1. Introduction
Uniprint is a platform that connects creative art talents with potential consumers with a view of ordering personalized products and items. Consumers are able to utilize Uniprint as an online medium to submit illustration requests. Upon receipt of illustration requests, Uniprint will then connect consumers with an art talent contributor, who will submit an illustration design for consumers’ consideration. Consumers are at the liberty to elect whether to prescribe to the Standard Package or Premium Package offered by Uniprint, details of the respective packages are as follows:-
i. Standard Package: Consumers will be able to place requests and orders for the design illustration printed on designated products through the Uniprint platform. Subscribers to the Standard Package will be entitled to one round of amendment in relation to the design illustration in light of consumers’ comments. The Standard Package allows the consumer to receive the product only and does not grant the consumer any rights of access to the original design file(s) nor any other rights related to the design illustration.
ii. Premium Package: Consumers will be granted license access in relation to the design illustration by art talent contributor to a 300dpi design file, while being able to print the illustration on designated products through the Uniprint platform, but will not be entitled to resell the design illustration license. The license access transfer between consumers and art talent contributors under the premium package shall be subject to the terms of the Agreement (hyperlink). Subscribers to the Premium Package will be entitled to three rounds of amendment in relation to the design illustration by the art talent contributor in light of consumers’ comments.
The Uniprint website will also supply a line of “top products” printed with illustrations selected by Uniprint to allow for consumers to place orders on the same; selected art talent contributors will be subject to a 40% commission reimbursement.
