Your listings must be accurate and complete and comply with JV Studio Art’s then-current listings content guidelines, which are available at www.jvstudiosart.com/hc/artists. JV Studio Art reserves the right to edit any listings to ensure that they comply with these guidelines. You acknowledge that your listings may not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours (or up to 120 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 JV Studio Art reserves the right to promote and market Original Works of Art through the use of sales and/or discounts. The sale or discount amount will apply to the listing price of Original Works of Art. You always retain the right to remove a listing for an Original Work of Art from the Services – please see below for instructions.

If you want to remove a listing for an Original Work of Art 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 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; and (ii) neither the Original Works of Art that you make available through the Services nor JV Studio Art’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 JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art, 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 an Original Work of Art 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 JV Studio Art, these Terms will apply to the sale of such Original Work of Art.

JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art’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 JV Studio Art and the third party website or JV Studio Art’s Offline Sales partner, as applicable, to JV Studio Art and share related shipping information, including the contact details of the purchaser where necessary, with JV Studio Art.

For Original Works of Art only, JV Studio Art will provide you with the name and address of the purchaser and, unless otherwise instructed in writing by JV Studio Art, you will be responsible for shipping the purchased Original Work of Art directly to the purchaser. JV Studio Art will provide you with information regarding its preferred shippers with which JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art preferred shipper account, JV Studio Art will be responsible for the cost of shipping. You are responsible for providing accurate shipping weight, shipping dimensions and shipping address to JV Studio Art if you are using a JV Studio Art preferred shipper. If actual shipping weight, shipping dimensions and shipping origination information at the time of shipment varies from the information provided by you, JV Studio Art (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 JV Studio Art preferred shipper or if you pay for the cost of shipping yourself, JV Studio Art will reimburse you for the amount you paid for shipping, up to the amount that JV Studio Art or the third party website charged the purchaser for shipping.

For sales of Original Works of Art via the Online Sales channels, JV Studio Art will credit your Account in an amount to be determined in accordance with JV Studio Art’s then-current standard pricing and revenue share terms, which may be found at jvstudiosart.com/hc/articles/44401 (the “Artist Revenue Share”); for sales of Original Works of Art via the Services, subject to JV Studio Art’s receipt of confirmation of delivery to the purchaser, JV Studio Art 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, JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art, in its sole discretion.

Upon the termination of these Terms or cancellation of your Account, JV Studio Art will remit to you the remaining balance of Artist Revenue Shares in your Account, if any.

Purchaser Terms and Conditions

Purchases of Original Works of Art

As a Member, you may purchase Original Works of Art that are listed by other Members on the Services. When you purchase such an Original Work of Art through the Services, you are purchasing the work from the Member identified on the listing for such work and not from JV Studio Art. Prices for Original Works of Art will be as specified on the applicable listing. You acknowledge that prices do not include shipping and handling charges (unless specifically indicated on the Site) or applicable Taxes (defined below), if any, for which you are responsible and which will be separately identified on your receipt. JV Studio Art and/or its third party service providers will collect your billing and shipping information and process your payment. Certain Original Works of Art (including, but not limited to, oversized works and sculptures) may require additional shipping and handling charges and special arrangements. The Member identified on the listing of the Original Work of Art will ship the purchased work directly to you. The terms and conditions of JV Studio Art’s then-current Return Policy apply to any Original Works of Art that you purchase through the Services.

Similarly, if you are a Member and desire to purchase an Original Work of Art for which another Member has submitted a listing, or a similar work or custom piece related to a listed work of art, you may not purchase such Original Work of Art from such Member independent of the JV Studio Art and the Services.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold JV Studio Art, 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, JV Studio Art 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, JV Studio Art Content and Member Content remains with you. Neither JV Studio Art nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services, JV Studio Art 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, JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services, JV Studio Art Content or Member Content exceed: (i) if you are a Member who has sold Original Works of Art and has received any Artist Revenue Share from JV Studio Art for the sale of your Original Works of Art 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, the total payments that you made to JV Studio Art for the Original Works of Art that are the subject of a claim. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art used herein are trademarks or registered trademarks of JV Studio Art 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 of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You and we expressly agree that any claim or dispute must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court or arbitration located in Hamilton County, Tennessee, 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, fill out form Legal Question 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 (90) 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 located in Hamilton County, Tennessee. You and we acknowledge that this Agreement to Arbitrate affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under this Agreement to Arbitrate (despite any other choice of law provision). 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 our registered agent.

Claims

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at adr.org/consumer or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

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. 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 filling out form Legal Question. 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 of 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.

The Services are controlled and operated by JV Studio Art from the United States. 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.

Entire Agreement

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

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without JV Studio Art’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. JV Studio Art 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 to required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given: (i) by JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art 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 JV Studio Art. 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.
