ARTBRIDGE NEXUS – OFFICIALS TERMS
TERMS & CONDITIONS
Last Updated: April 1, 2026
These Master Terms of Service (“Agreement”) govern your participation in the Visual Artist Fellowship (“Fellowship”) and/or the Market Intelligence Circle (“MIC”), collectively the “Services.” By accepting an invitation, checking “I Agree,” or making any payment, you (“Artist,” “Fellow,” or “you”) enter into this legally binding Agreement with Artbridge Nexus (“Artbridge Nexus,” “we,” “us”).
1. SERVICES OVERVIEW
1.1 Visual Artist Fellowship (Invitation‑Only)
A private, intensive program limited to no more than 20 active Fellows at any time. Entrance is by formal invitation only.
1.2 Market Intelligence Circle (Subscription)
A quarterly research service available to any artist upon payment. The MIC is limited to a maximum of 200 active subscribers at any given time. It provides market data, collector insights, and trend analysis. The MIC does not include the Fellowship’s credential, direct collector introductions, or dedicated Liaison.
2. FELLOWSHIP DELIVERABLES
Upon acceptance and payment of the Capital Allocation, you receive the following:
2.1 30+ Local & Targeted Collectors
A curated list of verified, high‑net‑worth buyers within 200km of your studio (and broader targeted collectors), precisely matched to your artistic style and practice. Each collector profile includes acquisition history, preferences, and recommended approach strategy.
2.2 The Inside Map (10+ per month)
A continuous briefing of both private events (exclusive collector dinners, studio visits, private viewings) and public events (art fairs, openings, commissions) — with named contacts, so you know exactly where to be and who to speak with.
2.3 Instant Credibility
Artbridge Nexus performs 40+ hours of manual due diligence on your career, exhibition history, and market position. The result is the Nexus Credential — a secure, verifiable, dynamic page that signals your professional readiness to collectors and institutions.
2.4 3‑Month Contract (90‑Day Structural Integration)
The initial, intensive “heavy lifting” phase: we simultaneously audit your professional infrastructure and provide direct entry points to vetted collectors and institutions. Our only formal contracted term is this 90‑day period.
2.5 12‑Month Advisory Safety Net (No Additional Cost)
Once the 90‑day launch is complete, a dedicated Artbridge Nexus Liaison remains on‑call for a full year to guide you through negotiations, acquisitions, and long‑term market positioning — included at no extra charge.
All deliverables are further detailed in your Operational Briefing, incorporated by reference.
3. MARKET INTELLIGENCE CIRCLE DELIVERABLES
The MIC operates on a 3‑month (quarterly) term and automatically renews unless cancelled (see Section 5.2). Each quarter you receive:
3.1 Regional Intelligence
Real‑time data on your local art market, identifying exactly where collectors are spending and where the gaps are.
3.2 D‑Classified Briefs (4+ per month)
Deep‑dive dossiers on local collectors — what they buy, why they buy, and how they engage with artists. Delivered as a minimum of 12 named collector references per quarter.
3.3 Trend Forecasts (Quarterly)
Expert reports on shifting collector tastes and emerging market themes to keep your practice ahead of the curve.
3.4 Artist Command Center
24/7 access to our Intelligence Vault — a private library of professional guides, contract templates, and data tools.
These are intelligence and data products; no direct introductions or Liaison advisory is included.
4. FEES AND PAYMENT
4.1 Fellowship Capital Allocation
Total: $5,000.00 USD, one‑time, non‑recurring, non‑transferable.
Covers: All deliverables in Section 2, including the 40+ hour credentialing, dossiers, 30+ collectors, Inside Map, and the full 12‑month advisory.

Automatic Renewal: Every 3 months, unless cancelled as set out in Section 5.2.

4.3 Currency & Taxes
All fees are in USD. You are responsible for any applicable sales, value‑added, or withholding taxes.
5. TERM, RENEWAL, AND CANCELLATION
5.1 Fellowship Term
The Fellowship’s contracted service period is the 90‑Day Structural Integration. The 12‑Month Advisory Safety Net follows automatically at no additional cost. The Fellowship does not auto‑renew; any extension must be mutually agreed in writing.
5.2 Market Intelligence Circle Term & Cancellation
The MIC term is 3 months. It renews automatically for successive 3‑month periods unless either party provides written notice of non‑renewal at least 14 days before the end of the current term. You may cancel the auto‑renewal at any time; cancellation stops the next renewal but the current term runs to completion and is non‑refundable.
6. NO REFUNDS POLICY
All work — research, dossier compilation, credentialing, and intelligence generation — begins immediately upon payment. Consequently, all fees are non‑refundable.
Fellowship: The $5,000 Capital Allocation is non‑refundable once payment is processed, regardless of whether you complete the term, secure any sale, or later disengage.
Market Intelligence Circle: No refund is given for the current quarterly term. You retain access through the term’s end.
In extraordinary, documented circumstances (e.g., serious medical emergency), Artbridge Nexus may, in its sole and absolute discretion, offer a partial credit toward future Services. No refund is owed for change of market conditions, dissatisfaction with introductions, lack of sales, or any other reason after services begin. By paying, you acknowledge that the value received is the immediate commencement of specialized labour, not a future outcome.
7. ARTIST OBLIGATIONS & SOVEREIGNTY
7.1 Operational Readiness
You agree to respond to written communications within 48–72 business hours.
7.2 Direct Engagement
Artbridge Nexus provides intelligence, dossiers, and introductions. It does not broker sales, speak on your behalf, or negotiate prices. All communication with collectors is your sole responsibility.
7.3 Accuracy
You warrant that all portfolio, provenance, and biographical information you provide is truthful and accurate.
7.4 Written‑Only Record
All strategic advice, introductions, and recommendations are delivered in writing via your secure Client Portal. Verbal side‑conversations (if any) are for rapport only and do not form part of the contractual record.
7.5 Law of Ownership
You retain full intellectual property rights and ownership of all collector relationships. Artbridge Nexus claims no copyright, no commission, and no future interest in your work.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY & INTELLECTUAL SECURITY
8.1 Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Operational Briefing, Collector Dossiers, D‑Classified Briefs, Inside Map, Alignment Summaries, named collector identities, internal protocols, fee structures, and all other non‑public proprietary data.
8.2 Restricted Circulation
You may not share, forward, screenshot, reproduce, or publicly disclose Confidential Information to any third party without our prior written consent.
8.3 Permitted Disclosure
You may state that you are “a Fellow of Artbridge Nexus” (if applicable) and describe its general nature, but you may not disclose proprietary dossiers or collector identities.
8.4 Survival & Breach
This obligation survives for five years after termination. Unauthorized disclosure causes irreparable harm; we reserve the right to seek liquidated damages of $50,000 per breach, or actual damages (whichever is greater), plus attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief.
9. OUR GUAREANTEE TO EVERY FELLOW AND MIC SUBSCRIBER
Artbridge Nexus guarantees the following, which form the core of our professional obligation:

