Terms and Conditions with Respect to Campaigns, Sponsorships and Sponsorship Benefits
The Services provide, among other things, an online funding platform for Hosts to run Campaigns to raise Sponsorships for Events by offering Sponsorship Benefits to potential Sponsors in exchange for their Sponsorships.
In addition to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, all Hosts and Sponsors agree to the following:
Hosts represent and warrant to Artsii that they are authorized to host the Events and make all User Submissions related thereto, and that such Events will be hosted and such User Submissions made in compliance with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, all laws applicable to the privacy rights of minors).
Hosts shall set (i) the aggregate amount of Sponsorships that they want to raise for a Campaign; (ii) the length of a Campaign; and (iii) any specific Sponsorship Benefits that they will provide to Sponsors who make Sponsorships to the Campaign.
Sponsors shall determine the amount of Sponsorships they want to pledge to a Campaign. Sponsors shall provide their payment information to Artsii’s third-party payment processor, Stripe (“Payment Processor”), at the time they pledge Sponsorships to a Campaign. The processing and collection of all Sponsorship payments and applicable Fees (as defined herein) (collectively, “Charges”) will be conducted solely by the Payment Processor, not by Artsii. The terms and conditions applicable to the processing and collection of such Charges, and all other aspects of the relationship between Sponsors and the Payment Processor (including, without limitation, Payment Processor’s rights and obligations with respect to Sponsors’ payment/billing information), shall be solely as agreed upon by Sponsors and the Payment Processor.
The remittance of Charges, less all applicable Fees (collectively, “Net Sponsorship Amounts”), to Hosts will be conducted by the Payment Processor and/or vendor, not Artsii. The terms and conditions applicable to the remittance of such Net Sponsorship Amounts, and all other aspects of the relationship between Hosts and the Payment Processor or vendor (including, without limitation, Hosts establishing accounts with the Payment Processor or vendor and the Payment Processor’s or vendor’s rights and obligations with respect to Hosts’ payment/billing information), shall be solely as agreed upon by Hosts and the Payment Processor or vendor.
All Sponsors are subject to approval by Hosts and Artsii prior to making Sponsorship pledges to a Campaign, which approval Hosts and/or Artsii may withhold in its sole discretion and without reason. Neither Artsii nor Hosts will have any liability whatsoever for withholding their approval of any Sponsor. Artsii may, in its sole discretion, reject, cancel, interrupt, remove, or suspend a Campaign at any time. Artsii will have no liability whatsoever for doing so.
The Services are provided by Artsii solely as an online mechanism that enables Hosts and Sponsors to enter into mutually beneficial relationships and dealings with one another and third party vendors. Artsii is not in any way responsible for, does not guarantee, and shall not be liable for, any aspect of the relationships or dealings between any combination of Hosts, Sponsors, vendors and Payment Processor(s). Without limiting the foregoing, Artsii does not guarantee: (i) to any Host that: (a) there will be a certain number of Sponsors or certain level of Sponsorship pledges for any particular Campaign, or (b) any Sponsor who makes a Sponsorship pledge will actually remit the corresponding Sponsorship payment; (ii) to any Sponsor that any Host or vendor will actually: (a) host the Event that is the subject of the Campaign, (b) use all or any portion of the Sponsorships raised in the Campaign to host the Event that is the subject of the Campaign, or (c) provide or deliver to Sponsor any or all Sponsorship Benefits; or (iii) to any Host or Sponsor: any aspect of Payment Processor’s processing and collection of Charges from Sponsors or remittance of Net Sponsorship Amounts to Hosts or vendors.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a successful Campaign (which is to say a Campaign that meets or exceeds its goal): (i) all funds will be dispersed to vendor of record in Artsii’s system - to pay for the items detailed in the original quote (Event) and fees for perks (Sponsorship Benefits); (ii) the appropriate vendor will ship any items required; (iii) only appropriately claimed perks (Sponsorship Benefits) will be shipped; (iv) perks (Sponsorship Benefits) unclaimed after an appropriate time period (as determined solely by Artsii), but paid for will be shipped to primary contact of Host of Campaign; (v) and in the event that a Campaign raises more money than original goal, the Host of the Campaign will receive a notification of a credit valid for future purchases with the vendor of record in Artsii’s system.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of an unsuccessful Campaign (which is to say a Campaign that does not meet its goal): (i) all funds will be dispersed to vendor of record in Artsii’s system; (ii) only appropriately claimed perks (Sponsorship Benefits) will be shipped; (ii) unclaimed perks (Sponsorship Benefits) will be deducted from the Campaign – in an effort not to penalize the Campaign or it’s Host; (iii) the Host of the Campaign will receive a credit in the amount of the funds raised less the cost of claimed perks (Sponsorship Benefits) that can be used for future purchases with the original vendor of record in Artsii’s system.
In no event whatsoever shall Artsii be responsible for any funds held by a Payment Processor or vendor, and all disputes (including but not limited to) charge backs, credits, and/or pricing disputes are solely between the Host of the Campaign and vendor and/or Payment Processor.
Artsii is Not Responsible for Disputes Between Users
Artsii has no obligation to become involved in any dispute between Users or between one or more Users and a third-party (including, without limitation, the Payment Processor or vendor(s)), including, without limitation, any dispute with respect to any User Submission, Campaign, Sponsorships, Charges, Net Sponsorship Amounts, or Sponsorship Benefits.
