These Conditions of Sale (“Conditions”) describe the relationship between Artcific Corporaiton d/b/a Artcific (“Artcific” or “we” or “our” or “us”) and the buyers, prospective buyers, bidders, sellers and prospective sellers that use the Artcific website, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services to buy, bid on, inquire about, list, market, offer for sale, or sell any property, you (“you” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Conditions. Please read these Conditions carefully, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions. 

1. BASIC CONDITIONS

The Services include an online marketplace and tools to buy, bid on, inquire about, list, market, offer for sale, and sell artwork and other property. All property is offered for sale and sold directly from the seller to the buyer, and we are not a party to any sale, except as stated in section 6 below. We may facilitate communication or payment between buyers, prospective buyers, bidders, and sellers in connection with some property. However, we are not the agent of any buyer, prospective buyer, or bidder for any purpose, and we are not the agent of any seller for any purpose. If you are using the Services on behalf of a company, organization or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Conditions, in which case the terms “you” and “your” in these Conditions will refer to that entity. In these Conditions, “on the Services” means on the Artcific website and/or (as applicable) on any Artcific application that you may use. By using the Services in any manner, you also accept our Terms of Use which governs your access to and use of the Services and our Privacy Policy, which describes our practices for the collection and use of your information. 

2. ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TERMS

Sellers that use the Services are separate businesses from Artcific and may have their own additional terms and conditions that apply to the property they offer for sale. Such terms and conditions may be posted in such property's listing on the Services or otherwise made available on the Services in connection with such property, and you are responsible for reviewing all relevant information available on the Services before buying or bidding on any property. If these Conditions conflict with any seller's terms and conditions posted on the Services, the seller's applicable terms and conditions will apply to the extent of the conflict. However, in no event will any seller's terms and conditions constitute any representation, warranty, or assumption of liability of any kind by us.

3. INQUIRIES

The Services may include features that enable you to contact us or the seller regarding property listed on the Services (“Inquiry”). We and the seller will have no obligation to accept or respond to any Inquiry and no liability for any delay or failure to do so. 

4. ONLINE PURCHASES

You may be able to place orders to purchase some property on the Services using the online purchase feature (“Online Purchase”). Where available, the Online Purchase feature will be indicated on the Services with a “Purchase” or "Buy Now" button. Online Purchase orders are binding on the buyer. When you place an order using the Online Purchase feature, you are required to complete the transaction subject to these Conditions. For some property, the Online Purchase feature may be available in addition to competitive auction bidding, in which case the Online Purchase feature will be available until the current bid for such property meets or exceeds the starting bid, or, if such property has a Reserve (see section 8 below), until the current bid for such property meets or exceeds the Reserve. If such property is ordered using the Online Purchase feature, it will be withdrawn from the auction pending completion of the Online Purchase sale. 

5. CONSIGN/SELL

If you are interested in consigning your property, the Services may include features that provide you with the opportunity to connect with potential sellers who may allow you to consign your property with them. We and/or any potential seller will have no obligation to accept or respond to any such request for an offer of consignment and will have no liability for any delay or failure to do so. Any information provided by us or any potential seller are general guidelines only and may not be relied on by you. For further information, please visit us at Consignments.

6. ARTCIFIC SALES

On rare occasions, Artcific itself may sell property through the Services. If we are the seller of an item, we will expressly identify Artcific as the seller on the Services and when performing a transaction with the buyer, and with respect to that item, we will be considered the seller under these Conditions. In all other cases, whether an auction, Online Purchase or otherwise, we are not the seller and will have none of the seller’s obligations or liability, whether under these Conditions or otherwise.

7. WITHDRAWAL

We and the seller each reserve the right to withdraw any property from the Services at any time, and will have no liability whatsoever for any such withdrawal. With respect to property available for bidding or listed with the Online Purchase feature, this withdrawal right applies before, during and after any auction or Online Purchase sale. 

8. BUY NOW AND MAKE OFFER

Features. You may be able to place orders to purchase some property on the Services using the online purchase feature (“Buy Now”) or make an offer feature (“Make Offer”). Where available, the Buy Now feature will be indicated on the Services with a "Buy Now" button. Buy Now orders are binding on the buyer. When you place an order using the Buy Now feature, you are required to complete the transaction subject to these Conditions. If such an item is ordered using the Buy Now feature, it will be withdrawn from the available inventory the seller has pending completion of the Buy Now sale. For some items, the Make Offer feature may also be available, indicated on the Services with a “Make Offer” button. In these cases, you may be able to place an offer for such items using the feature, and the seller may choose to accept your offer or respond with a counter-offer. The property will not be removed from a seller’s inventory until such time as a seller accepts either Buy Now or Make Offer. 

