Keeping It Fresh
We’re always updating our site with new art and features. That means these terms might change from time to time. We’ll let you know if big changes happen. If you keep using our site after updates, we’ll take that as a thumbs-up!
Age Matters
You need to be old enough to make legal decisions in your province or territory. If you’re under that age, please get permission from a parent or guardian before using our site.
Play Nice
We love our art community, and we want everyone to enjoy it. So, please:
Your Account
If you buy something, please make sure all your info is up-to-date and accurate. This helps us process your orders smoothly and get in touch if we need to.
Our Right to Serve
We hope it never happens, but we might need to refuse service to someone for various reasons. We’ll try to be fair and reasonable.
