These terms and conditions apply to the sale of artworks on the Platfrom or otherwise by MutualArt. By placing an order for artworks on the Platform, you ("You" or the "Buyer") accept and agree to be bound by these terms of sale. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not purchase artworks on the Platform. MutualArt.com reserves the right to modify or amend these Terms from time to time without notice.

What We Do and Product Descriptions - The works of art made available for sale on the Platform may not always be in the physical possession of MutualArt and may be physically located anywhere in the world. You acknowledge that we customarily offer artworks for sale on behalf of third-party sellers, which may be unnamed, on a consignment basis or otherwise. As a result, in offering certain artworks on the Platform and accepting and fulfilling orders we are acting as the applicable seller’s agent and we do not take or transfer title to the artwork offered for sale on the Platform. We do not produce, endorse, or recommend any of the artworks made available through the Platform. With respect to artworks that are offered for sale on a consignment basis or on behalf of the seller, we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or otherwise associated with any consignor or seller, or the retailer, designer, manufacturer, artist, author or other creator of the artworks. You acknowledge that the art offered on the Platform may be vintage in nature or may have been previously owned, thus it might bare signs of wear, and therefore, MutualArt is in no way liable for the condition of the painting/work of art. We or the applicable seller may offer a limited certificate of authenticity with respect to artworks offered for sale through the Platform, unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase. Except as set forth in the certificate of authenticity (if applicable) MutualArt makes no warranties or gives any representations about the artwork status or condition and shall not be held responsible for the quality of the artwork. MutualArt's total liability will be limited to the purchase price paid for the artwork. MutualArt shall assume no responsibility for any errors or omissions that may occur in the description, pricing or other content related to the artwork. In the event of such an error, MutualArt reserves the right to cancel the order placed by the Buyer by informing the Buyer in writing.
Orders. Placing an order on the Platform or alternative means of communication with MutualArt constitutes an irrevocable acceptance of the purchase. Unless cancelled by MutualArt within 5 working days on account of a default by the artist or the artwork owner or any prior or continuing breach by the Buyer, such acceptance results in an enforceable contact of sale. The contract of sale is between MutualArt (acting as the agent of the artist or the artwork owners) and the Buyer (or between the applicable seller and the Buyer). . MutualArt shall have the right to cancel any order placed on the Platform, at any time prior to the delivery of the artwork, without assigning any reason whatsoever. MutualArt also reserve the right to take steps to verify your identity before accepting or processing your order. Please note that all purchases are final, non-refundable, and may not be canceled or modified by you, except with our express written consent under circumstances that we consider appropriate at our sole discretion. MutualArt reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the offering of any artwork through the Platform at any time, in its sole discretion.
Prices and Payment. All prices posted on the Platform are subject to change without notice. MutualArt will advise the Buyer regarding the price of artworks made available for sale on the Platform. The price of the artwork listed does not include duties, taxes, insurance, shipping and handling, which will be charged as applicable and would depend on the physical location of the artwork as well as the shipping address provided by You. The information provided at the time of finalizing a purchase shall include the final billing address and shipping address for delivery of the artwork. The Buyer agrees that the Buyer is liable for any duties and taxes that might be applicable on the purchase and such charges shall be payable in addition to the price of the artwork. All invoices will be issued by MutualArt or by the applicable seller based on the information provided by the Buyer or amended at the time of finalizing a purchase. Prices on the Website are shown in US Dollars unless otherwise indicated. MutualArt will not be responsible for any currency exchange difference, including when providing a refund. MutualArt may process payments through third-party service providers, which may post operating rules related to payment on their respective websites and change such rules from time to time. Once an order is placed through the Platform, the Buyer is required to make payment for the price of the artwork as well as the charges referred to above within 7 days from the date of placing the order, unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase. In the event that MutualArt (or the applicable seller) does not receive payment within 7 days MutualArt reserves the right to cancel the order without prior notice to the Buyer. Alternately, and without prejudice to the foregoing, MutualArt may, at its absolute discretion, hold the artwork for the Buyer and charge any storage and insurance costs applicable on the purchase and/or may seek to commence legal proceedings (acting as the agent of the Seller) to ensure execution of the contract of sale.
Shipping and Miscellaneous. The artwork will be delivered/shipped to the Buyer once all necessary documentation, relating to transportation, address, insurance, tax, etc. as may be reasonably requested for by MutualArt are completed and payment has been realized in full including any additional charges. Once the payment is realized it may take up to 30 working days to dispatch the artwork. MutualArt shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused by a delay in shipment. Nor shall MutualArt be responsible for delays in delivery and performance that are due to events of force majeure or events beyond its or the applicable seller's reasonable control or that of its subcontractors (including, in particular, strikes, lock-outs, governmental orders, shortage in energy or transportation, etc.). In such a case, MutualArt shall be entitled to either (i) postpone the delivery and performance by a period corresponding to that of the event of force majeure increased with a reasonable restarting time.
Acceptance. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts the delivery is assumed to be authorized to receive it. If you have chosen someone else to receive the delivery, all of the terms and conditions that were supposed to apply to you will apply to him/her.
Your Duty. You agree to abide by all provisions prescribed in these terms and conditions. In particular, you warrant that all information that you submit will be true and accurate (including without limitation your credit card number and expiration date and that you are of legal age to enter into a binding contract), and you agree to pay all costs, charges plus all applicable taxes for the purchases made by you.
Please refer to the terms of our Privacy Policy, and to the terms of use on the Website which together with these Terms and Conditions of Sale govern your use of the Platform in connection with the sale of artworks on the Platform. If there is a conflict between the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use on the Website and these Terms and Conditions of Sale, these Terms and Conditions of Sale shall prevail. For artworks sold on behalf of third-party sellers, additional terms specified by the applicable seller may apply.

