1. I, the undersigned, agree that I will not hold the Art League of Ocean City, any of its volunteers, employees, or Board members responsible for any loss or damage, however caused, to any work submitted for sale, including any packaging and display materials.

2. Artwork may be retrieved by a person designated by me and made known to the Gallery Assistant.

3. I understand that the ALOC receives a commission of thirty percent (30%) of the sale price of artwork and all sales of artwork exhibited must be processed through the ALOC. If the sale price was discounted through an ALOC member purchase discount, the artist will still receive 70% compensation as a percentage of the asking price. Payment will be mailed by check to the artist the first week of the month following the sale.

4. I understand that all prices are established by the individual artists and are not negotiable by the ALOC, its staff or gallery volunteers. However, due to overhead costs the minimum price for any item is $10.

5. I understand that the ALOC reserves the right to judge whether or not a piece of art is the work of the submitting artist, and if the work is appropriate for display in the ALOC gallery or at other ALOC shows or community events.

6. I understand that an unaltered image of my artwork may be used in publicity (print, web, and social media) with credit given to the artist.

7. The number of artwork in the retail area is limited to 4 pieces by any one artist. In order to keep the retail area fresh and to allow the maximum number of artists to display, art work is limited to six months and will be displayed on a space available basis. I understand items are subject to be backstocked if space is limited. Artwork not retrieved 3 months after the 6 month display period, or 3 months after contact by ALOC representative to retrieve the object will be disposed of in any manner decided upon by the ALOC.
