Abusing Zatista

Zatista and our community of users work together to keep the Site and it’s services working properly and our online marketplace safe. Please report problems, offensive content, and policy violations to us.

Without limiting other remedies, we may limit, suspend or terminate our service and user accounts, prohibit access to our website, delay or remove hosted content, and take technical and legal steps to keep users off the sites if we think that they are creating problems, possible legal liabilities, or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies. We also reserve the right to cancel unconfirmed accounts, accounts that have been inactive for a long time, as well as any account during our regular curation at our sole discretion.

Fees and Services For Sellers

Joining Zatista is free and we do not charge listing fees, or a membership fee. We do however charge a 45% commission upon the sale of an item through any Zatista site. Any changes in our fees are effective after we provide you with at least fourteen days’ notice by posting the changes on the Zatista site.

We may choose to temporarily change the fees for our services for promotional events or new services, and such changes are effective when we post the temporary promotional event or new service on the site. When a sale occurs on Zatista, artists will be paid their commission based on the actual price at which that piece was sold.

By listing your artwork on any Zatista site, an artist also gives the right for Zatista to list their work on partner sites including but not limited to; Amazon Fine Art, Houzz and 1stdibs. When a sale comes through a partner site, artists will receive their 45% commission with a 10% discount applied on the order.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are in U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with our site and services in a timely manner. For typical transactions our fees will be automatically deducted prior to depositing funds in your PayPal account. You will not be charged any additional fees to receive money by PayPal. We reserve the right, in certain circumstances including but not limited to fraudulent activities, to recover or apply additional fees to your seller account.

Member Communication

All communication between Zatista members (Artists and Buyers) must take place using the Zatista messaging system. It is against our policy to include email addresses, phone numbers, and URLs in Zatista messages. It is also against our policy for Artists to post email addresses, phone numbers, and URLs in other areas where buyers may find them including but not limited to store welcome messages, artwork descriptions, and artist profiles. If a Zatista member needs help communicating with a fellow member and the messaging system will not support the specific need, that member should contact Zatista Support ([email protected]) for assistance.

Your Zatista Account

If you use this site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. Zatista does sell products to children, but it sells them to adults, who can purchase with a credit card or other permitted payment method. If you are under 18, you may use Zatista.com, or any other Zatista site, only with involvement of a parent or guardian. Zatista reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders in their sole discretion.

Content

Zatista does not own the content (including but not limited to images, item descriptions, and artist descriptions) you provide to the Site. However, when you give us content you grant us license so that we do not violate any rights you may have in the content. You grant Zatista a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright, trademark, publicity, and database rights (but no other rights) you have in the content, in any media known now or in the future. Additionally, you grant Zatista the right to use your content for the purpose of marketing, merchandising, and advertising in media including, but not limited to, the Zatista Site and partner sites.

Liability

You will not hold Zatista responsible for other users’ content, actions or inactions, or items they list. The Site is a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy art, at anytime, from anywhere. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. We have no control over and do not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of users’ content or listings, the ability of sellers to sell items, the ability of buyers to pay for items, or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.

Zatista does not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer, and nothing in this agreement shall modify the governing provisions under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the item, to the buyer by the seller. Unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise, the buyer will become the item’s lawful owner upon physical receipt of the item from the seller. Further, we cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our services, and operation of the sites may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control.

Accordingly, to the extent legally permitted, we exclude all implied warranties, terms and conditions. We are not liable for any loss of money, goodwill, or reputation, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of your use of our sites and services. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

Regardless of the previous paragraph, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action, giving rise to the liability, and (b) $100.

• Law and Forum for Disputes
  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Pennsylvania between Pennsylvania residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Zatista must be resolved by a court located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Bucks County, Pennsylvania for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
• Arbitration Option
  For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
• Improperly Filed Claims
  All claims you bring against Zatista must be resolved in accordance with this Resolution of Disputes Section. All claims filed or brought contrary to the Resolution of Disputes Section shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to the Resolution of Disputes Section, Zatista may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $1000, provided that Zatista has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
