Please read these Terms of Use (the “Agreement”) carefully. Your use of the Site (as defined below) constitutes your agreement to this Agreement.

This Agreement is between you and Nikki Martinkovic LLC (“NM,” “we,” “us”) concerning your use of the website currently located at nikkimartinkovicstudio.com (together with shop.nikkimartinkovic.com, any successor site(s) and all services available through those sites, the “Site”).

1. Acceptance of Terms. We make this Site available subject to this Agreement. We reserve the right to update or make changes to this Agreement from time to time in our sole discretion, which changes we may provide to you by any reasonable means, including without limitation, by posting the revised version of this Agreement on the Site. You can determine when this Agreement was last revised by referring to the “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this Agreement. You are subject to any additional posted guidelines, rules, terms and conditions applicable to particular services that may be available at the Site, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, to: modify or discontinue the Site, with or without notice; charge fees in connection with the use of the Site; modify and/or waive any fees charged in connection with the Site; and/or offer opportunities to some or all users of the Site. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Site, in whole or in part, content, feature or product offered through the Site. Your continued use of the Site after such changes will indicate your acceptance of such changes.

2. Jurisdictional Issues. The Site is controlled and operated by NM from the United States, and isn’t intended to subject NM to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States. NM doesn’t represent or warrant that the Site or any part thereof is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction other than the United States. In choosing to access the Site, you do so on your own initiative and at your own risk, and you are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. You are also subject to United States export controls and are responsible for any violations of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. We may limit the Site’s availability, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion.

3. Descriptions of Our Prints. Although we take care to make sure the Site accurately describes and depicts our prints, there may be differences between the image of a print on the Site and the actual print due to variations inherent in image quality, limits of resolution or color reproduction on your device or other reasons. Accordingly, if you have any questions about a print, please contact us at info@nikkimartinkovicstudio.com before you order.

4. Prices and Sales Tax. Our prices are shown in US dollars, exclusive of taxes and shipping costs. We may modify our prices at any time without prior notice. You’ll be charged the price displayed when you place your order, provided that we may reject or cancel your order for any reason, including, without limitation, if the item ordered isn’t available, is incorrectly priced or is incorrectly described. We will collect applicable state and local sales taxes on any order to which they apply.

5. Orders. When you’ve finished shopping, a page will be displayed featuring images of the items in your cart, unit price and the total amount owed for your order. Please check this information carefully to make sure it’s accurate before you confirm the order. You can check and correct any input errors in your order until you submit it to us by clicking the “Place Order” button on the checkout page. After you click on the “Place Order” button, your order will be submitted for processing and you may not change or cancel the order. After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and providing you with an order number.

6. Payment. We may either collect payment through the Site or by e-mailing you an invoice. If we collect payment through the Site, payment is due then, and otherwise payment is due upon your receipt of an invoice from NM. If we e-mail you an invoice, you must pay within 30 days of receiving such invoice. When you place your order, we may ask you for information relevant to your payment and shipping, including without limitation your name, company, address, phone number, e-mail address, credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PAYMENT OR OTHER TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant us the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of completing payment initiated by you or on your behalf. We may require verification of such information before we accept your order. We aren’t responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason. If you pay for your order through the Site, your credit card will be charged when you place your order. We may allow you to store your credit card information with us to facilitate future purchases, subject to our Privacy Policy. Each order is expressly conditioned on acceptance of this Agreement. If you engage in fraud, for example, by using fake or stolen credit cards, we may also report you to the appropriate authorities. ALL SALES ARE FINAL, AND NO RETURNS, REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES WILL BE PERMITTED.
