Terms & POLICIES

This is the fine print nobody likes to read, but it's here to protect you and to protect our work and our artists. In a nutshell, we will keep any info you provide us with private (we're in the business of selling art, not your data). And we expect you and all visitors to our site to acknowledge that all work is protected under several intellectual property and international copyright laws and to comply with all our terms. So please dive right in:

Terms of Service

Last updated: June 28, 2018

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Terms of Service") carefully before using the ShinyOctopus.com website (the “Site” or "Service" or "Services") operated by Shiny Octopus, LLC ("us", "we", or "our"). Shiny Octopus provides a service for purchasing open edition and limited edition prints based on original photography and original works of art.

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service. If you accept or agree to these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms and, in such event, "you" and "your" will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity.

GOVERNING LAW

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Service.

CHANGES TO OUR TERMS

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using our Site and Services.
