If we cannot accept your order. Following acceptance of your order, if we are unable to process your order, we will contact you and will not charge you for the good(s) or services.

Terms & Conditions of Unconventionart.io Licensing

 

You shall indemnify Unconventionart.io, its agents and licensors against any losses, expenses, costs or damages incurred by any or all of them as a result of your breach of the terms of this Agreement or your unauthorized use of the content and related rights.

 

Copyright

Unconventionart.io was established in 2021 with the clearly defined aim of protecting the copyright of its members’ work. Since then much has changed, and the copyright laws around the world now offer statutory protection for the copyright of photographers’ work except where photographers have willingly agreed to part with the copyright to a client. Unconventionart.io remains highly protective of photographers’ rights, and will not agree to undertake editorial assignment work where the client wishes to hold the copyright subsequently.

Unconventionart.io remains at the forefront of the campaigns for photographers’ rights generally, and is aggressive in pursuing circumstances where it perceives the copyright of its members’ work has been breached and where it perceives the law has been broken.

Unconventionart.io has a strong respect for the photograph as the photographer made it and selected it at the time. For this reason, the picture captions on this website are written or approved directly by the photographers themselves and the opinions expressed in captions and story text are those of the photographer’s own and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Unconventionart.io, the organisation.

 

Image Licensing

All images requested and purchased through Unconventionart.io are offered on an individual license basis – sometimes referred to as Rights Managed Licensing. The copyright of the image is always retained by the photographer and Magnum Photos. The licenses serve to protect the rights of all the photographer, Unconventionart.io, the licensee and even the subject matter of the images. Rights management has advantages for the licensee as it can be used to limit the use of a particular image, even allowing the use to be licensed exclusively, which effectively embargoes the use of the same image within the requested media. When an image is licensed, there will be standard terms and conditions outlined with your specific usage rights. This will be sent to you by post or email once the license has been agreed, with the full Unconventionart.io terms and conditions.

 

Usage Rights

When an image is licensed by Unconventionart.io, the usage is specified on the website order and/or on the subsequent invoice and cannot be used for any other purpose without further agreement by Unconventionart.io. The license will state the media use, language rights and the territories for the usage.

 

Usage Fee

A fee is generally payable to license any rights managed image. The fee is based on how the image is going to be used. This will be calculated by such factors as the print run, media, the reproduction size, and territory distribution and whether the requested use is exclusive or non-exclusive. Unconventionart.io calculate this fee by relying in good faith on the information provided by the licensee. Incorrect information can lead to a surcharge on the originally agreed fee and may lead to a cancellation of the license.

 

 

Orders and refunds

 

We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the goods is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may

contact us to cancel your order and receive a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.

 

If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the goods cannot be posted through your letterbox, the delivery company will inform you of how you may receive your goods. You should refer to the terms and conditions of the delivery company for more information.

 

If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the goods from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the Contract and you will receive a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received, less any delivery charges and other administrative charged involved in delivering, handling and storing your goods.

Non-Fungible Token (NFT)

 

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other.

NFTs are created through a process called minting in which the information of the NFT is published on a blockchain. At a high-level, the minting process entails a new block being created, the information of the NFT being validated by a validator, and the information being recorded. This minting process often entails incorporating smart contracts that assign ownership and manage the transferability of the NFT.

As tokens are minted, they are assigned a unique identifier directly linked to one blockchain address. Each token has an owner, and the ownership information (i.e. the address in which the minted token resides) is publicly available.

NFTs displayed on this website can only be purchased with crypto currencies, and stored it in a digital wallet. Please refer to the Terms & Conditions of online NFT marketplaces, including but not restricted to,  OpenSea, Rarible, and SuperRare.
