Prices & Sales practice:

All prices shown on the Art marketshop website are in Australian Dollars (AUD) or US Dollars (USD). Prices of artworks shown on the Art marketshop website are set at the discretion of the Artist.
All artwork prices displayed on Art marketshop must be equal to, or lower than artwork offered for sale elsewhere. This means Artists explicitly agree to not price artwork listed on Art marketshop at a lower price on personal websites, exhibitions, other online galleries & marketshops.
By using Art marketshop, Artists are required to complete all sales on Art marketshop which come from a Art marketshop lead. This includes studio visits as organised by Art marketshop, artist to collector introductions, Art marketshop initiated exhibitions and leads to an Artist directly eg: via social media where buyers are known to have discovered the artist via Art marketshop. Best practice for artists who receive direct enquiries is to ask where the potential buyer discovered their artwork. In cases where the buyer advises Art marketshop then the artist should direct the buyer to complete the transaction on Art marketshop.

Taxation responsibility:

Each party is responsible for their own taxes associated with each transaction 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 obligations under this agreement. We recommend that you consult with your tax advisor as to the application of taxes for you, as the seller of the art. This may include GST and other transactional taxes.
Art marketshop will not collect or pay taxes on your behalf as Art marketshop is merely acting as an agent in facilitating the sale of your product to the customers. You authorize Art marketshop to deduct the base amount (which includes Art marketshop’s margin for facilitation services, including tax where applicable) from the sales proceeds for your artwork before distributing your margin (which will include tax where applicable). The amounts distributed to you will be deemed to be inclusive of any taxes, if applicable. You will at all times be solely responsible for reporting and remitting any tax liabilities arising out of the sale of your art together with any potential interest or penalties that any tax authority may levy as a result of non-compliance.
If you have an Australian Business Number (ABN) you may submit your ABN to the website where requested. If you do not have an ABN, or if you elect not to submit your ABN to the website, you will be required to provide more information about the circumstances under which you are offering your art for sale on the website, including whether any of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) exemptions apply to you. If this is not provided you permit Art marketshop in its capacity as agent to withhold the highest rate of tax (currently 47%) from any payments due to you.
You are required to notify Art marketshop if you are registered for GST, as such any payment price set by you will be inclusive of GST. Art marketshop will issue a tax invoice on your behalf and will ensure any copies of the invoices will also be sent to the artist. By using the Art marketshop platform to sell art you agree that you will not issue an invoice to the member separately.
For the avoidance of doubt, all tax-related reporting responsibilities by you to relevant tax authorities are entirely your responsibility.

The Art marketshop logo is a trademark of Art marketshop. Use of the Art marketshop logo is not authorised without express written permission from Art marketshop.

Copyright:

All content on the Art marketshop website is copyright of either Art marketshop or the Artist. Content must not be downloaded or used without express written permission from Art marketshop, or the Artist where the content is their own work.

Warranties:

Disputes & Release:

Art marketshop is released from any claims arising from disputes between users and members of the website, including disputes between Artists and Purchasers, between Artists and Artists, and between Purchasers and Purchasers.

Liability:

The user assumes all responsibility and risk for use of the Art marketshop website including and without limitation any of the content or information contained therein. Art marketshop accepts no liability for any failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions of Use where such failure is due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Including your work in promotions:
From time to time Art marketshop may run sales and promotions sitewide or to specific collectors. If your art is sold during this promotion a discount is applied by Art marketshop to your listed artwork of 10 to 15%. The discount is designed to run special campaigns that will generate even more engagement with our buyers and increase your exposure. The discount also allows greater integration with industry buyers such as interior designers, encouraging them to work with Art marketshop and artists. If a promotional discount code is redeemed, the discount will be deducted from the total price of the artwork and the usual 67/33 split will then be calculated. This means that you as the artist and Art marketshop will share the discount.

ArtMoney:

By accepting Art marketshop’s Ts & Cs, you agree to and accept the possibility of purchasers using ArtMoney, an interest-free loan for purchasing artwork and sharing ArtMoney’s 10% commission fee with Art marketshop.
How it works:

  • The purchaser pays a minimum 10% deposit upfront and pays the remaining funds to ArtMoney over an agreed period of time in monthly instalments.
  • The purchaser pays a minimum 10% deposit upfront and pays the remaining funds to ArtMoney over an agreed period of time in monthly instalments.
  • Once the transaction is confirmed, which usually takes 3-6 working days, the funds are paid to Art marketshop and the order is confirmed and can be dispatched. The artists get paid in the normal time frame as a standard transaction done with credit card or PayPal.
  • ArtMoney charges 10% of the total artwork value as commission. They do this by deducting their commission from the payment to Art marketshop. This cost will be shared by the artist and Art marketshop. In effect the artist has a 10% reduction in payout and Art marketshop has a 10% reduction in commission
  • It has the same effect as if a 10% coupon was applied to the sale
  • The usual Art marketshop returns policy still applies.
  • Zip and Afterpay

    By accepting Art marketshop’s Ts & Cs, you agree to and accept the possibility of purchasers using Afterpay or Zip, an interest-free ‘buy now, pay later’ payment plan for purchasing artwork and sharing their commission fee with Art marketshop.
    How it works:

  • The purchaser uses Afterpay or Zip and takes out a loan directly Afterpay or Zip and repays them over time.
  • Once the transaction is confirmed, which is (almost) immediate, the order is confirmed and can be dispatched.  The artists get paid in the normal time frame as a standard transaction done with credit card or PayPal.
  • Afterpay and Zip charge a commission to the seller (which varies based on loan size, and between Zip & Afterpay). This commission is deducted from the payment made to Art marketshop. A 5% charge will be shared with the artists and result in a 5% reduction in payout to the artist. It has the same effect as if a 5% coupon was applied to the sale.
  • The usual Art marketshop returns policy still applies.
  • Art marketshop Layby

    By accepting Art marketshop’s Ts & Cs, you agree to the possibility of purchasers using Art marketshop layby payment plan for purchasing artwork.
    How it works:

  • The purchaser uses Art marketshop Layby on the orders page and confirms order.
  • Once the transaction is confirmed, they pay in 4 equal fortnightly payments to Art marketshop (starting on the day of the order).
  • Artist holds the artwork for this period (6 weeks).
  • Once the full payment is received, the artwork is shipped out to the purchaser and artist is paid 7 days after delivery.
  • Our usual returns policy still applies.
  • Communication with Artists

    When communicating with an artist directly via Art marketshop, you, the collector, agree to be respectful and fair to the artist. If any participant is found to be abusive, Art marketshop reserves the right to intervene and discontinue the accounts of participants involved.
