These terms govern the use of the AerariumChain marketplace and the purchase of the products published by museums. The site is run by Werea Srl (Wired Enterprise Re-Enhancement of Assets S.r.l.), via Lamarmora 13/c, 20900 Monza (MB), Italy, VAT IT08833540969, certified email werea@legalmail.it.
1. The marketplace
Museums publish their works and decide which products to offer: digital assets (images, 3D models), usage licenses, physical copies (fine art prints, 3D prints) and NFTMicro patronage shares. Options a museum has not enabled yet are marked "not available yet" and cannot be bought.
2. Use of the site
Images, models and texts of the works belong to the museums or to their rights holders and are published with their permission. Browsing the site grants no reproduction right: to use an image or a model you need the matching license. You may not systematically extract content, circumvent technical measures or use the site for unlawful purposes. You must be of legal age to buy.
3. Purchases of digital assets, licenses and physical copies
Products enabled by the museum are bought online, with payment handled by Stripe. The contract is concluded when payment is confirmed; you receive the order confirmation by email.
- Seller and payment. The contract is concluded with Werea Srl, the seller, acting on behalf of the museum holding the rights. Payment is processed by Stripe on Werea Srl's account. Prices are in euro, VAT excluded: the VAT of the buyer's country, based on the billing address, is added at payment and shown before you confirm (businesses in the European Union with a valid VAT number are subject to the reverse charge); amounts in currencies other than euro are indicative and you are charged in euro.
- Licenses. The license is non-exclusive, non-transferable and limited to the use, territory, duration and print run stated in the certificate issued with the order. Every publication must credit the work and the museum as stated in the certificate. For public cultural heritage, articles 107 and 108 of Italian Legislative Decree 42/2004 and the museum's rules also apply.
- Digital content. Files are made available through personal, time-limited links. Before paying, by ticking a mandatory checkbox in the cart, you give your express consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal (art. 59(1)(o) of the Italian Consumer Code; art. 16(m) Directive 2011/83/EU). The order confirmation email repeats this consent on a durable medium. The legal guarantee of conformity for digital content applies (Directive (EU) 2019/770).
- Physical copies. When available, they are made to order; delivery times and costs are shown before payment. Consumers may withdraw within 14 days of delivery, except for goods made to their specifications (art. 59(c)). The legal guarantee of conformity applies (articles 128 ff. of the Italian Consumer Code).
- Business customers. Consumer protection rules do not apply to purchases made in the course of a business or profession.
4. NFTMicro patronage
- An NFTMicro is a digital patronage share recorded on the Algorand blockchain. The OER type (Only Experience Rights) gives experience rights linked to the work and transfers no ownership, copyright or economic right in the work.
- It is not a financial instrument or an investment: it gives no right to returns.
- NFTMicro are bought in euro by card or other methods offered by Stripe, under the same sale and payment terms as section 3: the seller is Werea Srl, acting on behalf of the museum, and payment is processed by Stripe on Werea Srl's account, with VAT as set out in section 3. The unit price is shown on the work's page; the minimum order is 0.50 euro.
- Custody. Units bought by card are assigned to you and held in custody by Werea Srl in the platform's sale wallets (the museum's market wallet and the AerariumChain reserve); Werea Srl keeps a record of them. You see them in your collection after confirming the email address used for the purchase.
- Transfer to your wallet. You can ask at any time to transfer the units to an Algorand wallet of yours, which must have opted in to the asset. The transfer is normally recorded on the blockchain within 5 business days; from then on you hold them, and blockchain transactions are public and irreversible.
- The right of withdrawal does not apply because the units are delivered immediately to your collection: as for digital content (section 3), before paying you give express consent to immediate performance and acknowledge the loss of the right of withdrawal by ticking the mandatory checkbox in the cart, and the order confirmation email repeats it.
5. Liability
We take care over the information on the works, which comes from the museums. We are not liable for interruptions of the site due to maintenance or causes beyond our control. Nothing in these terms limits our liability where the law does not allow it, or the rights the law gives consumers.
6. Governing law and jurisdiction
Italian law applies. For consumers, the courts of the consumer's place of residence have jurisdiction, and consumers keep the mandatory protections of their country; in other cases the court of Monza. Consumers may use the alternative dispute resolution procedures provided by law.
7. Changes and contact
We may update these terms; orders are governed by the version in force at the time of purchase. Contact: info@aerariumchain.com.