Registration and Requirements. In order to participate in Buy Now/Make Offer, you will need to create an Artcific account and register, provide any required contact and payment information, and complete any required forms. We may require you to provide documentation of your identity, bank or other financial references, and other qualifying information. We may also require that you deposit a portion of any purchase price or offer that you place, in which case, if the sale is not finalized, your deposit will be refunded to you. In any case, we may refuse registration or access to any person at any time at our sole discretion, including, without limitation, if we believe such action is necessary to comply with the law or to maintain the integrity or reputation of the Services. You represent and warrant that all information you provide is true and accurate, and that you will not permit any other person or entity to use your Artcific account or login credentials.

Buyer’s Responsibility. Each buyer that places an order using “Buy Now” or makes an offer using “Make Offer” is required to complete the transaction if they hit the “Buy Now” button, or if their offer which they made using the “Make Offer” function is accepted. When you purchase property or make an offer on any item, you are accepting personal liability for the Total Purchase Price (defined below). You also represent and warrant that any purchases made or offers placed by you or on your behalf are not the result of any collusive or other anti-competitive agreement and are otherwise consistent with federal and state antitrust law.

Our Discretion. We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to: (i) reject or revoke your registration or permission to “Buy Now” or “Make Offer” at any time; and, (ii) reject, revoke or refuse to accept any such order or offer at any time (even orders or offers that may have been previously confirmed, whether on the Services, by email, text message or otherwise).

Inquiries. The seller will have no obligation to accept any Make Offer, and we and the seller will have no liability for any delay or failure to do so.

All Offers and Sales are Final. Please note that all offers and sales are final once submitted and may not be cancelled or modified by you. 

Total Purchase Price and Payment Deadline. Subject to these Conditions, upon the confirmation of any Online Purchase (whether through “Buy Now” or “Make Offer”) the sale contract between the buyer and the seller is concluded. The “Total Purchase Price” includes: (i) the purchase price of the item; (ii) any sales tax, use tax, and/or any other taxes or levies that the seller or we are required to collect from the buyer under applicable law; (iii) any and all shipping and packing costs; and (iv) any and all other applicable charges.

Payment Processing. We accept payment from the buyer on behalf of the seller in connection with sales made using the “Buy Now” and “Make Offer” functions. We use a third-party payment processor, Stripe, that accepts American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and Diners Club. We may place limits on any credit card purchase to process any transaction at our sole discretion. You authorize us to send instructions to the financial institution that issued your credit card to take payments from your credit card account in accordance with the terms of our agreement with you. If any credit card payment is not approved, the buyer will remain personally liable for all amounts otherwise due. The buyer agrees to notify us directly in writing of any claims or issues regarding any payment made for these sales. Currently, all payments in connection with these sales must be made in the currency specified by us unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. The buyer is responsible for any foreign exchange costs incurred to make all payments to us in U.S. dollars regardless of the buyer’s home currency, should such foreign exchange be necessary. The buyer consents to us retaining commissions out of amounts received from the buyer to the seller for these sales. 

Taxes. The buyer is required to pay any and all sales taxes, VAT, export and/or import taxes and duties, and any other transactional taxes or levies related to the purchase of property by the buyer. The buyer is required to pay any taxes the seller is, or we are, as applicable, required to collect, but the failure of the seller or us, as applicable, to collect any taxes from the buyer will not relieve the buyer’s obligation to pay them. Unless expressly otherwise indicated, all prices listed on the Services are exclusive of taxes, and applicable taxes will be collected from the buyer in addition to the listed price.

9. AFTER SALE

Total Purchase Price and Payment Deadline. Subject to these Conditions, upon the confirmation of any Online Purchase, and upon the conclusion of any auction sale, the sale contract between the buyer and the seller is concluded, and the buyer must pay the Total Purchase Price no later than 5:00 PM ET on the seventh (7th) day after the sale (“Payment Deadline”). The “Total Purchase Price” includes: (i) the purchase price of the item; (ii) any sales tax, use tax, VAT and/or any other taxes or levies that the seller or we are required to collect from the buyer under applicable law; and (iii) (for items sold in an auction) any applicable buyer’s premium.

