Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if you submit listings for sale you may be required to verify your identity by separately providing ColabsArt with a copy of a government-issued ID, tax identification, VAT ID, or similar documentation and information. Your listings must be accurate and complete and comply with ColabsArt’s then-current listings content guidelines, which are available at colabsart.com/guidelines.

You acknowledge that your listings may not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours (or up to 24 hours or more in some circumstances). The placement of your listings in search and browse results may be based on factors that include without limitation title, keywords and price.

You acknowledge that ColabsArt reserves the right to promote and market Original Works of Art and/or Digital Works through the use of sales and/or discounts. The sale or discount amount will apply to the listing price of Original Works of Art and/or Printed Works (defined below) relating to the Digital Works.

If you want to remove a listing for an Original Work of Art or Digital Work from the Services you must go to your account, click on the image you want to delete and then click on Delete and follow the steps set forth on that page.

Responsibility for Works

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all Original Works of Art and Digital Works that you make available through the Services. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (i) as to Original Works of Art that you make available through the Services, you are the creator of all such Original Works of Arts and you are the sole and exclusive owner of all such Original Works of Art; (ii) as to Digital Works that you make available through the 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 ColabsArt the rights in such Digital Works as contemplated under these Terms; and (iii) neither the Original Works of Art nor Digital Works that you make available through the Services nor ColabsArt’s use and exploitation thereof as contemplated under these Terms will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, intellectual property rights or other third party rights, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Online Sales

If you submit listings for Original Works of Art, you are selling such Original Works of Art through the Services and on third party websites and sales channels (collectively “Online Sales”) and you hereby grant ColabsArt 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 Original Work of Art sales via the Sales Channels; and (ii) access, view, use, crop, resize, copy, distribute, license, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit and broadcast copies of the Original Work of Art in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed for the purpose of promoting ColabsArt 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 the Artist Revenue Share (defined below), which is payable only upon the sale of an Original Work of Art via the Online Sales channel.

If you submit listings for Digital Works, you will permit Members and other third parties to purchase fine art reproductions of the Digital Works (collectively, “Printed Works”) through a print-on-demand service, details of which are available via our Help Center.

If you submit listings for Digital Works, you hereby grant ColabsArt a worldwide, transferable, nonexclusive, right and license, with a right to sublicense, to: (i) use, modify (as appropriate in connection with the print-on-demand services and shipping of Printed Works), reproduce, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display the Digital Works to Members and other third parties via Online Sales and through other offline channels (“Offline Sales”); and (ii) access, view, use, crop, resize, copy, distribute, license, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit and broadcast copies of the Digital Works in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed, for the purpose of promoting ColabsArt 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 the Artist Revenue Share (defined below), which is payable only upon the sale of a Digital work via Online Sales channels and Offline Sales channels. ColabsArt may appoint one or more third party subcontractors, who may exercise the license rights above for the purpose of enabling ColabsArt to process and fulfill orders for Printed Works.

If an Original Work of Art and/or Printed Works are sold via a third party website, the terms and conditions of the third party website will apply to the purchase in question by the applicable purchaser via the third party website. However, as between you and ColabsArt, these Terms will apply to the sale of such Original Work of Art and/or Printed Work.

ColabsArt 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 via the Services. For purchases made via third party websites and for Offline Sales, the applicable third party website or ColabsArt’s Offline Sales partner will be responsible for collecting billing and shipping information, as applicable, from the purchaser and for processing payments, and will remit applicable payments relating to such sales as agreed upon between ColabsArt and the third party website or ColabsArt’s Offline Sales partner, as applicable, to ColabsArt and share related shipping information, including the contact details of the purchaser where necessary, with ColabsArt.

