When a User orders custom merchandise from Artsonia featuring artwork for which the Parent has not registered and agreed to the licensing provisions as set forth in the Licensing section, the User is asked to certify that they are a Parent or that they have Parental permission to order merchandise depicting that Artist's artwork. Users are strictly prohibited from misrepresenting themselves as a Parent or claiming to have obtained Parental permission when the User has not done so. If a User orders merchandise by misrepresenting his or herself as a Parent or one with Parental permission, that User may be prohibited from further use of the Website and may also be subject to criminal prosecution as well as civil liability.

Each item ordered by a User is custom produced. If, for any reason, the User is dissatisfied with a merchandise purchase, Artsonia will replace the item(s) free of charge, subject to the following conditions and restrictions:

Therefore, before making an order, the User must check the artwork on the Website to ensure adequate image quality. Artsonia will not accept the return of any merchandise that is a faithful reproduction of the artwork image in our archive and displayed on the Website. However, if the reproduction quality is poorer than the image on the Website, the User can return the item(s) to the address below, and Artsonia will replace the item within four weeks after the date that Artsonia receives the returned merchandise.

Part B: Additional Provisions Applicable to Teachers

In addition to the provisions in Part A of these Terms, the following provisions shall apply to all Teachers:

13. Registration

To register for a school membership with Artsonia, a Teacher must be 18 years or older. Teachers that register and login to use the Website acknowledge and agree that they have received all necessary permissions to take such action, including without limitation the permission of school and school district administrators.

The Teacher agrees that the information provided to Artsonia upon registration and at all times thereafter will be true, accurate, current and complete. The Teacher also agrees to ensure that all information provided to Artsonia is kept accurate and up to date at all times, including without limitation, the Teacher's email address, which is the primary method by which Artsonia will correspond with the Teacher.

14. Member Account, Password and Security

The Teacher receives a username and password in order to submit artwork to Artsonia. The Teacher is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and the account, and is solely responsible and liable for all activity that occurs by way of that password-protected account. The Teacher expressly agrees to (a) immediately notify Artsonia of any unauthorized use of their password or account, or any other breach of security relating to their account or to the personally identifiable information of any Artist, and (b) ensure that they properly logout of their account at the end of each session. Artsonia is not liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage resulting from the Teacher's failure to comply with this Section.

15. Content Submitted by Teachers

The Teacher is responsible for obtaining any necessary approvals from their school's authorities and administrators before showcasing their students' artwork on the Website. Under no circumstances will Artsonia be liable for the Teacher's failure to consult their school's authorities and administrators or for failing to obtain the necessary permission to post students' artwork, Artist statements, or others' lesson plans / lesson plan starters on the Website. The Teacher covenants and agrees that, prior to publicly posting any materials, they will obtain permission from the Parents of their students or others whose artwork, Artist statements, lesson plans / lesson plan starters, or other materials are posted. Artsonia provides an online management tool for Teachers to track Parent permissions. Under no circumstances shall Artsonia be liable for any mistakes made by a Teacher while managing Parent permissions.

In addition, if a Teacher creates and links an Animoto™ video to their school website, it is the Teachers responsibility to obtain any and all necessary permissions should the Teacher include any additional photos / videos / music not already part of the Artsonia student gallery.

When the Teacher includes artwork exhibit titles and descriptions, they can create links to external websites. The Teacher must verify the quality and substance of each external link. Artsonia will not be held responsible for any links created by a Teacher registered with Artsonia.