Passage of Title and Risk of Loss. We do not transfer and are not responsible for transferring legal ownership of property from the seller to the buyer. The New York Uniform Commercial Code will apply to the transfer of ownership between the buyer and the seller, unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise. The seller represents that: (i) the seller is the sole owner of each item the seller offers for sale through the Services, or else the seller is duly authorized by the owner of such item to sell it; and (ii) subject to these Conditions, the seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to such item to the buyer free from any claims of third parties. Risk of loss to each item will pass to the buyer when legal title to such item passes to the buyer.

Payment Processing. We may accept payment from the buyer on behalf of the seller in connection with some sales, in which case we will notify the buyer that we are doing so by email and/or by providing the buyer with an option to check out on the Services. In all other cases, the buyer will pay the seller directly. Different sellers may accept different payment methods and/or have additional terms and conditions that apply to payments made to them, and the buyer will be subject to those terms and conditions as applicable. We may accept payments from buyers by credit card, check or wire transfer at our sole discretion, and have no obligation to accept payment by other means. We accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard or Discover only. We may place limits on any credit card purchase and/or use third-party payment processors to process any transaction at our sole discretion. If any credit card payment is not approved, the buyer will remain personally liable for all amounts otherwise due. The buyer agrees to notify us directly in writing of any claims or issues regarding any payment made to us by credit card or any other means. All payments to us must be made in U.S. dollars unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. The buyer is responsible for any currency costs incurred to make all payments to us in U.S. dollars regardless of the buyer’s home currency or payment method. If we or the seller incur any bank fees receiving any payment from the buyer by wire transfer, the buyer will be responsible for those costs and agrees that (as applicable) we or the seller may charge those costs to the buyer. The buyer consents to us paying commissions out of amounts received from the buyer to third parties referring us clients or otherwise assisting us in connection with the sale of property.

Taxes. Unless exempt by law, the buyer is required to pay all sales and use taxes (including VAT)f, export and/or import taxes and duties, and any other transactional taxes or levies (“Transactional Fees”) related to the purchase of property by the buyer. The buyer is required to pay the seller any taxes as the seller is required to collect, but the failure of the seller to collect any taxes from the buyer will not relieve the buyer’s obligation to pay them. Buyers claiming exemption from any tax are responsible for providing proper documentation. Any delay in obtaining or failure to obtain any relevant documentation or a refund of any tax will not justify the cancellation of any sale or any delay in paying the Total Purchase Price by the Payment Deadline. Unless expressly otherwise indicated, all prices listed on the Services are exclusive of Transactional Fees and any other fees not defined in this Agreement may be collected from the buyer in addition to any listed price.

Shipping and Handling. The buyer is required to pay all shipping, packing, and transit insurance fees and costs for purchased property. We may, but are not obligated to, provide support in the shipping process, such as facilitating communication or payment between buyers and shippers, or recommending third-party service providers. However, any such support or recommendations are for convenience only and do not constitute or imply any representation, warranty, or assumption of liability of any kind by us. We are not the agent of any buyer, seller or third party in connection with the shipping, packing or handling of any property. We do not control and are not liable or responsible for the acts, omissions or policies of the seller or any third party in connection with the shipping, packing or handling of any property, whether or not recommended by us. Unless we specifically agree otherwise in writing with respect to certain property, we have no responsibility for the delivery of any purchased property.

Resale. The buyer must not re-offer any purchased property for sale until the buyer has paid for the property in full and has otherwise assumed legal ownership and physical possession of the property subject to these Conditions.

Remedies for Non-Payment. If the buyer for any reason cancels any payment made by credit card or otherwise fails to pay the Total Purchase Price with respect to any property by the Payment Deadline, the buyer will be in default ("Buyer Default") and will be liable for payment of such Total Purchase Price and any other applicable charges. In the event of Buyer Default in connection with any property, without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us or the seller (whether at law, in equity, or under these Conditions), subject to the New York Uniform Commercial Code, the seller may cancel the sale of such property to the defaulting buyer and resell such property publicly or privately on terms the seller thinks fit, and the defaulting buyer will be liable for payment of any deficiency between the resale price obtained by the seller and the purchase price originally owed by the defaulting buyer. In any case, the defaulting buyer will be liable to us and the seller for any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and damages of whatever kind incurred in connection with such Buyer Default, the collection of any amounts due from the defaulting buyer, and/or (if applicable) the resale of the property at issue. In addition, if the buyer for any reason fails to pay the Total Purchase Price with respect to any property by the Payment Deadline, the buyer irrevocably authorizes us, at our option, to charge the buyer for any outstanding portion of such Total Purchase Price using any credit card information the buyer has provided on the Services, whether or not the buyer provided such credit card information in connection with the sale at issue.

