Content
License is governed by the following points:
• Unless items become damaged or lost in digital conveyance, or are found by Company and Customer to substantially differ from expected state, all sales are final after purchase.
• The Artist confirms through the Artist Agreement the image has not been licensed (exclusively or royalty free) to any other parties.
• The Artist confirms the image does not infringe or violate the rights of any person or entity, and both the Customer (Licensee) and Artist are to indemnify and hold TGFY Limited, harmless from any loss, damages, or expenses arising from or related to any claims to the contrary. TGFY Limited is an intermediary that provisions an online marketplace for buyers and sellers of graphic artwork.
• Customer (Licensee) has the unrestricted right to use and exploit the image for private demonstration and display, only, in any physical output medium, throughout the world. However, neither Artist nor TGFY condones use of the image in coordination with any display of hate speech, bullying, child pornography, or violence.
• Exclusive rights belong to the Company (Licensor) in perpetuity and the image asset may not be purchased directly via the Artist.
• Customer (Licensee) is free to edit, alter, add type face/font and/or animate image without limitation or restriction, solely for the purposes of private or commercial display.
• Customer (Licensee) may not resell images under any circumstances.
• License is not transferable or sublicensable.
You may download an image(s) after purchase (and other items displayed on the Services for download) for personal or commercial use, provided that you maintain all copyright and other notices contained in such Content.
It is standard practice for participating artists to have posted images that are available on ZIPART.SHOP on the internet and/or social media prior to posting them on ZIPART.SHOP, or while posted on ZIPART.SHOP. The Artist Agreement requires artists to acknowledge available images have not been previously licensed. The license and Artist Agreement state that once an image is licensed it will no longer be available through the artist, on the platform, or in any other manner. This is part of the value that is exchanged in the ZIPART.SHOP exclusive license. From time-to-time, ZIPART.SHOP also shares available images in its marketing and/or social media – pre-licensed status. This practice facilitates the artist’s and platform’s ability to market and offer the product. As a result, screenshots may exist on the internet and perpetuate beyond the time that any one image is claimed (licensed). Generally speaking, screenshots that are circulating should not be considered a violation. The artist and ZIPART.SHOP should certainly discontinue marketing and/or reposting a licensed image, unless otherwise agreed upon with the licensee. This is not to say either party (ZIPART.SHOP and/or artist) should be expected to take down previous posts, but rather, they should not be reposting, relicensing or marketing any licensed images.
Upon claiming and downloading an image, delivered in PDF format, the licensee (final customer) is provided with an exclusive license, to exhibit graphically the licensed image, a copy of the “Artist Agreement”, a printing guide, and the high resolution version of the image uploaded by the creator.
