Artist agreement
This is not a contract. It is a draft outline for counsel.
- Parties. The gallery operator (legal name / DBA to be filled in) and the artist.
- What may be listed. Original works and limited-edition prints the artist has the right to sell.
- Commission. The gallery retains 18% of the item price. The artist receives the remaining 82%. Card / payment-processor fees: the gallery covers those fees out of its 18%; they are not taken from the artist’s share. This is the default and can be changed.
- How a sale is made. The buyer pays the gallery. The gallery pays the artist on a schedule still to be set. Artists do not invoice buyers directly through this site.
- Payouts. Stripe Connect, PayPal, or another method Tony approves — accounts are not configured on this staging site.
- Fulfillment. Direct ship by the artist; local pickup in Hornell ([Pickup address and hours coming soon]); or consignment, under terms counsel will write. Winery pickup is a later option and is not offered yet. No winery is named as a partner.
- Limited editions. The artist states the edition size and does not exceed it.
- Returns and damage. Policy still to be written. This page does not invent a returns promise.
- Images and promotion. The artist keeps copyright. The gallery gets a limited license to display images to sell that work.
- Certificate of authenticity. Sold work is intended to include a certificate, under terms still in legal review.
- Removal. How either party ends listing, and how consigned work comes back, to be written by counsel.
- Tax. The artist is responsible for income tax. Sales-tax collection follows the Sales tax page and professional advice. This is not tax advice.
