Join the UCanBuyArt.com Artist Community
We are always searching for new talent, however, we are careful about
the artists we choose. It is important that we retain our high standards.
If you are an artist,
would like to join UCanBuyArt.com, and become part of the UCanBuyArt.com community,
then please review our contract agreement:
Contract Agreement:
This contact outlines the arrangement of artists who wish
to list on UCanBuyArt.com. It is set up to protect the interests of the
artist and of the site. Global Net Trade agrees to provide the following
services:
- Master card and Visa credit card transaction capability for the selling
of the artist's work on the site.
- A biography page on the artist and a page(s) for a gallery of the artist's
work.
- Special UCanBuyArt.com e-mail accounts for the artists at a charge of
$5/month. It is not necessary for the artist to have this e-mail account.
- A prompt message to the artist when one of their items is sold.
- The ability to change the items listed. Artists need to ask for username and password for the database access where they can make modifications to their galleries.
- Artist promotion on the World Wide Web.
- Free database access to add, remove, modify the artist galleries and biography pages. The artists can add an unlimited number of paintings for sale. However, all artwork must be hand made one of a kind work.
An artist who wishes to be listed on UCanBuyArt.com must
agree to the following conditions:
- The items listed on the site for sale can not be sold in another venue
while listed. If the artist wishes to sell the work in another venue,
then the item must first be unlisted. To de-list the item 3 days notice
must be given to process the request. This is a necessary condition as
it prevents purchasers from buying a non-available item. If the item is
sold within 30 days of de-listing the item the commission applies.
- The artist is responsible for the delivery of the artwork to the client.
- Once the purchaser has approved the item, Global Net Trade (the parent company of UCanBuyArt.com) will
pay the artist for the cost of the item minus the commission and credit
card handling fees.
- The artist must ship the item within 5 business days after the receipt
of order.
- Global Net Trade retains the right to refuse listing privileges to
artists who are deemed as unacceptable or who make fraudulent claims or
who submit work which is not their own.
