Intellectual Property Policy

This policy is part of our General Terms of Use.

Jose Art Gallery takes the protection of the intellectual property rights of artists and creators seriously. We support laws and regulations for the protection of intellectual property and ask our users and visitors to respect them in the same way and not to violate them. 

Jose Art Gallery’s Role

Jose Art Gallery is a platform that provides an online marketplace for Sellers of original art and handicrafts. We do not produce or store Products in our warehouse, the shipment of which is the responsibility of the Seller. Sellers themselves upload the listing of their Products to the Website and are responsible for their description, availability, shipping and compliance with the law while fulfilling their obligations as a seller.

The sale of prints, souvenirs and digital goods is carried out by Jose Art Gallery on the basis of a license granted by sellers of original works of art.

Content added by independent sellers to the Website is not affiliated with Jose Art Gallery, and sellers are solely responsible for ensuring that they have all necessary rights to their content and do not infringe the rights of third parties by posting it.

Jose Art Gallery does not provide legal advice on intellectual property issues or make legal decisions regarding copyright infringement matters. In the event of an infringement or alleged infringement of the rights of copyright holders, Jose Art Gallery will take action to stop the unlawful activity against the Website User or other Account holder.

Procedure for filing claims of copyright infringement

Settlement of Disputes

We would like to point out that most intellectual property infringement disputes, in our experience, are resolved quickly and effectively by directly contacting the author or user who posted the content to notify them of their rights and request that they cease copyright infringement. Most often, the artist or other users respond within 48 hours.

To do this, you need to find the “Send Message” button in the seller’s profile or on the Product page. Explain the problem and include the image URL.

If this procedure does not work, or you do not want to write directly to the user, you can use the standard procedure used in such cases.
