Terms of Service

Effective October 27, 2026 for everyone · Last updated October 27, 2026 · Version terms-2026-10-27

In plain words

• You own your artwork, statements and photos. When you apply to a show, that show's organizers and jurors see them; if you are accepted, the organizer may list you on the show's page; galleries you publish are public until you unpublish them; and whether we may feature your work and name in our own newsletters, social posts and press is controlled by the Marketing use setting in your account, which is on unless you turn it off (§5).
• When you buy art, a ticket or a service here, you buy from the artist, organization or professional, not from us, and PayPal, or for some tickets Stripe when we offer it, handles the payment. The price you see is the price you pay, before shipping and any tax shown separately: on art and services our fee comes out of the seller's proceeds; on tickets our per-ticket fee and payment processing are built into the one ticket price you see, and the organization keeps the face value it set (§7).
• Helpers you add, professionals you hire, Gallerists & Dealers you work with and our AI assistants can act for you only within what you allow; every change a helper, professional or partner makes is recorded and shown under Recent activity on your account, and an assistant's changes are your own approved acts and appear in its conversation. Our AI assistants do paperwork, change records only through an action the person responsible approves (you for your own account, an organizer or our staff for the records they manage) or within a short window that person approved (apart from ArtBot's own answers in a show's message threads, the bug report it files for you when it notices something on the site is not working, the draft help articles and news posts an assistant prepares for our staff to review, and an automatic first reply from our support inboxes, which need no approval, §8.2), are presented as AI, and are built never to judge the quality or merit of art (§8).
• We take accounts and content down for breaking the rules, and you can ask us to close your account, which hides it and can be undone, or to delete your information; §12.3 says what then happens to the applications, orders, messages and files you shared with others, and after a deletion request we keep only what §12.4 and the Privacy Policy list, such as payments, disputes, copyright notices and security logs, for as long as each is needed (§10, §12).
• If we disagree, we first try to work it out with you directly. If that fails, disputes go to individual arbitration, not class actions or jury trials, except small claims; arbitration does not apply to consumers in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, or to anyone under 18; you can opt out of arbitration within 30 days by email; Florida law applies (§14).

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

1.1 The company. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a contract between you and Juried Art Services, LLC, PO Box 3477, Palm Beach, FL 33480 ("Juried Art Services", "we", "us", "our"). We operate two brands with one set of services: Juried Art Services, the platform art shows, festivals and museums use to run juried competitions and the place artists apply, show and sell, and The Artist Seen, our showcase of published artist galleries.

1.2 The services and hosts. These Terms cover every site, app, page, message, video meeting, email, text message and AI assistant we operate (together, the "Services"), including:

• juriedartservices.com (artists, patrons and professionals) and theartistseen.com (the showcase);
• jurying.com and its subdomains, including admin.jurying.com (organizers and show staff), ejury.jurying.com (jurors), sales.jurying.com and devops.jurying.com (our staff);
• jurying.net, the sign-in host, and the @jurying.net addresses we send from;
• the help pages, the API endpoints the sites use, and any mobile or embedded view of the above.

1.3 Agreeing. You agree to these Terms when you tick the box that says you agree to them: at sign-up, in the "We updated our Terms" dialog we show at your first sign-in after a new version takes effect, or at a checkout or a role activation that links them. We record which version you accepted, when, and on which screen (§3.4). If you use the Services for an organization, you also agree for that organization and confirm you may bind it. If you browse public pages without an account (for example, a show's public page), these Terms still govern that use, but §14.3 to §14.6 apply to you only once you have accepted these Terms in one of those ways. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1.4 The other documents that bind you. These Terms incorporate by reference, so they are part of your contract with us, each as published at the address shown on juriedartservices.com: the Privacy Policy (/legal/privacy-policy), the Cookie Policy (/legal/cookie-policy), the Acceptable Use Policy (/legal/acceptable-use), the Intellectual Property Infringement & Counterfeit Reporting Policy (/legal/ip-infringement-policy), the Payment and Refund Policy (/legal/payment-refund-policy), and, for the roles in §4, the Seller Terms (/legal/seller-terms), the Professional Services Terms (/legal/professional-services-terms) and the Patron Terms (/legal/patron-terms). A document listed here binds you only once it is published at that address; until then, these Terms and the Privacy Policy govern that subject. Where one of those documents is more specific, it governs that subject, with two exceptions: §7 governs the holds, shipping coverage and all refunds (application, booth, ticket and Art Purchase fees, consultations and memberships) over the Payment and Refund Policy, and a document that itself says these Terms prevail on a conflict (as the Acceptable Use Policy and the Intellectual Property Infringement & Counterfeit Reporting Policy do) yields to these Terms; on anything else, these Terms govern. Our Customer Support Commitment (/legal/support-sla) describes the response targets we aim for; it is a statement of our service goals, not a term of this contract.

1.5 Organizations with their own contract. An organization that has signed a service agreement with us through our e-signature contracts is bound by that agreement for the matters it covers; these Terms cover everything else, and apply to every person who uses the Services on the organization's behalf.

2. Who can use the services

2.1 Minimum age. You must have reached the minimum age to create an account. The minimum age is 16, and an answer under it stops sign-up before any account is created (§2.2). Children under 13 may not create an account or take part in the Services in any other way: no one may enter the work of a child under 13, even from an adult's own account (§2.3).