For Original Works of Art only, ColabsArt will provide you with the name and address of the purchaser and, unless otherwise instructed in writing by ColabsArt, you will be responsible for shipping the purchased Original Work of Art directly to the purchaser. ColabsArt will provide you with information regarding its preferred shippers with which ColabsArt maintains an account. You agree to ship the purchased Original Work of Art to the purchaser within seven (7) days following the date of purchase (the “Shipping Period”). If you do not ship the purchased Original Work of Art to the purchaser prior to the expiration of the Shipping Period, then the sale may be cancelled. If you ship the purchased Original Work of Art via a ColabsArt preferred shipper account, ColabsArt will be responsible for the cost of shipping. You are responsible for providing accurate shipping weight, shipping dimensions and shipping address to ColabsArt if you are using a ColabsArt preferred shipper. If actual shipping weight, shipping dimensions and shipping origination information at the time of shipment varies from the information provided by you, ColabsArt (after providing documentation) reserves the right to deduct the resulting increased shipping costs from your Artist Revenue Share (defined below). If you do not ship the purchased Original Work of Art via a ColabsArt preferred shipper or if you pay for the cost of shipping yourself, ColabsArt will reimburse you for the amount you paid for shipping, up to the amount that ColabsArt or the third party website charged the purchaser for shipping.

For sales of Original Works of Art via the Online Sales channels, ColabsArt will credit your Account in an amount to be determined in accordance with ColabsArt’s then-current standard pricing and revenue share terms (the “Artist Revenue Share”); for sales of Original Works of Art via the Services, subject to ColabsArt’s receipt of confirmation of delivery to the purchaser, ColabsArt will credit your Account with the corresponding Artist Revenue Share following the expiration of the return period and for sales of Original Works of Art via third party websites, ColabsArt will credit your Account with the corresponding Artist Revenue Share within a commercially reasonable time after it has received payment from the third party website and the Original Work of Art has been confirmed to have been successfully delivered to the purchaser, as determined by ColabsArt, in its sole discretion.

You agree to comply with the terms and conditions of ColabsArt’s then-current Return Policy that are applicable to any Original Works of Art that are sold through the Services.

For sales of Printed Works via Online Sales and Offline Sales, ColabsArt will credit your Account visible in the Sales Dashboard with the applicable Artist Revenue Share as set forth in ColabsArt’s then-current standard pricing and revenue share terms.

You will have the right to request ColabsArt to remit the Artist Revenue Share in your Account in accordance with a ColabsArt-designated payment schedule. Upon the termination of these Terms or cancellation of your Account, ColabsArt will remit to you the remaining balance of Artist Revenue Shares in your Account, if any.

If you remove a listing for a Digital Work from the Services, the license rights granted by you to ColabsArt with respect to such Digital Work will terminate as of the date the listing is removed, except that such license rights will survive and remain in effect for as long as necessary for ColabsArt and its third-party subcontractors to fulfill any in-progress orders for such Printed Works and for any orders for such Printed Works accepted by ColabsArt or its third-party subcontractors or its Online Sales partners via third party websites and its Offline Sales partners prior to or as of the effective date of termination. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that the license rights granted by you to ColabsArt with respect to using such Digital Work to promote ColabsArt and the Services will remain in full force and effect for only as long as necessary for ColabsArt to fulfill any current obligations that require using the Digital Work for such promotional purposes.

Color

You understand and agree that ColabsArt uses commercially reasonable efforts to display the colors of Original Works of Art, Digital Works and Printed Works accurately via the Services.

Resale Terms and Conditions

On every sold artwork, an option will be displayed next to the artwork that says, “Make an Offer” that allows buyers to submit a bid. If the artist deletes the work from the site, it is no longer eligible for resale offers. You can read our resale FAQ via our Help Center.

Resellers

The resale offer option will be displayed on all sold artworks. If someone makes an offer on an artwork that you have purchased through ColabsArt, you will be contacted by ColabsArt via email with the offer price as well as detailed instructions on how to move forward if you agree to sell. If you do not wish to accept the offer presented to you, you’re welcome to decline the offer. Should you decide to accept the offer, a member from our team will work closely with you through every step of the process.

