Terms of service.

Welcome to Sabet (the “Platform”), operated by Sabet Studio (“we”, “us”). These terms govern your use of the Platform at sabet.com and any connected services. By creating an account or using the Platform you agree to these terms — read them.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, place a bid, or buy a piece. By using the Platform you represent that you meet that bar and that any payment information you provide belongs to you and is authorized for use.

2. Accounts

You're responsible for the activity on your account, including any bids placed and purchases made. Keep your sign-in credentials private. If you suspect unauthorized use, let us know immediately. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, attempt to defraud the Platform or other users, or harm the community.

3. Drops, bids, and purchases

Fixed-price drops.Clicking “Collect now” opens Stripe Checkout and creates a binding order on payment. Pieces are reserved on a first-come, first-paid basis; an abandoned checkout does not reserve inventory.

Auctions.Bids are commit-to-buy. By placing a bid you authorize us to charge your card on file for the bid amount if you are the high bidder when the auction timer ends. Bids cannot be retracted. If a bid lands inside the anti-snipe window the timer extends. If a reserve price is set and the high bid doesn't meet it, no winner is declared and no charge is made.

Editions. Each sale mints a numbered copy of the template piece. Edition numbers are assigned in the order payment is captured, not the order checkout begins.

Pricing & taxes. Prices are in USD unless stated. Sales tax may apply based on your shipping address. Shipping is calculated at checkout where applicable.

4. Payments and refunds

We use Stripe to process payments. Payment details are stored with Stripe; we never see full card numbers. By saving a card on file you authorize us to charge that card for winning auction bids without further confirmation, off-session.

All sales are final.Every drop, auction, direct-purchase piece and edition is final once payment is captured; there are no returns or exchanges for a change of mind. Damage in transit, loss in transit, a wrong piece sent, and authentication disputes are the studio's responsibility and are made right as described in our Sales & Shipping policy.

Failed charges. If your card on file cannot be charged at auction close, you have 72 hours to complete payment manually before the piece may be offered to the next-highest bidder. Repeated payment failures may result in account suspension.

5. Shipping and risk of loss

Physical pieces ship with tracking — originals direct from Sabet Studio within 5 business days of payment, prints and canvases from the studio's print partner in 2–3 weeks. We ship worldwide at a flat $50 (US) / $85 (international); club memberships are the one purchase with shipping included. Every package is guaranteed by the studio: a piece that arrives damaged (report within 7 days) or is lost in transit (no carrier movement for 10 days) is replaced, and original artwork ships signature-required. Full shipping terms — customs, address accuracy, and carrier handling — are in our Sales & Shipping policy.

6. Verification and certificates

Verification submissions are reviewed by Sabet personally. We may approve, reject, or request more information at our sole discretion. Approved submissions are issued a signed certificate of authenticity. A certificate confirms authentication at the time of issue; it doesn't guarantee condition, valuation, or future market value.

We may void a certificate if we later discover the piece is misattributed, stolen, lost to fraud, or that the proof of provenance was misrepresented. Voided certificates remain publicly visible with a void status so the historical record stays honest.

7. Ownership transfers

The Platform supports recording ownership transfers between collectors when both parties approve. Sabet does not act as a broker, escrow agent, or guarantor for any collector-to-collector exchange. We do not facilitate or process payments between collectors. Money — if any — moves outside the Platform; any losses, fraud, or disputes arising from those private arrangements are between the parties.

We reserve the right to lock a piece (mark as stolen, retired, or under dispute) and force-resolve transfers in cases of fraud, theft, or unresolved disputes. Admin force-resolutions are logged and visible on the piece's provenance page.

8. Your content (posts, threads, messages, photos)

You retain ownership of content you post. By posting you grant Sabet a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content within the Platform for as long as you keep it posted. You may delete your posts at any time.

Don't post anything you don't have rights to. Don't post hate speech, harassment, doxing, illegal content, sexually explicit material, or attempts to fake authentication. We may hide, remove, or refuse content at our sole discretion. Repeat violations may result in account termination.

By posting you confirm that the content is yours or that you have the right to share it, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your copyright, email support@sabet.com with the link, a description of your work, and your contact details, and we will respond promptly.

9. Intellectual property

All artwork on the Platform — paintings, editions, sketches, mini originals, apparel designs, and any digital reproductions — is © Sabet unless otherwise stated. Buying a piece transfers ownership of that physical (or digital) object only; copyright, reproduction rights, and commercial-use rights are not transferred. Don't use Sabet's work in commercial products, NFTs, AI training datasets, or merchandise without written permission.

The Sabet name, logo, and certificate format are trademarks of Sabet Studio.

10. Privacy

Your collection visibility is controlled by you — toggle private at any time. We store the minimum personal data necessary to run the Platform: handle, email, profile fields, shipping addresses for orders, and payment metadata for receipts. We do not sell your data. Full details — what we collect, who we share it with, and your rights — are in our Privacy Policy.

11. Termination

You may close your account at any time from Settings → Delete account, or by emailing support@sabet.com. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. On termination, your public posts and gallery are removed; certificates remain in the public registry under their cert numbers for provenance integrity.

12. Disclaimers

The Platform is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind beyond those stated in these terms and the Sales & Shipping policy. We don't guarantee continuous uptime, error-free operation, or specific market outcomes for your collection.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sabet Studio's total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Platform is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when products evolve. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notification or email. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.

15. Disputes, arbitration, and governing law

Talk to us first. If you have a dispute with Sabet Studio, email support@sabet.com with a description of the problem and what you would like us to do. We will try to resolve it informally within 60 days. Neither of us may start arbitration or a lawsuit before that period ends.

Agreement to arbitrate. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and Sabet Studio agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms, the Platform, or any purchase, bid, giveaway, or club membership will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitrator may award the same remedies a court could award to you individually.

Small claims and injunctions. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration if it qualifies. Either of us may also seek a court order to stop unauthorized use of the Platform or infringement of intellectual property.

Class action waiver. You and Sabet Studio agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will be decided in court, not arbitration, and the rest of this section still applies.

Costs. Sabet Studio will pay the arbitration filing and arbitrator fees for claims under $10,000 unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous. Each side pays its own lawyers unless the law or the arbitrator says otherwise.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@sabet.com within 30 days of first accepting these terms, with your account email and a statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these terms.

Governing law and venue. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. For any matter not subject to arbitration, you and Sabet Studio agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Los Angeles County, California.

Changes to this section. If we change this arbitration agreement, the change will not apply to disputes that began before the change took effect.
