect your Personal Information. For example, if you register with this Site, we provide you with an opportunity to “opt out” of receiving certain communications from us. In addition, we will include an “opt out” link in each electronic newsletter or promotional e-mail we send you, or directions as to how to change your privacy settings, so that you can inform us that you do not wish to receive such communications from us in the future.
Previously Expressed Preferences. You may change previously expressed preferences regarding how we use your Personal Information. If you are a registered member of this Site, you may be able to change certain privacy preferences through your account settings. Otherwise, if at any time you wish to be taken off our mailing lists, please contact us by e-mail at support@artworknetwork.com or by mail at Artwork Network, LLC, 767 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, CO 80204. Please provide your full name, postal address and e-mail address so that we can find you on our mailing lists. Once we have the information we need, we will remove you from our mailing lists as you have requested. Please give us a reasonable amount of time to honor your request. Please note that the sellers may contact you directly for their own marketing purposes. If you wish to change your level of communication with such seller(s), you must reach out to such seller(s) directly.
Username; User Profile. The name that you select as your username will be displayed on the Site and will be available to the public. It is connected to all of your activity on the Site. So if you associate your name with your username, the people to whom you have revealed your name will be able to identify your activities on the Site. Additionally, any information that you provide as part of your profile as a User will be visible to other Users and the public. If you do not wish for others to know this information, then do not add it to your profile. You may remove information from your profile at any time by going to the user profile section within your account.
Following Other Users. Our Site allows Users to follow other Users within the Artwork Network Site, which is known as “Chatter,” a feature provided by SalesForce®. Upon registering with the Site as a User, your settings will default to allow other Users to follow you. If you do not wish for other Users to follow you, simply uncheck the Chatter box either upon registering or by going into your privacy settings within your account after you have registered.
Do Not Track Mechanisms. Your browser may deliver a “Do-Not-Track (‘DNT’) signal” to the Site. Because of the changing state of technology and indecision within the technology and marketing industries regarding the meaning of DNT signals, we currently do not make any guarantee that we will honor DNT signals.
