These Terms of Service (“Terms”) contain the agreement between you and Artera with respect to Artera described below. Please read these Terms carefully as well as our Privacy Policy.
These Terms of Service constitute an agreement between you and Artera LTD. When you create an Artera account or use Artera, you form a contract with us accepting these Terms.
In short: This is a contract between you and Artera. You should read it.
These Terms govern your use of Artera services (the “Platform”), which includes the Artera app, websites, software and related services, accessed via any platform or device. The Artera Community Guidelines also form part of our contract with you, and by agreeing to these Terms, you confirm to us that you will comply with them.
We are the companies affiliated with us (“Affiliates”) provide Artera for all, so everyone can use it, in a growing list of languages worldwide.
Artera allows you and others to create, view, interact with and share content, compile your own and others content into collections, publicly and privately, and interact with others in a multimedia context. We also personalise your experience on Artera, such as providing your own “Discover” page, which will continue to show you content based on what we have determined could be interesting and engaging for you to discover.
We want Artera to be a safe and inspiring place, where you can be who you are and have fun. We work with our Affiliates and use a combination of technology, through automation, human moderation and user identified reports of infringements of these Terms and our Community Guidelines in order to ensure yours, and all of our users’ protection.
You do not have to pay a fee to use most of the features on Artera. Mostly, businesses and organisations pay us to show you ads for their products and services, and we may also charge sellers a commission on products sold in the future. A Premium subscription will offer additional features such as increased limits and cosmetic improvements, however this can be attained through monthly payment, patronage to other creators or our referral system.
Information on how we use data that we collect about you can be found in our Privacy Policy. This does not form part of this contract, but is an important document that we strongly recommend that you read.
We charge users for some features of Artera, for example, if you buy a virtual gift but all of these features are voluntary and any costs are clearly outlined prior to purchase.
You can use some basic features of Artera without having an account. If you use Artera without an account, then these Terms will still apply to such use and we will still process your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
To access the full functionality of Artera, you require an account with us. We may offer different types of accounts, including but not limited to User, Artist, Institution and Tester accounts.
When you create an account to access and use Artera, you don’t have to disclose your identity, but you must provide accurate and up-to-date information about yourself (including your date of birth). You may not impersonate someone or something you aren’t, and you can’t create an account for someone else unless you have their express permission.
It is important that you take reasonable steps to keep your account password confidential and that you do not disclose it to any third party. If you know or suspect that a third party knows your password or has accessed your account, please ensure to change it right away.