2.2 The age question. When you create an account we ask your birthdate, once, in a neutral way, on our own page, before anything you type is sent to our sign-in provider. If you create an account, we keep the full birthdate on your profile and calculate your exact age from it; organizers never see it, and we may use it alongside, never instead of, your account's email address or sign-in to confirm your identity. If the answer is under the minimum age, sign-up stops there: no account is created, nothing about you reaches the sign-in provider, and we keep no record about you except an anonymous daily count. A flag cookie holding no personal data then stops new sign-ups on that browser for 24 hours, on both the sign-in and the account sites, and the screen tells parents, guardians and teachers to sign up on their own device.

2.3 Youth shows: a parent, guardian or teacher enters. Some organizations run shows for students. A child under 13 cannot be entered at all (§2.1). A student aged 13 to 15 does not use the Services directly; a parent, guardian or teacher enters the student's work from their own adult account, on the show's "Who is entering this work?" step, after confirming: "I'm this student's parent or guardian, or their teacher with the parent's or guardian's permission to enter their work." That application belongs to the adult's account; receipts, results and organizer messages go to the adult; the organizer sees the entry labeled as entered by a parent, guardian or teacher. When you enter a student's work, you confirm that you are the student's parent or guardian, or that a parent or guardian has authorized you to enter the work and to give the permissions in §5.4 and §5.5 on the student's behalf, and, if you are a teacher, that sharing the student's name, school and grade with the show is allowed by your school's rules. The student keeps every right in the work; the permissions in §5 are given for the student by the parent or guardian, and §5.2's promises about the work are made by you as the entering adult.

2.4 What is different for an account holder under 18. An account holder we know to be under 18 gets a reduced service: no advertising, analytics or session-replay tags; no email tracking, including no read receipt on the messages we email about; no public profile, roster or showcase listing; no selling; no professional roles; no video meetings or testimonials; messaging only with the organizers of shows they enter; and these limits: AI assistants are off for anyone we know to be under 18; service email, plus the calls-for-entry digest if they turn it on themselves, sent without an open pixel or tracked links; and the two marketing boxes at ticket checkout are hidden and forced off for a minor. A minor's name, likeness or work never appears in our marketing without a release signed by a parent or guardian. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has read these Terms and agrees to them for you, and §13.4 (indemnity) and §14.3 to §14.6 (arbitration, class waiver and public injunctive relief) do not apply to you until we know you have turned 18 and you accept these Terms again in the dialog we show you then; your 30-day opt-out in §14.3 runs from that acceptance.

2.5 Accounts created for you. An organizer may add you as a juror or staff member by email, an organization may list you as an administrator, and a contact an organization or artist imported may later claim an account. In each case the account is yours once you sign in, you accept these Terms by ticking the box at that first sign-in (§1.3), and you may ask us to close it under §12.

2.6 Capacity and sanctions. If you are 18 or older, you must be able to form a binding contract where you live. Whatever your age, you may not use the Services if United States law forbids us from dealing with you.

2.7 Existing accounts. If an account created before October 27, 2026 applied to a youth show, we treat it as a minor's account and ask the age question once at its next sign-in; an answer of 18 or over lifts the limits in §2.4, and an answer under 18 keeps them. If the answer is under the minimum age, the account cannot keep signing in as before. We delete the sign-in account at once, keep the past entries and results readable by the organizer that received them and by the adult who takes over the entries, and email the address on file once to explain what happens next, including, for a student aged 13 to 15, the adult path, because our sign-in provider's terms forbid us to keep a known under-16 user's information with it. If the answer is under 13, we also delete the personal information the child gave us through that account within 30 days, except what a parent or guardian, verified by replying from the guardian contact on the organizer's form, asks us to keep, and the organizer keeps the copy it already received. New entries by a student aged 13 to 15 go through a parent, guardian or teacher (§2.3); a child under 13 cannot be entered (§2.1). Every other existing account is never asked.

3. Your account and sign-in

3.1 One person, one account. Your account is personal. Keep your sign-in method secure, do not share the account, and tell us at once at support@jurying.net if you believe someone else has used it. You are responsible for what happens under your account until you tell us.

3.2 Sign-in. Sign-in is handled by our sign-in provider on jurying.net, with a Google account, a one-time email link or code, a text-message code sent to a phone number you give the provider, or a passkey. We do not ask you to create a password with us, no sign-in path on our Services reads a password, and we store none. The provider's own terms apply to the sign-in step. We record the IP address each sign-in comes from (Privacy Policy §2.3).

3.3 Accurate information. Give us true, current contact details and keep them current. We send legal notices to the email address on your account, so a stale address is your risk.

3.4 The acceptance record. When you accept these Terms, a companion document, a role's extra terms or a checkout, we record which version you accepted, when, and on which screen. New sign-ups accept at the sign-up form; accounts that existed before a version took effect accept in the dialog at their first sign-in after it.

3.5 Our staff. Employees and contractors of Juried Art Services use staff-only sites (sales.jurying.com, devops.jurying.com, our internal AI connector). Those sites are not open to the public and nothing in these Terms gives anyone else access to them.

