Your Rights and My Rights
Can I still post my artwork on my blog or sell the original piece?
Yes! I’m passionate about promoting artists and their work. I am wishing you full-throttle sparkles-in-your-toes success. However, in order to promote your work, I ask that you grant Uncovered Cover Art non-exclusive rights to your artwork.
Why do you ask for a 300 dpi file?
I would love to see your work produced as fine art prints, calendars, and postcards. When this day comes, I will pay you 50% royalties on profits. To be considered for these curated services, it’s a good idea to send a high resolution file.
What’s all this legal stuff in the Terms of Service?
The Terms of Service is a binding agreement that grants Uncovered Cover Art selected rights to your submission. I am dedicated to showcasing, promoting and marketing your art. I’m committed to an artist friendly business model. If I publish your submission in a book, you’ll receive a credit and a free copy of the book. If I use your submission on certain types of licensed products, such as fine art prints or calendars, you’ll actually share in any financial compensation we receive, as specified in the Terms of Service. Most importantly, you retain ownership of all copyrights you may have in your submission.

For avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge that this perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license is irrevocable and you will not be entitled to any royalties or other payment as a result of any efforts by UCA to exploit your User Submission for Books or any promotional activities related thereto or to the Website.
2. If your User Submission (and/or a derivative work thereof) is incorporated in or on any “Licensed Products” as that term is defined in Section 5 (D)(2)(c) below, UCA shall pay you the following on a yearly basis:

b. A pro rata portion of fifty percent (50%) of the Net License Income received by UCA for any Licensed Product that uses or incorporates your User Submission as part of a Collective Work. For example, if your User Submission is incorporated in a Licensed Product, such as a 12 month calendar, along with 11 other User Submissions, UCA shall pay you one twelfth (1/12) of fifty percent (50%) of the Net License Income actually received by UCA for that calendar.
c. Licensed Products are determined at the sole discretion of UCA and are limited to the following tangible consumer products: Stationery, envelopes, art prints, decals, albums, book marks, bumper stickers, coasters, planners, paper napkins, paper plates, paper cups, gift bags, file cards, flash cards, flip books, food wrappers, pens, guest books, paper hand towels, magnetic boards, posters, banners, signs, placemats, table cloths, paperweights, party ornaments, pens & pencils, pen & pencil cases, pushpins, stickers, temporary tattoos; items of wearing apparel; tote bags, hand bags & luggage; computer and mobile phone accessories such as mousepads and skins; textile and fabric goods such as blankets, throws, sheets, pillowcases, and towels; magnets & metal signs; housewares, cookware, glassware and beverageware; fashion accessories, toys, board games; and food and beverages.

e. UCA shall make payments due on Licensed Product within ninety (90) days after the end of the fiscal year in which payment for Licensed Product is received by UCA.
f. You shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes on any monies paid to, or otherwise received by you, from UCA.

h. UCA shall promote your contribution by making commercially practicable efforts to include your credit on Licensed Product, its packaging or on the Website.
3. No casual or inadvertent failure by UCA or any third party to comply with the credit or payment provisions of this Section 5(D) shall constitute a breach of this the Terms of Service; provided that UCA shall use reasonable efforts to prospectively cure any such failure promptly following written notice thereof to the address of UCA as set forth above (with confirmation copy to uncoveredcoverart@gmail.com) unless notification of a change of address is given in writing. All other matters with respect to the credit and/or payment to be accorded to you shall be within UCA’s
E. Upon the request of UCA, and at UCA’s cost, you shall promptly execute and deliver to UCA such documents, assignments, releases, licenses and instruments as may be required or appropriate to effectuate completely the Terms of Service, including without limitation any and all such additional instruments that may be required or requested by, or otherwise appropriate for filing with, the U.S. Copyright Office, U.S. Trademark Office, U.S. Patent Office or any other U.S. or foreign governmental body or entity to protect the User Submission, Content and/or Website and/or document or evidence any of the matters set forth in the terms of Service.

