VooGlue Services Business Solutions Agreement
Congratulations and welcome to VooGlue’s Services Business Solutions
Agreement!
We are thrilled that you have chosen to showcase your art and multimedia on
our app and website. By granting us permission to publish your work, we can
help promote your talents to a wider audience.
We understand that you want your buyers and future owners to be able to
easily resell your art on VooGlue, which is already allowed under fair
dealing laws. To ensure that you receive the proper royalties, we will
automatically report all resales to the appropriate authorities.
Additionally, we believe that it’s important to keep a record of your
artwork’s provenance to increase its value over time. As the artist or
copyright owner, you will retain your copyright, and we confirm this.
Please note that we are not your agent, but rather a service provider. We
charge a fee only for referring customers, and you promise not to hack or
damage our platform.
Lastly, if you are representing artists, such as a gallery, you agree to
these terms on their behalf.
We hope that this agreement makes sense and is easy to understand. If you
have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for
choosing VooGlue!
With kind regards,
The VooGlue Team

18.1 Governing Law and Jurisdiction: The laws
of Western Australia govern this Agreement and any dispute of any sort
that might arise between the parties. Any dispute relating in any way to
this Agreement will only be adjudicated in the courts of Western Australia.
Each party consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in these courts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive relief in
any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any
actual or alleged infringement of such party’s, its affiliates’ or any third
party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights. The United
Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and any
local laws implementing the Convention of Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods, do not apply to this Agreement. To the extent permitted by
law, you hereby waive any rights that you may have to bring disputes for
resolution before any other court, tribunal or forum. You and we each agree

assigns. Any attempt to assign or otherwise transfer in violation of
this section is void provided, however, that upon notice to VooGlue, you may
assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of your

prior to the effective date of the assignment or transfer under this
Agreement. You agree that we may assign or transfer our rights and
obligations under this Agreement: (a) in connection with a merger,
consolidation, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of our assets
or similar transaction; or (b) to any Affiliate or as part of a corporate
reorganization; and effective upon such assignment, the assignee is deemed
substituted for VooGlue as the party to this Agreement. Subject to
that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to, and be
enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and
assigns. We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our
rights under this Agreement through one or more of our Affiliates.
18.3 Waiver: Our failure to enforce your strict
performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver
of our right to enforce such provision or any other provision of this
Agreement subsequently.
18.4 Agency: Because VooGlue is not your agent (except
for the limited purpose set out in the Payment Collection Services Terms),
or the customer’s agent for any purpose, without limiting our rights arising
from or relating to any actual or potential negative customer experience or
dispute, VooGlue will not act as your or a customer’s agent in connection
with resolving any disputes related to or arising out of any of Your
Transactions.
18.5 Other: VooGlue retains the right to immediately
halt any of Your Transactions, prevent or restrict access to the Services or
take any other action to restrict access to or availability of any

items, or any items otherwise prohibited by applicable Program Policies.
18.6 Notices: Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, we will provide all notices and other communications
regarding this Agreement to you by posting changes on Seller
Central or on the applicable VooGlue Services site to which the changes
relate (such as the Developer site accessible through your account), by
sending you an email notification, or by similar means. You may
change your email address or nominate additional email addresses for
notifications within Seller Central or by any other means then specified by
VooGlue. You will ensure that all of your information is up to date and
accurate at all times. You will be deemed to have received any email
sent to the email address then associated with your account when we send the
email, whether or not you actually receive the email. You must send all
notices and other communications relating to VooGlue to our Merchant
Services Team by using the Contact Us form available on Seller Central.
18.7 Entire Agreement: Any terms you include on
the VooGlue Site, or that you otherwise suggest apply to Products offered by
you on the Site or Your Transactions (including if applicable your privacy
policy) (together “Your Terms”) must not be inconsistent
with this Agreement including the Program Policies and, to the extent of any
inconsistency, such terms will be invalid and this Agreement will prevail.
VooGlue shall not be bound by Your Terms, except as expressly agreed in
writing. Notwithstanding anything in Your Terms, you must comply with any
VooGlue privacy policy or notice. This Agreement (including any Program
Policies) represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the Services and related subject matter and supersedes any previous or
contemporaneous oral or written agreements and understandings.
18.8 Severability: If any provision of this
Agreement is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then
that provision will be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and
will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

required by Law or this Agreement. We will make any payments to customers

F-8.3 of the Agreement (collectively, the “Payment Collection
Services”).
You agree that buyers satisfy their obligations to you for Your Transactions
when we receive the Sales Proceeds. In the event of non-payment to you

receive interest or any other earnings on any Sale Proceeds. To the extent
required by applicable Laws, VooGlue will not use any funds held on your

purpose, and will not knowingly permit its creditors to attach such funds.
P-4 Verification.
We may at any time require you to provide any financial, business or personal
information we request to verify your identity. We may obtain, and you
authorise us to obtain and use from time to time credit reports about you.
You agree to update all Seller Account information promptly upon any change.
P-5 Dormant Accounts.
Your right to your available balance in your Seller Account ends
(notwithstanding that you may have active listings) if you do not have any
transactions for 12 months or more. We will owe no further obligation to pay
you all or any part of that available balance, on the date that is 12 months
after the last transaction conducted on your Seller Account. During that 12
months period, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure payment to you of
your available balance to you, subject to and such that the payment
