Last updated: April 2026

This document is a draft and will be reviewed by legal counsel before launch.

1. PrismArt's Role

PrismArt operates as a marketplace platform. We facilitate connections between artists, galleries, and buyers. PrismArt does not claim copyright ownership of artwork uploaded by users. Copyright remains with the original creator or rights holder.

2. Artist Copyright

Artists who upload work to PrismArt represent and warrant that they own or have appropriate rights to the artwork. By uploading, artists grant PrismArt a non-exclusive license to display and promote their work on the Platform for the purpose of facilitating transactions.

3. DMCA Notice & Takedown

PrismArt respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on PrismArt infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice.

Your notice must include:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed
  • Identification of the material on PrismArt that you claim is infringing, with sufficient detail for us to locate it
  • Your contact information (name, address, email, phone)
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
  • Your physical or electronic signature

4. Where to Send Notices

DMCA notices should be sent to our designated agent:

Email: dmca@prismart.app

5. Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was wrongly removed, you may submit a counter-notification with the following:

  • Identification of the removed material and its location
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that removal was a mistake or misidentification
  • Your name, address, and phone number
  • Consent to jurisdiction of the federal court in your district
  • Your physical or electronic signature

6. Repeat Infringers

PrismArt will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also take other appropriate action against repeat infringers.

7. Reporting Infringement

If you are not filing a formal DMCA notice but want to report a potential copyright issue, please contact us at copyright@prismart.app and we will investigate.

8. Licensing vs. Ownership

Transactions on PrismArt may involve licensing, rental, or purchase. Licensing and rental transactions grant specific usage rights but do not transfer copyright ownership. Only retail purchases transfer ownership of the physical work — copyright remains with the artist unless explicitly transferred in writing.