Your earnings: You will earn a portion of the offer amount net the artist’s resale payment (see below).
Shipping and Handling: You are responsible for packaging, labeling, and coordinating pickup or drop-off with a courier. In addition, we allow sellers to arrange a pickup or drop-off with one of ColabsArt’s couriers. You are required to deliver the artwork in the same condition and materials as described in the artwork description online or as discussed and agreed upon with ColabsArt’s advisory team.
Certificate of Authenticity: Reseller is required to deliver any certificate of authenticity that accompanied the artwork in the original purchase.

Resale Buyers

On every sold artwork, you’ll see an option next to the artwork that says, “Make an Offer.” Proceed through the steps to confirm your offer. Once you have made your offer one of our curators will contact you to facilitate this process. If your offer is accepted, we will work with you to handle payment and logistics.

The offer form does not require registration or payment information. It simply collects your offer amount, personal message, and contact information (name, email).
All resale orders are final unless the artwork arrives damaged. In the event of damaged artwork, the order will undergo the same refund process as with any regular order. If the work is determined to be beyond repair or restoration, then you will be eligible for a refund.
In addition to the agreed upon price, additional costs such as shipping, customs/duties, and Taxes including VAT may be applied thereafter. All such costs will be clearly communicated to buyers before collecting payment.
Once you have confirmed you would like to proceed, you will need to provide your payment information before we process your purchase.
If your offer is declined by the owner of the artwork, you agree that a curator may contact you to let you know and to help find similar works or facilitate a commission by the same artist.
You cannot apply any promotional discounts to your offer.

Artists’ Resale Payment

If you are the original artist of the Original Work of Art that you sold on ColabsArt, you will receive a payment for the resale of your Original Work of Art.

Artists are eligible to receive a resale payment.
Artists will not be notified of the resale transaction until seven (7) days after the artwork has been delivered. This ensures the artwork has arrived and meets the buyer’s satisfaction (e.g., work was not damaged).
Once the resale order has cleared the seven (7) days, the payment will be made available for payout and the artist will be notified via email.

In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Mobile Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Mobile Services may work with all carriers or devices.

Notifications and Messages. By using the Mobile Services, you agree that we may communicate with you regarding ColabsArt and other entities by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your mobile device for the purpose of providing the applicable service and that certain information about your usage of the Mobile Services may be communicated to us. In the event you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number, you agree to promptly update your Account information to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person that acquires your old number. In the event that you fail to comply with the obligation to promptly update your Account information when changing or deactivating your mobile telephone number, you accept full responsibility for any of your messages, which may not be delivered or may be sent to the person that acquires your old number.

Mobile Application. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, ColabsArt grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install and use a copy of the applicable ColabsArt Mobile Application on a mobile device that you own or control and to run such copy of the mobile application solely to access the Mobile Services for your own personal non-commercial purposes. Furthermore, with respect to any Mobile Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), you will only use the App Store Sourced Application: (i) on an Apple-branded product that runs iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system); and (ii) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.

App Stores. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Mobile Application and the Mobile Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the Mobile Application license, e.g., the Apple or Android app stores (“App Store”). You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ColabsArt and not with the App Store. ColabsArt, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the Mobile Application and the Mobile Services, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty thereof, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g. product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property infringement). You agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Mobile Application and the Mobile Services. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Mobile Application and the Mobile Services is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third party terms of agreement (e.g., the App Store’s terms and policies) when using the Mobile Application and the Mobile Services. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third party beneficiaries of these Terms and will have the right to enforce them.

Accessing and Downloading the Mobile Application from the Apple App Store. The following applies to any Mobile Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store:

You acknowledge and agree that: (i) these Terms are concluded between you and ColabsArt only, and not Apple; and (ii) ColabsArt, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the Apple App Store terms of service.
You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store Sourced Application.
In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. As between ColabsArt and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of ColabsArt.
You and ColabsArt acknowledge that, as between ColabsArt and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
You and ColabsArt acknowledge that, in the event of any third party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between ColabsArt and Apple, ColabsArt, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.
You and ColabsArt acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms and the conditions of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
Without limiting any other terms of these Terms, you must comply with all applicable third party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.

