Terms of Service

 Terms of service

These following rules are a binding agreement that the user, referred to as Member, Buyer, or Seller (service provider), enters upon signing up and registering on CGARTIST.COM (also called site, platform, or Marketplace).

CGARTIST.COM is a global Marketplace platform that brings Buyers and Sellers of CG art-  and related design-services (called CG jobs) together, processes the payment, and makes sure the rules are adhered to by all parties. In exchange for that service, CGARTIST.COM takes a 10% commission (the commission amount may change in the future or during promotions).

A Member can be a Buyer, a Seller, or both. To be a Seller and to be able to publish CG jobs, specific requirements need to be met (see the section on Seller rules below). A Member, or Buyer, becomes a Seller at the moment he offers a published and confirmed CG job to the public. Only CG jobs that are related to computer graphics and digital design are permitted on the Marketplace.

Posting a job is free of charge. A Seller may post as many jobs as required within reasonable amounts. A Seller may post the same job only once. Duplicated or very similar jobs will be deleted. A Seller can also be a Buyer. If a Buyer want to become a Seller, it is required that the CGARTIST.COM Seller conditions are met.

Posting of offensive, illegal, copyright protected, or otherwise improper material, including messages containing the above, on the site is prohibited and will result in account termination without notice.

The maximum USD amount you can post a job for is currently $ 400 + extras. 90% of the funds that are collected are disbursed to the Seller and CGARTIST.COM Marketplace charges a service fee of 10%. Buyers and Sellers are responsible to scan all transferred files for viruses and malware. CGARTIST.COM will not be held responsible for any damages caused by infected files. You can access all communications and files that are related to an order from the private message box. Make sure you describe your job’s final deliverable in detail. Indicate amounts, durations, file formats, resolution, etc.

CGARTIST.COM is not responsible for legal disputes resulting from the services, including copyright disputes, misuse, or any other violation of the law.

In addition, it will be reported to the authorities and made public.

The following SECTION A explains the rules specific to the CGARTIST.COM Marketplace processes, while in SECTION B the general terms of the CGARTIST.COM online e-commerce conditions are explained.

SECTION A: RULES SPECIFIC TO CGARTIST.COM PROCESSES

SECTION A1 – CGARTIST.COM MARKETPLACE RULES

Every Member of the Marketplace can be a Buyer, a Seller, or both. Anyone can join after confirmed e-mail registration. While anyone can join and buy services by registering only with your e-mail, we have strict rules for offering CG jobs. Please read the requirements carefully. Any CG job that doesn’t fulfill the requirements will not be confirmed. You grant us the rights to publish, copy, and communicate your uploaded content on our site, or any of our web- and social-media channels for the purposes of operating and promoting your CG job and the site to the public and to potential clients. The site’s base currency is US Dollar.
CGARTIST.COM is operated by CGARTIST, a registered business in the Republic of Singapore (Registration No. UEN 53341796A). All interaction, transaction, and communication between users, Members, Buyers, Sellers, and the Marketplace are governed by the laws of the Republic of Singapore. Once you register yourself as a Member, you agree to enter the Marketplace under the juristriction of the Republic of Singapore and its governing laws. CGARTIST.COM does not charge any VAT or GST tax and does not collect or reimburse VAT or GST tax on the behalf of others. If your business is a VAT or GST registered business in or outside of Singapore, it is your own responsibility to factor in, deduct, and report these taxes in your own jurisdiction. CGARTIST.COM has the right to cancel the Membership of any Member in case of misconduct or any other reason deemed necessary. Users, Members, Buyers, and Sellers are fully responsible for their material, communication, and conduct. Users that violate the code of conduct on the Marketplace will be removed.

SECTION A2 – BUYER RULES

Service provider (Seller) selection:
Before you purchase a service, you have to make sure that the service provider is available and the offered service product fits your need, and the skill level and style of the service provider match your requirement. This is usually done by reviewing examples, previous jobs, profile information, and external portfolio links by the service provider. The job image and description give you an example of the quality, style, and level of detail offered by the Seller. No fees are charged to Buyers. We support a number of payment currencies for your convenience. After payment has cleared, the Seller will be notified about the service and start working. A Buyer will be notified of order status changes by e-mail. Buyers and Sellers may at any time mutually cancel the order without a negative effect on the Seller’s rating. If for any reason your order gets rejected, your amount will be placed in your CGARTIST.COM balance and will be available to you for purchasing other jobs on CGARTIST.COM. Any funds you may have in your balance will automatically be used on your next purchase.

SECTION A3 – PROJECT BRIEF

It is the sole responsibility of the Buyer to provide a clear and comprehensive brief, that includes a detailed description of the required service and possibly a drawing or concept sketch. It is a good idea to communicate a short summary of the job and have it confirmed by the Seller before the project starts.