ANNEX A

AUCTION HOUSE PARTNERSHIP TERMS OF SERVICE

Introduction.
By using our services, you as an Auction House ("Auction House" or "You") agree to be bound by this Terms & Conditions ("T&C"), that will constitute a contract between MUTUALART DMCC ("MA", "We" or "Us") and Auction House and stipulates the terms of our business collaboration (the "Collaboration").
Referrals.
MA owns and operates the online website www.mutualart.com (the "Website"), a leading online data engine platform offering a one-stop shop service for its users in the field of the art business. As such, MA possesses a large database of its registered members with whom it regularly communicates via multiple platforms, including through smart alerts and email.
As part of our Collaboration, MA shall introduce and refer to You MA's users who are: (i) owners of artworks who have indicated that they are potentially interested in selling their artworks, whether through auction or otherwise, via, inter alia, Auction House's platform; and (ii) potential buyers for artworks offered and promoted for sale by Auction House (both (i) and (ii), in each case solely to the extent such owners or potential buyers are not Active Users, shall be referred to herein as "Referral(s)").
An "Active User" shall refer to a preexisting Auction House's user and/or client who has completed a purchase or a sale through Auction House during the period of 6 months prior to an introduction made by MA to Auction House of that user. For the avoidance of doubt, an Auction House' user who has not made a purchase or sale with Auction House within the past 6 months leading up to the introduction or referral made by MA shall be deemed and referred to herein as a "Dormant User". In the event that MA introduces or refers a Dormant User to Auction House, and that Dormant User completes a sale or purchase with Auction House, MA shall be entitled to Commission (as defined below) in respect of that sale or purchase.
Insofar as an MA user is interested in either selling or purchasing an artwork through the Platform (as defined below), MA shall refer such user to the Platform, so as to allow them to complete the applicable process with Auction House, i.e., either placing a bid on an artwork or uploading an artwork for sale. MA and Auction House shall work together in good faith to structure a procedure to monitor and manage offline sales in accordance with the terms hereof.
MA makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any Referral will bid, purchase, or that any artwork will be sold on or through the Platform, and disclaims all implied warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Auction House is solely responsible, at its own cost, for negotiating all transactional terms, verifying the condition and authenticity of any artwork, arranging packing, shipping and customs, and satisfying any other requirements to consummate a Qualified Sale (as defined below); MA has no obligation to conduct or facilitate negotiations, logistics, or dispute resolution.
Only in the event that a Referral is one of MA's premium users and that user has indicated its desire to facilitate the sale of an artwork as part of a "hands off" process, MA will render support to complete the transaction on that user's behalf, including performing KYC checks, arranging photography, completing consignment forms, and handling the transaction proceeds.
Sales and Commission.
As consideration for MA's referral services, Auction House shall pay MA commission, to be agreed and determined by the parties on an artwork-by-artwork basis, applied to the Artwork Selling Price (as defined below) for each Qualified Sale, plus VAT -if applicable- (the "Commission").