16. If a Teacher chooses to upload class artwork to the Website, the following conditions and restrictions apply:

• Because the Website is directed to children and visitors of all ages, Teachers may not submit artwork or other material that is unsuitable for viewing by children; including without limitation artwork that is sexually explicit, or that depicts nudity or violence.
• Teachers may not submit artwork or other material that depicts or contains copyrighted materials or trademarks owned by others, including without limitation company or product logos, copyrighted cartoon characters or other material that could infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
• For privacy and security reasons, the Teacher may not submit artwork or other material that contains photographs of children under 18 years old, including the Artist themselves.
• Artwork or other material submitted by the Teacher may not display the Artist's last name anywhere on the artwork. The Teacher is solely responsible for reviewing all artwork and other material prior to submission to ensure that it does not display the Artist's last name. Artsonia is not liable or responsible for artwork or other material submitted by a Teacher that depicts the last name of the Artist or other such personally identifiable information.
• To organize artwork, the Teacher inputs the first and (optionally) last names of students in a secured Teacher roster. The first and last names are entered in separate fields, and unique screen names are then generated for each student, based on the information entered in the first name field. It is the Teacher's responsibility to ensure that only the first name is added in the first name field. Artsonia is not liable or responsible for Teachers entering last names or any other personally identifiable information in the first name field.
• Each Artist within the Teacher created roster is assigned a unique "security key." This security key is required for Parents to officially register as the Parent. It is the Teacher's responsibility to ensure that each Artist knows their security key and only shares that security key with their Parents. Teachers may also find more suitable means to communicate the security key to the Parent, including by sending home a private letter to the Parent or otherwise contacting the Parent directly. Alternatively, if the Teacher has access to the Parents' contact information and has permission to do so, the Teacher may "pre-register" the Parent by entering their name and email into the website. This process sends the Parent an invitation email to activate their registration, and does not require use of the security key. If Parents submit the Artist's artwork themselves, the Teacher will not have a security key to distribute.
• Artsonia reserves the right to refuse any artwork that is submitted for display on the Website for any reason and in its sole discretion. In all cases, Artsonia's decision shall be final.

17. If a Teacher chooses to submit a lesson plan starter to the website, the following conditions and limitations apply:

• Teachers may not submit lesson plan starters that contain copyrighted materials or trademarks owned by others, including material that could infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
• Artsonia reserves the right to refuse any lesson plan, lesson plan starter, or other material that is submitted for display on the Website for any reason and in its sole discretion. In all cases, Artsonia's decision shall be final.

18. If a Teacher chooses to submit Artist statement to the website, the following conditions and limitations apply:

• Teachers must ensure the Artist statement does not reveal personally identifiable information about the Artist, especially last names and contact information.
• Artsonia reserves the right to refuse any Artist statement that is submitted for display on the Website for any reason and in its sole discretion. In all cases, Artsonia's decision shall be final.

19. If a Teacher chooses to use the "Art Room News" Parent newsletter feature, the following conditions and limitations apply:

• Teachers should use the "Art Room News" Parent newsletter for educational subject matter only. Under no circumstances shall the Teacher use this newsletter for political, offensive or slanderous subject matter.
• Artsonia reserves the right to pre-approve and refuse any "Art Room News" newsletter that is submitted for distribution to the Parents for any reason and in its sole discretion. In addition, Artsonia reserves the right to disable this feature on a school-wide basis for any reason and in its sole discretion. In all cases, Artsonia's decision shall be final.

20. Licensing

Artsonia Teachers retain ownership of their lesson plan starters. However, by submitting a lesson plan starter, the Teacher grants to Artsonia on behalf of themselves and their school district the irrevocable, royalty-free, assignable, sub-licensable right and license to use, re-use, copy, publish, republish in whole or part, edit, add to, modify, and rearrange submitted lesson plan starters on or in connection with any other media throughout the world, including without limitation the Website.

Teacher understands and agrees that Artsonia may partner with third parties to make the lesson plan starters provided to Artsonia by Teachers accessible to others including for example and without limitation other Artist and educator communities. During the lesson plan starter submission process, Teacher may "opt-out" of sharing individual lesson plan starters with third parties, and then Artsonia will not sub-license the applicable lesson plan starter to any third parties. In addition, Teachers may choose to "opt-out" with regard to a previously submitted lesson plan at any time. However, Teacher understands and agrees that "opting-out" with regard to a previously submitted lesson plan does not terminate any sub-licenses previously granted by Artsonia to any third parties, but Artsonia thereafter shall not grant any additional sub-licenses for the affected lesson plan starter.

Artsonia will remove any artwork of the Parent's child within 14 days after receiving the Parent's written request for removal. However, Artsonia reserves the right to continue to display the child's artwork in any brochures, articles or any other materials that Artsonia had prepared before the request was received.

28. Licensing

Artsonia Artists retain ownership of their artwork. However, by registering as a Parent of an Artist, the Parent, on behalf of both the Parent and the Artist, grants Artsonia the irrevocable, royalty-free, assignable, sub-licensable right and license to use, re-use, copy, publish, republish in whole or part, edit, add to, modify, and rearrange the Artist's artwork solely in connection with:
