Kiddizens.com (dba Artbeez.com) strives to be a friendly and safe environment for all of its users. We also depend on our users being careful when they use our Artbeez.com website, particularly when they communicate and interact with others online. We rely on the parents and guardians of our Artbeez Artists to help make sure their child is using www.artbeez.com website responsibly.

While on our site your child is able to log journal entries, comment on blogs, post their artwork, create a self-portrait of themselves that other users of the site may see, exchange moderated messages with their friends, sign up for email updates, post status updates on their profile. We take extreme caution in what information your child is able to post to the site. We use moderation tools that filter out any personal information that your child may try and post about themselves.

This Privacy Policy describes the information practices the www.artbeez.com website. It will tell you about what information we collect about you, how we collect it, what we do with it and who we share it with.

We strive to comply with the guidance issued by the UK Council for Child Internet Safety ("UKCCIS"), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and the Information Commissioner's Office, in relation to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. We will not activate a child's Artbeez Account until we have the approval of their parent, guardian or a responsible adult to do so through the Activation Account email we send to them. Details of how we do this are set out in the next section 'Parental Control.

Artbeez.com has been awarded TRUSTe's Children's Privacy Seal signifying that this privacy policy and practices have been reviewed by TRUSTe for compliance with TRUSTe's program requirements including transparency, accountability and choice regarding the collection and use of your personal information. The TRUSTe program does not cover information that may be collected through downloadable software. TRUSTe's mission, as an independent third party, is to accelerate online trust among consumers and organizations globally through its leading privacy Trustmark and innovative trust solutions. If you have questions or complaints regarding our privacy policy or practices, please contact us at privacy@artbeez.com If you are not satisfied with our response you can contact TRUSTe here.

1.  Parental Control
When an Artbeez Account is opened we will always ask for your email address or the email address of a parent or guardian. We also ask that you create a username and password. We will use this email address to send you an activation email or send the parent or guardian an email notifying them that their child wishes to open an Artbeez Account and may not do so without their approval. We do this to ensure that their parent or guardian is aware of what Artbeez.com involves and has granted permission for the child to use Artbeez.com. At this stage the parent or guardian will have the opportunity to refuse permission. If the parent or guardian grants permission, we will ask them to set up a Parent login and password. The account does not activate unless this has been done. A child's participation or access to an activity cannot be conditioned on him or her providing more personal information than is reasonably necessary for them to participate on the site or in that activity.

We will also ask you whether you would like to receive our newsletter. If you choose to receive our newsletter you can change your mind at anytime by updating the preferences in the 'My Account' section of the Artbeez Account or by following the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each communication.

Parents or guardians may use their login details to access their child's Artbeez Account at any time so that they can have peace of mind that their child is safe. We will also use the email address submitted to notify the parent of notable activity on the child's Artbeez Account. i.e. selling an artwork, posting new artwork, ordering merchandise etc.

If as a parent or guardian you have any concerns about your child's safety when using Artbeez.com we want to hear from you so that we can try to address your concerns. Please contact us at info@artbeez.com

2.  What information do we collect?
When you or your child opens an Artbeez Account they will be asked to choose an Artbeez Artist name and a password. Children are not permitted to use their real name as their Username. Artbeez will not accept duplicate artist names and will suggest alternate names. We will also ask them to provide their email address, the parent or guardian's email address, their date of birth, the country they live in and their gender. In some instances we will ask for additional information such as a mailing address and PayPal account information of the parent.

As well as the information we collect when an Artbeez Account is opened, we may also collect and process the following:

3.  How We Use and Store the Information We Collect
We collect a very limited amount of personally identifiable information about children who use Artbeez.com simply because we don't need it.

We display the child's country of residence and gender so that other Artbeez Artists and users of Artbeez.com know how old they are and where they come from. We display this information on the child's Artbeez Account together with their artistic self-portrait. While we collect details of children's dates of birth, we do not make this information available to other users of Artbeez.com to view and only use it to automatically update the age of our Artbeez Artist.

We use the information that we collect from you to:

• *  run the Artbeez.com Account and to allow the child to submit artwork to display in their Artbeez Gallery;
• *  deal with any queries and to investigate complaints submitted by you or any other user of Artbeez.com, and to take action in relation to any potential threats to the safety of users of Artbeez.com;

• *  credit your account from with money earned by your child (if premium member) and process orders for artwork and merchandise;

• *  When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
• *  The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staffs operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

• *  However, we do use some third parties to provide aspects of our service, including to fulfil orders for printed merchandise and to process payments. Where you order merchandise printed with artwork we will forward the details of your order to our service provider together with you contact information such as your name, email address and the address for shipping. When you order goods, only parent or a grown up can fulfil the payment process since it requires a valid PayPal email ID. We do not allow these third parties to use the information we provide to them for any unrelated purposes, for example to market their goods and services to you.

Updated: February 2012

We would like to thank you for visiting Artbeez.com, and thank you in advance for becoming an Artbeez Artist or for becoming a supporter of our Artbeez Artists. Here at Artbeez.com we want to make sure that all of our users are treated fairly and that Artbeez.com is a safe and fun environment for everyone. We have set out some special rules here which we think help make sure this happens. We call them the "Terms".

If you are an Artbeez Artist or use Artbeez.com it is important that you follow these Terms. If you find any of these Terms difficult to understand please review them with a parent, or a responsible grown up (let's call them your "Grown Up"), and they can help explain them to you. If you do not accept these Terms you should not send us any artwork.

Parents or grown ups who allow a child to become an Artbeez Artist also need to adhere to the Terms. We would ask that you make sure that the child follows the Terms too.

Artbeez.com is run by Kiddizens Limited. We are an English company. You can find us at 10 Western Road, Romford, Essex RM1 3JT, United Kingdom and we have a company Number 07324997 (we like to call ourselves "Kiddizens").

Sometimes Kiddizens will change these Terms. Any change will be effective as soon as the new Terms are posted on Artbeez.com. To make sure that you are following the latest Terms it is important that you check these Terms now and again. If you continue to use Artbeez.com after a change is made to the Terms you are agreeing to follow the new Terms.

If you have any questions about these Terms please email Kiddizens at info@artbeez.com

PART 1 - FOR KIDS AND GROWN UPS

1. Opening an Artbeez Account
   Remember it's free to open an Artbeez Account and display art in your Artbeez Gallery. In order to become an Artbeez Artist you first need to open an Artbeez account. There are three steps to opening an account:
   1. The first thing you will be asked to do is create a self-portrait. This is the picture that other Artbeez Artists will see when they visit your Artbeez Gallery and on Artbeez.com message boards.
   2. Next we need some information to open your account. You will need to:
      1. Choose your Artbeez Artists name. You can use any name you want as long as no one else has chosen that name but please do not use your real name.
      2. Pick a password. Remember this should be something you can remember because you will use it to login to your Artbeez Account in future.
      3. Tell us your date of birth so that we can tell other Artbeez Artists and users of Artbeez.com how old you are. Remember that we will only show your age and will never show anyone else your date of birth.
   3. Lastly you will need to enter your Grown Up's email address. It is important that you tell your Grown Up that you want to open an Artbeez Account as we will send them an email asking if them if you have their permission. If they say no, you will not be able to open your Artbeez Account. If they say yes, we will ask them to set up a login and secret password so that they can access your Artbeez Account too. Your Grown Up will also need to enter their personal details so that we can check that they are a Grown Up.
2. Keep your password safe!
   Except for your Grown Up we don't want anyone to change your Artbeez Gallery or your Artbeez Account without your permission so please keep your password safe. If you forget your password or you think that someone else might know what it is and would like to change it, you can do this by going into 'My Account' and clicking 'Forgotten Password'.
   
   You must not use an Artbeez Artist name or password or any other information relating to an Artbeez Account which does not belong to you.
3. Using Artbeez.com
   You must only use Artbeez.com in accordance with the Terms. There are obvious things that you shouldn't do because they are not nice. For example you can't bully or swear at people on Artbeez.com, or do anything which stops anyone else enjoying using Artbeez.com. You should also be careful that you do not do anything which may bother, upset or make things difficult for any person, or do anything unlawful or that could hurt another person, or do anything which could stop the normal working of Artbeez.com.
   
   You can display lots of different kinds of art in your Artbeez Gallery, including paintings, sketches, drawings, collages or artistic photographs ("Artwork"). You promise that you won't submit any Artwork or messages on Artbeez.com which are rude, nasty or shocking. Remember that you are responsible for everything you put on Artbeez.com.
   
   You also promise not to upload any Artwork or other files that contain computer viruses or that may damage the working of Artbeez.com or Kiddizens' equipment or systems.
1. Stay Safe
   We want everyone who uses Artbeez.com to be safe and you can help by remembering these to do these important things:
   1. Never give anyone your personal information like your phone number, your full name or your address, and don't give out this information about anyone else either. You should never ask anyone for their personal information on Artbeez.com.
   2. Remember when you pick your Artbeez Artists name don't use your real name.
   3. Please don't make up information about yourself or about your Artwork. You need to be honest when using Artbeez.com, for example about how old you are or claiming that you made an Artwork when really someone else did. If you are not honest about something you tell us then we can cancel or suspend your account. If you think someone is not being honest or is pretending to be someone else on Artbeez.com please let us know.
   4. Please do not make arrangements with people who contact you on Artbeez.com to sell your Artwork outside of Artbeez.com.
2. What happens if you break the Terms?
   We monitor use of Artbeez.com including the Artwork that is uploaded to Artbeez.com, as well as messaging and buzzing between Artbee Artists. If we find that you have broken the Terms or been untruthful we may have to close your Artbeez Gallery or stop you from using Artbeez.com. We really don't want to have to do that so please follow the Terms!
3. What Artwork can I show in my Artbeez Gallery?
   You must only post Artwork that you have made and should never display other people's Artwork in your Artbeez Gallery, even if the Artwork has been made by your friends or family, unless you have their permission. By posting Artwork on Artbeez.com, you promise that you are allowed to do so, that you are allowed to grant us the licence described below and that doing so will not infringe any rights of anyone else in the Artwork. We can close your Artbeez Account if you do infringe anyone else's rights in the Artwork.
   
   Each time you post new Artwork in your Artbeez Gallery you will need to provide information about it, for example, whether you are selling a copy of an Artwork or the original Artwork. It is very important that this information is correct so that any art buyers know what they are buying. If you find scanning and loading your Artwork on to Artbeez.com difficult you should ask your Grown Up or another responsible adult to help you, and if they can't solve the problem, they should contact Artbeez.com customer services on info@artbeez.com or Contact Us.
4. What can Kiddizens do with my Artwork?
   Where you display Artwork in your Artbeez Gallery you will continue to be the owner of it and will give us permission (in the form of an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty free, sub-licensable, transferable, worldwide licence) to:
   
   Use, display, store, copy and distribute your Artwork, and create derivative works using your Artwork, in connection with these Terms and the operation of Artbeez.com, for our internal business purposes, for the purposes of creating promotional and marketing communications, books and catalogues for Artbeez.com and for creating merchandise which will be made available for sale to raise money for charity and other commercial purposes.
   
   Where Kiddizens uses your Artwork under these Terms you agree that you will not insist on being identified as the author of the artwork and will not object to any derogatory use of the artwork by Kiddizens.
   