If UCA suspects that you have violated any provision of these Terms of Service, UCA may also seek any other available legal remedy. Your rights under these Terms of Service will terminate automatically if you breach any part of these Terms of Service. You remain solely liable for all obligations related to use of the Websites, even after you have stopped using the Websites.
B. UCA reserves the right to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to, laws regulating obscene or defamatory material. UCA may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a User’s access for uploading such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
7. Copyright Infringement
UUCA does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on its Website, and UCA will remove all Content and User Submissions if properly notified in a manner consistent with law and UCA’s Copyright Infringement Notification policy that such Content or User Submission infringes on another’s intellectual property rights. UCA reserves the right to remove Content and User Submissions without prior notice.
A. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any User Submission or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and,
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
UCA’s designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is:
uncoveredcoverart@gmail.com
You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section 7(A) your DMCA notice may not be valid.
B. Counter-Notice. If you believe that your User Submission that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content in your User Submission, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:
1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and,
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in California and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, UCA may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at UCA’s sole discretion.
C. Repeat Infringers. UCA will terminate the access privileges of any user whom it deems, in its sole authority, has repeatedly infringed the copyright rights of others.
8. Warranty Disclaimer
You agree that your use of the Websites or the products and services available therein shall be at your sole risk. The Websites, Content, User Submissions, and any products or services available on the Websites are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, UCA, its managers, members, employees, licensors, suppliers, and agents disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in connection with the Websites and your use thereof, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. UCA makes no warranties or representations about the accuracy or completeness of the Websites’ Content or the content of any sites linked to these Websites and assumes no liability or responsibility for any (i) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content, (ii) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to and use of the Websites and the products and services available therein, (iii) any unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal information and/or financial information stored therein, (iv) any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Websites, (iv) any bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, or the like which may be transmitted to or through our Websites by any third party, and/or (v) any errors or omissions in any content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Websites. UCA does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or service advertised or offered by a third party through any hyperlinked websites or featured in any banner or other advertising, and UCA will not be a party to or in any way be responsible for monitoring any transaction between you and third-party providers of products or services.
9. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall UCA, its managers, members, employees, licensors, suppliers, or agents, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages whatsoever resulting from your access to or use of the Websites, Content, User Submissions or the products and services available on the Websites. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. The maximum total liability of UCA, its managers, members, employees, licensors, suppliers, or agents to you for any claim under these Terms of Service, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is $100.00. Each provision of the Terms of Service that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is to allocate the risks under this agreement between the parties. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of the Terms of Service. The limitations in this Section 9 will apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
The Websites are controlled and offered by UCA from its facilities in the United States of America. UCA makes no representations that the Websites are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Websites from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with their local law.
10. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless UCA, its managers, members, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Websites; (ii) your violation of any term of these Terms of Service; (iii) your violation of any third party rights, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (iv) any claim that one of your User Submissions caused damage to a third party or to UCA. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms of Service and your termination of use of the Websites.
11. Ability to Accept Terms of Service
You affirm that you are either more than 18 years of age, or an emancipated minor, or possess the consent of your legal parent or guardian, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms of Service, and to abide by and comply with these Terms of Service.
12. Assignment
These Terms of Service, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by UCA without restriction.
13. Notices
By using the Websites, you consent to receiving electronic communications from UCA. These communications will include notices about your account and information concerning or related to the Websites and/or UCA products and services. You agree that any notice, agreement, disclosure or other communication that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
14. Governing Law, Arbitration and Statute of Limitations
These Terms of Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, as if the Terms of Service were a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Any claim or dispute between you and UCA that arises in whole or in part from the subject matter of these Terms of Service, including but not limited to the Websites and User Submissions, regardless of when submitted; shall be settled by confidential arbitration in California, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate UCA’s intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of its affiliates, partners or licensors, UCA may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in any such court. Any arbitration will be conducted in California, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. Any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms of Service, including but not limited to the Websites and any and all User Submissions, must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
15. Entire Agreement, Validity and Waiver
These Terms of Service, together with any other legal notices published by UCA on the Websites, or sent to you electronically, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and UCA concerning the subject matter of these Terms of Service, including but not limited to the Websites and any and all User Submissions, regardless of when submitted; and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations, written or oral, between you and UCA concerning the subject matter of these Terms of Service, including but not limited to the Websites and User Submissions, regardless of when submitted. You hereby waive all rights and remedies, at law or in equity, arising or which may arise, as the result of your reliance on any such prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations, written or oral, between you and UCA concerning the subject matter of these Terms of Service, including but not limited to the Websites and User Submissions, regardless of when submitted. In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by any applicable arbitral award or court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these Terms of Service unenforceable or invalid as a whole. UCA will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of UCA as reflected in the original provision. No waiver of any term of this these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and UCA’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
16. Survival
The following sections of the Terms of Service shall survive its expiration or termination: Sections 3B, 5, 6A, 8, 9, 10, 15B & C. It is understood and agreed that whether or not it is specifically so provided herein, any provision of the Terms of Service which by its nature and effect is required to be observed, kept, or performed after the termination or voidability of the Terms of Service shall survive such termination or voidability, and shall be and remain binding upon and for the benefit of the parties hereto until fully observed, kept, or performed.