Fees

ColabsArt reserves the right at any time to charge fees for access to the Services, or any portion thereof. However, in no event will you be charged for access to the Services unless we obtain your prior agreement to pay such charges. You may cancel your Account at any time. You agree to pay all charges that may be incurred by you or on your behalf through the Services, at the price(s) in effect when such charges are incurred. In addition, you remain responsible for any and all Taxes including VAT that may be applicable to your purchase(s), and you agree that such Taxes including VAT, if any, are not our responsibility.

Payments

If you wish to purchase an Original Work of Art or Printed Work, or any other product or service via the Services, you may be asked by us or our designee to supply certain information relevant to your purchase, including, without limitation, credit card number, expiration date, billing address, VAT ID, and shipping information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT MEANS USED BY YOU OR THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT FOR ANY SUCH PURCHASE. You acknowledge that any such information will be treated by us in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You grant us the right to provide such information to third parties in order to facilitate the completion of transactions initiated by you or on your behalf through the Services. Verification of information may be required prior to acceptance of any order through the Services.

Changes

We reserve the right, with or without prior notice, to: change descriptions or references to artworks, products, subscriptions, software or services; limit the available quantity of any artworks, products, subscriptions, software, or services; honor, or refuse to honor, any coupon, coupon code, promotional code or other similar promotions; and/or refuse to provide any user of the Services with any products, subscriptions, software or services. We may modify any points, rewards, or the terms that govern their usage, at our sole discretion, and such modifications may make the points or rewards more or less common, valuable, effective, or functional.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICES, COLABSART CONTENT AND MEMBER CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM COLABSART OR THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN. NO ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN OR PURCHASE MADE BASED UPON ANY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES. YOU SHOULD SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE FROM A PROFESSIONAL AND/OR A PERSON WHO IS KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE APPLICABLE AREA BEFORE ACTING UPON ANY OPINION, ADVICE, OR INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS OR USERS OF THE SERVICES AND WITH OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, COLABSART DOES NOT SCREEN OR INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUND OF MEMBERS OR OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES, NOR DOES COLABSART MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ANY MEMBERS OR USERS OF THE SERVICES. COLABSART MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF USERS OF THE SERVICES. YOU AGREE TO TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS IN ALL COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS OR USERS OF THE SERVICES AND WITH OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, PARTICULARLY IF YOU DECIDE TO MEET OFFLINE OR IN PERSON.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold ColabsArt, its officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Services, ColabsArt Content or Member Content, or your violation of these Terms.

Limitation of Liability

You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Services, ColabsArt Content and Member Content remains with you. Neither ColabsArt nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services, ColabsArt Content or Member Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services, ColabsArt Content or Member Content, or from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Members or users of the Services or other persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your use of the Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not ColabsArt has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

In no event will ColabsArt’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services, ColabsArt Content or Member Content exceed: (i) if you are a Member who has sold Original Works of Art or has licensed Digital Works and has received any Artist Revenue Share from ColabsArt from the sale of Printed Works, the total payments made or credited to you by ColabsArt for the sale of your Original Works of Art and/or from the sale of Printed Works based on your licensed Digital Works during the three (3) month period preceding the date a claim for liability arises under these Terms; and (ii) if you are a Member who has purchased Original Works of Art or Printed Works, the total payments that you made to ColabsArt for the Original Works of Art and/or Printed Works that are the subject of a claim. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between ColabsArt and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Proprietary Rights Notices

All trademarks, service marks, logos, trade names and any other proprietary designations of ColabsArt used herein are trademarks or registered trademarks of ColabsArt or its licensors. Any other trademarks, service marks, logos, trade names and any other proprietary designations are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective parties.

