GlintBrush Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 19, 2026 Effective: August 20, 2026

This document replaces the Privacy Policy dated June 14, 2026, which applied to the GlintBrush demonstration site. It applies to glintbrush.com, demo.glintbrush.com, and any other GlintBrush, Inc. website, application, or service.

This document is the agreement between you and GlintBrush, Inc. ("GlintBrush," "we," "us"), a Delaware corporation. It covers both the terms of using GlintBrush and how we handle your information.

Please read Sections 4 and 5 carefully. They describe how money is split and what each party does and does not receive.

By creating an account or using GlintBrush, you agree to this document. If you do not agree, do not create an account.

1. What GlintBrush Does

GlintBrush connects local artists with local venues (cafes, restaurants, and similar businesses) that have wall space, and operates as an online marketplace. Artists list work on GlintBrush. Venues host that work on their walls. Visitors to the venue can scan a QR code beside a piece and purchase it directly.

GlintBrush is a platform and a coordinator. We are not a gallery, not an art dealer, and not a party to the sale of any artwork in the sense of taking ownership. Title to a piece passes directly from the Artist to the Buyer.

2. Who Can Use GlintBrush

You must be at least 13 years old to create any GlintBrush account.

If you are under 18 and creating an Artist account, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to this document with you before you list work for sale. We may require written or electronic confirmation from your parent or guardian before we display your work, process a sale, or issue a payout. If we cannot obtain that confirmation, we may hold or reverse a payout and remove your listings.

Venue accounts must be created by someone with authority to make decisions about the business's premises. By creating a Venue account, you confirm you have that authority.

You must give accurate information when you sign up and keep it current. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your password secure.

3. Accounts and Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Upload work you did not create or do not have the rights to sell
  • Upload content that is unlawful, infringing, hateful, or sexually explicit
  • Misrepresent a piece's medium, dimensions, condition, or whether it is an original or a reproduction
  • Attempt to route a sale off-platform to avoid the GlintBrush commission after a Buyer has discovered the piece through a GlintBrush display or QR code
  • Interfere with the platform's operation or access it by automated means without our permission

We may suspend or close any account, remove any listing, and cancel any display for violation of these terms, or where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect artists, venues, buyers, or GlintBrush.

4. Artist Terms

4.1 You keep ownership of your art

You retain full copyright and ownership of every piece you upload. Nothing in this document transfers your copyright to GlintBrush.

Physical ownership of an unsold piece stays with you at all times. It is not owned by GlintBrush and it is not owned by the Venue.

4.2 License to display and promote your work

By uploading a piece, you grant GlintBrush a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to reproduce, display, publish, adapt for formatting, and distribute images of that piece, along with your name or artist name, artist statement, biography, photo, and the details of the piece, for the purpose of:

  • Operating the platform, including artwork pages and QR-linked purchase pages
  • Marketing and promoting GlintBrush, the participating Venues, and you, across any medium — including our website, social media accounts, email, printed materials, press, advertising, and partner channels

This license is royalty-free: you will not receive separate payment for promotional use of images of your work. You will be credited by name or artist name wherever reasonably practical.

This license continues after a piece is sold and after you close your account, but only for material we have already published or produced. If you close your account or delete a listing, we will stop new promotional uses of that piece within a reasonable period, and we will remove it from our website and, where technically possible, from our own social media accounts on request. We cannot retract material already distributed by third parties, printed, or reposted by others.

You confirm you have the right to grant this license, and that the work does not infringe anyone else's rights.

4.3 How much you get paid

Artists receive 85% of the sale price of each piece sold through GlintBrush. GlintBrush retains 15%.

The sale price is the price you set for the piece.

GlintBrush's share covers platform operation, payment processing, coordination and placement with venues, installation and takedown, and promotion. Payment processing fees charged by our third-party processor are paid out of GlintBrush's share unless stated otherwise at checkout.

There are no shipping or delivery charges. Sales are completed in person: the Buyer collects the piece from the Venue at the time of purchase. The price the Buyer pays is the price you set, plus any applicable sales tax.

4.4 Payouts

Payouts are made through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. You will need to complete their onboarding, including identity and tax information, before we can pay you. We do not control their requirements.