4. Roles and the extra terms that come with them

4.1 Roles. One account can hold several roles. Each role brings a short set of extra terms, which you accept when you take on the role:

4.2 Jurors. Applications, images and statements you see as a juror are confidential to the show. Score them yourself, keep them to yourself, do not download or share them beyond the jury, and declare a conflict of interest to the organizer rather than scoring an entrant you know.

4.3 Organizers. You are responsible for your show's rules, fees, refunds, acceptance decisions, booth assignments and communications with artists. We provide the tools; we do not run your show and we do not decide who gets in.

4.4 Role activation and removal. Some roles need activation (a profile, a connected payment account, acceptance of the role's terms). We may decline, pause or remove a role for the reasons in §12 without closing your whole account.

5. Your content

5.1 You own it. Everything you upload or write (artwork images, statements, biographies, portfolios, gallery listings, profile text, messages, testimonials, news posts) is "Your Content". You keep every right you have in it. These Terms do not transfer ownership to us or to anyone else. Anything an assistant drafts for you from Your Content is Your Content as soon as you use it; we claim no ownership of it.

5.2 What you promise about it. You own Your Content or have the rights needed to use it as these Terms allow; it is your own work where it says it is; it is accurate; and it does not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights. An artwork you attribute to yourself is a representation that you made it.

5.3 The license you give us to run the Services. You grant Juried Art Services a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, resize, back up, display, transmit and otherwise use Your Content as needed to run, secure, support and improve the Services, through our own systems and our service providers. This license does not let us, or anyone working for us, use Your Content to train, fine-tune or evaluate an artificial-intelligence model, to build a dataset for one, or to sell or license Your Content to anyone else, and we will not do so unless you separately opt in; sending Your Content to an AI service to perform a task for the Services, such as answering a request you or an organizer made (§8.2), writing a page description from a post you published, or a staff lookup to support you (Privacy Policy §6.2), is not training. This license ends when you delete the content or when a deletion request for your account (§12.2) is complete (while a closed account can still be restored, we keep its content hidden, only so it can come back), except for what §5.6 and §12.3 say stays (copies in completed orders, testimonials you wrote, applications in a show's records, and whatever §12.3 says of messages you sent and files you uploaded) and the records §12.4 says we keep.

5.4 Shows you apply to (no opt-out: applying is the choice). When you apply to a show, you authorize us to show your images, statements and application answers to that show's organizers and staff, and to show its jurors your images, your statement and the answers the organizer chooses to show them, and you grant the organizer a license to keep its copy of your application for its records and its own retention period. Organizers keep any copies they downloaded or exported even after you delete yours; inside our tools, an application stays in the show's records when you close your account, and once a deletion request for your account is complete it stays there with your name and contact details removed (Privacy Policy §11.3).

5.5 Accepted artists and the show's page. If a show accepts you, the organizer may show your name, your accepted images and your statement on the show's public page, in its printed and digital program and in its promotion of that show, for that show's promotion period. The organizer, not the artist, chooses whether its show has a public roster; acceptance confirms your participation in it. We may display the same roster on our own show pages. On a show marked open to students, and for anyone we know to be under 18, no roster listing or showcase appears on our pages; the organizer may still name accepted entrants in its own program and promotion (Privacy Policy §10.5, §10.6). A minor's name, likeness or work appears in our own marketing only with a release signed by a parent or guardian (§5.8).

5.6 Galleries and The Artist Seen. When you publish a gallery or an artwork, you authorize us to display it publicly on juriedartservices.com, on theartistseen.com and in search and discovery pages across the Services, and you authorize any Gallerists & Dealers you have invited to display and offer it within the scope you granted. Unpublishing ends this use going forward; copies in completed orders and in caches clear in the ordinary course.

5.7 Applications an organizer starts for you. An organizer who has worked with you before may start an application for you, through its assistant or its own form, using the images and statement from your past applications with that organization. By applying to that organization's shows before, you allow it to reuse those images and that statement for one new application at a time; that permission covers only applications to that organization's shows and ends when you withdraw the application or close your account. The application is entered in that show at once and you are notified; on a free show with a rolling jury it may go to the jury before you see it; you can withdraw it from your account, and no fee is charged to you for it without your own payment approval.

5.8 Our marketing. You grant us a license to feature Your Content, with your name as the credit, in our own newsletters, blog posts, social posts, press releases and other promotion of the Services; the Marketing use setting in your account's notification and privacy settings turns this off at any time, we check it before featuring anyone, and once you turn it off you are removed from scheduled posts going forward. Showing the show roster under §5.5 on the show's pages, and factual news reporting of a show's results on our newsroom pages, does not need this permission; naming you in our newsletters, social posts, press releases or advertising does. Printed matter already produced and posts already published stay as they are; we never use your portrait, voice or likeness in advertising without a separate signed release, and never a minor's name, likeness or work without a release signed by a parent or guardian. The same setting controls what the Privacy Policy §11.2 describes.

5.9 Your words stay yours. Our AI assistants are designed to save your statements and answers exactly as you give them and not to rewrite an artist statement; nothing an assistant drafts replaces your words unless you approve it.

5.10 Images we may compare in future. If we ever compare uploads across accounts to detect copied or misattributed work, we will describe that in these Terms and the Privacy Policy before it starts. These Terms do not authorize it today. Earlier versions of these Terms described image fingerprinting and a reverse image search; those features are not running, and this version does not authorize them.

