Pegcasts and Participation in Content Creation for the Peggy Solution
In certain situations, we may ask you to participate in our creation of Content that we plan to include in the Peggy Solution, including Pegcasts (which, for clarity, are podcast-like audio or video recordings of an artist, gallerist, or other type of stakeholder(s)). As part of such Content creation, we may record, produce and edit audio, video or written content based on audio, video or written interviews with you. In consideration for your participation in such Content creation, you agree to the following:
If any other individual or identifiable location appears or is referenced in any such Content, you will be responsible for obtaining such individual’s or location owner’s consent and release for, and agreeing on such individual’s or location owner’s behalf to, the provisions of this Section 5 and you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Peggy and its respective contractors, directors, employees, affiliates, representatives, successors, and assigns from and against any claims by or on behalf of such individual or location owner in relation to such Content.
Notifications Regarding Artists or Artwork
You may subscribe to notifications through the Peggy Solution regarding certain Artwork or artists in order to be notified of asking prices, proposed offers, and active binding offers for certain Artwork, so that you may make a better offer if you wish, including an offer to buy back an Artwork.
Peggy does not screen Artwork Content; Featured Content
Peggy believes in free expression by artists and is not responsible for screening or reviewing the content of any Artwork or its suitability for individual users. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, Content made available on or through the Peggy Solution may include nudity, graphic images, or other material that some people may consider offensive, disturbing, or inappropriate.

Some Content provided on or through the Peggy Solution may be designated as featured or marked with other similar language. Such designations or markings do not constitute an endorsement, representation or warranty of any kind by us regarding such Content.
Offering Artwork for Sale
Your placement of Artwork for sale on or through the Peggy Solution constitutes an irrevocable offer to sell such Artwork through the Peggy Solution. All offers and sales are final once submitted and may not be cancelled or changed. By placing any Artwork for sale on or through the Peggy Solution, the seller of such Artwork represents and warrants that: (a) the Artwork is authentic and the description of, and any information provided in relation to, such Artwork is accurate, true and not misleading in any respect; and (b) the seller owns such Artwork free and clear of any security interests, liens or adverse claims of any kind and upon sale, good and marketable title will pass to the buyer; (c) and if acting as agent, has the full power, right and authority to sell such Artwork on the owner’s behalf; and (d) none of your acts or performance in connection with these Terms of Use and no part of these Terms of Use will conflict with any obligation that you have to any third party, whether contractual or otherwise (collectively, the “Seller’s Warranties”). You agree to immediately notify us in writing of any event or information that may cause the Seller’s Warranties to be inaccurate or breached in any way.

By placing Artwork for sale on or through the Peggy Solution, the seller of such Artwork authorizes us, or our third-party payment processor(s) (each, a “Payment Processor”), to deduct from any payments to the seller, any payment processing fees as well as our fees and artist and gallery royalties (as applicable), as further detailed in the Additional User Terms.

The Peggy Solution includes a receipt-sending functionality at no additional cost, in addition to the ability to register the purchase of an Artwork on the platform. When a buyer (including an individual who is not an existing user of the Peggy Solution) purchases any Artwork (including from a gallery or artist’s brick-and-mortar location), the seller of such Artwork may authorize and instruct us to send the buyer, on the seller’s behalf, an email containing an electronic copy of the purchase receipt and an invitation to register the purchase in the buyer’s name in the Peggy Solution. If the buyer is not an existing user of the Peggy Solution, the buyer will be invited to create a User ID before proceeding to register the purchase.

The seller understands that the Peggy Solution relies on Peggy receiving accurate information (e.g., a correct email address) for the purposes of sending a purchase receipt to the buyer of an Artwork. Where the seller authorizes and instructs Peggy to send a purchase receipt to a buyer, the seller represents and warrants that the information provided by the seller to Peggy for the purposes of creating and sending the purchase receipt is accurate.

Without limiting Section 3(a) above, where a seller authorizes representation by another person (including through a gallery), the seller accepts responsibility for all conduct of such representative on or through the Peggy Solution as if made by the seller (including selling price, acceptance of offers, rejection of offers, and description and other content).
Placing Offers to Purchase Artwork; No Refunds or Bid Withdrawals; Right to Chase Negative Balances or other Liabilities
Your placement of an offer for any Artwork on or through the Peggy Solution constitutes an irrevocable offer to purchase such Artwork. Except where required by law, you are not entitled to return, or receive a refund for, any Artwork you purchase.

For Artwork that is priced in a foreign currency, at the time you make an offer on an Artwork you will be notified of the currency in which you will be charged together with the corresponding price. Artwork prices listed in foreign currencies are for informational purposes only. The buyer understands and agrees that any such foreign currency listings are not the official price.