Resolution of Disputes

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms will be governed by the laws applicable in ColabsArt’s place of business, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You and we expressly agree that any claim or dispute must be resolved exclusively by a court or arbitration of competent jurisdiction, except as described in the Agreement to Arbitrate below or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

Informal Resolution

It is our goal that the Services meet your expectations and provide excellent service. However, there may be instances when you feel that we have made a mistake or left you disappointed in some way. In those instances, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution that satisfies you; however, we can only do this if we know about and understand your concern. Therefore, for any problem or dispute that you may have with us, you acknowledge and agree that you will, as an initial matter, email us at Support@colabsart.com to describe to us the nature of your complaint or dissatisfaction. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within thirty (30) days after our receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the informal resolution process described in this paragraph is a precondition to pursuing any other process, so please do not forget to contact us first.

Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS. BY ELECTING ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS WILL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PROPOSED CLASS ACTION. WHETHER OR NOT YOU OPT-OUT, HOWEVER, YOU ARE GIVING UP A RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, local, or other court or agency, will have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms and this Agreement to Arbitrate, including but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms or this Agreement to Arbitrate is void or voidable.

You and we agree that, except as expressly set forth below, the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of your use of the Services and these Terms or to any products or services sold or distributed through the Services, will be final and binding arbitration, except to the extent that either party has, in any manner, infringed upon or violated, or threatened to infringe upon or violate, the rights of either party or any third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy or publicity rights or is seeking to vindicate public rights, in which case both sides acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy and that injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought by either party and/or the applicable third party(ies) on an individual basis in a court of competent jurisdiction. As a limited exception to this mutual Agreement to Arbitrate, you and we agree that either party may take claims to small claims court, if the claims qualify for hearing by such court.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Support@colabsart.com.

Means and Fees. In the interest of efficiency and fairness, you and we agree that the arbitration proceeding will be based solely on written submissions, unless the arbitrator deems an oral hearing strictly necessary. Should the arbitrator deem an oral hearing to be necessary, such hearing will be conducted via telephone or other electronic or technical means, or if that’s not possible, in person in the jurisdiction where you reside or at another mutually agreed upon location. The language of the arbitration will be English or, for users who reside outside of the applicable jurisdiction, the official language of your jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, and judgment may be entered upon it by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. If you initiate arbitration, we will reimburse you for filing, administration and arbitrator fees for claims totaling less than USD $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. We are not responsible for reimbursing you for costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel or other out-of-pocket costs or expenses. We will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

Right to Opt-Out. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE by sending an email to Support@colabsart.com. Such opt-out must be given within the earlier of thirty (30) days of approving your first purchase of products on the Services or your first upload of artwork to the Services or if we make any changes to this Agreement to Arbitrate which alter your rights, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such revision to this Agreement to Arbitrate. Any opt-out received after such deadline will be ineffective and this Agreement to Arbitrate will remain in full force and effect, except as expressly provided above. If you opt-out of this Agreement to Arbitrate, we also will not be bound by the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

Class Action Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE PERMITTED. In the event that this Class Action Waiver is deemed unenforceable with respect to any particular claim otherwise subject to arbitration, then that claim will not proceed in arbitration but rather will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction. If that occurs, however, this Agreement to Arbitrate and this Class Action Waiver still will be fully enforceable as to all other claims, which must be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis.

Waiver of Trial by Judge or Jury. YOU AND WE AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT BY USING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHT THAT YOU OR WE MAY HAVE TO A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL WITH REGARD TO ALL CLAIMS SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. You and we further agree that any claim heard in a court of competent jurisdiction will be heard by a judge instead of a jury, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.

Limitation of Actions

You and we agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to use of the Services, or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or will be forever barred.

