If you wish to purchase any products or services through the Service, we will ask you to supply certain information applicable to your purchase, including, without limitation, payment and other information. Any such information will be treated as described in our Privacy Policy. All information that you provide to us or our third party payment processor must be accurate, current and complete. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT MEANS USED TO INITIATE ANY TRANSACTION.

You will also be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to your purchases. Verification of information applicable to a purchase may be required prior to our acceptance of any order.
Descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, products, price and availability of any products or services are subject to change without notice, and our current prices can be found on the Service. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of our products, including the applicable colors; however, the actual color you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors. The inclusion of any products or services on the Service at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available at any time. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the possession, use and sale of any item purchased through the Service. By placing an order, you represent that the products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner.

Title and risk of loss for any purchases pass to you upon our delivery to our carrier. We reserve the right to ship partial orders (at no additional cost to you), and the portion of any order that is partially shipped may be charged at the time of shipment.
- Returns. All of our photographic works are print to order, and therefore returns are not possible. If your order should arrive in less than satisfactory condition, please let us know at support@purephoto.com within 48 hours of receipt, and we will arrange a replacement right away.
- Pricing. Notwithstanding the product prices shown on the website, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items shown on the website may be mispriced as a result of price changes that are implemented at or about the time of your visit to the website. If an itemÕs correct price is higher than our stated price, your sole recourse is cancellation of your order.
- Sales Tax. Items shipped to destinations in the states of California are subject to tax. No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift certificates; however, purchases paid for with gift certificates may be subject to tax.
- Product Description. We attempt to describe our products offered as accurately as possible. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content of the website are 100% accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. If a product offered by us and purchased by you is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition for a conforming replacement or credit.
- Limited Editions. PurePhoto may offer certain Submissions for sale with a predefined, restricted number of copies ("Limited Editions"). Customers buying Limited Edition Submissions will receive a separate document with details of the edition and signed by the author of the Submission. Should customers make use of their right of cancellation, customers will be obliged to send back the product immediately to PurePhoto. No credit of the purchase price will be made to customers without receipt of the product.
Listing and Selling
Any member may offer certain Submissions for sale on the Service. By listing a Submission on the Service you warrant that you and all aspects of the Submission comply with PurePhoto published policies. You also warrant that you may legally sell the Submission. You must accurately describe your Submission. Your Submissions may only include text descriptions, graphics, pictures and other content relevant to the sale of that Submission. All Submissions must be listed in an appropriate category with appropriate tags. Each listing must accurately and completely describe the Submissions for sale in that listing. PurePhoto reserves the right to edit, change, add or remove Submissions and information related to the Submissions. PurePhoto will market and sell Submissions and deliver orders such as, but not limited to, printed or framed photographs, physical materials or services (collectively, "Orders") once a purchase has been made through the Service.
- Appointment. You appoint PurePhoto as your agent to market to and obtain orders from customers for the purchase of your Submissions over the Service and to fulfill those orders by manufacture and delivery of your Submissions ("Appointment") and we accept the Appointment and will carry it out with regard to your interests. The Appointment is valid from the date on which you offer your first art for sale until termination in accordance with its terms. You agree that PurePhoto is free to act in any capacity for any other person interested in promoting, marketing and obtaining orders from members of the public for the purchase of their arts over the website, including any art that is the same as, or similar to, your Submissions.
- License. For the duration of the appointment, you grant PurePhoto a non-exclusive royalty free license to use your intellectual property in your Submissions for the purpose of enabling us to carry out the Appointment.
- Sale of your Submissions. The retail price ("Retail Price") charged to customers who purchase your Submissions is made up of the base price ("Base Price") and your creator margin ("Payout"). PurePhoto will include in its Base Price and will charge customers for production, shipping and handling fees and sales taxes where relevant. When making each Submission available for sale you are agreeing to receive a Payout of fifty percent (50%) of net sales ("Net Sales"). Net Sales are calculated as Retail Price minus applicable production, shipping and handling costs.
- Limited Editions. In such event, we will contact you and upon written confirmation from you, PurePhoto may list your Submission as Limited Editions in the Service. In such event, you are granting PurePhoto an exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, limited right and license to sell the Submission as Limited Editions. You acknowledge and guaranty your Submission is not, has not been and will not be for sale in any store or by any other mean to any customers. This clause shall survive termination of this Agreement.
- Payment Terms. You authorize PurePhoto to collect, hold and distribute the Retail Price from customers. You authorize PurePhoto to deduct the production, shipping and handling fee, and tax where relevant, from the Retail Price for your Submissions before distributing your Payout to you. We will initiate a PayPal deposit before the 15th day of the month for sales made in the previous month. If you have earned less than 50 United States of America Dollars (hereafter 'US$') during the month, or equivalent in Euros, British Pounds or Australian Dollars, PurePhoto reserves the right to roll that amount over to the following month and continue to roll it over until you have earned at least US$50. Despite the above clauses, you may request payment at any time for the full amount in your account and a US$25 administration fee will apply. PurePhoto will pay this amount to you within 7 days of your request. PurePhoto will not be liable for any loss suffered by you if you provide us with incorrect details in relation to the payment method. It is your responsibility to ensure PurePhoto has current details of your PayPal account details. If we are unable to pay you because you have given us incorrect details or your details are out of date, we will hold your margin for up to 12 months from the Payment date. If you have not notified PurePhoto of any amendment to the Payment method details in that time, you authorize us to donate all or part of your Payout to a charity of our choice.
- Taxation. Each party is responsible and will account for any taxes imposed by governments or governing authorities, and related accounting or audit requirements arising out of, as a result of, incidental to, or in connection with obligations under this Appointment.
- Indemnity. You hereby indemnify and will keep PurePhoto indemnified from and against all claims, debts, accounts, expenses, costs, liens, actions and proceedings of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown by any person, arising from, incidental to, or by virtue of, the appointment, or any breach or non performance of your obligations under this Appointment or arising out of your willful act, neglect or default in the performance of such obligations.
- Limitation of Liability. In no case will PurePhoto be liable for any consequential loss or damage suffered by you arising from this Appointment. To the extent permitted by law, all warranties and conditions implied by law are hereby expressly excluded.
- Appointment Termination. You can give notice of termination of this Appointment by closing your account with PurePhoto. PurePhoto may give notice of termination of this Appointment to you in writing at any time. After notice of termination, you authorize us to complete any transactions in progress in relation to your Submissions, which we will do on the terms of this Appointment. Termination of this Appointment will take effect once these transactions have been completed. Upon termination of this Appointment by either party, PurePhoto will pay you any accrued Payout proceeds from your account, less a US$25 administration fee.
Copyright Issues
PurePhoto is committed to protecting copyrights and expects users of the Service to do the same. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any material used or displayed on or through the Service infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on the Service; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. DMCA notices and counter-notices regarding the Service should be sent to:

As part of the Service's online image share feature, we may provide you with access to and use of certain personalized pages on the Service and the corresponding web addresses (URLs) chosen by you. However, we do not guarantee the availability of any particular web page or URL, and we reserve the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, to reclaim, suspend, terminate and/or transfer any such web page or URL. In such cases, we may, at our option, provide you with another web page and URL.
Term and Termination
These Terms shall remain effective until terminated as set forth herein. We may, in our sole discretion, immediately terminate these Terms, and/or your access to and use of the Service or any portion thereof, at any time and for any reason, including if we believe that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms. Upon termination of these Terms, your right to access and/or use the Service will immediately cease. You agree that any termination of your access to or use of the Service may be effected without prior notice, and that we may immediately deactivate or delete your password and user name, and all related information and files associated with it (including all Submissions), and/or bar any further access to such information or files. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service or to any such information or files, and shall not be required to make such information or files available to you after any such termination. Except for the license to access and use the Service granted to you the rights and obligations of the parties as set forth herein will survive termination.
Third-Party Websites, Software and Services
The Service may direct you to websites, software or services owned or operated by third parties ("Third Party Properties"). We have not reviewed all of the Third Party Properties to which you may be directed and we have no control over such Third Party Properties. We have no control over and are not responsible for (a) the content and operation of such Third Party Properties, or (b) the privacy or other practices of such Third Party Properties. The fact that the Service directs you to such Third Party Properties does not indicate any approval or endorsement of any Third Party Properties. We direct you to such Third Party Properties only as a convenience. You are responsible for the costs associated with such Third Party Properties, including any applicable license fees and service charges. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to become familiar with the terms of use and practices of any such Third Party Properties.
Other web sites may provide links to the Service with or without our authorization. We do not endorse such sites, and are not and shall not be responsible or liable for any links from those sites to the Service, any content, advertising, products or other materials available on or through such other sites, or any loss or damages incurred in connection therewith. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY WEB SITES AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, DATA, ADVERTISING, PRODUCTS, OR OTHER MATERIALS ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH SUCH WEB SITES AND RESOURCES, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE APPLICABLE TO SUCH SITES AND RESOURCES. We shall have the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, to block links to the Service through technological or other means without prior notice.
Promotions
In addition to the terms and conditions of these Terms, any contests, sweepstakes, surveys, games or similar promotions (collectively, "Promotions") made available through the Site may be governed by specific rules that are separate from this Agreement. By participating in any such Promotion, you will become subject to those rules, which may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein. We urge you to review any specific rules applicable to a particular Promotion, which will be linked from such Promotion, and to review our Privacy Policy, which in addition to these Terms, governs any information you submit in connection with such activities. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules conflict with these Terms, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us, our affiliates, distributors, partners, licensors, advertisers and sponsors, and our and their directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and other representatives, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out of or from (a) your breach of these Terms, including any violation of the rules set forth in this; (b) your Submissions; and/or (c) your activities in connection with the Service (including, without limitation, any and all purchases).
