Intent of Use
PURPOSE
First things first, we want to promote you, not own your work. You own all rights to your work. We are simply looking for you to grant us the rights to feature your art and promote you as an artist. We also will make a cash payment of US$250 via PayPal (4% charge to receiver) to artists whose works we select as part of the Collective Series. Think of this as a cool collaboration with other artists and a great way to create buzz (no pun intended).
SCOPE
To be more specific, here is how we intend to use your work…
We will print your artwork on labels, (bottles and cans), packaging, coasters, merchandise, apparel, streaming audio and video and other promotional materials for no more than 18 months commencing when your work is first used (the “Term”). After the Term is up, your work may remain displayed on our social media platforms or website (“Archival Uses”) but we will not print your artwork on any of our products or on its own in any format.
To promote and commemorate each series we also want to be able to feature you and your work on our social media platforms and in promotional materials as part of the Collective Series.
I hope you can tell that we are sincere in our intent to grow together and our passionate about Art and Brewing.