SECTION A4 – SERVICE PURCHASE

When you make a payment, your payment data will be handled by a secure connection with our payment providers. No credit card payment data is held on our site, database, or server. Payment encryption is provided through the transaction of the payment providers. Once the purchase of the job is completed, you enter into a binding service agreement with the Seller under the Marketplace terms and conditions. The Seller will deliver the service according to your brief. The Marketplace will hold back your payment to the Seller until the job is completed and accepted by you the Buyer. When you receive the delivered work, you will get unlimited rights of usage of the delivered CG job, unless otherwise noted in the job description. If you have any special requirements, such as needing a specific receipt that lists the performed tasks and its fees in detail, you have to make this request to the Seller before the CG job starts.

SECTION A5 – DISPUTE

If the Buyer doesn’t accept the delivered service, he has the option to enter a dispute process. The Marketplace dispute center will review the dispute request and make a decision whether the dispute is justified or not. Please note that not liking the outcome of a CG job is not enough for a dispute. Basis for dispute can only be abandonment or a severe mishandling of the job, in a way that has little to no resemblance to the original offer. If your dispute is granted, you will get a refund. It is advised that you solve a dispute with the Seller before requesting a dispute resolution from the CGARTIST.COM dispute center. By the terms and conditions of the Marketplace, you are required to accept the dispute decision of the Marketplace’s dispute center. Sellers and job offers have been thoroughly assessed by the CGARTIST.COM Marketplace to guarantee a high level of trust and quality. If a job has been delivered by the Seller and has not been disputed within the clearing period, it is considered accepted.

SECTION A6 – MEMBER POSTING JOBS / SELLER RULES

Who can post CG jobs? CGARTIST.COM is a Marketplace for professional CG artists. In general, professional CG artists are those with at least 3 years of work experience in the computer graphics and/or design field, or a person that graduated with a degree or certificate from a design school. A dedicated hobbyist turned working professional that has been able to take on paid jobs also qualifies.

Withdrawing Funds

Funds can be withdrawn to a PayPal, account.  To request a withdrawal, log-in to your account; click on Payments -> Withdraw Money -> Withdraw button and you will see payment notification in your PayPal account within the payment clearance period. To be eligible for withdrawal, you must meet the minimum balance.
Withdrawals are final and cannot be undone. Please make sure to use your valid and current PayPal account. We will not be able to refund or change this process once it has been activated. PayPal is currently the only way to withdraw funds. To withdraw funds, you have to have a PayPal account.

SECTION A7 – CG JOB CONDITIONS

Before you can post an CG job: As a Seller, you are required to comply with the required information that is outlined in the Seller account opening specification. In addition, we may require additional professional information. This can be in the form of additional portfolio links, publications, or copies of certificates. You are required to be of legal age and to be fluent in English. For any additional info, please write to admin@cgartist.com. We may ask you to suggest available time slots to chat with you over Skype as part of welcoming you to the CGARTIST community and to learn more about you. In some cases, where a Seller is already known to us or has a highly visible online presence, some of these steps may not be required.

SECTION A8 – YOUR PUBLIC PROFILE ID

You are allowed an alias or a company name, if your personal ID is verified,  known to us, and is on file in our records.

SECTION A9 – POSTING TEXT, IMAGES, AND VIDEOS FOR A CG JOB

You are required to only post images and descriptions that are created by yourself. Any use of third-party images and descriptions, or any other violation of international copyright laws, will result in a lifelong Marketplace ban, and will be reported to law enforcement authorities and made public. Your images and texts have to include a detailed summary of what a Buyer can expect from your offered service. Please provide all information in a compact and easy-to-comprehend format to facilitate the Buyer in making a purchasing decision.
Users agree that unless they explicitly indicate otherwise, the content users submit to CGARTIST.COM, including  images, videos, and 3D files, and any other information, may be used by CGARTIST.COM for marketing purposes.

If you spot a copyright, trademark, or any other violation of our terms, we encourage you to report the suspected violations together with proof of ownership. Content that has been reported and that has been found guilty of violating these terms will be removed and the user banned from the site.

By offering a service, the Seller asserts that it has sufficient permission to provide, sell, or resell the service that they offer on CGARTIST.COM.

SECTION A10  –  SETTING A PRICE AND A DELIVERY TIME

The minimum hourly rate for CG jobs is 20 US Dollar (USD) per hour, the typical rate is between 20 and 40 USD, while the rate for specialized or high-profile providers can be higher. It is important to understand that the Marketplace will review jobs on the basis of these numbers. If a CG job offer is set at too low a price for the amount of work, the admin will contact the Seller to correct the price, or reject it. The idea of CGARTIST.COM is to let Buyers purchase jobs based on quality and distinct style, not on underbidding and undercutting the minimum rate at the lowest price. Make sure that your CG job price and work amount follow these guidelines. The maximum acceptable total price for a job is currently set at 400 USD plus extras. For jobs that require a higher budget, it is recommended to break them up into a series of job stages.