The term "Artwork Selling Price" shall mean the final price paid by a buyer for an artwork, excluding transactional expenses paid by Auction House in connection thereto - meaning: shipping and handling, insurance, local sales (or VAT) taxes and related transactional fees, as may be customary under applicable law (except for income tax).
A "Qualified Sale" shall mean either:
1. A sale of an artwork uploaded by a Referral to the Platform (i.e., the Referral is an artwork seller).
2. An artwork sold on the Platform to a Referral (as buyer).
3. Additionally, MA shall offer Auction House the opportunity to review artworks listed for sale by MA users on MA's platform, and Auction House may, at its discretion, submit a written offer to purchase an artwork available on MA's platform (a "Sale Offer"). The purchase price offered by Auction House for an artwork within a Sale Offer shall be Auction House's estimate of the price, provided in good faith, that the relevant artwork would be likely to achieve if that artwork were to be sold at an auction. Any completed Sale Offer, shall also be considered a Qualified Sale. Concomitantly with the Sale Offer, Auction House shall send to MA a commission offer at the rate determined in the acceptance form executed via the Website prior to using MA's services, applied to the Artwork Selling Price. In circumstances where an artwork is of a high value (US$ 11,000 or above) or is regarded as a significant art piece, Auction House may offer a higher commission (e.g., a higher percentage or a 50/50 split of Auction House´s premium) (the "Enhanced Commission"). It shall be MA´s option to accept or reject the Enhanced Commission and accordingly, to submit or not the Sale Offer to the relevant user (being the seller of the artwork) for consideration and approval.
Both Commission and Enhanced Commission apply to any artwork sale conducted through the Platform or via any other way managed, controlled or sponsored by Auction House, in each case, with such sale or purchase being made within the period of 36 months of the date of the Referral being referred to Auction House by MA (the "Exclusivity Period").
For the avoidance of any doubt, if following a Referral made by MA, an artwork sale or purchase involving such Referral is consummated within the Exclusivity Period through the intervention, participation or facilitation of any third party, or otherwise outside the Platform, Auction House shall remain fully liable to pay MA the applicable Commission or Enhanced Commission, as the case may be, as if such sale had been conducted directly through the Platform.
Auction House shall act in good faith in informing MA of any Qualified Sales. For the purpose of recording Qualified Sales, at MA exclusive choice, Auction House shall:
1. Auction House will furnish MA, within 10 days of the end of the every calendar quarter, a report of all Referrals and Qualified Sales made by or to Referrals during the preceding quarter ("Report"). Coincident with each Report but not later than five (5) days thereafter, Auction House shall also transfer the Commission or Enhanced Commission to MA for the respective Qualified Sales, against a duly invoice by MA. Upon MA's request, Auction House shall share with MA a report presenting a breakdown of all Referrals and/or Qualified Sales consummated until such time; or
2. Use a data-sharing platform to compare MA's referral list with Auction House's list of purchasers and sold works. The cost of such data-sharing platform shall be borne equally by the Parties (50% each).
If both options are not feasible or cannot be implemented in a straightforward manner, Auction House and MA shall discuss and negotiate a process for recording such transactions, including through periodic reporting and meetings.

