Seller Terms and Conditions

Offering Art for Sale

Any member may offer their art for sale on a physical product on the website by appointing Artsider to facilitate the transaction on the terms set out in the following Seller terms. Those terms will apply from the date on which you offer your first art for sale on a physical product and your continued use of the website will constitute ongoing agreement to the terms therein as updated from time to time.

Paying you after your artwork is sold

The retail price charged to customers who purchase your product is made up of the base price, your creator margin (“your margin”), and sales taxes where relevant. Artsider will also charge the customer a postage and handling fee. The base price is the fee Artsider charges to manufacture the product (inclusive of tax). When making each individual work available for sale you are able to select any percentage markup you wish, greater than or equal to 0, above the base price. The percentage markup selected by you on the website for each of your products is used to calculate the dollar value of your margin for each sale. You may change the percentage markup above the base price at any time by changing your selection on the website. We may change the base price at any time without specific notice to you and this will affect the dollar value of your margin, which is calculated as a percentage of the base price (e.g. if we increase our base price, your margin will also increase). The retail price will not change on an individual sale after a customer has submitted an order to the website. Artsider will send you a notification in your Activity Feed after an order has been placed for your products. Sales information is also listed within your Account Administrative section under ‘Earnings’. You authorize Artsider to collect, hold and distribute the retail price and postage and handling fees (“sale proceeds”) from customers on the terms set out in this clause. You authorize Artsider to deduct the base price and the postage and handling fee from the sales proceeds for your products before distributing your margin, and tax where relevant, to you. Earnings get paid every 15th of the month via a Paypal deposit with a 30 day per purchase grace period from date of sale. For example, if you sell a product on January 10th, it is clear on February 10th and then you get paid on February 15th. Artsider will not be liable for any loss suffered by you if you provide us with incorrect details in relation to the payment method. It is your responsibility to ensure Artsider has current details of your postal address and bank account details. If we are unable to pay you because you have given us incorrect details or your details are out of date, we will hold your margin for up to 12 months from the payment date. If you have not notified Artsider of any amendment to the payment method details in that time, you authorize us to donate your margin proceeds to a charity of our choice.

Setting up your prices

The artist decides the final retail price. Artsider sets a base price to produce the finished product. The artist adds their own percentage markup. Example: 20% artist markup on a large stretched canvas: $85 base price + $17 markup = $102 You can change your markup to suit your products at any time from your admin interface to suit your products, choosing to price individually or apply the same markup to all products for that work. If you are posting an artwork as 'private' with a 0% markup for your products and you are buying your own prints while logged in, you will only pay the base price for your products. Unlike typical art gallery, Artsider does not charge the artists any fee to sell, or any commission on any of their sales. Instead, we simply set the base price of the product and let the artist set the retail value.

Taxation Responsibility

If tax is to be collected each party is responsible and will account for any taxes imposed by governments or governing authorities, and related accounting or audit requirements arising out of, as a result of, incidental to, or in connection with the use of this Site and with obligations under this agreement. Artsider will collect and report any sales tax from any customer shipping to the state of California.

Participation to Contests, Collaborations and Creative Invites

Artsider may operate contests, collaborations and creative invites (collectively, “Collaborations”) through the Site and Services. You should carefully review the rules (e.g. the “Official Rules”) of each Collaboration in which you participate through the Site and Services, as they may contain additional important information about Artsider rights to and ownership of the submissions you make as a result of your participation in such Collaborations. To the extent that the terms and conditions of any Official Rules conflict with these Terms, the terms and conditions of the Official Rules will control.

In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. - Improperly Filed Claims - All claims you bring against Artsider must be resolved in accordance with this Resolution of Disputes Section. All claims filed or brought contrary to the Resolution of Disputes Section shall be considered improperly filed.
