ArtyTraders Copyright Policy

  1. Ownership of Copyright

When artists or galleries upload artworks to the ArtyTraders platform, they retain full ownership of the copyright for their works. This includes the right to reproduce, distribute, and display the work in any form, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in a separate legal agreement. ArtyTraders does not claim ownership of the intellectual property of any uploaded artwork.

  1. Rights for Buyers

When a collector or investor purchases a piece of artwork through the ArtyTraders platform, they acquire the physical artwork or a share of it but do not receive any intellectual property rights related to the artwork. This means:

  • Buyers may not reproduce, distribute, or use the artwork for any commercial purposes without the artist’s explicit permission.
  • The purchase does not grant the buyer any licensing rights for digital or physical reproduction of the artwork.
  1. Artist’s Permission for Use on Platform

By uploading artwork to ArtyTraders, artists and galleries grant the platform a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display the images of their artwork. This license allows ArtyTraders to use the images for promotional purposes, marketing, and inclusion on the platform’s website and mobile apps.

  1. Copyright Infringement

ArtyTraders takes copyright infringement seriously. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide us with a written notification. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) or equivalent laws in other regions, we will respond promptly to remove or disable access to the infringing material.

  1. Repeat Infringements

Accounts that repeatedly infringe on the copyrights of others will be subject to suspension or termination of access to the platform.