By placing an offer for any Artwork, the buyer authorizes us, or our Payment Processor, to deduct a percentage of such offer from the buyer’s account, which the buyer will forfeit if the buyer fails to complete the purchase of Artwork if the buyer’s offer is accepted, and to charge or deduct from the buyer’s account sufficient funds to fulfill such offer if it is accepted. Any buyer of Artwork will need to provide our Payment Processor(s) with the information necessary to process a payment from the buyer, including the billing information requested through the applicable Payment Processor’s platform.

Prior to selling any Artwork, you agree to connect your account with our Payment Processor(s) to your bank account and confirm that such information is correct and will be kept up to date. You will advise us in the event your banking information changes. If you go into negative balance as part of your sale of any Artwork (e.g. as a result of any chargebacks), Peggy reserves the right to rectify your negative balance by authorizing our Payment Processor(s) to draw upon your bank account. If this fails, Peggy reserves the right to pursue the seller for all monies owed.

You also warrant that the funds used for settlement or payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and you are neither under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities or other crimes.
Settlement and Clearance of Payments for Artwork; Responsibility for Shipping Fees and Sales Tax; Reporting Transactions; Withholding Taxes
The collection, processing, and clearance of payments for Artwork, and distribution of funds to Peggy and other parties, will be performed by the Payment Processor(s) and will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies, if any, of the Payment Processor(s) in addition to these Terms of Use. We are not responsible for any error by, or other acts or omissions of, the Payment Processor(s). We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that any Payment Processor makes even if it has already requested or received payment.

Unless exempt by law, the buyer is required to pay all applicable taxes or levies related to the purchase of an Artwork by the buyer. The buyer is required to pay such taxes as the seller is required to collect, but the failure of the seller to collect any taxes from the buyer will not relieve the buyer’s obligation to pay them. Upon request from Peggy, you will provide all information required for Peggy to determine whether taxes have been properly assessed and remitted, including your resident/non-resident status in any jurisdiction and your tax identification numbers.

Except where otherwise agreed by the buyer and seller, any offers for Artwork do not include shipping and handling charges, sales and other taxes, and any customs charges or duties (including brokerage fees), if applicable, in relation to the sale, packing, shipment, and delivery of such Artwork, which the buyer of the Artwork is responsible for and which will be added to the total amount deducted from the buyer’s account.

While we may provide tools through the Peggy Solution to assist with the calculation of applicable taxes, the seller of the Artwork is ultimately responsible for determining, deducting and remitting applicable taxes to the appropriate governmental and regulatory authorities and contacting us if applicable taxes calculated through the Peggy Solution are not correct.

While the buyer and seller are ultimately responsible for complying with any reporting requirements of applicable governmental regulatory authorities in respect of transactions conducted on or through the Peggy Solution, Peggy reserves the right to report any transactions conducted on or through the Peggy Solution to applicable governmental or regulatory authorities, including the buyer and seller of any Artwork and the sales price for any Artwork.

Seller, and not Peggy, is responsible for remitting all applicable withholding taxes to the applicable taxation authority with respect to any payments for Artwork. Peggy assumes no liability for withholding taxes and may in its discretion obtain a reimbursement from seller should any tax authority levy any withholding tax requirement directly on Peggy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that you are responsible for, and will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Peggy and its respective contractors, directors, employees, affiliates, representatives, agents, successors, and assigns from and against, any claims (including legal fees) arising from your failure to deduct and remit withholding taxes pursuant to this Section.
Donations
Sellers may pledge to donate a portion of the sale price of Artwork to a particular cause or charity. Peggy does not control or have any responsibility for such donations and Peggy does not investigate factual accuracy of any donation claims made by a seller.
No Reliance on Pricing Information in the Peggy Solution
Any pricing data, tables, or charts in the Peggy Solution may be incomplete or inaccurate and Peggy does not make any determination or representation that any such data, tables or charts are useful in determining the current value of any Artwork or predicting its future value. In addition, each Artwork is unique and historical price appreciation of similar works is not a direct proxy for performance of such Artwork. The buyer should therefore not rely on such data, tables, or charts.
Peggy does not Provide any Financial, Tax, or other Professional Advice
Peggy does not set the sales price for Artwork and all investments involve risk and may result in partial or total loss. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Peggy does not provide any financial or tax advice or services in relation to any Artwork. The buyer and seller of Artwork should confer with their personal tax advisors regarding the tax consequences based on their particular circumstances. Peggy does not assume responsibility for the financial or tax consequences of any purchase or sale made through the Peggy Solution.
Responsibility for Shipments of Artwork; Title and Risk of Loss
Unless otherwise agreed by the buyer and the seller of the Artwork, all Artwork will be deemed accepted by the buyer of the Artwork upon shipment, and title to, and risk of loss of, the Artwork passes to the buyer of the Artwork when it is provided by the seller to a common carrier. The buyer and seller of the Artwork are ultimately responsible for arranging for sufficient insurance coverage for losses of or damage to the Artwork during shipment.