   Please note that merchandise may include cards, posters and t-shirts. We will not use your Artwork on any merchandise without your express permission first. Where we sell merchandise which uses your Artwork we will give you a royalty that you can agree to beforehand.
5. Who can I message/buzz on Artbeez.com?
   Artbeez.com lets you message your friends who are on Artbeez.com. This is more like an Intranet. Please always keep your messages nice and polite and follow these Terms. We use a special moderating software on Artbeez.com so we detect if someone is swearing or using rude words, so please don't do it. Remember that you are responsible for all the messages you send on Artbeez.com.
   
   Remember if you receive any nasty or upsetting messages when using Artbeez.com you should use the buttons on Artbeez.com to report the message to us and you should tell your parents, or a responsible adult immediately.

   You can only sell your Artwork if you have paid a subscription fee and are a Premium Artbeez Member.

You can also select how much of the sale price you make you would like to donate to charity. You can donate anything from 20% up to the full sale price. It is a good idea to get your Grown Up's help with working out the right price as this may be difficult.
   
   You can earn up to 80% of the sale price of any piece of your Artwork but obviously you will earn less where you choose to donate more of the sale price to charity. We will also deduct from the sale price the cost we are charged for processing the buyer's payment.
   
   For the percentage of the sale price you choose to keep, minus the payment processing charge, you will earn vouchers from different online and high street retailers for the sale of your Artwork. We will send these to the registered adult's email address at the end of each month. Of course we cannot guarantee that you will sell Artwork that you display on Artbeez.com. Kiddizens will not provide any payment or compensation other than by way of vouchers for the sale of your Artwork or any merchandise, which uses your Artwork, and will not provide any reviews of any of the Artworks on Artbeez.com.
   
   It is your responsibility to give potential buyers an accurate description of the Artwork you are selling and to show them what the Artwork looks like.
   
   When someone buys your Artwork we will send your Grown Up an email to tell them. You will have 10 days from the date of this email to send the buyer the Artwork they have purchased. Remember that once a buyer has bought your Artwork you must promise to send it to them or tell us straight away that you will not send it, in which case you will need to return the money to us and we will refund the buyer. You can find their address under 'Order History' under the 'My Account' tab which only your parents can access with their own login. You should ask your Grown Up or a responsible adult to help you package your Artwork to send to the buyer.

How to transfer your artwork to the computer?

Unless your artwork has been created digitally, in order to get your artwork from the easel/drawing table on to a computer, you need to translate it into a digital file. You can do that either by  (a) Photographing it or (b) Scanning it. The choice will depend upon the size or type of artwork and the availability of a scanner or camera.

Note: You want the best and trust possible representation of your artwork especially if you are interested in selling it. In general to give you flexibility to use your images for selling (original or digital version) and printing on cards, t-shirts or other merchandize it is best to have a high resolution digital version of your artwork from the very start.

• Photographing your artwork: When photographing art, it is important that the colours are as similar to the original as possible and that the image is sharply in focus. But be prepared that images published on the web do not look the same on all monitors as each monitor may have its own colour or resolution setting. So the best you can do is make sure that the darkest details of your art are visible and the brightest parts are not faded into whiteness.
• You can use a smartphone (with at least 2 megapixel capacity) to photograph the artwork but for best results use a camera fitted with Zeiss or Nikon optics.
• To make sure you do not distort or skew the out edges, do not stand too close rather zoom in on it instead.
• Remove any glass protection from top if possible before taking the photograph
• Do not use direct flash as it will give unwanted reflections. The best way to avoid that would be to photograph in ample natural light environment.

Note: Do not digitally manipulate your pictures if you plan to sell the print as the buyer will not be happy to receive a picture different from what he saw on the website and has the right to return it.

• Scanning your artwork: For any artwork that is small enough and flat, you could scan it. You will need a flat bed scanner installed and connected to a computer (you can also save to a memory stick from the scanner and then transfer it to the computer). Ideally you should have access to a graphics art quality scanner for best results.  Before use, make sure the scanner glass is clean. Then put the artwork face down on the glass ensuring that the print area is lined well along the edges of the glass to avoid getting a skewed scan image.

