Artists must apply through the Marketplace application process on the Site. Your application will progress through our review workflow: draft, processing, under review, and then either approved, rejected, or published. Acceptance is at our sole discretion.

All artwork uploaded to the Marketplace must meet the following standards:
Quality Requirements:

Content Requirements — you may not upload artwork that:
- Infringes the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of any third party.
- Contains trademarks, logos, or branding you do not own or have authorization to use.
- Is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, threatening, harassing, or obscene.
- Depicts or promotes illegal activity.
- Contains personally identifiable information of third parties without their consent.
- Violates any applicable federal, provincial, state, or local law.
2.3 Content Review
Uploaded artwork goes through a review workflow before publication. Artwork may be held in any of the following statuses: draft, processing, under review, approved, rejected, or published. We reserve the right to reject artwork that does not meet our content standards or that we determine, in our sole discretion, is not suitable for the Marketplace.
2.4 Representations and Warranties
By uploading artwork, you represent and warrant that you are the original creator of the artwork or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to grant the license described in Section 3, that the artwork does not infringe the rights of any third party, that you have obtained any necessary model or property releases for recognizable individuals or private property depicted in the artwork, and that the artwork complies with all applicable laws.
3. License Granted to JustPix
3.1 Scope of License
By uploading artwork to the Marketplace, you grant JustPix a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to:
- Display your artwork on the Site, including creating thumbnails, previews, watermarked samples, and other derivative display formats.
- Reproduce your artwork on physical products (prints, canvases, framed art, and related items) for the purpose of fulfilling customer orders.
- Market and promote your artwork in JustPix marketing materials, including but not limited to paid advertisements on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram), social media posts, email marketing campaigns, website featured sections, and partner or affiliate promotions.
- Create derivative formats necessary for production and display, including resizing, cropping for product templates, colour profile adjustments, and format conversion.
3.2 What This License Does Not Include
This license does not grant JustPix ownership of your artwork, the right to sub-license your artwork to third parties for their independent use, the right to sell or distribute digital copies of your artwork as standalone files, or the right to use your artwork in any manner unrelated to the Marketplace or JustPix's business operations.
3.3 Duration of License
This license remains in effect for as long as your artwork is published on the Marketplace. When you remove artwork (see Section 6), the license terminates going forward, with the following exceptions: orders already in production or fulfilled before removal will not be recalled, and marketing materials already published or distributed before removal may remain in circulation for a reasonable wind-down period not to exceed 90 days.
4. Tier System and Earnings
4.1 Tier Structure
Artists are placed into performance tiers based on rolling 90-day sales data. The current tiers are:
| Tier | Description |
|---|---|
| Debut | Entry tier for new marketplace artists |
| Emerging | Increased sales activity over the 90-day window |
| Rising | Consistent and growing sales performance |
| Gold | Strong sustained sales performance |
| Platinum | Top-performing marketplace artists |
4.2 How Earnings Are Calculated
Your earnings per sale are determined by a base surcharge amount (which varies by product type) multiplied by your tier multiplier (ranging from 1.0x at Debut to 2.5x or higher at Platinum). The specific base surcharge amounts and multiplier values are displayed in your artist dashboard and may be updated from time to time.
4.3 Tier Movement
Tier assignments are recalculated automatically based on your rolling 90-day sales performance. You may move up or down tiers as your sales volume changes. Tier changes take effect at the next calculation cycle.
4.4 Earnings Transparency
You can view your current tier, earnings history, and sales performance in your artist dashboard at any time.
5. Payouts
5.1 Payment Method
All Marketplace earnings are paid out via PayPal. You must provide and maintain a valid PayPal email address in your Marketplace settings.
5.2 Payout Schedule
Payouts are processed on a monthly basis. The specific payout date and any minimum payout thresholds are communicated in your artist dashboard.
5.3 Taxes
You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any income taxes, sales taxes, or other taxes applicable to your Marketplace earnings. JustPix does not withhold taxes on your behalf unless required by law. If required by law, we may request tax identification information from you (such as a Social Insurance Number, Social Security Number, or business tax number) and issue applicable tax forms.
5.4 Currency
Earnings are calculated and paid in the currency displayed in your artist dashboard. Currency conversion, if applicable, is handled by PayPal at their prevailing exchange rate.
6. Removing Your Artwork
6.1 Your Right to Remove
You may remove any of your artwork from the Marketplace at any time through your artist dashboard. Removal takes effect promptly, subject to the license survival terms described in Section 3.3.
6.2 JustPix's Right to Remove
We reserve the right to remove any artwork from the Marketplace at any time, with or without notice, for reasons including but not limited to violation of the content standards in Section 2.2, receipt of a valid copyright infringement claim (see Section 8), changes to our business operations or content policies, and inactivity on your account for an extended period. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you if your artwork is removed and provide a reason where practical.
7. Creator Program — Additional Terms
7.1 Overview
Certain artists may also participate in the JustPix creator program, which involves producing original content (photos, videos) featuring JustPix products for marketing purposes, in addition to selling artwork on the Marketplace. The creator program is a separate, optional opportunity.
7.2 Content Agreements
By joining the creator program, you explicitly agree to the following five content terms:
- Ad Usage. Content you create may be used in paid advertisements on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and other paid advertising channels.
- Repurposing. Content you create may be repurposed by JustPix for future marketing campaigns across any channel.
- Original Content. You will create original content photographed or filmed in your own space, without watermarks, third-party filters, or content that you do not have the right to use.
- Evergreen Usage. Content usage rights are evergreen (perpetual) unless a different term is explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and JustPix.
- Raw Footage. You will provide raw footage and a clean MP4 file upon request by JustPix.
7.3 Referral Commissions
Creators earn referral commissions on qualifying purchases made through their unique referral link. Purchase attribution is tracked via a referral cookie placed on the buyer's browser. The cookie duration is configurable in your creator settings. Commission rates and structure are communicated during the application process and may be updated from time to time with reasonable notice.
7.4 Creator Program Termination
Either you or JustPix may terminate your participation in the creator program at any time by providing written notice (email is sufficient). Upon termination, your referral link will be deactivated, earned but unpaid commissions will be paid out on the next regular payout cycle, and content usage rights granted under Section 7.2 survive termination as stated (evergreen unless otherwise agreed in writing).
8. Copyright Infringement Claims
8.1 Respect for Third-Party Rights
JustPix respects intellectual property rights and expects Marketplace artists to do the same. If we receive a valid notice of copyright infringement regarding your artwork, we will remove or disable access to the artwork promptly, notify you of the claim and provide a copy of the notice, and give you the opportunity to submit a counter-notice if you believe the claim is invalid.
8.2 Repeat Infringers
We reserve the right to terminate the Marketplace participation of any artist who is the subject of repeated copyright infringement claims.
8.3 Filing a Claim
If you believe artwork on the Marketplace infringes your copyright, please follow the DMCA / copyright notice procedure described in our Terms and Conditions.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Marketing Department Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your artwork (including any claim that your artwork infringes third-party rights), your breach of this Agreement, your violation of any applicable law, and your participation in the creator program, including content you produce.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JUSTPIX'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL EARNINGS PAID TO YOU THROUGH THE MARKETPLACE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $100.00), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