SECTION A11 –  WORKING ON A CG JOB

After accepting a job, make sure to update the Buyer on important design decisions and to deliver the final result within the timeframe in which you set it up. Any changes, delays, or open questions have to be communicated through the Marketplace to the Buyer. Make sure all critical information is only communicated through the Marketplace, for it to be recorded and available for review in case there is a dispute.

SECTION A12 –  DELIVERING A CG JOB

Once you are done, send your resulting files including information through the Marketplace if it is within the file size limits. If it is over, please use Dropbox, Google Drive, or any other safe third-party file delivery service. Once the job is delivered, the Buyer gets unlimited rights of usage, unless restrictions of usage are clearly defined, visible, and communicated to the Buyer before the job starts.

SECTION A13 – DEALING WITH A DISPUTED JOB

We encourage our Buyers and Sellers to resolve any issues between themselves. If for any reason this fails, you can contact us and, in worst case, submit the dispute to the dispute resolution center. By the Terms of Service, the outcome of the resolution center is final, legally binding for both parties, and cannot be reversed or disputed. If a Buyer rejects your job delivery, it is encouraged to resolve the dispute by negotiation between Buyer and Seller using the messaging system. Only in worst case, if the dispute cannot be solved between Buyer and Seller, it will enter the Marketplace dispute resolution center. The CGARTIST.COM dispute center will review the dispute and may ask for additional job details, files, or may have additional question. A dispute will be granted to the Buyer if a job has been abandoned or severely mishandled and the outcome does not match the advertised level of quality, style, or level of detail. In that case, the Buyer will receive a refund. If a Buyer dispute request is unclear or cannot hold up to the requirements, it will be rejected and the Seller be paid anyways. It is advised to resolve any misunderstandings that can lead to a disputed job with the Buyer beforehand.
If a Buyer/Seller has a dispute which they fail to resolve, a  support ticket needs to be submitted. A Buyer cannot open a dispute through PayPal or Stripe. Doing this can result in account suspension. This page will be given to PayPal or Stripe as proof that all users of the site CGARTIST.COM, Buyers, and Sellers agreed to process a dispute through the official CGARTIST.COM dispute resolution center. When a Buyer is refunded for a canceled job, the funds can only be received back via the CGARTIST.COM account and not through a Paypal or Stripe payment dispute. Any violation of these terms will result in the termination of the user and his account.

Fraud protection and fraud handling
CGARTIST.COM is protecting Sellers from fraudulent Buyers by using a variety of fraud detection methods, including fraud protection measures by the payment providers. Nevertheless, Sellers share a responsibility in detecting suspicious behavior by Buyers with fraudulent intensions. If a fraud occurs despite the protection in place, the effected job will be frozen. When a fraudulent Buyer issues a chargeback, unauthorized charge, bank reclaim, or any other method which removes his/her funds from our account, we can no longer issue payments to the Seller. In this case, the order is cancelled and an e-mail notice will be sent to the Seller regarding the reason of cancellation. We do not compensate Sellers for time or upfront investment, such as funds used to outsource to other parties. Fraudulent Buyers will be banned without warning. Any attempt to reclaim funds without requesting a refund directly via CGARTIST.COM helpdesk ticket will cause your account to become restricted. This includes PayPal disputes, chargebacks, unauthorized charges or credit card reclaims. We will dispute a fraudulent chargeback with proof that the job was accepted through screenshots and server activity logs. In that case, the assistance and co-operation of the Seller is needed. This process may take up to eight months. If the dispute is successful, the Seller will be reimbursed with the amount recouped from the dispute.

SECTION A14 – GETTING PAID

Once the Buyer accepts your job, the eligible funds will be credited to your account. The job is considered accepted if the Buyer gave his approval, or in case the clearing period has passed after job completion without a dispute, or a dispute has been finalized in favor of the Seller.CGARTIST.COM currently charges a 10% commission fee that covers the collection and platform fees from the Marketplace platform (this commission can change if deemed necessary). You can ask to have the funds credited to your PayPal account after the amount of time needed by the credit card company to assure that no back charges occur. Please check back frequently to review updates to this policy. The minimum amount for a payment is set in your account details. Be aware that PayPal charges a service fee for receiving funds that they will deduct on your side. If you job fee has been collected in a different currency, we convert the amount by international standard rates that our currency conversion partner supplies. If your collected fees are in a different currency, you may be charged a currency conversion fee by your bank or financial service provider. Please note that these payments are not done automatically, but manually and individually. Please take into account that payments can be delayed during holidays or typical busy periods. Service providers are responsible for providing receipts with listed services and fees to Buyers on request, if required and requested at the start of a CG job.