Payouts are issued within seven (7) days after a sale is completed and the piece has been collected by the Buyer. You are responsible for your own taxes on income earned through GlintBrush. We do not withhold taxes.

4.5 Your physical artwork

You are responsible for delivering your work to the Venue and, unless sold, collecting it at the end of a display period, unless GlintBrush has agreed in writing to handle installation or takedown.

Risk of loss or damage. Artwork on display in a Venue is in a public commercial space. Neither GlintBrush nor the Venue insures your work. Except where caused by our own gross negligence or willful misconduct, GlintBrush is not liable for theft, loss, damage, fire, water, vandalism, or deterioration of artwork while it is in transit, on display, or in storage. We strongly recommend you do not display work you cannot afford to lose, and that you carry your own insurance if a piece is valuable to you.

Abandoned work. If a display period ends and you do not collect your work within seven (7) days after we notify you, we may store it at your cost or return it at your cost. If it remains uncollected thirty (30) days after that notice, and after a further written notice to you, we may donate or dispose of it.

4.6 Pricing and removal

You set your own prices. You may remove a piece from sale at any time, but if a Buyer has already completed a purchase, that sale stands.

5. Venue Terms

5.1 Venues receive no compensation

Venues receive no share of artwork sales. Venues receive no commission, no revenue share, no referral fee, and no other payment from GlintBrush or from Artists in connection with any sale made through the platform.

This is intentional and it is a core term of participating as a Venue. What a Venue receives instead is: original artwork on its walls at no purchase cost, coordination and curation by GlintBrush, and promotion of the Venue by GlintBrush and by the participating Artists in connection with displays and opening events.

Venues currently pay GlintBrush nothing. There is no fee, subscription, or charge to host a display. We may introduce a fee for Venues in the future. If we do, we will give existing Venues written notice before it takes effect, it will not apply to a display already installed, and no Venue will be charged without separately agreeing to the fee.

5.2 What the Venue agrees to

By hosting a display, a Venue agrees to:

  • Provide the agreed wall space for the agreed display period
  • Take reasonable care of the artwork, comparable to the care it takes of its own property
  • Keep the QR codes and any accompanying labels visible, intact, and beside the correct pieces
  • Not move, alter, reframe, cover, mark, or lend out any piece without the Artist's or GlintBrush's permission
  • Not sell, or attempt to sell, any piece directly, and to direct interested customers to the QR code
  • Release a purchased piece to a Buyer who presents a valid GlintBrush purchase confirmation, and not release any piece to anyone who cannot produce one
  • Allow reasonable access for installation, takedown, and rotation at mutually agreed times
  • Notify GlintBrush promptly of any damage, loss, or theft

5.3 The Venue does not own the artwork

Artwork placed in a Venue remains the property of the Artist. It is on display only. The Venue acquires no ownership interest, no security interest, and no lien over any piece, and may not treat artwork as collateral or as part of the business's assets in any sale, transfer, closure, or insolvency of the business.

5.4 Liability for damage

A Venue is responsible for damage to or loss of artwork caused by its own negligence or by the intentional acts of its staff. Ordinary wear consistent with public display, and events outside the Venue's reasonable control, are not the Venue's responsibility.

5.5 Ending a display

Once a Venue has released a piece to a Buyer who presented a valid purchase confirmation, the Venue has no further responsibility for that piece.

Either the Venue or GlintBrush may end a display arrangement with fourteen (14) days notice. The Venue will allow reasonable access to collect the work. A Venue may not dispose of, discard, or retain artwork after a display ends.

6. Buyer Terms

When you purchase through a QR code, you are buying directly from the Artist. GlintBrush facilitates the transaction and collects payment on the Artist's behalf.

All sales are final. Original artwork is unique and is sold as-is. You are buying a piece you can see in person, in front of you, before you pay. We do not accept returns, exchanges, or cancellations once a purchase is completed. This does not affect any rights you have under the law that cannot be waived, and it does not apply if a piece is materially different from how it was described.

