      Prices Sales practice:

      All prices shown on the Bluethumb website are in either US Dollars (USD) or Australian Dollars (AUD). Prices of artworks shown on the Bluethumb website are set at the discretion of the Artist. All artwork prices displayed on Bluethumb must be equal to, or lower than artwork offered for sale elsewhere. This means Artists explicitly agree to not price artwork listed on Bluethumb at a lower price on personal websites, exhibitions, other online galleries marketplaces. By using Bluethumb, Artists are required to complete all sales on Bluethumb which come from a Bluethumb lead. This includes studio visits as organised by Bluethumb, artist to collector introductions, Bluethumb initiated exhibitions and leads to an Artist directly eg via social media where buyers are known to have discovered the artist via Bluethumb. Best practice for artists who receive direct enquiries is to ask where the potential buyer discovered their artwork. In cases where the buyer advises Bluethumb then the artist should direct the buyer to complete the transaction on Bluethumb. All discussions between artists and buyers on Bluethumb (eg direct chat) bind artists to concluding the sale or resulting commission on Bluethumb. In any scenario where the sale concludes off-site by accident or deliberately, the artist is required to pay Bluethumb the full commission component.

       

      Taxation responsibility:

      Bluethumb will collect and remit sales taxes on your behalf where required by applicable federal or state taxation laws or regulations. However, if Bluethumb is not required by applicable federal or state taxation laws or regulations to collect and remit sales taxes:

      (a) Each party is responsible for their own taxes associated with each transaction and will account for any taxes imposed by governments or governing authorities, and related accounting or audit requirements arising out of, as a result of, incidental to, or in connection with obligations under this User Agreement. We recommend that you consult with your tax advisor as to the application of taxes for you, as the seller of the merchandise. This may include sales tax, other transactional taxes and income taxes;
      (b) Bluethumb will not collect or pay taxes on your behalf as Bluethumb is merely acting as an agent in facilitating the sale of your product to the customers. You authorize Bluethumb to deduct the base amount (which includes Bluethumb's margin for facilitation services, including tax where applicable) from the sales proceeds for your artwork before distributing your margin (which will include tax where applicable). The amounts distributed to you will be deemed to be inclusive of any taxes, if applicable. You will at all times be solely responsible for reporting and remitting any tax liabilities arising out of the sale of your Products together with any potential interest or penalties that any tax authority may levy as a result of non-compliance; and
      (c) all tax-related reporting responsibilities by you to relevant tax authorities are entirely your responsibility.

      For the avoidance of doubt, all tax-related reporting responsibilities by you to relevant tax authorities are entirely your responsibility.

Nor can discount codes be combined or used in conjunction with any other promotion or discount. 
      Afterpay

      By accepting Bluethumb's Ts Cs, you agree to and accept the possibility of purchasers using Afterpay, an interest-free 'buy now, pay later' payment plan for purchasing artwork and sharing their commission fee with Bluethumb.

      How it works:

      • The purchaser uses Afterpay and takes out a loan directly Afterpay and repays them over time. 
      • Once the transaction is confirmed, which is (almost) immediate, the order is confirmed and can be dispatched.  The artists get paid in the normal time frame as a standard transaction done with credit card or PayPal. 
      • Afterpay charge a commission to the seller (which varies based on loan size). This commission is deducted from he payment made to Bluethumb. A 5% charge will be shared with the artists and result in a 5% reduction in payout to the artist. It has the same effect as if a 5% coupon was applied to the sale. 
      • The usual Bluethumb returns policy still applies.
      Bluethumb Layby

      By accepting Bluethumb's Ts Cs, you agree to the possibility of purchasers using Bluethumb layby payment plan for purchasing artwork. Promotional discounts of any kind (includiung Artist lead discounts) can not be used in conjunction with Bluethumb Layby payment plans. 

      How it works:

      • The purchaser uses Bluethumb Layby on the orders page and confirms the order.
      • Once the transaction is confirmed, they pay in 4 equal fortnightly payments to Bluethumb (starting on the day of the order).
      • Artist holds the artwork for this period (8 weeks).
      • Once the full payment is received, the artwork is shipped out to the purchaser and artist is paid 7 days after delivery.
      • Our usual returns policy still applies.
      • Customers are limited to 3 active Bluethumb Layby plans at any one given time.
      • Failure to make payments by/on the instalment date may result in the plan being cancelled and the work being made available for sale again.
