Last Updated: September 2026

Welcome to Easel & Ink Studios. These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of the Easel & Ink Studios website, community features, marketplace resources, content, and related services.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website.

About Easel & Ink Studios

Easel & Ink Studios is an artist-centered community and creative platform designed to help artists, makers, independent businesses, affiliate marketers, collectors, and art enthusiasts connect with one another.

Our website and associated communities may feature original artwork, handmade art supplies, hand-poured paints, curated palettes, studio supplies, tutorials, reviews, recommendations, affiliate links, independent sellers, educational content, community contributions, and other creative resources.

Some products, services, listings, links, and recommendations may be provided directly by Easel & Ink Studios, while others may be provided by independent artists, sellers, businesses, contributors, affiliate partners, retailers, or other third parties.

Eligibility and Responsible Use

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Easel & Ink Studios complies with the laws and regulations applicable to you.

If you are not legally permitted to enter into agreements in your jurisdiction, purchases, sales, account creation, or other activities requiring a binding agreement should be completed by or with the involvement of an appropriate parent or legal guardian.

Community Standards

Easel & Ink Studios was created to encourage creativity, collaboration, education, discovery, and artists supporting artists.

When participating in our website or associated communities, users are expected to interact respectfully and in good faith.

You may not use Easel & Ink Studios to:

• Harass, threaten, abuse, intimidate, or deliberately target another person.
• Engage in fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading conduct.
• Impersonate another person, artist, business, or organization.
• Knowingly provide materially false information about products, artwork, services, or affiliations.
• Distribute spam, malicious software, or harmful code.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, website systems, or information.
• Violate another person’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights.
• Use the website for unlawful activities.

We reserve the right to moderate content, restrict participation, suspend accounts, remove listings, or otherwise protect the community and website when we reasonably believe these Terms, applicable community guidelines, or applicable law have been violated.

Artist and Seller Responsibilities

Artists, makers, sellers, and businesses are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide about their products, artwork, services, prices, materials, availability, shipping practices, processing times, and other relevant terms.

Unless Easel & Ink Studios specifically identifies itself as the seller of a particular product or service, the independent seller remains responsible for their own transaction and business practices.

Independent sellers are responsible for complying with applicable laws and regulations concerning their products and businesses, including any requirements involving labeling, product safety, taxes, intellectual property, consumer protection, shipping, refunds, or other commercial obligations.

Participation in Easel & Ink Studios does not create an employment, agency, partnership, franchise, or joint venture relationship between Easel & Ink Studios and an independent artist, seller, contributor, affiliate marketer, or business unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

Marketplace Transactions

Easel & Ink Studios may provide opportunities for artists, makers, sellers, buyers, and creative businesses to discover and connect with one another.

Some transactions may take place through third-party websites, independent shops, social media platforms, payment processors, affiliate retailers, or other services that Easel & Ink Studios does not own or control.

When a transaction occurs directly between a buyer and an independent seller, the buyer and seller are responsible for resolving matters involving payment, shipping, delivery, returns, refunds, exchanges, product condition, and other transaction-related issues.

Any purchase made directly from Easel & Ink Studios will instead be subject to the policies presented for that purchase.

Studio Destash and Pre-Owned Supplies

Easel & Ink Studios may permit artists to offer unused, surplus, discontinued, partially used, or other studio supplies when allowed by the applicable marketplace rules.

Sellers are responsible for accurately describing the condition, quantity, age, packaging, known defects, contamination concerns, or other material characteristics of destashed supplies.

Buyers should review descriptions carefully and ask questions when necessary before purchasing supplies from an independent seller.

Affiliate Links and Recommendations

Easel & Ink Studios supports artists using multiple legitimate methods to help sustain their creative work, including affiliate marketing.

Some links appearing on our website or within our communities may be affiliate links. Easel & Ink Studios, an administrator, contributor, or participating artist may receive a commission or other compensation when a visitor follows an affiliate link and completes a qualifying purchase or action.

Affiliate relationships should be disclosed clearly and appropriately.