10. EXPORT AND IMPORT LICENSES AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS

Prospective buyers are advised that: (i) some countries may prohibit or require a license or permit in order to export or import some property, including but not limited to property containing material from endangered or other protected plant or animal species; (ii) cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities; (iii) the laws of some countries may prohibit the resale of some property once it is imported into those countries; and (iv) some countries may reserve the right to purchase some property exported from those countries (sometimes called a “right of preemption”). None of Artcific and our officers, owners, directors, consultants, agents, and employees (collectively, the “Artcific Parties”) or the seller makes any representations or warranties as to whether any property is or is not subject to any such laws or restrictions. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to determine and obtain at its own cost any necessary export and/or import licenses and other required permits for purchased property. Unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise, a delay in obtaining or failure to obtain any required license or permit will not justify the cancellation of any sale or any delay in paying the Total Purchase Price with respect to any property. None of the Artcific Parties or the seller will be liable for any damage or loss resulting directly or indirectly from any confiscation of purchased property, transportation restriction, or other action taken by any government or public authority.

11. STAFF PARTICIPATION

Artcific staff may use the Services as bidders and/or buyers in their personal capacity (i.e. not as our employees, agents or representatives) as long as they do not have any confidential information about the item they are bidding on and/or buying (for example, the Reserve of an item offered for sale in an auction). Likewise, if the seller in an auction is an organization, its staff may bid in that auction in their personal capacity, as long as they do not have any confidential information about the item they are bidding on. In all such cases, the staff member is personally subject to these Conditions like any other bidder and/or buyer. 

12. AVAILABILITY AND PRICING

We cannot guarantee that any property appearing on the Services will be available to sell or listed with the correct price, including but not limited to items listed with the Online Purchase feature. We reserve the right to cancel any Online Purchase order at any time if we are notified by the seller or otherwise determine at our sole discretion that the item ordered is not available to sell for any reason or was listed with an incorrect price, even after the buyer receives an order confirmation (whether on the Services, by email or otherwise). If your Online Purchase order is cancelled under such circumstances, we will notify you by email of such cancellation and you will be refunded for any amounts that you have already paid for the applicable item and its delivery to you (if any), and the Artcific Parties and the seller will otherwise have no liability whatsoever for any such cancellations or listing errors. You acknowledge and agree that all property appearing on the Services is subject to availability. 

13. “AS IS”

EXCEPT FOR THE AUTHORSHIP WARRANTY PROVIDED BY THE SELLER IN SECTION 15 BELOW, ALL PROPERTY SOLD IN AN AUCTION OR VIA ONLINE PURCHASE IS SOLD “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, AND NONE OF THE ARTCIFIC PARTIES OR THE SELLER MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, OR ASSUMES ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND, WITH REGARD TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE OF ANY SUCH PROPERTY, AND NO STATEMENT ANYWHERE, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, WHETHER MADE ON THE SERVICES, IN A BILL OF SALE, AN ADVERTISEMENT, ANY OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS OR ELSEWHERE, WILL BE DEEMED SUCH A REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY. THE ARTCIFIC PARTIES AND THE SELLER MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO WHETHER THE BUYER WILL ACQUIRE ANY REPRODUCTION RIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN ANY PROPERTY SOLD, OR WHETHER ANY ARTWORK SOLD IS SUBJECT TO ANY ARTIST’S MORAL RIGHTS OR RESIDUAL RIGHTS. WITH RESPECT TO PROPERTY AVAILABLE FOR BIDDING, ANY ESTIMATE OF THE SELLING PRICE IS NOT TO BE RELIED ON AS A STATEMENT THAT THIS IS THE PRICE AT WHICH THE ITEM WILL SELL OR ITS VALUE FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. THE ARTCIFIC PARTIES AND, EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 15 BELOW, THE SELLER, WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS ON THE SERVICES OR IN ANY SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS. EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 15 BELOW, ALL PROPERTY SOLD IN AN AUCTION OR VIA ONLINE ONLINE PURCHASE IS FINAL SALE AND IS NOT RETURNABLE.

14. AUTHORSHIP WARRANTY

Authorship Warranty. The seller warrants to the buyer for a period of five (5) years from the sale date that if the property sold by the seller in an auction or via Online Purchase is described as of the sale date in the property listing on the Services in Bold or UPPER CASE type to be the work of a named authorship without qualification, then the property is authentic and is not a forgery (“Authorship Warranty”). This Authorship Warranty is subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) it does not apply to property whose description of authorship on the Services as of the sale date corresponded with the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts or indicated that there was a conflict of opinions; (ii) it does not apply to property whose authorship as described on the Services as of the sale date is proved inaccurate by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after the sale date or a process which as of the sale date was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property; (iii) the benefits of the Authorship Warranty are not transferable and apply only to the original buyer of record, and not to their successors or assigns or any other party; and (iv) “authorship” means only the creator of the property, or the period, culture, source or origin of the property, as the case may be, as described in the property listing on the Services in Bold or UPPER CASE type as of the sale date..