Collecting your piece. When you complete a purchase, you take the piece off the wall and it is yours immediately. Show your GlintBrush purchase confirmation to Venue staff before removing anything. Venue staff are instructed not to release a piece to anyone who cannot produce a confirmation. Once you take a piece, responsibility for it is yours.

Purchasing a piece gives you ownership of the physical object only. It does not transfer copyright, and it does not give you the right to reproduce, print, or commercially use the image.

7. Fees, Payments, and Processing

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full payment card details. Your use of the payment processor is also governed by their terms and privacy policy.

We may change our fees and commission structure. If we do, we will give you notice, and changes will not apply to sales already completed or to displays already installed.

PRIVACY POLICY

The remainder of this document explains what personal information we collect, why, and what rights you have.

8. Information We Collect

Information you give us directly:

  • All accounts: name or display name, email address, password (stored hashed), age, general location, and role
  • Artists: images of artwork, titles, descriptions, prices, dimensions and medium, artist statement or biography, profile photo, links to your website or social accounts, travel radius, and payout and tax information collected by our payment processor
  • Venues: business name, business address, contact name and details, wall space details and photographs of your space
  • Buyers: name, email, delivery address where applicable, and payment details handled by our processor

Information we collect automatically: device and browser type, IP address, pages viewed, QR code scans including which code and roughly when and where, and referral source. We use cookies and similar technologies for login sessions, security, basic analytics, and advertising measurement.

Information from others: our payment processor, analytics and advertising providers, and anyone who refers or introduces you to us.

9. Why We Use It

We use your information to operate accounts, display artwork, match artists with venues, generate and route QR codes, process payments and payouts, communicate with you about your displays and sales, promote GlintBrush and participating artists and venues, understand how the platform is used, prevent fraud and abuse, and meet legal obligations.

Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on performance of our contract with you, your consent (for marketing and for the promotional use of artwork described in Section 4.2), and our legitimate interests in running and improving GlintBrush.

10. What We Share

We do not sell your personal information.

We share it with service providers who process information on our behalf, including Stripe (payments and payouts), Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), and Cloudflare (security, content delivery, and performance), along with our email, analytics, and error-monitoring providers. Each processes data under its own privacy policy and our contractual terms.

We also share it with: advertising platforms for measurement and audience purposes; Venues and Artists with each other where necessary to coordinate a display (a Venue will see the Artist's name and work; an Artist will see the Venue's name and address); and Buyers and Artists with each other to the extent needed to complete a sale.

We may also share information where required by law, to enforce this agreement, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business.

Public information. Your artist name, artist statement, profile photo, artwork images, and prices are public. Venue business names, addresses, and photos of the space are public. Do not upload anything to these fields you do not want publicly visible.

11. Retention

We keep account information while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward. We keep transaction and tax records for as long as the law requires. Published promotional material may persist as described in Section 4.2.

12. Your Rights

Depending on where you live — including under the Colorado Privacy Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and the GDPR — you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to opt out of targeted advertising or the sale or sharing of personal information, to withdraw consent, and to appeal a decision we make about such a request.

To make a request, email hello@glintbrush.com. We will respond within the time the law requires. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in the email. We will still send you messages about your account, displays, and sales.

13. Minors' Information

We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If we learn we have, we will delete it.

For users aged 13 to 17, we do not use their personal information for targeted advertising or profiling, and we do not sell it. Artists under 18 are subject to the guardian consent requirement in Section 2.

14. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and hashed passwords. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

15. Where Your Information Is Held

GlintBrush operates in the United States. If you use it from elsewhere, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

16. Disclaimers and Limits

GlintBrush is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that any Artist will be matched with a Venue, that any piece will sell, that any Venue will attract customers, or that the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the fullest extent the law allows, GlintBrush's total liability to you for any claim arising out of this agreement is limited to the greater of the total amounts we paid to or retained from you in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred dollars ($100). We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or lost sales opportunities.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

17. Indemnity

You will indemnify GlintBrush against claims arising from your breach of this agreement, your content, or, for Artists, any claim that your work infringes someone else's rights.

18. Changes

We may update this document. If we make a material change, we will notify you by email or in the product before it takes effect. Continuing to use GlintBrush after that means you accept the change.

19. Governing Law and Disputes

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to conflict of laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado.