A recommendation, review, or affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a particular product will be appropriate for every artist. Art materials, techniques, preferences, and results vary considerably between individuals.

User-Submitted Content

Users may have opportunities to submit or publish artwork, photographs, comments, reviews, listings, tutorials, recommendations, business information, or other content through Easel & Ink Studios.

You retain ownership of the original content and intellectual property that belongs to you.

By intentionally submitting content for publication through Easel & Ink Studios, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, format, and distribute that content as reasonably necessary to operate, display, promote, and maintain the website, community, or feature for which the content was submitted.

This permission does not transfer ownership of your artwork or other original intellectual property to Easel & Ink Studios.

You represent that you own the content you submit or otherwise have the necessary permission to submit and authorize its use.

Please do not upload artwork, photographs, writing, designs, or other protected material belonging to another person unless you have permission or another lawful basis to do so.

Copyright and Intellectual Property

Artists deserve control over their work.

Unless otherwise stated, the Easel & Ink Studios name, branding, website design elements, original written content, graphics, and other materials created specifically for Easel & Ink Studios are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Artwork and other creative works contributed by independent artists remain the property of their respective owners unless otherwise expressly agreed.

You may not reproduce, sell, distribute, claim ownership of, or commercially exploit another person’s artwork or other protected material merely because it appears on Easel & Ink Studios.

Concerns regarding alleged copyright or intellectual property infringement should be submitted through the contact information provided on this website.

Reviews, Tutorials, and Educational Content

Easel & Ink Studios may publish tutorials, demonstrations, reviews, recommendations, techniques, opinions, and other educational or informational content.

Such material is provided for general informational and creative purposes. Individual experiences and artistic results will vary.

Artists should use appropriate care when working with paints, pigments, solvents, tools, equipment, chemicals, powders, or other materials and should follow manufacturer instructions and applicable safety guidance.

Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to present useful and accurate information, but we cannot guarantee that every product description, photograph, price, availability statement, pigment characteristic, color representation, or other detail will always be complete or error-free.

Colors displayed on screens may differ from physical artwork and art materials because of photography, lighting, scanning, monitor calibration, printing, pigments, surfaces, and other factors.

Independent sellers are responsible for the accuracy of their own listings and representations.

Third-Party Links and Services

Easel & Ink Studios may link to independent artists, retailers, manufacturers, social networks, marketplaces, affiliate partners, educational resources, payment processors, and other third-party websites or services.

These services operate independently from Easel & Ink Studios.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, security, policies, products, services, representations, or business practices of independent third parties.

Visiting or purchasing through a third-party service is subject to that provider’s own terms and policies.

Accounts and Security

If account functionality is provided, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity conducted through your account.

Please notify us if you believe an account associated with Easel & Ink Studios has been accessed without authorization.

We may suspend or restrict accounts when reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud, abuse, security threats, violations of these Terms, or risks to the website or community.

Privacy

Your use of Easel & Ink Studios is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how information may be collected, used, retained, and protected through the website.

Availability of the Website

We hope Easel & Ink Studios will always be available when inspiration strikes, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to the website or any particular feature.

Features may occasionally be modified, suspended, removed, interrupted, or unavailable because of maintenance, security concerns, technical problems, third-party services, or changes to the platform.

No Guarantee of Sales, Income, or Results

Participation in Easel & Ink Studios does not guarantee sales, customers, commissions, followers, exposure, business growth, artistic improvement, affiliate income, or any other particular result.

Artists and businesses remain responsible for their own creative and commercial decisions.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Easel & Ink Studios and its owners, administrators, contributors, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the website or from transactions or interactions involving independent third parties.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from your unlawful use of Easel & Ink Studios, your violation of these Terms, your infringement of another person’s rights, or content or products you submit, advertise, or sell through the platform.

Changes to These Terms

Easel & Ink Studios will continue to evolve as our community, marketplace, and services grow.

We may update these Terms & Conditions to reflect changes to our services, technologies, business practices, marketplace structure, or legal obligations.

When substantive changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page may be revised.

Your continued use of the website following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