5.11 Content you send to your own contacts. When you email your own contacts, patrons or followers through the Services, you are the sender and we are your service provider; you are the only "sender" of that message under the CAN-SPAM Act. You promise that every contact on a list you import gave you permission to email them (an artist attests to that when creating a list); you never import a list you may not use; opt-outs are honored and never re-imported. Every message carries a working unsubscribe link and our postal address as the service that sends it, which we add. As the sender, you must also include your own valid postal address (a street address, a PO Box, or a private mailbox registered with the Postal Service) in the messages you send, and we may refuse to send a campaign that lacks one. If you place our tracking pixel or link on your own website, you are that site's operator and responsible for any consent notices it needs.

5.12 Removal. We may remove or hide Your Content when §10, §11 or §12 applies, when a law or court requires it, or when it puts the Services or other people at risk. Where the law allows, we tell you why.

6. Our content and the license we give you

6.1 What is ours. The Services, their software, design, text, help articles, the Juried Art Services and The Artist Seen names, the red-dot mark and wordmark, and the content we create belong to Juried Art Services or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

6.2 Your license to use the Services. We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services as these Terms allow. You may not copy, sell, rent, scrape, crawl, mirror, reverse engineer or build a competing database from the Services, remove any notice, or use our marks without written permission. The brand assets on our press-kit page may be used only as that page allows.

6.3 Feedback. Suggestions you send us may be used without obligation to you.

6.4 Other people's content. Applications, galleries, profiles and messages belong to the people who posted them. Use them only as the Services present them and as the role you hold allows (for example, a juror may score, not download and share). Organizers, jurors, patrons and professionals receive no license to Your Content beyond §5.

7. Buying, selling and fees

This section is a summary. The Seller Terms, the Patron Terms and the Payment and Refund Policy govern each transaction in detail and prevail where they are more specific, except as §1.4 says for holds, shipping coverage and refunds, which this section governs.

7.1 Who sells and who processes. Juried Art Services is the venue. An "Art Purchase" is a patron's purchase of an artwork from an artist's gallery or store through the Services. The seller is the artist, organization or professional who offers the artwork, ticket, booth, service or membership, and the sale contract is between you and that seller; the one exception is our own memberships, when we offer them, where we are the seller. PayPal processes every payment, except a ticket payment made through Stripe Connect when we offer it, which Stripe processes; the processor's terms apply to you as a payer and to sellers as account holders. We are not a bank or an insurer. On Art Purchases and paid consultations, the seller's share of a sale is paid by PayPal into the seller's own connected PayPal account, and a share that waits for delivery is held by PayPal, not by us. Ticket payments are split at checkout and settled at once by default: each is paid to the account the organization connected, through the PayPal Commerce Platform or, when we offer it, Stripe Connect, and PayPal or Stripe pays our per-ticket fee to us from the same payment. Only as a fallback, where that is not yet possible, are ticket payments paid by PayPal to the PayPal account the organization set for the show, and we do not sell tickets for a show whose ticket payments would be received by us. Application, late, booth and acceptance fees are paid by split payment by default: the payer pays the organization directly, into its own PayPal account, and only our fee comes to us. For a few shows that cannot move to split payment yet, until their replacement is in place, the organization has asked us to collect its application, late, booth or acceptance fees for it: you pay Juried Art Services through PayPal, and we pass the fee to the organization under our agreement with it, less what it owes us; the page says before you pay who receives your payment. We do not receive, hold or pay a Gallerists & Dealers partner's share of a sale: a sale through a partner is offered only where the partner's share can be paid without passing through us, and we will update these Terms before we ever pay partner shares ourselves. A Gallerists & Dealers partner may earn a negotiated share of a sale from an artist's store, and from an organization's store when we offer organization-store checkout (§7.3).

7.2 One price. The price shown to a patron is the full price the patron pays for the item, before shipping and any sales or admissions tax shown separately. On Art Purchases and paid consultations, our fee is charged to the seller from the proceeds of the sale, and PayPal deducts its processing fee from the payment the seller receives; neither is added to the patron's price. On tickets, the single price the patron sees includes our per-ticket fee and payment processing, and the organization keeps the face value it set (§7.3).

7.3 Our fee. When we offer Art Purchases, our platform fee is 20% of the sale price, paid by the seller. Where we offer sales with a Gallerists & Dealers partner, the partner's negotiated share (10% to 30%), the artist's minimum (50% of the sale price before PayPal's processing fee, which PayPal deducts from the payment the artist receives, and before any refund the artist agrees to) and, for an organization store, the organization's split are set out in the Seller Terms. The organization sets each ticket's face value and is entitled to it; the price shown to the patron is the face value plus our per-ticket fee and payment processing, as one number. Where the whole ticket price is paid into the organization's own PayPal account, the organization owes us our per-ticket fee, which we invoice monthly from our ticket-fee report. Application, late, booth and acceptance fees are set by the organization and shown before you pay, and the organization, not the artist, bears the card processing on them. The current fee schedule is published on the Services, and a fee increase takes effect only after notice: we post the new fee schedule on the Services before a fee increase takes effect, with no set notice period. When we can, we may also send sellers a courtesy notice about 30 days ahead, but we do not promise one.