What We Do and Product Descriptions - The works of art made available for sale on the Platform may not always be in the physical possession of MutualArt and may be physically located anywhere in the world. You acknowledge that we customarily offer artworks for sale on behalf of third-party sellers, which may be unnamed, on a consignment basis or otherwise. As a result, in offering certain artworks on the Platform and accepting and fulfilling orders we are acting as the applicable seller’s agent and we do not take or transfer title to the artwork offered for sale on the Platform. We do not produce, endorse, or recommend any of the artworks made available through the Platform. With respect to artworks that are offered for sale on a consignment basis or on behalf of the seller, we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or otherwise associated with any consignor or seller, or the retailer, designer, manufacturer, artist, author or other creator of the artworks. You acknowledge that the art offered on the Platform may be vintage in nature or may have been previously owned, thus it might bare signs of wear, and therefore, MutualArt is in no way liable for the condition of the painting/work of art. We or the applicable seller may offer a limited certificate of authenticity with respect to artworks offered for sale through the Platform, unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase. Except as set forth in the certificate of authenticity (if applicable) MutualArt makes no warranties or gives any representations about the artwork status or condition and shall not be held responsible for the quality of the artwork. MutualArt's total liability will be limited to the purchase price paid for the artwork. MutualArt shall assume no responsibility for any errors or omissions that may occur in the description, pricing or other content related to the artwork. In the event of such an error, MutualArt reserves the right to cancel the order placed by the Buyer by informing the Buyer in writing.

Orders. Placing an order on the Platform or alternative means of communication with MutualArt constitutes an irrevocable acceptance of the purchase. Unless cancelled by MutualArt within 5 working days on account of a default by the artist or the artwork owner or any prior or continuing breach by the Buyer, such acceptance results in an enforceable contact of sale. The contract of sale is between MutualArt (acting as the agent of the artist or the artwork owners) and the Buyer (or between the applicable seller and the Buyer). . MutualArt shall have the right to cancel any order placed on the Platform, at any time prior to the delivery of the artwork, without assigning any reason whatsoever. MutualArt also reserve the right to take steps to verify your identity before accepting or processing your order. Please note that all purchases are final, non-refundable, and may not be canceled or modified by you, except with our express written consent under circumstances that we consider appropriate at our sole discretion. MutualArt reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the offering of any artwork through the Platform at any time, in its sole discretion.

Prices and Payment. All prices posted on the Platform are subject to change without notice. MutualArt will advise the Buyer regarding the price of artworks made available for sale on the Platform. The price of the artwork listed does not include duties, taxes, insurance, shipping and handling, which will be charged as applicable and would depend on the physical location of the artwork as well as the shipping address provided by You. The information provided at the time of finalizing a purchase shall include the final billing address and shipping address for delivery of the artwork. The Buyer agrees that the Buyer is liable for any duties and taxes that might be applicable on the purchase and such charges shall be payable in addition to the price of the artwork. All invoices will be issued by MutualArt or by the applicable seller based on the information provided by the Buyer or amended at the time of finalizing a purchase. Prices on the Website are shown in US Dollars unless otherwise indicated. MutualArt will not be responsible for any currency exchange difference, including when providing a refund. MutualArt may process payments through third-party service providers, which may post operating rules related to payment on their respective websites and change such rules from time to time. Once an order is placed through the Platform, the Buyer is required to make payment for the price of the artwork as well as the charges referred to above within 7 days from the date of placing the order, unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase. In the event that MutualArt (or the applicable seller) does not receive payment within 7 days MutualArt reserves the right to cancel the order without prior notice to the Buyer. Alternately, and without prejudice to the foregoing, MutualArt may, at its absolute discretion, hold the artwork for the Buyer and charge any storage and insurance costs applicable on the purchase and/or may seek to commence legal proceedings (acting as the agent of the Seller) to ensure execution of the contract of sale.

