    6. We and You are hereinafter referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties".
 
  1. Who is Looperz? Looperz is an innovative and ambitious digital platform whose objective is to constitute a "Market place" for photographers, and in general for all lovers of visual art. As an Artist, Looperz helps you to promote and distribute your Works while it allows Customers to easily and legally order Works in a specific format. From then on, the Artist benefits from a secure online payment system, as well as a printing and logistics service for the realization of the Clients' orders. Registration on the platform is free and is done by creating a personal account that allows the Artist to make his/her Works available on the Platform. The Artist is paid in proportion to the sales of the Works.
  
  1. Scope of these terms and conditions: These terms and conditions define the conditions governing your access and use of the Platform through one or more personal accounts and govern the relationship between yourself or the company you represent and BLUE SKY CONSULT. By registering for the Platform, you (on behalf of yourself or the company you represent) agree to be bound by all of the provisions of these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions define the obligations of each of the Parties and apply to all our contractual relationships. These terms and conditions are brought to the Artist's attention by their addition to their registration on Looperz. A copy of these terms and conditions is also available on the Platform. The Artist acknowledges having read and accepted our terms and conditions, which are automatically applicable to all services available on the Platform. Any deviation from our terms and conditions requires written confirmation from us. These terms and conditions are the only ones applicable.
 
 
  1. Your Account: You need a personal account to use the Platform services. To create an account on the Platform, you must fill in the digital form submitted and be registered with the Central Enterprise Bank and have a VAT number. We reserve the right to deny access, terminate an account, remove or edit content if you are in violation of applicable laws, these terms and conditions or any other Looperz terms, conditions, guidelines or policies.
 
  1. Operation and use of Looperz: The Artist creates a personal account and then has the possibility of making his/her Works available by selecting those that he/she intends to put on sale on the Platform. In this respect, the Artist will comply strictly with the terms and conditions laid down by the Platform. In particular, the Artist will classify his/her photos in accordance with the categories proposed and will add, if necessary, a title, a description as well as any other information requested by Looperz (keywords, print formats, file type, etc.). The Artist will always ensure that he/she provides his/her Works in the form of a file of sufficient definition to allow printing in the formats made available on the Platform. The Artist is solely responsible for the quality of the file in relation to the intended printing. BLUE SKY CONSULT has a discretionary choice on the selection of the Artist. Consequently, we can refuse to put on sale all or part of the Works offered for sale or suspend the online publication of the Works as long as the information filled in by the Artist is not in conformity. The Customer places his order in accordance with the selection approved by BLUE SKY CONSULT, which will entrust an independent service provider with the production of the print in the chosen format and the shipping of it. The full amount of the Customer's order is collected directly on behalf of BLUE SKY CONSULT. The Artist is paid for all the orders of his or her Works made on the Platform in accordance with article 6 of these general conditions.
 
  1. Terms of payment: On a monthly basis, BLUE SKY CONSULT will issue an invoice to BLUE SKY CONSULT on behalf of the Artist, who has authorised it to do so by accepting these terms and conditions, for the amount due to it as payment for the month in question. However, the Artist accepts that if the total amount of his or her fees is less than 75€ including tax, the issue of his or her invoice will be postponed to the following month for a maximum of 3 consecutive months. The Artist's invoices are payable no later than 60 days after their date of issue. In the event of a complaint about an invoice, including in terms of amount, the Artist must notify BLUE SKY CONSULT within 15 (fifteen) days of receipt of the invoice, on pain of foreclosure. After this period, the invoices will be considered as definitively accepted by the Artist. In any event, the Artist is solely responsible for all his or her social security and tax obligations, including VAT. Consequently, the Artist expressly acknowledges that he/she alone remains responsible in the event of failure to comply with invoicing rules and that he/she will suffer the consequences with regard to VAT.
 
  1. The Artist's obligations and responsibilities: The Artist is responsible for the data and information that he or she provides to us for the purposes of granting the licence to use the Platform, guarantees its accuracy and undertakes to inform us of any changes.

He/she guarantees that the Works do not contain any text or image that is contrary to any legal or regulatory provision and that they comply with the law and jurisprudence relating to image rights.
