Product Listing

After you have successfully been approved as a Qualified Registered User, the next step is to create listings with products relevant to civil protection, healthcare, and humanitarian aid.  Sellers should refer to our applicable policies for detailed guidelines on prohibitions on posting product listings. Examples of prohibited products include, among others, illicit drugs and precursors, firearms and ammunition, indecent items and obscene materials, items that are racially, religiously, or ethnically derogatory, or that promote hatred, violence, racial or religious intolerance, products which are fake or counterfeit or infringe another’s intellectual property rights, or any products prohibited by laws, regulations, sanctions, and trade restrictions. 


All products offered for sale on our platform must comply with all laws and regulations and with our policies. It is each seller’s responsibility to source and sell only authentic items and make sure that the products sold do not violate any intellectual property rights (e.g., copyright, trademark rights, patent rights). It is the seller’s responsibility to provide authentic and official product information and relevant certification documentation according to the relevant rules and regulations or on the buyer’s specific requirements.  For certain products, brands, categories, and sub-categories, we may require sellers to obtain approval before listing products on our platform. To this end, we may request documents and certain performance checks.  We may restrict you from selling certain types of products for various reasons, including regulatory compliance and product safety.  If we determine that a product is prohibited, potentially illegal, or inappropriate, we may remove it from our platform without prior notice and take corrective actions, as appropriate, including immediately suspending and/or terminating your membership. To ensure that the products to be listed on our platform comply with all applicable laws and regulations, you are responsible for conducting legal research, including for the sale and supply of products outside your country of origin. We require you to familiarize yourself with all applicable local laws including product compliance and public authorities’ requirements.  Please note that our policy is to prohibit the use of the Artymys platform, for sale of products originating, or produced, in restricted countries or regions, as provided in accordance with the applicable laws.



Are the products listed on Artymys certified?
We highly encourage sellers to add any held certificates for their products. If the seller has uploaded any certificates, they will be displayed on their product page. The likelihood of certified products to be sold on Artymys is significantly higher as opposed to those that are not certified
Where will the products I list on Artymys, be promoted?

The added products will be promoted on the Artymys marketplace, so that buyers can identify and discover you faster. Some products might be advertised through Google, to further augment discoverability.

Purchasing on Artymys

After you have successfully been approved as a Qualified Registered User, the next step is to search through our platform, find products offered by the sellers and start buying products. Product images, information, and relevant documentation are under the sole responsibility of the relevant seller. 


You are responsible for reading the full item listing and any related terms and information before committing to buy products.   


You enter a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item and place a buying order. We only mediate as a match-making platform for the sales, and we do not act as the contracting party for you. We will not be a party to any contracts between users. We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer. 


Orders Payment

Buyer of an online transaction through our platform shall pay the full transaction price, listed on the product page, to the seller, through the available payment methods and in the manner provided on our platform.

What payment methods are accepted?

Currently, you may pay for products traded through the platform by using Electronic Transfers and Wire Transfers (SWIFT, SEPA, ACH) payment methods. Soon, other options will be made available, such as Debit & Credit Cards payments, Virtual-currency payments etc.

What is the settlement and listing currency?

Currently, the settlement and listing currency on Artymys is only US (United States) Dollars.
The multi-currencies option will be available soon.

VAT and other Taxes

You shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes (such as VAT), duties, governmental levies or any charges or fees that may be imposed on any products or services purchased or supplied through the Artymys Marketplace.

Orders Processing

Sellers and buyers will enter an online transaction for products by completing, submitting, and accepting an order online, using the applicable standard order form on the platform and respecting the time frames for each step of the process as listed in our Selling/Buying Policies

How do I know if my order has been successfully placed?

The order has been successfully placed after the payment confirmation for your order has been provided and a notification that the Seller has started to process your order was received.

Can I cancel my order?

An order can be cancelled before the payment is made. After the payment was made, if a cancellation can be processed, depending on the reason of cancellation, penalties/fees may apply. Orders that have been shipped usually cannot be canceled.
If you would like to cancel your order, please send a cancellation request as soon as possible to support@artymys.com, including your Company's legal name, and the Order ID. We will check the status of your order and inform you of cancellation availability as soon as possible.

Who will arrange and pay for the shipping?

It depends on the seller's Incoterms and the shipping arrangements agreed between the seller and buyer. The shipping can be arranged directly with the seller if the seller provides such an option. For it to be done, you must request a Shipping Quote before placing the Order. In case you cannot, this is because the seller does not provide Shipping/Transportation/Delivery options and you must manage this on your own.

Returns, Selling and Shipping Terms

To ensure a consistent experience for buyers, we require sellers to provide their own return & selling policies and terms & conditions. These will be published or made available on our platform. The return policy will state whether the seller accepts returns or not, and if so, under what conditions. 

Before making a purchase, the buyer should review sellers’ return & selling policy, as by submitting an order, they confirm that they read and understood the return & selling policy of that seller.


Disputes
We help buyers and sellers communicate and resolve issues. We provide a messaging function within our platform that facilitates direct communication between sellers and buyers. If you have a dispute with another user of our services or a third party, we encourage you to contact the other party and try to resolve the dispute amicably. Please refer to our dispute management policies that, together with any other policies, are made available to you in your User Account.
For disputes, please contact us at disputes@artymys.com and let us know in detail about your case.
