Copyright Policy

Artelier App LLC ("Artelier," "we," "us," "our") respects the rights of artists, museums, photographers, and other copyright owners, and we expect our users to do the same. This Copyright Policy is part of our Terms of Service. It explains how we choose the images we show and how to report content that you believe infringes your copyright under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").

1. How We Choose Catalog Images

Public domain and open access only. Artworks in Artelier's catalog come from museum open-access programs and public databases such as Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. We show a catalog image only when it is in the public domain or released under CC0, or when an artist has uploaded their own work.

The U.S. rule. In the United States, works published more than 95 years ago are generally in the public domain. Right now that means works from 1930 and earlier, and the cutoff moves forward one year every January 1. We do not show images of works from 1931 or later in the United States unless the image is otherwise free to use.

Other countries. Copyright terms differ by country and often last 70 years after the artist's death. Where a work may still be protected where you are, we hide its image or show a placeholder.

Credits. Each artwork page names the source of its image and, where we know it, the museum that holds the work.

2. Photos and Content From Users

Users can upload photos of artworks they see, and approved artists can upload their own work. User photos are shown at reduced resolution, are not offered for download or printing, and may be hidden in regions where the artwork they show is still under copyright. Uploading content you do not have the right to share violates our Terms of Service.

3. Reporting Infringement

Quick reports. If you think an image or post on Artelier infringes your copyright, the fastest way to tell us is the report option on that image or post in the app, or an email to artelier@artelierapp.co with the subject "Copyright Notice." We review every report.

Formal DMCA notice. To send a formal notice under the DMCA, email our Designated Copyright Agent (Section 4) with all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature and your full legal name.

2. The copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If your notice covers several works, you may give a representative list.

3. The material you believe is infringing, with enough information for us to find it, such as the artwork or post title and a link or screenshot showing where it appears in the Service.

4. Your mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (for example, that it is not fair use).

6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

A notice that is missing any of these items may not be valid under the DMCA, but we may still review it.

4. Designated Copyright Agent

Jenna Harms, Copyright Agent

Artelier App LLC

Phone: +1 816-830-5520

5. What Happens Next

When we receive a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the material and let the user who posted it know. We may send that user a copy of the notice, including your name and contact details, so they can respond.

6. Counter-Notices

If your content was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or because it was misidentified, you can send a counter-notice to our Copyright Agent with all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature and your full legal name.

2. The material that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed.

3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled by mistake or because it was misidentified.

4. Your mailing address and telephone number.

5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where your address is located (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which Artelier may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we send a copy to the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days later, unless that person tells us they have filed a court action to stop the activity.

7. Repeat Infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we disable or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights.

8. False Claims

Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