Shipping and Miscellaneous. The artwork will be delivered/shipped to the Buyer once all necessary documentation, relating to transportation, address, insurance, tax, etc. as may be reasonably requested for by MutualArt are completed and payment has been realized in full including any additional charges. Once the payment is realized it may take up to 30 working days to dispatch the artwork. MutualArt shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused by a delay in shipment. Nor shall MutualArt be responsible for delays in delivery and performance that are due to events of force majeure or events beyond its or the applicable seller's reasonable control or that of its subcontractors (including, in particular, strikes, lock-outs, governmental orders, shortage in energy or transportation, etc.). In such a case, MutualArt shall be entitled to either (i) postpone the delivery and performance by a period corresponding to that of the event of force majeure increased with a reasonable restarting time.

Acceptance. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts the delivery is assumed to be authorized to receive it. If you have chosen someone else to receive the delivery, all of the terms and conditions that were supposed to apply to you will apply to him/her.

Your Duty. You agree to abide by all provisions prescribed in these terms and conditions. In particular, you warrant that all information that you submit will be true and accurate (including without limitation your credit card number and expiration date and that you are of legal age to enter into a binding contract), and you agree to pay all costs, charges plus all applicable taxes for the purchases made by you.

Please refer to the terms of our Privacy Policy, and to the terms of use on the Website which together with these Terms and Conditions of Sale govern your use of the Platform in connection with the sale of artworks on the Platform. If there is a conflict between the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use on the Website and these Terms and Conditions of Sale, these Terms and Conditions of Sale shall prevail. For artworks sold on behalf of third-party sellers, additional terms specified by the applicable seller may apply.

ANNEX A

AUCTION HOUSE PARTNERSHIP TERMS OF SERVICE

Introduction.

By using our services, you as an Auction House ("Auction House" or "You") agree to be bound by this Terms & Conditions ("T&C"), that will constitute a contract between MUTUALART DMCC ("MA", "We" or "Us") and Auction House and stipulates the terms of our business collaboration (the "Collaboration").

Referrals.

MA owns and operates the online website www.mutualart.com (the "Website"), a leading online data engine platform offering a one-stop shop service for its users in the field of the art business. As such, MA possesses a large database of its registered members with whom it regularly communicates via multiple platforms, including through smart alerts and email.

As part of our Collaboration, MA shall introduce and refer to You MA's users who are: (i) owners of artworks who have indicated that they are potentially interested in selling their artworks, whether through auction or otherwise, via, inter alia, Auction House's platform; and (ii) potential buyers for artworks offered and promoted for sale by Auction House (both (i) and (ii), in each case solely to the extent such owners or potential buyers are not Active Users, shall be referred to herein as "Referral(s)").

An "Active User" shall refer to a preexisting Auction House's user and/or client who has completed a purchase or a sale through Auction House during the period of 6 months prior to an introduction made by MA to Auction House of that user. For the avoidance of doubt, an Auction House' user who has not made a purchase or sale with Auction House within the past 6 months leading up to the introduction or referral made by MA shall be deemed and referred to herein as a "Dormant User". In the event that MA introduces or refers a Dormant User to Auction House, and that Dormant User completes a sale or purchase with Auction House, MA shall be entitled to Commission (as defined below) in respect of that sale or purchase.

Insofar as an MA user is interested in either selling or purchasing an artwork through the Platform (as defined below), MA shall refer such user to the Platform, so as to allow them to complete the applicable process with Auction House, i.e., either placing a bid on an artwork or uploading an artwork for sale. MA and Auction House shall work together in good faith to structure a procedure to monitor and manage offline sales in accordance with the terms hereof.

MA makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any Referral will bid, purchase, or that any artwork will be sold on or through the Platform, and disclaims all implied warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Auction House is solely responsible, at its own cost, for negotiating all transactional terms, verifying the condition and authenticity of any artwork, arranging packing, shipping and customs, and satisfying any other requirements to consummate a Qualified Sale (as defined below); MA has no obligation to conduct or facilitate negotiations, logistics, or dispute resolution.

Only in the event that a Referral is one of MA's premium users and that user has indicated its desire to facilitate the sale of an artwork as part of a "hands off" process, MA will render support to complete the transaction on that user's behalf, including performing KYC checks, arranging photography, completing consignment forms, and handling the transaction proceeds.

