11 SERVICE PROVIDERS.

11.1 Relationship.

The engagement of an art related service is a matter directly between the art owner (the “Owner”) and the service provider. However, there are situations when Artley will collect art from the Owner on behalf of the service provider. Upon acceptance of a proposal, the Owner agrees to purchase, and the service provider agrees to deliver the deliverables in accordance with: (i) the agreement between the Owner and service provider, including the proposal, and other terms and conditions as communicated between the Owner and the service provider on the Site or otherwise, and (ii) these Terms (collectively, the “Project Agreement”). Any provision of a Project Agreement in conflict with these Terms is void. Owner and service provider each acknowledge and agree that their relationship is that of independent professionals. Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employer-employee relationship between Owner and service provider. Unless otherwise provided in writing, Artley is not a party to the contracting and fulfillment of any service between an Owner and a service provider. We have no control over and do not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of any services performed or deliverables created, advertised, the qualifications, background, or abilities of service providers, the ability of service providers to perform services, or that a service provider can or will actually complete a work request. We are not responsible for and will not control the manner in which a service provider operates. All rights and obligations for the purchase and sale of deliverables are solely between an Owner and a service provider. Owners and service providers must look solely to the other for enforcement and performance of all the rights and obligations arising from Project Agreements and any other terms, conditions, representations, or warranties associated with such dealings.

11.2 Fees.

We deduct one or more fees, as applicable, from payments made by Owners to service providers using our payment services. When an Owner accepts a proposal and makes a payment through our payment services, we deduct the appropriate service charges due to us as described in our agreement with the service provider and deliver the remainder of the payment to the service provider upon the completion of the work. We reserve the right to change service fees, processing fees or any other fee that we may charge at any time, in our sole discretion and upon reasonable notice. No refunds of fees already paid will be given. WE ARE NOT A BANK AND ANY PAYMENTS TRANSFERRED THROUGH US ARE NOT INSURED DEPOSITS AND ARE SUBJECT TO DEFAULT, LOSS OR FORFEITURE.

11.3 Payment.

In order to receive funds due to the service provider, the service provider must request such funds by marking the contract as complete. Any such requests shall be subject to the conditions and restrictions contained on the Site and in these Terms. We will then provide the Owner an opportunity to confirm completion of the work. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms or the Project Agreement with the service provider, if we determine in our sole discretion that a service provider has violated the conditions and restrictions of the Site, Terms, or Project Agreement, we have the right to refuse to process such request. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to place a hold on requested transfers if we suspect monies may be subject to charge back, bank reversal, failure to clear or fraud. We will release a hold as soon as practical.