Cancellation and Refund. The seller agrees to cancel the sale and refund the purchase price of the property to the buyer subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) the buyer must notify the seller in writing within sixty (60) days after the buyer first receives any information leading to the belief that the Authorship Warranty has been breached, in any case within five (5) years after the original sale date, and must provide such information to the seller; (ii) the buyer must have remained the owner of the property without disposing of any interest in it to any third party; and (iii) the buyer must return the property to the seller in the same condition it was in as of the original sale date. The seller reserves the right, as a condition to cancelling any sale under the Authorship Warranty, to require that the buyer obtain, at the buyer’s expense, the written opinions of two (2) independent and recognized experts in the field mutually acceptable to the buyer and the seller. The seller will not be bound by any expert opinions produced by the buyer and reserves the right to obtain additional expert opinions at the seller’s own expense. The activities described in this paragraph will be conducted solely by the buyer and the seller. We will have no responsibility to the buyer or the seller in these regards.

Exclusive Remedy. The buyer acknowledges and agrees that cancellation of the sale and refund of the purchase price subject to the above terms and conditions will be the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the Authorship Warranty, in place of any other remedy or recourse that might otherwise be available at law or in equity. None of the Artcific Parties or the seller will be liable to the buyer for any special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with any breach of the Authorship Warranty, including, without limitation, loss of profits or interest.

No Warranty by Artcific. Except with respect to property sold by Artcific itself, we make no representations or warranties of any kind (express or implied) with regard to any property and will not be responsible for the Authorship Warranty provided by the seller.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

As we are not the agent of any buyer, prospective buyer, bidder or seller for any purpose, the Artcific Parties have no duty to resolve, and will not act as the agent of any buyer, prospective buyer, bidder or seller in connection with resolving any disputes. However, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to investigate complaints or claims of buyers, prospective buyers, bidders or sellers, and you agree to cooperate with us in any such investigations that we may choose to conduct, as permitted by applicable law.

16. GENERAL RELEASE

THE ARTCIFIC PARTIES DO NOT ENDORSE OR CONTROL AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE (WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE) OF ANY BUYERS, PROSPECTIVE BUYERS, BIDDERS OR SELLERS IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICES OR ANY PROPERTY LISTED, MARKETED, OFFERED OR SOLD THROUGH THE SERVICES.

17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE PROVIDE THE SERVICES “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, ANY WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT ANY BUYERS, PROSPECTIVE BUYERS, BIDDERS OR SELLERS WILL COMPLETE ANY TRANSACTIONS OR OTHERWISE PERFORM AS PROMISED, ALL OF WHICH THE ARTCIFIC PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE ARTCIFIC PARTIES BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION OF ANY BIDS (WHETHER ONLINE, OFFLINE, ON THE SERVICES, IN AN EMAIL, OR OTHERWISE), OR FOR ANY INABILITY OR FAILURE TO ACCESS THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY FAILURES RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM ANY LOSS OF INTERNET OR TELEPHONE CONNECTION OR FROM ANY BREAKDOWNS OR MALFUNCTIONS OF THE SERVICES OR ANY COMPUTER, DEVICE OR SYSTEM DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AFFECTING THE AVAILABILITY OR OPERATION OF THE SERVICES.

In no event will any of the Artcific Parties have any liability whatsoever with respect to the listing, marketing, offer or sale of any property through the Services, except that our liability to the seller may vary as otherwise stated in a separate written agreement between us and the seller, and with respect to property sold by Artcific itself, our liability to the buyer will be limited to the remedy expressly provided in section 15 of these Conditions under the Authorship Warranty. The exclusions and limitations of liability provided in this section apply to all claims, whether based on warranty, contract, statute, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, whether or not any of the Artcific Parties have been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damage or loss, and even if a remedy set forth in these Conditions is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the exclusions and limitations provided in this section may not apply to you, in which case the liability of the Artcific Parties will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

No delay or failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Conditions will be deemed a waiver of that or any other right or provision. We will not be deemed to have waived any right or remedy under these Conditions unless the waiver is in writing and signed by an Artcific representative who intends and is duly authorized to agree to such waiver on our behalf.