7.4 Holds and release. When we offer Art Purchases, PayPal holds the seller's share after a patron pays. Release happens at the later of seven days after payment and 72 hours after the carrier records delivery. We do not release a held share while a dispute is open. PayPal, however, releases any share it still holds to the seller automatically 28 days after payment, even if a dispute is still open, so no hold lasts longer than 28 days. A dispute still open at that point is handled through PayPal's own dispute process and the seller's refund obligations under the Seller Terms. When we offer paid consultations, the professional's share is released on payment, because a consultation is delivered at the meeting itself.

7.5 Shipping and shipping coverage. When we offer Art Purchases, the seller ships with our prepaid labels. The patron pays the carrier's shipping cost at checkout, shown before payment. The cost of the carrier's declared-value coverage for the shipment, which we buy on our carrier account for up to the sale price and which protects Juried Art Services and the seller, not the patron, is part of the price shown for the work and comes out of the seller's proceeds. We are not selling insurance to you. If a shipment is lost, or arrives damaged and the patron reports the damage to us within 7 days after delivery and keeps the work and its packaging for the carrier's inspection, we make sure the patron is refunded the price paid through PayPal; whether that refund comes from the seller's share or from any claim on the carrier's coverage is settled between us and the seller under the Seller Terms. International duties and taxes are the patron's.

7.6 Refunds. Organizations set and honor refund policies for their own application, booth and ticket fees; within our default and except for fraud (§7.9), we do not override an organization's refund decision. For tickets, each organization sets its policy within our default, shown on the ticket page before purchase. Our default is this: where an organization publishes no refund policy of its own, application, late, booth, acceptance and ticket fees are refunded in full if the organization cancels the show and otherwise are not refunded. Our per-ticket fee and processing are not refunded when a ticket holder asks for a refund under the organization's policy, and the ticket page says before purchase how much of the price is refundable under that policy; if the organization cancels the event, the ticket holder receives the full price paid, including our fee and processing. An organization may also issue a refund from its admin site where the payment method supports it. Art Purchase refunds follow §7.4 and §7.5, read with the Payment and Refund Policy. Paid consultations, when we offer them: the professional sets a cancellation policy that is shown before you book; if the professional cancels or does not attend, you receive the full price paid. Memberships, when we offer them, renew automatically at the price shown when you join, charged to the PayPal account you approve, until you cancel. Before you pay we show the price, how often you are charged, that it renews until you cancel, and how to cancel, and we ask you to agree to the renewal separately; we send you a confirmation with those terms and a cancellation link; you can cancel at any time from your account's membership page or by emailing support@jurying.net, cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period and no further charge is made; we email you notice of a price increase between 7 and 30 days before it takes effect, with how to cancel; if your membership is annual, we email you, between 30 and 60 days before each renewal date, a notice that it will renew unless you cancel, with the price, how often you are charged and how to cancel; if we ever show an offer when you cancel online, a button labeled "Click to cancel" is shown next to the offer the whole time, and pressing it cancels your membership at once, with the cancellation taking effect at the end of the paid period as above; and we keep a record of your consent for three years or until one year after your membership ends, whichever is later.

7.7 Seller duties in brief. Sellers must own or have the right to sell what they list, describe and attribute work truthfully (a written attribution is a warranty of authenticity), ship or deliver as promised, honor their refund policy, and handle their own taxes except where §7.7 says we collect them. Sellers who make 200 or more sales of new or unused consumer products and $5,000 or more in gross revenue through the Services in any 12-month period must give us, within 10 days of our request, the payment account, tax identification, government identification or business registration and contact information the INFORM Consumers Act requires, and confirm it every year; we suspend selling for a seller who does not. For a seller with $20,000 or more in annual gross revenue through the Services, we show patrons the seller's name, physical address and contact information on the listing, or in the order confirmation and in the patron's order history. Every listing carries a "Report this listing" link, and you can also report a suspicious listing by calling +1 (954) 418-2827, which takes reports and messages. Each seller's customer-service contact appears, with our policies, on the seller's gallery and on each order confirmation. Where the law makes us the marketplace provider responsible for sales tax, including on Art Purchases delivered in Florida, we calculate, collect and remit it and show it separately at checkout; elsewhere, the seller is responsible for any sales tax due on their sales. On tickets to events held in Florida, Florida's tax on admissions is due on the whole ticket price, including our per-ticket fee, because that fee is part of the one ticket price (§7.2). We calculate it at checkout, unless the organization has given us proof that its event is exempt, and show it separately; it is paid with the ticket price into the organization's own account; the organization, as the seller of the admission, reports and remits it to the Florida Department of Revenue under its own sales tax registration.

7.8 Features that may be switched off. Any of Art Purchases, paid consultations, memberships, seller onboarding, sales through a Gallerists & Dealers partner, organization-store checkout and instant ticket checkout may not be available yet, or may be paused later. Where a feature is off, the page says so and nothing on it can take a payment. Nothing in these Terms promises that a feature is available on a given day.