Users from Other Jurisdictions

The Services are controlled and operated by ColabsArt. We do not represent or warrant that the Services, or any part thereof, are appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the Services, do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. We may limit the availability of the Services, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction that we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between ColabsArt and you regarding the Services and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between ColabsArt and you regarding the Services.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without ColabsArt’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. ColabsArt may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Notices

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given: (i) by ColabsArt via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

General

The failure of ColabsArt to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of ColabsArt. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Contacting ColabsArt

If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact ColabsArt at Support@colabsart.com. For questions relating to curation or listings, you may also reach us at Curators@colabsart.com.

Sponsored Listings Addendum

to the ColabsArt Terms of Service

This Sponsored Listings Addendum (this “Addendum”) supplements and is incorporated into the ColabsArt Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”), available at colabsart.com/terms, between ColabsArt (“ColabsArt,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the Member accepting this Addendum (“Advertiser,” “you,” or “your”). By enrolling in the Sponsored Listings program, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Addendum.

This Addendum governs your participation in the ColabsArt Sponsored Listings program. Your use of the Services generally, including your activities as a seller of Original Works of Art and Digital Works, continues to be governed by the Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Terms of Service with respect to Sponsored Listings, this Addendum shall prevail.

1. Definitions

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Service. The following additional definitions apply to this Addendum:

“Ad Platform” means the third-party advertising management platform through which Advertisers create and manage Campaigns.
“Advertiser” means a Member who has enrolled in the Sponsored Listings program and accepted this Addendum.
“Campaign” means a set of Sponsored Listings created and managed by an Advertiser through the Ad Platform, with defined parameters including budget, duration, and targeting criteria.
“Sponsored Listing” means a paid placement of an Original Work of Art listing or Digital Work listing that receives preferential positioning in search results, browse pages, or other designated areas of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, a Sponsored Listing is a paid advertisement and does not constitute an editorial recommendation or endorsement by ColabsArt.
“Sponsored Listing Fees” means the fees payable by an Advertiser to ColabsArt in connection with Campaigns, as calculated in accordance with the fee schedule referenced in Section 5.2 of this Addendum.

2. Eligibility and Enrollment

2.1 To be eligible to participate in the Sponsored Listings program, you must: (a) be a Member in good standing with an active Account; (b) have at least one active listing for an Original Work of Art or Digital Work on the Services; (c) meet the geographic eligibility requirements then in effect; and (d) satisfy any additional eligibility criteria established by ColabsArt from time to time.

2.2 Participation in the Sponsored Listings program requires your affirmative acceptance of this Addendum. Acceptance of the Terms of Service alone does not constitute enrollment in the Sponsored Listings program.

2.3 To create and manage Campaigns, you must create and maintain an account with the Ad Platform provider and agree to the Ad Platform provider’s terms of service. ColabsArt is not a party to, and assumes no liability under, the Ad Platform provider’s terms of service.

2.4 ColabsArt reserves the right to approve, reject, suspend, or revoke your participation in the Sponsored Listings program at any time, with or without cause, in its sole discretion.

3. Campaign Creation and Management

3.1 Campaigns are created and managed by the Advertiser through the Ad Platform on a self-service basis. ColabsArt provides access to the Sponsored Listings program but does not create, manage, or optimize Campaigns on behalf of Advertisers.

3.2 ColabsArt retains sole discretion over the placement, positioning, targeting algorithms, display frequency, and overall user experience of Sponsored Listings on the Services. ColabsArt may modify any of the foregoing at any time without prior notice to the Advertiser.

3.3 ColabsArt may reject, suspend, or remove any Sponsored Listing at any time, for any reason or no reason, without liability to the Advertiser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ColabsArt may reject or remove Sponsored Listings that, in ColabsArt’s sole judgment, violate this Addendum, the Terms of Service, applicable law, or ColabsArt’s content guidelines.

3.4 ColabsArt makes no guarantees regarding impressions, click-through rates, conversions, sales, or any other performance metrics resulting from any Campaign. Sponsored Listings are made available on an “as available” basis and ColabsArt does not guarantee any minimum level of visibility or engagement.

