The Printoteca Marketplace
The Printoteca Marketplace is an online space for the creative community in order to promote and sell products from the Printoteca portfolio printed with graphics provided by designers. In the Marketplace, each artist has the opportunity to create his own virtual store free of charge, which he can customize within the limits allowed by the platform.
The general public has access to both the Marketplace as a whole and the partners' individual shops. For your designs to be easy to find in the marketplace, please make the simple and clear descriptions for them.
Designs uploaded by you to Marketplace can be used by the Printoteca in promotion campaigns of the sales channels (including campaigns with products offered free of charge), but we have no obligation to promote them.
We have the right to stop publishing graphics or descriptive texts on certain sales channels or removing them from the platform if we suspect that their sale is harmful to any third party.
Your partner's commission
Designs uploaded by you on products generate a new sales price for them, which includes your commission. When you have a confirmed sale made for one of your products on the platform, you will see in your partner account the amount of commission you have to cash in. It is calculated using the formula: final cost of sales (without VAT) - cost of production (equivalent to the cost of products available in the configuration store produced without VAT).
If we ship to countries with another VAT regime, small price changes and, implicitly, commissions changes may occur.
Within 15 days from the end of the previous month and if the amount of the commission to be received reaches the minimum ammount(100 lei / 20 euros), the commission for the sales completed in the previous month will be transferred to the indicated account. The payment will be made either in a lei account or in a euro account open on behalf of the Partner. If the payment data provided is incorrect, you will incur any cost generated by the wrong bank transfer.
If the partner's status permits invoices to be issued, the commission will be paid after the partner's invoice was issued between 1 and 15 days, corresponding to the sales commission completed in the previous month. In this situation, there is no minimum payment threshold.
Payments for External Partners will be in accordance with the Romanian tax legislation. External partners will be charged the the price without VAT, as long as they have a valid VAT code.
The commission can be converted into credit for making purchases on the site if the Partner imakes an express request to do so.
Duration of the contract
This contract is valid for an indefinite period and may be unilaterally interrupted at any time. Closing the partner account is equivalent to the conclusion of the contract. At the time of the conclusion of the contract, any unpaid amount between the parties will be paid within 60 days at most.
Final provisions
This contract can only be modified from the very new functionalities that will be developed on the Prtoteca site, without reducing the amount of commission to be credited to the time of the change. Any change in the terms of the contract will be announced by e-mail, the Partner having the option of terminating the contract at any time.