7.9 Chargebacks and fraud. A seller bears chargebacks on its own sales. If we ever pay partner shares ourselves (§7.1), a share already paid out when a sale is charged back is recovered from the partner's future payouts, and these Terms say so before the first such payout. We may pause payouts, cancel orders, ask PayPal to refund or hold a payment, and report to PayPal and law enforcement when we see fraud.

8. People acting for you

8.1 Assistants, professionals and Gallerists & Dealers you authorize. You can grant another person access to act in your account: an assistant for your whole profile, or a professional or Gallerists & Dealers partner for a defined scope (a portfolio, an application, the images of one application or your whole image library, a show's content, or your gallery). A grant opens only what it names and nothing else; the screen where you grant it says exactly what the grant covers. A grant also names what they may do: view, edit, upload, delete, submit, and for a gallery, set prices. Acts within a grant are your acts: a submission commits you to that show's terms and fees; a listing at a price your partner was allowed to set is your price. You can end a grant at any time from your account, and every action a grantee takes is written to a log that records who acted on whose behalf and what changed; you can read that record under Recent activity in your account's notification and privacy settings. A Gallerists & Dealers partner may change a listing's asking price only if your grant includes that permission; otherwise your price stands. A Gallerists & Dealers partner or professional who promotes an artist's work anywhere, on or off the Services, must clearly disclose that they earn a share of its sale.

8.2 Our AI assistants. Our assistants (ArtBot for artists, EventBot for organizers, and our help and sales assistants) help with paperwork: finding shows and requirements, filling forms, drafting, and proposing changes. They work this way:

• They are presented as AI. ArtBot introduces itself as an AI assistant when a conversation starts; every assistant is built to say it is AI when asked and is not designed to pretend to be a person; if one ever seems to, report it. Where a show offers ArtBot in its message threads, every message you send in a thread with that show's organizers is also sent to ArtBot, which answers when it can help and stays silent otherwise; its replies are posted into the thread, so those organizers see them, and your messages reach the AI service provider in the last bullet below (Privacy Policy §6.2). A conversation with ArtBot elsewhere on the site is not shown to organizers. Our own staff can read assistant conversations for the purposes §9.1 lists, including to improve our help articles (Privacy Policy §6.2).
• They never change a record on their own; ArtBot's replies in a show's message threads (first bullet), the bug report ArtBot files for you, which our support team reads, when it notices something on the site is not working, the draft help articles and news posts an assistant prepares, which our staff review before anything is published, and automatic support replies (last bullet) are made without a card. Every change starts with a card you approve, through your own session, as your own act; a change made under an approval you already gave (next bullet) is shown on a card in the conversation as it runs.
• Some approvals cover more than one change. On a card that says so, one approval lets the assistant make further changes to that same record (for example, adding the images you pick to the application you just started) in the same conversation for 30 minutes without asking you again, and each change is shown on a card in the conversation as it runs. On other cards you can choose "Allow" for one change or "Allow for this task", which lets the same kind of change run without asking again in the same conversation for 30 minutes. Within an approval that covers more than one change, anything that sends email, starts a campaign, enrolls people or removes something still gets its own card.
• They may be wrong. Check a card before approving it, as you would a form you fill yourself.
• They are built never to critique or rank art. An assistant's "review" of an application is a completeness check only; the one image analysis an organizer can ask for (Privacy Policy §6.2) estimates whether an image may be AI-generated, mass-produced or a stock photo and how it compares with the artist's earlier work, is advisory, is shown to the organizer only, and decides nothing by itself.
• They never take an email or web address from speech; those are typed.
• They run on an outside AI service provider whose contract with us forbids it to train its models on your content (Privacy Policy §6.3).
• Automatic replies from our support inboxes are a separate case: an email you send to support@jurying.net or arts@jurying.net may be answered first by an AI-written reply that says it is automated, sent without a person reviewing it; it changes nothing in your account, and replying reaches a person (Privacy Policy §6.2).

8.3 Hiring a professional. When you hire a photographer, writer, portfolio reviewer, juror or other professional through the Services, that person is an independent contractor to you, not our employee or agent. We introduce you, host the request, quotes and messages, and record the hire; we do not supervise the work and we do not arbitrate quality disputes. Quote requests and quotes may not contain email addresses, phone numbers, links or social handles until a hire is paid; a request or quote that does is refused, not sent. Messages in a thread are not scanned for contact details; where a show offers ArtBot in its message threads, each message you send in that thread is also read by ArtBot so it can answer when it can help (§8.2). When we offer paid introductions, the first payment runs through the Services and later, separate work between you is arranged directly, fee-free (§10).

9. Messages, video meetings and testimonials

9.1 Messages. Messaging is for the work you share on the Services. We scan quote requests and quotes automatically for contact details (§8.3). People on our team, and the internal AI tool they use (Privacy Policy §6.2), read a conversation only to give support you or the other person asked for, to answer a report or a dispute, to investigate fraud, abuse or a security problem, to fix a problem you report, to improve our help articles from assistant conversations (never from person-to-person messages), or because the law requires it; our staff tools log each request they make. Where a show offers ArtBot in its message threads, each message you send there is also read by ArtBot, and its replies are visible to the organizers (§8.2). Report a message with the report control on it.