You should aim to scan at higher resolutions - 200dpi or above at least and if scanning for printing, at 300dpi. Once scanned you may need to straighten off-square scans so they do not look crooked on your gallery or the public viewing gallery. You can do that using the basic image editor on your computer such as iPhoto or Windows Photo Gallery (Microsoft's iPhoto version)

Note: Do not retouch the scanned image in Photoshop or any other Image editing software if you plan to sell the original artwork as the buyer will not be happy to receive an artwork different from what he saw on the website and may return it.

 

How to choose the File Format?
You can choose to save and upload your images with the following formats:

• JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) pronounced “jay-peg� is the most commonly used format. It support the full range of colours and compresses images without losing apparent image quality. This would be the recommended format for most images or photographs.
• GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) pronounced “jif�. This format is good for simple graphics with very limited color range like cartoon, doodles or line drawings.
• PNG (Portable Network Graphics) pronounced “ping� combines the characteristics of JPEG and GIF. It supports the full range like JPEG but does not compress as efficiently for the same level of apparent quality.

  

  

If you wish to buy an artwork, you will need to request your Parent or a Grown Up to help you.

They are required to have a PayPal I.D. or create a PayPal account as part of the buying process.

If you have membership, you could invite your friends to join you in making this project by contributing their artwork when you get to step 3 !

A guide for pricing your artwork

Pricing artwork is not a simple issue as everyone has their own view of what their art is worth. The truth is that your art is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. But there are some simple points you should keep in mind that will help you price it reasonably as you build your own understanding and awareness over time.

Identify what is your USP (Unique Selling Point) Price of any artwork is based upon its uniqueness and visual appeal. Novelty of your artistic characteristics that set you apart in a positive way are definitely something that any art collector would give you credit for.

Be realistic You must be able to assess your art objectively to understand and evaluate its quality in relation to other artists and all other art in general. The more aware you are about what other artists (of your age or older) are creating around the world, the better equipped you will be to see your work in that context and price it realistically.

Be competitive It is important to look at prices of comparable artwork. Look for examples of similar artworks by freelancers and fine artists and use it as benchmark. This is especially important when you start on your own for the first time and eventually you will build your own track record and can depend upon your own sales histories when pricing later works.

Start cheap and build a following If it advisable to start with low prices and gradually build a fan base with rack record of lots of sales. The more you sell the more credible and more attractive you become for the next buyer. And the more you sell the more you can raise for your favorite charity. This will give you the confidence in your works and with time you will be able to increase the prices having gained the knowledge of what your art can be worth!

Clear and Consistent pricing structure If you plan to sell more than one artwork, base your price according to the same basic principals that you price the rest of your artwork so that similar works of art have similar prices. If you want to be recognized and establish a reputation it is important to follow certain base guidelines to show consistency in the prices throughout your entire collection. This delivers a clear and credible message to anyone wanting to buy your artworks.

Time and material Do keep in mind the cost of materials and the amount of time you needed to create the artwork. Although there is no direct correlation between the amount of time and material spent and the price of any artwork, where there is clearly significant cost involved you would want to factor that into your asking price. As you start to have an art collector fan base, you will be able to account for your costs easily as compared to the beginning of your art career.

Seek opinion Whenever possible conduct an informal survey by asking parents, other adults, friends or those most interested in your art how much they think it should sell for. Put together as many people's opinion to get a general idea of what you should aim for. As you become better and better known, a brand name, so to speak, your art begins to merit premium pricing, or pricing beyond that of your contemporaries.

What you are required to do depends upon of the 'Type' of artwork you sell. * Art buyer's address is to be found under Sales History-My Accounts using Parent Login

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• You do not sell the copyright when you sell any type of artwork
• Price to include postage cost if above £2.75 (which is standard cost we will add on)
