any applicable fees will be clearly explained before the Seller chooses to use those services.

By encouraging secure packaging, timely dispatch, tracked shipping, and clear communication, we aim to protect Artwork during transit, reduce disputes, and build lasting trust between Buyers and Sellers.
We recognise that every piece of Artwork is unique, and we encourage Sellers to package and ship each order with the same care and attention that went into creating it.
11. Customer Service, Communication and Seller Standards
Art is Lit believes that outstanding customer service is an essential part of every successful creative business.
Sellers play a key role in creating a positive buying experience by communicating professionally, responding promptly, fulfilling orders responsibly, and treating Buyers with courtesy and respect.

- free from offensive, abusive, or misleading language.

- Artwork;
- dispatch;
- delivery;
- packaging;
- care instructions;

Where an issue cannot be resolved directly, Sellers should cooperate with Art is Lit during any investigation or dispute resolution process.

This includes:
- accurate listings;
- careful packaging;
- timely dispatch;

Positive customer experiences help strengthen trust across the Platform and support the long-term success of Sellers.

Sellers must not:
- request fake reviews;
- offer incentives in exchange for positive reviews;

- submit reviews for their own listings; or

- dispatch times;
- communication with Buyers;
- cancellation rates;
- dispute history;

These factors may be considered when determining continued eligibility to sell, participation in promotional opportunities, or future marketplace features.

Sellers are encouraged to make reasonable use of these resources to continually improve the quality of their products, listings, and customer service.
11.8 Respectful Community
Art is Lit values a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive creative community.
Sellers must not:
- harass, threaten, intimidate, or abuse Buyers or other Users;
- discriminate against any individual or group;
- publish offensive or unlawful content;
- deliberately damage the reputation of another Seller;
- misuse the Platform’s communication tools; or

- issue a warning;
- request improvements;
- temporarily restrict certain Seller features;

By encouraging professional communication, honest trading, and respect for Buyers and fellow Sellers, we aim to foster a community where independent artists and creative businesses can thrive.
We believe that excellent customer service is not only good business—it is an important part of building trust, encouraging repeat customers, and strengthening the reputation of the entire Art is Lit marketplace.
12. Returns, Refunds and Seller Responsibilities
Art is Lit is committed to providing a fair and transparent returns and refunds process that protects Buyers, Sellers, and the integrity of the marketplace.
Sellers are expected to cooperate with Buyers and Art is Lit when a return, refund, or dispute arises and to comply with this Agreement, the Terms & Conditions, and the Returns & Refunds Policy.
12.1 Buyer Inspection Period
Eligible orders are subject to the 48-hour Buyer Inspection Period, which begins when the shipping carrier confirms delivery.
During this period:
- payment will normally remain on hold;
- Buyers may inspect the Artwork;
- Buyers may report qualifying issues in accordance with the Returns & Refunds Policy; and
- Sellers should be prepared to respond promptly if contacted regarding an issue.
The Buyer Inspection Period forms part of Art is Lit’s Buyer Protection process and helps ensure fairness for both Buyers and Sellers.
12.2 Seller Cooperation
Where a Buyer reports a qualifying issue, Sellers are expected to:
- respond promptly and professionally;
- cooperate with Art is Lit during any investigation;
- provide any reasonably requested information or evidence;
- assist in resolving the matter fairly; and
- comply with any reasonable requests relating to the dispute.
Failure to cooperate may affect the outcome of the dispute and the Seller’s standing on the Platform.
12.3 Evidence
Where reasonably requested, Sellers should provide evidence including, where available:
- photographs of the Artwork before dispatch;
- photographs of the packaging;
- proof of dispatch;
- tracking information;
- delivery confirmation;
- communications relating to the order; and

- accept the authorised return;
- cooperate with the agreed return process;
- inspect the returned Artwork promptly upon receipt;
- notify Art is Lit promptly if any issue arises with the returned item; and
- comply with any reasonable instructions issued by Art is Lit during the return process.