4. Sponsored Listing Content Standards

4.1 Accuracy. All information contained in a Sponsored Listing must be accurate, complete, and not misleading. The content of each Sponsored Listing must be consistent with the underlying product listing on the Services for the applicable Original Work of Art or Digital Work. A Sponsored Listing may not contain claims, descriptions, or representations that differ from or exceed those in the standard listing.

4.2 Art-Specific Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that all information in each Sponsored Listing regarding the medium, materials, dimensions, edition size (if applicable), provenance, authenticity, and condition of the work is accurate and complete, and complies with all applicable art disclosure and consumer protection laws and any other applicable state or federal statutes governing the sale, marketing, or advertising of fine art, prints, multiples, or sculptures.

4.3 Prohibited Content. Sponsored Listings are subject to the General Prohibitions set forth in the Terms of Service. In addition, Sponsored Listings may not contain: (a) false or misleading claims of affiliation with galleries, museums, institutions, or other artists; (b) misleading pricing, discount, or promotional information; (c) claims of awards, honors, or accolades that are inaccurate or cannot be substantiated; or (d) any other content that ColabsArt determines, in its sole discretion, is detrimental to the user experience, marketplace integrity, or the reputation of the Services.

4.4 Intellectual Property. You represent and warrant that you own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to use all content included in your Sponsored Listings, including images, text, and any trademarks or copyrighted material. This representation and warranty is in addition to, and does not limit, the intellectual property representations and warranties made by you under the Seller Terms and Conditions of the Terms of Service.

5. Fees, Invoicing, and Payment

5.1 Fee Schedule. Sponsored Listing Fees are calculated on a cost-per-click (“CPC”), per-page basis. Sponsored Listing Fees are dynamic, vary per page, and change based on market demand and web traffic. All Sponsored Listing Fees are stated in US dollars and are exclusive of applicable Taxes, as defined in and consistent with the Taxes provision of the Terms of Service.

5.2 Invoicing and Payment.

(a) Following the conclusion of each calendar month, ColabsArt will issue an invoice to the Advertiser via our designated payment processor reflecting the Sponsored Listing Fees accrued during that period. ColabsArt reserves the right to modify its billing cycle upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Advertiser.
(b) Payment is due within fourteen (14) days of the date of each invoice (the “Payment Due Date”). The Advertiser must maintain a valid payment method on file with the designated payment processor at all times during its participation in the Sponsored Listings program.
(c) If ColabsArt does not receive payment by the Payment Due Date, ColabsArt may, in its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions: (i) suspend or terminate the Advertiser’s access to the Sponsored Listings program; (ii) deactivate all of the Advertiser’s active Campaigns; (iii) charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable law), accruing from the Payment Due Date until paid in full; and (iv) deduct the outstanding amount, including any accrued interest, from any Artist Revenue Share balance then held in the Advertiser’s Account.

The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that the right of setoff described in clause (iv) above applies notwithstanding that the Artist Revenue Share arises under a separate commercial relationship (the sale of Original Works of Art and/or Printed Works). By accepting this Addendum, the Advertiser expressly consents to such setoff.

5.3 Invoice Disputes. If the Advertiser disputes any invoiced amount, the Advertiser must notify ColabsArt in writing within seven (7) days of the invoice date, specifying in reasonable detail the disputed amount and the basis for the dispute. The Advertiser must pay all undisputed amounts by the applicable Payment Due Date. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days following ColabsArt’s receipt of the Advertiser’s written notice, the dispute will be subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Terms of Service.

6. Indemnification

6.1 The Advertiser agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ColabsArt, its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or relating to:

(a) the content of the Advertiser’s Sponsored Listings, including any claims of misrepresentation, false advertising, or violation of art disclosure or consumer protection laws;
(b) any breach of the Advertiser’s representations, warranties, or obligations under this Addendum;
(c) any violation of applicable law by the Advertiser in connection with the Sponsored Listings program; and
(d) any dispute between the Advertiser and a purchaser or other third party arising from or related to a Sponsored Listing.

