Apply to Sell

1. Overview

This Artist License Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between you ("Artist") and Playmat Nexus ("Company," "we," or "us"). By submitting an application to sell your artwork through the Playmat Nexus marketplace and checking the acceptance box below, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

2. License Grant

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Artist grants Playmat Nexus a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to: • Reproduce, manufacture, and print the submitted artwork ("Artwork") on playmats and any directly related physical products. • Market, advertise, sell, and distribute products bearing the Artwork through the Playmat Nexus storefront and any affiliated sales channels. • Display the Artwork in product listings, marketing materials, and promotional content for the purpose of selling those products. • Create and store digital copies of the Artwork as necessary to operate the above. This license is limited to the specific designs the Artist submits through the Playmat Nexus dashboard. The Company acquires no rights to artwork not submitted for sale.

3. Intellectual Property Ownership

Artist retains full copyright and all other intellectual property rights in and to the Artwork. This Agreement does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property to the Company. The Company's rights are limited to the license expressly granted in Section 2. Nothing in this Agreement prevents the Artist from licensing the same Artwork to other parties or selling prints through other channels, except as limited by Section 4 (Content Standards).

4. Content Standards

Artist represents and warrants that each submitted design: (a) Is wholly original work created by the Artist, or that the Artist holds all rights necessary to grant the license in Section 2. (b) Does not reproduce, incorporate, or substantially imitate any copyrighted work owned by a third party — including but not limited to official card art, character designs, or graphic elements from Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dungeons & Dragons, or any other game system — without documented, transferable written permission from the rights holder. (c) Does not incorporate any third-party trademark, trade dress, or protected logo in a manner likely to cause consumer confusion or that is not covered by fair use. (d) Does not contain adult or sexually explicit content, graphic depictions of real-world violence or hate, or content that violates applicable law. (e) Does not defame or misappropriate the likeness of any identifiable individual. The Company reserves the right to reject or remove any design that, in its reasonable judgment, fails to meet these standards, without liability to the Artist.

5. Compensation

Artist will receive a commission on each unit sold, calculated as a percentage of the net revenue received by the Company after deducting manufacturing costs, payment processing fees, and applicable taxes. The specific commission rate is set out in the Artist's onboarding documentation and may be updated by written notice from the Company with 30 days' advance notice. Commissions will be paid on a schedule communicated at onboarding, provided that the balance owed exceeds any minimum threshold specified at that time. The Company will provide reasonable accounting of sales upon request.

6. Removal and Termination

Artist may request removal of any design from the marketplace by submitting a removal request through the Artist Dashboard. The Company will process the removal within a commercially reasonable time. Removal does not affect obligations arising from orders already placed before the removal date. Either party may terminate this Agreement with 30 days' written notice. The Company may terminate immediately if the Artist materially breaches this Agreement, including by submitting content that violates Section 4. Upon termination, the Company will cease using the Artwork in new listings. Existing fulfilled inventory is not required to be destroyed.

7. Representations and Warranties

Artist represents and warrants that: (a) Artist has full legal authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant the rights described herein. (b) The Artwork, and the Company's use of it as permitted under this Agreement, does not and will not infringe or misappropriate any copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any third party. (c) All factual statements Artist makes in connection with the application and any submitted designs are accurate and not misleading.

8. Indemnification

Artist agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Playmat Nexus, its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Any breach of Artist's representations, warranties, or obligations under this Agreement. (b) Any claim that the Artwork infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property or other rights of any third party. The Company agrees to give Artist prompt written notice of any claim covered by this section and to cooperate reasonably in the defense.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company's total liability to Artist for any claims arising out of or related to this Agreement shall not exceed the total commissions paid to Artist in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. In no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

10. General

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be submitted to binding arbitration in that jurisdiction. The Company may update this Agreement from time to time. Continued participation in the marketplace after receiving notice of a material change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