- refund the Buyer using the original payment method;
- adjust or recover Seller payouts where appropriate;
- offset approved refunds against future payouts where permitted by law and this Agreement; or
- take any other reasonable action necessary to implement the approved outcome.
Sellers acknowledge that Art is Lit may administer refunds on behalf of the marketplace where appropriate.
12.6 Return Shipping
Where a return is approved, responsibility for return shipping costs will be determined in accordance with the Returns & Refunds Policy and applicable law.
Where a Seller is responsible for the issue—for example, because the Artwork was materially misdescribed, incorrectly supplied, or inadequately packaged—the Seller may be responsible for reasonable return shipping costs.
12.7 Seller Responsibilities
Sellers should take reasonable steps to minimise the likelihood of returns by:
- writing accurate listings;
- providing clear photographs;
- describing dimensions accurately;
- packaging Artwork carefully;
- dispatching promptly;
- communicating professionally with Buyers; and
- providing care instructions where appropriate.
Preventing avoidable issues benefits both Buyers and Sellers and helps maintain confidence in the Platform.

Art is Lit recognises that fraudulent activity may affect both Buyers and Sellers.
Where fraud is reasonably suspected, Art is Lit may:
- request additional evidence;
- delay payouts;
- investigate the transaction;

These measures are intended to protect honest Buyers, responsible Sellers, and the integrity of the marketplace.

- the listing;
- communications between the Buyer and Seller;

