Frequently Asked Questions

This website accepts visitors from all the countries in the world. You may use the website, create an account, make requests for licenses, generate profits, and place orders irrespective of where you reside. However, physical products cannot be purchased if your shipping address is in Ascension, Bouvet Island, French Southern Territories, North Korea, Saint Barthelemy, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, and Tristan da Cunha.

This website operates under a legal and legitimate business model that involves a special legal arrangement based on the premise that intellectual property rights can be transferred by way of sale under a copyright license granted through an agent of the original copyright owners. Licensees on this website do not buy stocks of tangible items to resell, rather acquire a bundle of rights in pre-existing intellectual (intangible) property under a copyright license, the right of distribution being one of such rights. Please read the white paper for a detailed explanation.

It is a permission granted to you by the original owner of the licensed work that allows you to distribute copies of it for a fixed profit in the prescribed manner.

Make your offers in the manner prescribed at galry.art after obtaining an extended license. Generally, a distribution by way of sale involves: 1) an offer to sell, 2) acceptance of the offer, 3) payment of the price, and 4) delivery of the item sold. When your clients accept your offer, a legal entity receives payment from them through this website and delivers their purchased items on your behalf under the agency clauses. This way, your distributions are completed without you personally having to take payments from customers and delivering products to them.

Subject to applicable laws, there are no territorial or geographical restrictions on your right to distribute. The extended license gives you a nonexclusive worldwide right to distribute copies of the licensed work.

Here is a breakdown of the complex structure that involves multiple parties and deductions:

  • The fee for the extended license forms part of the price paid to purchase a copy of the licensed work. The license can be obtained for executory consideration (a promise to pay the license fee within 30 days of obtaining the same).
  • After deduction of transaction and/or payment gateway charges and taxes on transactions, the sale consideration becomes the distributor’s gross profit.
  • The original copyright owner receives a percentage of the gross profit as royalty, and the distributor receives a fixed amount of net profit.
  • The residue remaining of the gross profit after deduction of the royalty, net profit, costs, expenses, license fee for the licensor, professional fee, management fees, and taxes, is the administrator’s reimbursement.

Net profits accrued from your successful distributions are periodically paid out to your linked account, or through an alternative method, subject to applicable laws and regulations, relevant third-party policies, and the payout policy. To receive payouts:

  • Log into your account.
  • Go to the Account page.
  • Select the Payouts tab.
  • Enter the receiving account details.
  • Click ‘Link account’.

As per the terms and conditions, a distribution is considered successful when:

  • The distributor offers to sell the licensed work in the prescribed manner under a valid extended license that does not stand revoked and for which the license fee has been paid;
  • The distributor’s client has purchased a copy of the licensed work;
  • The orders placed by the distributor and the client are marked as complete and payments for both are received in full; and 
  • The time limits for refund and chargeback for both the orders have expired without the same having been applied for.

Yes, you can offer to sell copies of the licensed work without paying upfront for your extended license. But you must pay your one-time license fee by purchasing a copy of the licensed work (i.e., an extended-license product) from the Shop before the license expires. Doing so will save your rights under the license and you’ll receive the net profits from your successful distributions.

Yes, the extended license stands revoked if you don’t pay the license fee by purchasing a copy of the licensed work, before the license expires. After the revocation, all your offers to sell will be considered void and you will not receive payouts, even though your account wallet may show new transactions.

You are allowed to distribute licensed works on this website under a license agreement that allows you to use the license for an executory consideration (i.e., your promise to pay for it). As a lawful consideration in return for this agreement, you must fulfill your promise to pay the fee for your extended license by purchasing an extended-license product before the license expires. Upon payment of the license fee, you get perpetual rights to view and possess your purchased copy of the licensed work. The right to distribute is tied to the license, so it extinguishes when the license expires. Please see the extended license.

Yes, the extended license, obtainable exclusively through this website, over the debut featured collection ‘The Manifest’, will expire on the 28th of February, 2025 at 23:59:59 UTC.

Depending on the kind of product you place your order for, you will receive:

  • Hardcover art book; or
  • Digital version of the art book; or
  • Art posters from the featured art curation.

The hardcover art book and framed art posters are priced at €149 and €299 respectively, including worldwide shipping at no extra charges (except for certain territories listed in the delivery policy), and the digital version of the art book is priced at €49. These prices are justified. The physical items are premium and luxury products that have to be printed or assembled, stored, packaged, and transported with care, while the downloadable item consists of large digital files in 11 volumes (approx. 800 MB in total) that need server space etc. Besides, import duties have to be paid, distributors have to be paid their profit, and a margin has to be left for various costs and expenses like management etc.

When you create your free account, you will be able to:

  • Make requests for nonexclusive worldwide copyright licenses;
  • Access your account dashboard to manage your account;
  • View your orders, downloads, and wallet transactions;
  • Place orders to receive products; and
  • Link your preferred account to receive payouts.

Your account wallet has the following features:

  • Your account wallet displays a new transaction every time an amount is credited to or debited from it. The option of wallet top-up is not available. Funds cannot be transferred in between users’ account wallets.
  • The amount displayed in your account wallet is for account keeping and informative purposes only. This means that this amount cannot be spent either wholly or partially for purchases on this website or elsewhere on the Internet, but can only be paid out to you on the directions of the administrator, as per this policy, to your receiving account, the details of which can be saved by you on your Account page.
  • You receive a credit transaction of an amount equivalent to twenty-five euros in your account wallet for every accepted offer to sell made by you in the prescribed manner, irrespective of the price of the product that your client might purchase.
  • If a client of yours fails to purchase a copy of the licensed work within the stipulated time, the amount of the corresponding prospective profit is debited from your account wallet.
  • Your account wallet includes the amount of net profits accrued from successful distributions, as well as prospective profits. Payouts may not include the entire wallet amount. Only the amount of net profits accrued from successful distributions is paid out. Once an amount is paid out to you, an equivalent amount is debited from your account wallet.