For Fellows: Delivery of The Inside Map at the rate of 10+ private and public events per month, with named decision‑makers and context.
For Fellows: Completion of 40+ hours of manual due diligence and issuance of the dynamic Nexus Credential.
For Fellows: Provision of a dedicated Liaison for the full 12‑Month Advisory Safety Net at no additional cost.
For MIC Subscribers: Delivery of all quarterly deliverables described in Section 3 (Regional Intelligence, D‑Classified Briefs at 4+ per month, Trend Forecasts, and 24/7 Intelligence Vault access).
For all: A strictly commission‑free environment — you retain 100% of your sales, 100% of your collector data, and 100% of your relationships.
For all: A written‑only, no‑cold‑outreach framework — your brand is never used without consent, and every introduction is warm and verified.
For all: A 48‑hour good‑faith resolution period on any billing or service concern before any dispute escalates, as detailed in Section 12.
In short, we guarantee the infrastructure, intelligence, introductions, and integrity of our framework. Everything we can control, we commit to in writing.
9.2 What We Do Not Guarantee
Artbridge Nexus does not — and cannot — guarantee the actions of third parties or the creative and interpersonal results that depend on you. Specifically:
No guarantee that any collector will purchase, respond to outreach, or schedule a studio visit.
No guarantee of museum acquisition, exhibition, press coverage, or specific financial returns.
No guarantee of market reception, pricing outcomes, or career milestones.
Your artistic merit, communication, pricing, and the unpredictable nature of the art market all play a role. Our job is to remove the information asymmetry and give you the verified access and intelligence to compete on equal footing. The rest is yours.
10. NO COLD OUTREACH
Artbridge Nexus will never contact a collector, institution, or gallery on your behalf without your explicit, prior written consent. All facilitated introductions are warm and verified, initiated only after you approve the target list.
11. TERMINATION
11.1 Termination by Artbridge Nexus
Immediate upon breach of Confidentiality, non‑payment, fraud, or abusive conduct. No refund will be issued.
11.2 Termination by Artist
You may terminate at any time via written notice. No refund will be issued; the 12‑month advisory (for Fellows) or current quarter access (for MIC) will end, and no further materials or introductions will be provided. You retain existing relationships, but must return or destroy Confidential Information.
11.3 Inactivity
If you fail to respond to Liaison communications for more than 30 consecutive days without prior notice, we may deem the Services inactive and pause delivery. Reinstatement may incur a reactivation fee.
12. CHARGEBACK & FINANCIAL DISPUTES
12.1 Good Faith Resolution
You must notify us in writing of any billing concern and allow 48 hours for resolution before initiating a chargeback.
12.2 Unresolved Chargeback Consequences
Services are immediately and permanently terminated. No reinstatement.
You remain fully liable for all chargeback fees, processor penalties, and administrative costs, payable within 14 days.
The original contractual fee remains due as a debt, regardless of any provisional credit from your financial institution.
We reserve the right to recover all amounts, plus interest at 1.5% per month (or the lawful maximum) and collection costs, including attorneys’ fees.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim (capped at $5,000 for Fellowship‑only Artists). We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, or reputational harm. Nothing limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct.
14. DATA PROTECTION & PRIVACY
We process personal data as described in our Privacy Policy, incorporated here by reference. We do not sell or rent personal data. You may request deletion of your data post‑termination, subject to legal retention obligations.
15. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.1 Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict of laws.
15.2 Dispute Resolution
All disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Rules, conducted virtually in English by a single arbitrator experienced in art‑market or professional‑services disputes. Each party bears its own costs. Either party may seek emergency injunctive relief from the arbitrator to enforce Confidentiality or the Chargeback policy.
16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT & AMENDMENTS
We may update these Terms; the version in effect at the time of your payment applies. For ongoing MIC subscribers, we will provide 30 days’ notice of material changes, and your continued use constitutes acceptance. This Agreement, together with any Operational Briefing, acknowledgments, and the Privacy Policy, forms the entire understanding between you and Artbridge Nexus.