Art is Lit believes that a fair returns and refunds process strengthens confidence throughout the marketplace.
By encouraging cooperation, honest communication, and prompt resolution of genuine issues, we aim to protect Buyers, support responsible Sellers, and maintain a trusted marketplace where creativity and professionalism can thrive.
13. Intellectual Property and Seller Content
Art is Lit is committed to protecting the intellectual property rights of artists, creators, and other rights holders.
Sellers retain ownership of their original creative work while granting Art is Lit the limited rights necessary to operate, promote, and improve the Platform.
13.1 Ownership of Artwork
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Sellers retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in the Artwork they create and upload to the Platform.
Selling physical Artwork transfers ownership of the physical item to the Buyer but does not transfer copyright or any other intellectual property rights, unless the Seller expressly states otherwise in writing.
Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership of the Seller’s intellectual property to Art is Lit.
13.2 Seller Content
Sellers remain responsible for all content they upload or publish through the Platform, including:
- Artwork images;
- product photographs;
- listing descriptions;
- titles;
- biographies;
- logos;
- banners;
- videos;
- digital files;
- marketing content; and
- any other material published through the Seller Account.
By uploading content, the Seller confirms that they have the necessary rights and permissions to use that content.
13.3 Licence Granted to Art is Lit
By uploading or publishing Seller Content, the Seller grants Art is Lit a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable licence to:
- display the Artwork and Seller Content on the Platform;
- reproduce listings for the operation of the marketplace;
- promote the Seller and their Artwork;
- feature Artwork in newsletters, emails, blogs, and social media;
- use Artwork in advertising and marketing campaigns relating to the Platform;
- resize, crop, compress, or otherwise optimise content for technical purposes;
- create thumbnails and preview images; and
- otherwise operate, maintain, improve, and promote the Art is Lit marketplace.
This licence is granted solely for purposes connected with the operation and promotion of Art is Lit and does not transfer ownership of the Seller’s intellectual property.
13.4 Duration of the Licence
The licence granted under this Agreement continues while the Seller’s content is available on the Platform.
Following removal of a listing or closure of a Seller Account, Art is Lit will cease using the Seller’s content within a reasonable period, except where continued use is reasonably necessary for:
- legal compliance;
- dispute resolution;
- maintaining transaction records;
- archived marketing materials already published;
- backup systems; or
- legitimate business record-keeping.
13.5 Seller Warranties
The Seller warrants that:
- they own the intellectual property rights in the Artwork or have the legal authority to sell and publish it;
- the Artwork does not knowingly infringe the rights of another person;
- all uploaded content has been lawfully obtained;
- the listing does not falsely claim authorship;
- all necessary permissions have been obtained where third-party content is used; and
- the content complies with this Agreement and applicable law.
13.6 Copyright Infringement
If Art is Lit receives a complaint alleging that Seller Content infringes another person’s intellectual property rights, we may:
- request further information from the Seller;
- request evidence of ownership or permission;
- temporarily suspend the listing;
- remove the content while the matter is investigated;
- restrict access to the Seller Account where appropriate; or
- take any other reasonable action necessary to comply with applicable law or protect the rights of others.
Knowingly submitting infringing content may result in suspension or termination of selling privileges.
13.7 Buyer’s Rights
Unless expressly stated otherwise in the listing, Buyers purchase ownership of the physical Artwork only.
Buyers do not automatically acquire:
- copyright;
- commercial use rights;
- reproduction rights;
- licensing rights;
- rights to create derivative works; or
- any other intellectual property rights.
Any transfer of intellectual property rights must be agreed separately in writing between the Seller and the Buyer.
13.8 Moral Rights
Where recognised by applicable law, nothing in this Agreement requires a Seller to waive any moral rights they hold in relation to their Artwork.
This includes, where applicable, the right to be identified as the creator of the Artwork and the right to object to derogatory treatment of their work.
13.9 Respect for Creativity
Art is Lit values originality, innovation, and artistic expression.
We encourage Sellers to respect the intellectual property rights of fellow artists and creators while protecting and promoting their own creative work responsibly.
13.10 Our Commitment
Art is Lit believes that artists should remain in control of their creativity.
Our role is to provide a trusted marketplace where creative work can be discovered, promoted, and sold while respecting the intellectual property rights of everyone involved.
We are committed to supporting creators, responding fairly to intellectual property concerns, and helping build a marketplace founded on creativity, integrity, and mutual respect.