The seller of the Artwork, and not Peggy, is responsible for arranging for packing and shipment of the Artwork. While Peggy may provide an option for the seller to arrange for packing and shipment of Artwork with a third-party carrier through the Peggy Solution, the seller of the Artwork is ultimately responsible for the packaging and shipment of such Artwork. Any packaging or shipment of the Artwork by any such third-party carrier will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies, if any, of the third-party carrier in addition to these Terms of Use. We are not responsible for any error by, damages to or losses of Artwork caused by, or other acts or omissions of, the third-party carrier.
No Responsibility for other Peggy Solution Users or Artwork
Your interactions with entities and individuals on or through the Peggy Solution, including payment for and delivery of Artwork, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such entities and individuals.

WHILE WE MAY PROVIDE TOOLS THROUGH THE PEGGY SOLUTION TO ASSIST THE BUYER OF ARTWORK TO VERIFY ARTWORK, THE BUYER SHOULD CONDUCT ITS OWN INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION AND SHOULD NOT RELY ON SUCH TOOLS TO VERIFY PURCHASED ARTWORK. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE BUYER (NOT PEGGY) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING ALL DUE DILIGENCE AND OTHER INVESTIGATIONS REGARDING THE PROVENANCE AND AUTHENTICITY OF ARTWORK OFFERED ON OR THROUGH THE PEGGY SOLUTION.

ALL SALES AND PURCHASES OF ARTWORK ARE SOLELY BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER OF THE ARTWORK AND PEGGY IS NOT A PARTY TO THOSE CONTRACTS OR ACTING AS AN AGENT FOR ANY PARTY. YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PEGGY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY SORT INCURRED AS THE RESULT OF ANY SUCH INTERACTIONS AND DEALINGS. WE ARE MERELY ACTING AS A CONDUIT FOR SUCH INTERACTIONS AND DEALINGS AND WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM.

Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report on Artwork you wish to purchase. All buyers should inspect all Artwork satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement on the Peggy Solution regarding the Artwork is merely a subjective, qualified opinion. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, ALL ARTWORK IS OFFERED AND SOLD “AS IS" WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, AND NONE OF THE PEGGY PARTIES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, OR ASSUMES ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND, WITH REGARD TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, OR ATTRIBUTION. BUYERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE ACQUIRING ARTWORK ONLY AND NO COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE BEING ACQUIRED.
No Responsibility for Agents
If an agent is advising you or bidding on your behalf with respect to any Artwork, you should request that the agent disclose whether or not he or she has a financial interest in the Artwork or any resulting sale. Peggy is not responsible for verifying or requiring such agent to disclose any such interest.

Additional User Terms

Royalties and Revenue Disbursements from Artwork Sales
1. for primary transactions (i.e. the first sale of a piece or artwork, either through a gallery or directly out of the artist’s studio):
  1. if Peggy drives a primary sale of a net new collector to a gallery or an artist, a commission to Peggy in the amount equal to 20 percent of the sale price of the Artwork.
  2. the applicable Payment Processor(s)’ transaction processing fees, as further detailed in the Payment Processor(s)’ terms and conditions (for reference only, Peggy anticipates that such fees will be approximately three percent of the sale price of the Artwork).
2. for secondary transactions (i.e. any sales of a piece of art after the primary transaction):
  1. an amount equal to 25 percent of the sale price of the Artwork, 5 percent of which is paid to the artist in the form of an “artist royalty” and, if a gallery was involved in the primary sale of the Artwork, 5 percent of which is paid to the gallery; Peggy retains the remaining 15 or 20 percent, as applicable. However, there are jurisdictions where royalty or artist resale right structures exist, such as the United Kingdom and Europe. In such instances, the required royalty structure shall supersede and replace the Peggy royalty structure and, if the required royalty amounts are higher than the Peggy royalty structure, buyers will be responsible for determining and remitting the applicable royalty amounts to the appropriate individual or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Peggy in its sole discretion may authorize its Payment Processor(s) to deduct additional amounts from the sale price of the Artwork to reflect such increased royalty payments.
  2. the applicable Payment Processor(s)’ transaction processing fees, as further detailed in the Payment Processor(s)’ terms and conditions (for reference only, Peggy anticipates that such fees will be approximately three percent of the sales price).
Although the word “royalty” is used in these Terms of Use as a matter of convenience, such payments are in fact additional sale proceeds with respect to the previous or original disposition and references to such term in no way should be interpreted as indicating that the payment is in fact a royalty for legal or tax purposes.
Gallery/Artist Fee Splits
A gallery and artist may agree, on a per artwork basis, to split commissions within the Peggy Solution. This decision is between the applicable gallery and artist and is not driven by Peggy.
Payment Processor(s)

Peggy anticipates that it will use additional Payment Processors, as identified by Peggy from time to time in the Peggy Solution.
