We license ("Artwork") from local, national and international artists ("Artists").

Collectors can, in addition, receive personalized recommendations of Artwork, receive news and other updates from Artists, receive special invitations to events and gallery openings, create and view online collections of Artwork and use any other services that we generally offer to Collectors. Collectors may “purchase” digital Artwork subject to the terms and conditions hereof. We reserve the right to add or delete features as Our website evolves and changes over time. For example, we may introduce a right for Collectors to rent individual Artworks from us, pay a periodic fee for subscription-based access to galleries, and create a secondary marketplace to resell the Artwork to third-party Collectors (collectively, the “Services”). In order to obtain Usage Rights and make private use of Artwork, Collectors must have a registered Blackdove Account.

WHAT DO OUR COLLECTORS PURCHASE

Subject to the restrictions contained in the following Paragraph hereof, when a Collector “purchases” Artwork, a Collector either pays a one time purchase price for a specific Artwork and obtains a limited, non-exclusive perpetual right to use that Artwork subject to the terms and conditions herein(“Usage Rights”) or enters into a Subscription of Artwork with Usage Rights which expire after a period of time as set forth in the terms and conditions of each Subscription. Usage Rights are obtained once we place the purchased Artwork and its Certificate of Authenticity, the name of the Artwork, the Artist’s name and the Collector's name, in the digital storage file that We allocate to the relevant Collector’s Account on our Website (your, "Private Gallery"). Usage Rights grant each Collector a perpetual, limited license to (i) access, use and display the Artwork in its Private Gallery and (ii) display the Artwork’s Certificate of Authenticity on up to five (5) devices owned or controlled by the Collector that is capable of doing so. The method of using, displaying or accessing each Artwork will vary according to the nature of the Artwork in question.

CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

The purchase of an Artwork, and thus the Collector’s Usage Rights, are conditional upon the Collector’s payment to us of the price payable to us for that Artwork (and any applicable sales tax thereon). A Collector’s Usage Rights do not permit the Collector and each Collector agrees not to, directly or indirectly, authorize, permit or be involved in (a) printing or creating any other physical representation of an Artwork, (b) projecting the Artwork so that it is viewable other than directly on the screen of the Collector’s device except in the context of personal and domestic use (c) distributing or transmitting Artwork to third parties, or making it available for the use of others (including, but not limited to internet or file transmissions), or (d) exhibiting, distributing, re-selling, licensing or otherwise commercially exploiting the Artwork or (c) using the Artwork in a way which limits Artist’s rights on it or in whatsoever way that is not permitted under the Law of Copyright or this Agreement. Usage Rights are to be enjoyed only on or through devices that are owned or controlled by the Collector. Artwork may not be compatible with all devices, operating systems and media. Collectors must ensure that the purchased Artwork is compatible with the devices, operating systems and media used by the Collector (whether the Collector is the subscribing or purchasing Collector or someone else) before purchasing it by consulting our Frequently Asked Questions. Any problem arising from the compatibility of the Artwork with any devices, operating systems or media after the purchase is solely Your responsibility.

We have the right to include invisible digital watermarking or other coding in Artwork in order to enable the linking of an Artwork to its Certificate of Authenticity and to track potential infringements of an Artist’s rights.

You acknowledge that the purchase or subscription price of an Artwork may vary from time to time and may be changed in Our sole discretion based on the number of pieces sold, popularity of an Artist and other factors that We may take under consideration. We expressly reserve the right to discontinue the purchase or subscription of an Artwork at any time. Such termination of purchase or subscription shall not affect a Collector’s Usage Rights, but shall mean only that it shall no longer be available for further purchase or subscription on the Website.