14. AI-Generated Artwork and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence
Art is Lit welcomes innovation and recognises that artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important creative tool.
We believe Buyers should be able to make informed purchasing decisions and understand how Artwork has been created. For this reason, transparency is a fundamental principle of the Art is Lit marketplace.
Sellers are responsible for accurately describing the role of AI in the creation of any Artwork offered for sale.
14.1 AI-Assisted and AI-Generated Artwork
Where artificial intelligence has been used in the creative process, Sellers must accurately describe the Artwork.
For the purposes of this Agreement:
- AI-Assisted Artwork means Artwork where artificial intelligence has been used as one creative tool within a process involving significant human creativity, judgement, or artistic input.
- AI-Generated Artwork means Artwork that has been created primarily through artificial intelligence systems, with limited or no substantial creative modification by the Seller after generation.
Where there is uncertainty, Sellers should choose the description that most accurately reflects the creative process and provide additional explanation within the listing where appropriate.
14.2 Disclosure Requirements
Sellers must clearly disclose where AI has played a material role in the creation of Artwork.
Where applicable, listings should accurately indicate whether the Artwork is:
- entirely created by the Seller without the use of AI;
- AI-assisted;
- AI-generated; or
- created using a combination of traditional and AI-assisted techniques.
This information should be presented clearly so that Buyers can make informed purchasing decisions.
14.3 Seller Responsibilities
Sellers remain fully responsible for all Artwork they list, regardless of whether AI has been used.
By listing AI-related Artwork, the Seller confirms that:
- they have the legal right to use, publish, and sell the Artwork;
- they have complied with the terms of any AI tools or services used;
- the listing accurately describes the role of AI;
- the Artwork does not knowingly infringe the intellectual property rights of another person; and
- all information provided is accurate and not misleading.
The use of AI does not reduce the Seller’s responsibilities under this Agreement.
14.4 Intellectual Property and AI
Because laws relating to artificial intelligence continue to evolve, Sellers are responsible for ensuring that their use of AI complies with applicable laws, intellectual property requirements, and the licence terms of any AI platform they use.
Where legal ownership or licensing restrictions apply, Sellers must not upload or sell Artwork unless they have the necessary rights to do so.
14.5 Misrepresentation
Sellers must not:
- describe AI-generated Artwork as entirely handmade or traditionally created if that would be misleading;
- conceal the material use of AI where disclosure is required under this Agreement;
- falsely claim authorship of another person’s work;
- knowingly upload AI-generated content that infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights; or
- otherwise mislead Buyers regarding the origin or creation of the Artwork.
Knowingly providing false or misleading information may result in listing removal, suspension of Seller privileges, or termination of the Seller Account.
14.6 Review of AI Listings
Art is Lit may review listings where there are reasonable concerns regarding:
- inaccurate AI disclosures;
- misleading descriptions;
- authenticity;
- copyright concerns;
- intellectual property complaints; or
- compliance with this Agreement.
Where appropriate, we may request additional information before deciding whether a listing should remain on the Platform.
14.7 Future AI Standards
As technology and applicable laws evolve, Art is Lit may introduce additional guidance, policies, categories, or verification processes relating to AI-generated or AI-assisted Artwork.
Where material changes affect Sellers, reasonable notice will be provided in accordance with this Agreement and the Terms & Conditions.
14.8 Our Commitment
Art is Lit believes that traditional, handmade, digital, and AI-assisted creativity can all have a place within a trusted marketplace when presented honestly and transparently.
Our objective is not to favour one creative method over another, but to ensure that Buyers receive clear information and that all Sellers compete on a fair, transparent, and respectful basis.
By encouraging openness about the creative process, we aim to support innovation while maintaining confidence in the Art is Lit marketplace.
15. Seller Performance, Quality Standards and Marketplace Recognition
Art is Lit is committed to supporting Sellers in building successful creative businesses while maintaining a trusted, high-quality marketplace for Buyers.
To achieve this, we may monitor certain performance indicators and encourage continuous improvement through guidance, education, and recognition programmes.
Our approach is intended to promote excellence, reward professionalism, and help Sellers provide an outstanding customer experience.
15.1 Performance Standards
Sellers are expected to maintain professional standards throughout their use of the Platform.
Performance may be assessed by considering factors including:
- order fulfilment;

