Third-Party Content Policy & Compliant Procedures

Third-Party Content Policy. As a matter of policy, we do not tolerate any User Materials or Products posted to the Site that, in our sole discretion: infringes intellectual property rights; violates Slovenian law; constitutes child pornography; or is obscene or defamatory. We intend to, in good faith and in our sole discretion, to remove, disable or restrict access to, or the availability of, User Materials or Products that, in our sole discretion, we deem infringing, racist, obscene, obscene as to minors, child pornography, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable. The provisions of this section are intended to implement this policy but are not intended to impose a contractual obligation on us to undertake or refrain from any particular course of conduct. We again highlight, that we cannot undertake to review all User Materials or Products before  they are posted on the Site (or at any time), and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable User Material or Products after they have been posted. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any action regarding Third-Party content by any user or third party.

Third-Party Content Complaints. If you believe that someone has posted User Materials or Products that violates this policy (other than in cases of copyright infringement, which is addressed separately below), we ask you to promptly notify us by email at the following address: hello@mintspace.io. You must use this address if you want to ensure that your complaint is actually received by the appropriate person charged with investigating alleged policy violations.

In order to allow us to respond effectively, please provide us with as much detail as possible, including: (1) the nature of the right infringed or violated (including the registration numbers of any registered trademarks or patents allegedly infringed); (2) all facts which lead you to believe that a right has been violated or infringed; (3) the precise location where the offending User Materials or Products can be found; (4) any grounds to believe that the person who posted the User Materials or Products was not authorized to do so or did not have a valid defense (including the defense of fair use); and (5) if known, the identity of the person or persons who posted the infringing or offending User Materials or Products.

By lodging a complaint, you agree that the substance of your complaint shall be deemed to constitute a representation made under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Slovenia. In addition, you agree, at your own expense, to defend and indemnify us and hold us harmless against all claims which may be asserted against us, and all losses incurred, as a result of your complaint and/or our response to it.

We expect visitors to take responsibility for their own actions and cannot assume liability for any acts of third parties, which take place on the MINTSPACE site. By taking advantage of the Good Samaritan procedures set forth in this Section, you waive any and all claims or remedies that you might otherwise be able to assert against us under any theory of law (including, without limitation, intellectual property laws) that arise out of or relate in any way to the User Materials or Products at the site or our response, or failure to respond, to a complaint.

You agree that we have the right (but not the obligation) to investigate any complaint received. By reserving this right, we do not undertake any responsibility in fact to investigate complaints or to remove, disable or restrict access to or the availability of User Materials or Products. We support free speech on the Internet and therefore will not act on complaints that we believe, in our subjective judgment, to be deficient. If you believe that User Materials or Products remain on the site that violate your rights, your sole remedy shall be against the person(s) responsible for posting or storing it, not against us.

Taxes;

MINTSPACE is not responsible for determining the withholding, sales, use, value added, transfer or other taxes, together with any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto (“Taxes”), that apply to your art/item/product transactions. You agree that you are solely responsible for determining what, if any, Taxes apply to your art transactions and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amounts of Taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities.

Any payments with respect to your item/product/art transactions shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax (a “Withholding Tax”) from any such payment then the sum payable by you shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made the amount received is equal to the sum that would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Upon our request, you agree to promptly provide any tax form that is reasonably required by us so to comply with our tax reporting obligations.
