A matchmaking platform between artists and buyers – First Collection
SELECTED LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“First Collection”, “we”), operates www.firstcollection.co (the “Site”).
We provide tools for artists (“Artists”) to showcase artworks (“Artworks”) and for interested people (“Buyers”) to contact them directly. We are not a seller, agent, broker, escrow, or custodian of any payment.
No agency, partnership, employment, joint venture, or franchise relationship arises between you and SELECTED LLC.
No seller/buyer account is required. Using our forms (submission, contact, voting) constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
You keep all rights to your Artworks. By publishing, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to (i) display/reproduce your Artworks on the Site (including thumbnails and web optimizations) and (ii) use them only to promote the Artwork page on the Site (no paid off-site ads unless separately agreed).
You may revoke by removing the Artwork or contacting us; effect within 30 days for channels we control.
Prohibited: illegal/infringing/defamatory/violent/pornographic content, or promotions unrelated to the Artwork.
Negotiations (final price, payment method, shipping, returns) occur directly between Artist and Buyer. Any sale is concluded exclusively between them. The Artist is solely responsible for taxes and invoicing (VAT, customs, etc.).
Visitors can support an Artwork with an upvote. An upvote is not a purchase or reservation.
SELECTED LLC is the controller. Contact: welcome@firstcollection.co.
Technical providers (hosting, email) acting as processors. Transfers to the United States may occur, protected by appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses and/or recognized mechanisms). We do not sell your data.
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection (including to any profiling, if applicable), portability, and complaint to a supervisory authority. Exercise via welcome@firstcollection.co.
To ensure service security, abuse prevention, and proper follow-up of exchanges, an automatic copy of messages sent through the contact form is forwarded to First Collection (welcome@firstcollection.co). This copy is only used to detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive behavior, assist artists and buyers in case of disputes, and improve the quality of the service. Messages are never shared with third parties outside the platform.
We may, without obligation, moderate/remove non-compliant content and restrict access in case of abuse.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all express or implied warranties (merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement).
We are not a party to transactions between Artists and Buyers and assume no responsibility for payments, shipping, returns, or disputes between them.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability, regardless of theory, is limited to the greater of (i) USD 100 and (ii) the total amounts you paid us in the last 12 months (typically 0).
These limitations do not apply in cases of fraud, willful misconduct, or where prohibited by law (e.g., death/personal injury caused by negligence).
No party is liable for failure caused by a force majeure event (e.g., major Internet outages, disasters, governmental acts).
Takedown procedure: email us with evidence (URL, description, proof of rights). We may remove disputed content and, for repeat infringements, disable access by the uploader.
We may update these Terms. The applicable version is the one published on the Site. Material changes will be reasonably notified on the Site.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (USA); courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence, where applicable.