- communication with Buyers;
- accuracy of listings;
- customer feedback and reviews;
- cancellation rates;
- refund and dispute history;
- compliance with this Agreement;
- compliance with Platform policies; and
- other reasonable indicators relevant to maintaining marketplace quality.
No single performance indicator will automatically determine a Seller’s standing. Art is Lit will consider the overall circumstances and act reasonably.

- responding promptly to Buyer enquiries;

These may include, for example:
- Verified Seller;
- Featured Artist;
- Independent Artist;
- Gallery Partner;
- International Seller; or
- other recognition programmes introduced by Art is Lit from time to time.
Recognition programmes are intended to highlight positive contributions to the marketplace and do not guarantee increased visibility, sales, or commercial success.
Art is Lit may determine the eligibility criteria for such programmes and may review, suspend, or withdraw recognition where those criteria are no longer met.
15.4 Seller Performance Information
Art is Lit may make performance information available through the Seller Dashboard to help Sellers monitor and improve their business.
This information may include:
- dispatch performance;
- response times;
- order completion rates;
- customer satisfaction;
- review summaries;
- return and refund trends;
- repeat customer information; and
- other relevant business insights.
Performance information is provided to support continuous improvement and should not be regarded as a guarantee of future performance.
15.5 Marketplace Support
Art is Lit may provide educational resources, webinars, articles, guides, templates, or other support materials to assist Sellers in developing their businesses.
Participation in these resources is voluntary unless otherwise stated.
15.6 Failure to Meet Standards
Where a Seller consistently fails to meet reasonable marketplace standards, Art is Lit may, acting reasonably and proportionately:
- provide guidance or recommendations;
- request improvements;
- issue a warning;
- temporarily restrict certain Seller features;
- suspend selling privileges;
- remove listings where appropriate; or
- take other action permitted under this Agreement.
Except where immediate action is necessary to protect Buyers, comply with legal obligations, or maintain the security or integrity of the Platform, Sellers will normally be given an opportunity to address concerns before more serious action is taken.
15.7 Fair Assessment
Art is Lit recognises that exceptional circumstances may affect Seller performance.
When reviewing performance, we may take into account relevant factors such as:
- verified shipping disruptions;
- Force Majeure Events;
- technical issues affecting the Platform;
- serious illness or other exceptional personal circumstances notified to us; or
- other information reasonably relevant to the matter.
Our aim is to assess Seller performance fairly, consistently, and proportionately.
15.8 Our Commitment
Art is Lit believes that the success of our marketplace depends on the success of our Sellers.
By encouraging high standards, recognising excellence, providing practical support, and promoting continuous improvement, we aim to create a marketplace where artists and creative businesses can grow with confidence while Buyers enjoy a consistently positive experience.
We are committed to treating Sellers fairly, acting transparently, and fostering a creative community built on trust, professionalism, and mutual respect.
16. Suspension, Restriction and Termination of Seller Accounts
Art is Lit is committed to maintaining a trusted, secure, and professional marketplace for Buyers and Sellers.
Where necessary, we may suspend, restrict, or terminate Seller Accounts to protect the Platform, comply with legal obligations, or uphold the standards set out in this Agreement.
Our objective is to act fairly, reasonably, and proportionately, taking into account the circumstances of each case.
16.1 Grounds for Restriction or Suspension
Art is Lit may temporarily restrict or suspend some or all Seller privileges where we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

- complete identity or business verification;
- investigate repeated customer complaints;
- investigate intellectual property concerns;

- sale of counterfeit or prohibited items;
- serious or repeated deception of Buyers;
- misuse of payment systems;

