Pricing
Prices for products on Digital Art Collections are described on our Site and incorporated into these Terms by reference. All prices are in US Dollars. Prices and products may change at Digital Art Collections’s discretion.
Payment of Earnings
By using our Services, you may generate earnings as described on our Website (“Earnings”). In order to receive your Earnings beyond $500 you must provide your taxpayer information to us as required by the IRS. If we do not have your current taxpayer information on file for a particular year, payments due to you under this Agreement will not be made until December 31st of that year, and all of such payments will be subject to a 30% backup withholding which will be submitted to the IRS.
You may also choose your method of payment (for example, check or PayPal). Digital Art Collections, in its discretion, may change the methods of payment that are available, and certain methods of payment may not be available for all balances.
Payments that are made using PayPal will be charged a $2.50 processing fee, if your Earnings are less than the Payment Threshold.
Payment Thresholds mean $100 for payments by check and $50 for payments using PayPal. The Payment Thresholds are subject to change at any time or from time- to-time, in our sole and absolute discretion. You will be notified of any change in the Payment Thresholds.
You may request payment of your Earnings even if you have not met the Payment Thresholds, subject to payment of the following processing fees: $5.00 for any check under $100; or $2.50 for any PayPal transaction under $50. Payment will be made within 45 days (collectively “Processing Fees”).
If Digital Art Collections owes you any compensation as of December 31 each year, then Digital Art Collections may send you payment of such accrued Earnings even if you have not reached the Payment Thresholds or have chosen to have your payment held. Such annual payments will be subject to the Processing Fees set forth above. If your Earnings are less than the applicable Processing Fee, you will not receive a payment.
In the event that a check sent to the address listed as the payee address in your account is returned as undeliverable, Digital Art Collections may withhold further payments until you have corrected or updated your address.
In the event that an order for which you were paid Earnings is either cancelled, returned or refunded for any reason, Digital Art Collections will deduct the relevant amount from your Earnings.
Taxes
You are responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with your performance of any activities related to the Profit Program, including, but not limited to, compensation, bonuses, and benefits, if any, for your personnel, and any and all taxes, fees, duties, tariffs or charges that may be imposed on you in connection with your participation in the Profit Program. As such, you acknowledge that any Earnings belong to you and not to Digital Art Collections. The Earnings represent the only compensation payable by Digital Art Collections to you in connection with your participation in the Profit Program and no other compensation of any kind is payable to you for participating in the Profit Program. In certain jurisdictions, Digital Art Collections may be required to withhold, collect and/or remit certain sales or other taxes in connection with the purchase of Products or your participation in the Profit Program and any such taxes will reduce the Earnings you receive.
You are responsible for any taxes that you are obligated to pay or that Digital Art Collections may collect from you in connection with your purchase of Products. If you do not pay the sales or other taxes or fees on a transaction, you will be responsible for the taxes or fees in the event they are later determined to be payable on the sale, and Digital Art Collections reserves the right to collect the taxes or other related fees from you at any time. In certain jurisdictions, Digital Art Collections may be required to collect and remit sales tax in connection with your purchase of Products.
