Terms of Service

Draft. These terms are under legal review and may change before sales open.

Effective November 2026. These terms apply to everyone who uses thesisart.com. Artists also agree to the Artist Agreement.

1. Who we are. Thesis Art is operated by Solera Family LLC, 30 Cooper Square, New York, New York. Contact: hello@thesisart.com.
2. What Thesis Art is. Thesis Art is a marketplace where current college and university art students sell original work. Each piece is sold by the artist. Thesis Art lists the work, collects payment for the artist and helps arrange delivery. Thesis Art is not affiliated with or endorsed by any school.
3. Who can use it. You must be 18 or older to buy, sell or create an account.
4. Accounts. Give accurate information and keep your login private. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
5. Buying. When you pay for a piece you are buying it from the artist at the listed price, plus shipping and any sales tax shown at checkout. Listings are approved by Thesis Art, but Thesis Art has not inspected the work in person and does not guarantee its condition, materials or future value.
6. Pickup and shipping. Delivery follows the Policies. For pickup, meet in a public place. Thesis Art is not present at pickups and is not responsible for what happens at them.
7. Returns. Sales are final except as the Policies allow for work that is damaged, materially not as described or not received. Report a problem within 3 days of delivery or pickup.
8. Copyright in the art. Buying a piece gives you the physical object. The artist keeps the copyright. You may not make or sell copies.
9. Site content. Photos and text on the site belong to the artists or to Thesis Art. You may not copy, scrape or reuse them without permission, except to share a link.
10. Conduct. Do not use the site to break the law, harass anyone, post false information, interfere with the site, or arrange a sale outside the site for a piece you found on it.
11. Copyright complaints. If you believe a listing copies your work, email hello@thesisart.com with your name, the listing link, the work you say was copied and a statement that your complaint is accurate. Thesis Art will review it and may remove the listing.
12. AI agent. Thesis Art uses an AI agent for much of its email and support. If you ask whether you are dealing with a person or an AI, Thesis Art will tell you. You can ask for a person at any time.
13. Email. If you give us your email we will send messages about your orders or listings. We send marketing email only if you opt in, and every marketing email has an unsubscribe link.
14. Removal. Thesis Art may suspend an account or remove a listing that breaks these terms or the Policies.
15. Disclaimer. The site is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, Thesis Art makes no warranties about the site or the work sold on it.
16. Limit of liability. To the extent the law allows, Thesis Art's total liability to you for any claim related to the site or a purchase is limited to the amount you paid for the piece involved, or $100 if no purchase is involved. Thesis Art is not liable for indirect or consequential losses.
17. Law. New York law governs these terms. Disputes go to the state or federal courts in New York County.
18. Changes. We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change is significant we will email account holders before it takes effect.