16.4 Seller Notification
Where reasonably practicable and legally permitted, Art is Lit will inform the Seller of:
- the reason for the action taken;
- any information required from the Seller;
- any steps that may help resolve the issue; and
- whether the decision may be reviewed or appealed.
There may be circumstances where we cannot disclose full details because doing so would:
- compromise security;
- prejudice an investigation;
- infringe the rights of another person; or
- breach legal obligations.
16.5 Seller Appeals
If a Seller believes that a suspension or restriction has been applied in error, they may contact Art is Lit to request a review.
Art is Lit will consider any additional information provided and review the decision fairly, reasonably, and impartially.
Submitting an appeal does not automatically restore selling privileges.
16.6 Effect of Suspension or Termination
Where a Seller Account is suspended or terminated:
- listings may be removed or hidden from public view;
- new sales may be prevented;
- access to Seller features may be restricted;
- outstanding disputes may continue;
- payouts may be delayed while appropriate checks are completed;
- legal obligations that arose before suspension or termination will continue to apply; and
- Art is Lit may retain information where required by law or as explained in the Privacy Policy.
Termination does not automatically cancel completed orders or release either party from obligations relating to existing transactions.
16.7 Voluntary Closure
A Seller may request to close their Seller Account at any time.
Before closing an Account, Sellers should ensure that:
- all accepted orders have been fulfilled;
- outstanding disputes have been resolved where reasonably possible;
- payout information remains accurate until all payments have been processed; and
- any outstanding contractual obligations have been satisfied.
Certain information may continue to be retained where required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
16.8 Reinstatement
Following suspension, Art is Lit may reinstate a Seller Account where:
- the issue has been resolved;
- required verification has been completed;
- the Seller has demonstrated compliance with this Agreement; or
- we are satisfied that reinstatement is appropriate.
Reinstatement is at the reasonable discretion of Art is Lit and may be subject to conditions designed to protect the Platform and its Users.
16.9 Our Commitment
Art is Lit values the contribution that Sellers make to our creative community.
Our intention is always to support Sellers in meeting marketplace standards and to resolve issues through guidance and cooperation wherever reasonably possible.
Where enforcement action becomes necessary, we will seek to act consistently, fairly, transparently, and in accordance with this Agreement, the Terms & Conditions, and applicable law.
17. Compliance with Laws, Taxes and Regulatory Responsibilities
Art is Lit provides a marketplace that enables independent Sellers to offer their Artwork to Buyers.
Each Seller operates independently and is responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, and legal obligations that apply to their business, products, and activities.
Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, agency, employment relationship, or joint venture between Art is Lit and any Seller.
17.1 Compliance with Applicable Laws
Sellers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations relevant to their activities, including those relating to:
- consumer protection;
- business registration and licensing where applicable;
- taxation;
- intellectual property;
- advertising and marketing;
- product safety;
- sanctions and export controls;
- anti-money laundering requirements where applicable; and
- any other laws that apply to their business or Artwork.
Sellers remain responsible for ensuring that the sale of their Artwork is lawful in every country or territory in which they choose to sell.
17.2 Tax Responsibilities
Sellers are solely responsible for:
- determining whether they are required to register for VAT or other taxes;
- charging taxes where legally required;
- reporting income and taxes to the relevant authorities;
- paying any taxes, duties, or similar charges for which they are legally responsible; and
- maintaining accurate financial and business records.
Art is Lit does not provide tax, accounting, or financial advice.
Sellers should obtain independent professional advice where appropriate.
17.3 International Sales
Where Sellers choose to offer international shipping, they are responsible for complying with all applicable international legal requirements, including:
- customs declarations;
- export documentation;
- trade restrictions;
- sanctions;
- import and export controls; and
- any licensing requirements applicable to their Artwork.
Unless otherwise stated in the listing, Buyers remain responsible for any import duties, taxes, customs charges, or similar fees payable in their country of destination.
17.4 Product Safety and Accuracy
Sellers are responsible for ensuring that their Artwork and related listings:
- comply with applicable product safety laws where relevant;
- are accurately described;
- do not contain misleading information;
- comply with consumer protection legislation; and
- include any legally required warnings or instructions.
Where Artwork requires special handling, care instructions, or safety information, Sellers should include this clearly within the listing or provide it with the order.
17.5 Regulatory Cooperation
Where reasonably required by law, regulation, payment providers, or competent authorities, Sellers agree to cooperate with Art is Lit by providing information or documentation reasonably necessary to:
- verify compliance;
- investigate suspected unlawful activity;
- respond to legal requests;
- comply with payment provider obligations; or
- fulfil reporting obligations imposed by law.
Art is Lit will only request information that is reasonably necessary for these purposes.
17.6 Changes in the Law
Laws and regulations may change over time.
Sellers remain responsible for ensuring that they continue to comply with legal requirements applicable to their business, even where those requirements change after registration.
Art is Lit may update this Agreement or introduce additional compliance requirements where reasonably necessary to reflect changes in applicable law or regulatory guidance.
17.7 Independent Businesses
Each Seller acknowledges that they operate their own independent business.
Except where expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement:
- Sellers are responsible for their own commercial decisions;
- Sellers determine the prices of their Artwork;
- Sellers remain responsible for their own legal and tax obligations; and
- Sellers are responsible for maintaining any licences, registrations, or insurance appropriate to their business.
Nothing in this Agreement makes Art is Lit responsible for the day-to-day operation of a Seller’s business.

Art is Lit is committed to operating a lawful, transparent, and responsible marketplace.
We will continue to develop our Platform in line with applicable legal and regulatory requirements while supporting Sellers through clear guidance and transparent policies.

19.7 Our Commitment
Art is Lit believes responsibility should rest with the party whose actions caused the relevant loss or legal claim.
This indemnity is intended to allocate responsibility fairly, encourage responsible trading, and protect the long-term integrity of the Art is Lit marketplace while respecting the legal rights of all parties.