9.2 Video meetings. A confirmed booking between two people (for example, a patron and an artist, or an artist and their Gallerists & Dealers partner or an organization's representative) can open a one-to-one video meeting. We do not record meetings, we do not store the video or audio, and no media touches our servers except a relay when a direct connection fails. You may not record a meeting without the knowledge and agreement of everyone in it. Behave as you would in a studio visit; leave and report a meeting that is abusive. Keep meetings to the booked purpose. Meetings are for adults (§2.4).

9.3 Testimonials. After a hire closes, the client may write a testimonial: words about working with the professional, never a score or stars. A testimonial must be your honest, first-hand account. Do not write one for yourself, a relative, an employee or in exchange for a reward; do not offer or accept anything for a favorable one. The professional chooses which testimonials show on their profile, and the section is labeled "Testimonials chosen by" followed by the professional's name, with no count that implies completeness, so that no one reads it as a complete record. Your name appears only if you agree; otherwise the testimonial reads "Verified client". We remove testimonials that are fake, defamatory, abusive, unrelated or contain personal information, under the same rules for everyone.

10. Rules of conduct

The Acceptable Use Policy governs what you may and may not do on the Services and is part of these Terms. In short: obey the law; post and sell only what you own or may use; never counterfeit, forge or misattribute work; never deceive, harass or impersonate; never take a sale or hire that began here off the platform to avoid our fee on that sale or hire (later, separate work between a client and a professional after a paid introduction is not covered, §8.3); never scrape, probe, overload or break the Services; never spam. Organizations and artists who email their own contacts through the Services are the senders of those messages and must have lawful consent for each recipient (§5.11). Breaking these rules leads to the measures in §12.

11. Copyright and trademark complaints

Our Intellectual Property Infringement & Counterfeit Reporting Policy governs how to report content you believe infringes your copyright or trademark, how we act on a notice, and how a user may send a counter-notice; it is part of these Terms. Report through the form at /legal/report-infringement or to our copyright agent: Copyright Agent, Juried Art Services, LLC, PO Box 3477, Palm Beach, FL 33480, +1 (954) 418-2827 (the line takes questions and messages; a notice itself must be in writing), support@jurying.net. Our copyright agent is listed in the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory. We follow the notice-and-takedown process of 17 U.S.C. §512 as that policy describes: within the targets that policy states, we remove or disable access to material identified in a complete notice that meets its requirements, tell the person who posted it, may restore it 10 to 14 business days after a valid counter-notice unless the complainant tells us it has gone to court, and may close the accounts of repeat infringers.

12. Suspension, termination and deleting your account

12.1 What we may do. We may warn you, hide or remove content, limit features, pause a role, pause payouts, ask PayPal to refund or hold a payment, or suspend or close your account if you break these Terms or a document they incorporate, if the law requires it, if your account is used for fraud or to harm others, or if you have not used it for a long time and it holds no orders or obligations. Where we reasonably can, we tell you the reason and give you a chance to fix it; where the risk is immediate or the law forbids notice, we act first.

12.2 Closing your account yourself. You can stop using the Services at any time. To close your account, ask through Contact Support (choose "Privacy request") or email the privacy address in the Privacy Policy §15; we confirm your identity, then close it. If you also ask us to delete your personal information, we delete or de-identify it within the period the Privacy Policy states (§11.3 there), except the records §12.4 says we keep.

12.3 What stays. Closing your account does not undo what you did with it. Organizers keep any copies of your applications they downloaded or exported, and the applications you submitted stay in their shows' records, with your name and contact details removed once a deletion request is complete (§5.4). Completed orders, receipts, payouts and refunds stay in the seller's and the patron's records, with your name and contact details removed once a deletion request is complete, and we keep our own payment and tax records as §12.4 says. Closing your account hides your profile, the messages you sent and the files you uploaded everywhere on the Services, and they come back if the account is restored; a deletion request (§12.2) goes further, as §12.4 says. Testimonials you wrote stay with your name removed, unless you ask us to remove them. Fees you owe remain due.

12.4 What we keep, and why. After closure we keep: payment, tax and payout records; records of disputes, chargebacks and refunds; copyright notices and counter-notices and the repeat-infringer record; fraud and security logs, including the sign-in record in §3.2; the acceptance record; and the audit trail of changes made in your account, pseudonymized, each for the period the law or the record's purpose requires. Once a deletion request (§12.2) is complete, everything else is deleted or de-identified, except the records the Privacy Policy §12 lists for the periods it states (for example, the opt-out entry that keeps your email unsubscribed, the record of your privacy request, and your consent record), copies in backups and logs until they expire in the ordinary course, and data our analytics and session-replay providers hold until it expires on their schedule.

12.5 Survival. Sections 5.4, 5.5 (for the show's promotion period), 5.6 (for completed orders), 6, 7 (for completed transactions), 9.3, 11, 12.3, 12.4, 13, 14 and 16 survive closure.

13. Disclaimers, limits on liability, indemnity

13.1 As is. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT ANY SHOW WILL ACCEPT YOU, THAT ANY SALE OR HIRE WILL HAPPEN OR SUCCEED, THAT A SELLER WILL PERFORM, THAT A JURY WILL DECIDE A PARTICULAR WAY, OR THAT AN AI ASSISTANT'S OUTPUT IS CORRECT.