Sales and Commission.

As consideration for MA's referral services, Auction House shall pay MA commission, to be agreed and determined by the parties on an artwork-by-artwork basis, applied to the Artwork Selling Price (as defined below) for each Qualified Sale, plus VAT -if applicable- (the "Commission").

The term "Artwork Selling Price" shall mean the final price paid by a buyer for an artwork, excluding transactional expenses paid by Auction House in connection thereto - meaning: shipping and handling, insurance, local sales (or VAT) taxes and related transactional fees, as may be customary under applicable law (except for income tax).

A "Qualified Sale" shall mean either:

A sale of an artwork uploaded by a Referral to the Platform (i.e., the Referral is an artwork seller).
An artwork sold on the Platform to a Referral (as buyer).
Additionally, MA shall offer Auction House the opportunity to review artworks listed for sale by MA users on MA's platform, and Auction House may, at its discretion, submit a written offer to purchase an artwork available on MA's platform (a "Sale Offer"). The purchase price offered by Auction House for an artwork within a Sale Offer shall be Auction House's estimate of the price, provided in good faith, that the relevant artwork would be likely to achieve if that artwork were to be sold at an auction. Any completed Sale Offer, shall also be considered a Qualified Sale. Concomitantly with the Sale Offer, Auction House shall send to MA a commission offer at the rate determined in the acceptance form executed via the Website prior to using MA's services, applied to the Artwork Selling Price. In circumstances where an artwork is of a high value (US$ 11,000 or above) or is regarded as a significant art piece, Auction House may offer a higher commission (e.g., a higher percentage or a 50/50 split of Auction House´s premium) (the "Enhanced Commission"). It shall be MA´s option to accept or reject the Enhanced Commission and accordingly, to submit or not the Sale Offer to the relevant user (being the seller of the artwork) for consideration and approval.

Both Commission and Enhanced Commission apply to any artwork sale conducted through the Platform or via any other way managed, controlled or sponsored by Auction House, in each case, with such sale or purchase being made within the period of 36 months of the date of the Referral being referred to Auction House by MA (the "Exclusivity Period").

For the avoidance of any doubt, if following a Referral made by MA, an artwork sale or purchase involving such Referral is consummated within the Exclusivity Period through the intervention, participation or facilitation of any third party, or otherwise outside the Platform, Auction House shall remain fully liable to pay MA the applicable Commission or Enhanced Commission, as the case may be, as if such sale had been conducted directly through the Platform.

Auction House shall act in good faith in informing MA of any Qualified Sales. For the purpose of recording Qualified Sales, at MA exclusive choice, Auction House shall:

Auction House will furnish MA, within 10 days of the end of the every calendar quarter, a report of all Referrals and Qualified Sales made by or to Referrals during the preceding quarter ("Report"). Coincident with each Report but not later than five (5) days thereafter, Auction House shall also transfer the Commission or Enhanced Commission to MA for the respective Qualified Sales, against a duly invoice by MA. Upon MA's request, Auction House shall share with MA a report presenting a breakdown of all Referrals and/or Qualified Sales consummated until such time; or
Use a data-sharing platform to compare MA's referral list with Auction House's list of purchasers and sold works. The cost of such data-sharing platform shall be borne equally by the Parties (50% each).

If both options are not feasible or cannot be implemented in a straightforward manner, Auction House and MA shall discuss and negotiate a process for recording such transactions, including through periodic reporting and meetings.

All payments made by Auction House to MA will be in United States Dollars via a wire transfer to a bank account designated by MA, unless agreed otherwise by the parties in writing.

Auction House will bear and be responsible for the payment of all taxes associated with the sale of artworks, excluding all taxes attributed directly to MA pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. MA shall bear all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges associated with any Commission and Enhanced Commission properly received by it.

MA shall not modify, amend, alter or sublicense the Content or any of Auction House's trademarks, logos, name or other intellectual property nor use such Content or intellectual property in any manner other than allowable herein.