6.2 This indemnification obligation is in addition to, and does not limit or supersede, the general indemnification obligation set forth in the Terms of Service.

7. Limitation of Liability

7.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, COLABSART’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS ADDENDUM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL SPONSORED LISTING FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY THE ADVERTISER TO COLABSART DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE APPLICABLE CLAIM ARISES.

7.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS ADDENDUM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR LOSS OF DATA, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7.3 The limitations of liability set forth in this Section 7 apply in lieu of the limitation of liability provisions in the Terms of Service with respect to any claims arising under or relating to this Addendum. The limitations of damages set forth in this Section 7 are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between ColabsArt and the Advertiser.

8. Term, Suspension, and Termination

8.1 Term. This Addendum is effective as of the date the Advertiser accepts it and shall remain in effect until terminated by either party in accordance with this Section 8.

8.2 Termination by Advertiser. The Advertiser may terminate this Addendum at any time by deactivating all active Campaigns through the Ad Platform and providing written notice to ColabsArt at Support@colabsart.com. Termination by the Advertiser does not relieve the Advertiser of the obligation to pay any Sponsored Listing Fees accrued prior to the effective date of termination.

8.3 Termination by ColabsArt. ColabsArt may suspend or terminate the Advertiser’s participation in the Sponsored Listings program at any time, with or without cause, upon notice to the Advertiser. In the event of termination for the Advertiser’s breach of this Addendum or the Terms of Service, all outstanding Sponsored Listing Fees shall become immediately due and payable.

8.4 Effect on Terms of Service. Termination of this Addendum does not affect the Advertiser’s status as a Member or the continued applicability of the Terms of Service to the Advertiser’s other use of the Services, including the listing and sale of Original Works of Art and Digital Works.

8.5 Survival. The following provisions shall survive any termination or expiration of this Addendum: Section 4 (Content Standards, with respect to Sponsored Listings displayed prior to termination), Section 5 (Fees, Invoicing, and Payment, with respect to amounts accrued prior to termination), Section 6 (Indemnification), Section 7 (Limitation of Liability), this Section 8.5, and Section 10 (General Provisions).

9. Third-Party Ad Platform

9.1 The Advertiser acknowledges that the Sponsored Listings program operates through the Ad Platform, which is provided and maintained by a third-party service provider. The Advertiser’s use of the Ad Platform is governed by the Ad Platform provider’s own terms of service, which the Advertiser must accept independently of this Addendum.

9.2 ColabsArt is not responsible for the availability, performance, functionality, or security of the Ad Platform. ColabsArt makes no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, regarding the Ad Platform.

9.3 In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Ad Platform provider’s terms of service, this Addendum shall govern the relationship between the Advertiser and ColabsArt. The Ad Platform provider’s terms govern the relationship between the Advertiser and the Ad Platform provider only.

10. General Provisions

10.1 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Addendum shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in ColabsArt’s place of business, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under or in connection with this Addendum shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions (including the Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver) set forth in the Terms of Service, which are incorporated herein by reference.

10.2 Amendments. ColabsArt may amend this Addendum at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Advertiser, which notice may be provided by email, through the Ad Platform, or by posting the amended Addendum on the Services. The Advertiser’s continued use of Sponsored Listings after the expiration of the notice period shall constitute the Advertiser’s acceptance of the amended Addendum. If the Advertiser does not agree to the amended terms, the Advertiser must terminate its participation in accordance with Section 8.2 prior to the effective date of the amendment.

If any provision of this Addendum is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed from this Addendum, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

10.5 Waiver. The failure of ColabsArt to enforce any right or provision of this Addendum shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of this Addendum shall be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of ColabsArt.