13.2 Other people. Organizers, jurors, artists, patrons, professionals and Gallerists & Dealers are independent of us. We are not a party to their sales, hires, shows or decisions and we are not responsible for their acts, their artwork, their fulfillment or their content.

13.3 Limits. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, JURIED ART SERVICES AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, LOST DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO JURIED ART SERVICES ITSELF IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US$100. AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO A SELLER, OR THAT WE COLLECTED FOR A SELLER OR AN ORGANIZATION AND PASSED ON TO IT, FOR ARTWORK, TICKETS, BOOTHS, APPLICATION, LATE OR ACCEPTANCE FEES, OR SERVICES ARE NOT FEES PAID TO JURIED ART SERVICES FOR COMPUTING THIS CAP, EXCEPT OUR OWN PER-TICKET FEE AND PLATFORM FEE, WHICH ARE. These limits do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, to our fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or to any liability that the law of your state does not allow to be limited. If you live in New Jersey: the exclusions of incidental, consequential and punitive damages and the cap in this §13.3, and the disclaimer of implied warranties in §13.1, apply only to the extent New Jersey law allows, and the indemnity in §13.4 does not apply to claims caused by our own negligence.

13.4 Your indemnity. You will defend and indemnify Juried Art Services against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from Your Content, your sales and fulfillment, your messages and sends to your own contacts, your breach of these Terms or the documents they incorporate, or your violation of anyone's rights or of the law, to the extent the claim results from your own breach or wrongful act and not from our own negligence or misconduct. We will tell you promptly about any such claim, let you control its defense with a lawyer reasonably acceptable to us, and not settle it without your consent where the settlement would require you to pay or admit anything.

14. Disputes and governing law

14.1 Talk to us first. Before starting any formal proceeding, email support@jurying.net with "Dispute" in the subject, describe the problem and what you want, and give us 30 days to resolve it with you. We will do the same before we start one against you.

14.2 Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and the federal law of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that is not arbitrated is brought in the state or federal courts for Palm Beach County, Florida, except as §14.4 says for small claims, and you consent to their jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country and may bring proceedings in your country's courts, and §14.3 to §14.6 do not apply to you.

14.3 Arbitration. Except for the carve-outs in §14.4, any dispute between you and Juried Art Services that §14.1 does not resolve is settled by binding individual arbitration before a single arbitrator under the Federal Arbitration Act and the Revised Florida Arbitration Code, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Any in-person hearing takes place in the county where you live or by video, as you choose. We pay all of the Association's filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any claim you bring for US$10,000 or less, other than the part of the filing fee the Association's rules assign to you, which we reimburse if the arbitrator awards you any relief; for a larger claim, the Consumer Arbitration Rules allocate fees. The arbitrator decides all questions about the scope, enforceability and formation of this §14.3, except §14.5 and §14.6, which a court decides. If 25 or more similar demands are filed by or with the help of the same lawyers or coordinated parties, they are administered under the Association's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules; batches, where those rules or the arbitrator use them, proceed at the same time, not one after another, and the time limit for every claim is paused from the day its demand is filed. You may opt out of §14.3 to §14.6 within 30 days after you first accept this version of the Terms (terms-2026-10-27) or any later version that changes §14, by emailing support@jurying.net with "Arbitration opt-out" in the subject; we confirm every opt-out by email. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms. §14.3 to §14.6 do not apply to a claim that you or we had already filed in court or arbitration before you accepted them. If we change §14, the change does not apply to a dispute we had notice of before the change took effect, and you may reject the change by emailing support@jurying.net within 30 days after you first accept the version that makes it, in which case the earlier version of §14 continues to apply to you (§15.2).

14.4 Carve-outs. Either side may bring an individual claim in the small-claims court for the county where you live or for Palm Beach County, Florida, seek an injunction to protect intellectual property or stop unauthorized use of the Services, or report a matter to a government agency. Nothing here stops you from complaining to the FTC, your state attorney general or any regulator.

14.5 No class actions. Where §14.3 applies, claims are brought individually, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court under §14.2, not in a class arbitration.

14.6 Public injunctive relief and severability. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only for you individually. If a claim seeks public injunctive relief that the law of your state does not allow to be waived, that request, and only that request, is decided by a court under §14.2 after the individual claims are arbitrated, and the court proceeding is paused until then. Except as §14.5 says for the class waiver, if any part of §14.3 to §14.6 is found unenforceable for a claim, that part is severed and the rest still applies; in no case may a claim proceed as a class, consolidated or representative arbitration. We do not shorten the time the law gives you to bring a claim.

15. Changes to these Terms

15.1 How we change them. We may update these Terms. For a material change, we email the address on your account at least 30 days before it takes effect, post the new version with its effective date, and ask you to accept it the next time you sign in. A change that only fixes an error or is required by law is posted with a new "Last updated" date; every other change binds you only as §15.2 says.

15.2 If you disagree. Stop using the Services and ask us to close your account before the effective date; the old version governs until then. A new version binds you once you accept it in the dialog at your next sign-in; until you do, we may limit your account to reading and closing it. If you reject a change to §14 under §14.3, accepting the new version in the dialog does not accept that change; the earlier §14 continues to apply to you.

15.3 Versions. Every published version carries a version id (this one is terms-2026-10-27), and your acceptance record (§3.4) shows which version you accepted. Earlier versions are available on request.
