Thank you for your purchase from Art Heroes. You are probably eager to show off what your purchase looks like on your wall. We at Art Heroes are always delighted to see how you have displayed your purchase. We love seeing your photos and videos on outlets such as social media. Feel free to tag us!

Of course, the Dutch Copyright Act already allows you quite a bit of leeway. You do not need permission from us, Art Heroes, or the Artist. For example:

• You can take a photo or video of the space or the inside of the space where the Work is displayed, but the Work on display must not be the focus of the photo or video. The Work may be fully visible, but it should not take centre stage. For example, the photo or video should be framed in such a way that it appears small or slightly blurry and does not draw the viewer’s eye. The Work is simply a part of a bigger picture which focuses on something other than this Work. This is called “incidental inclusion”.
• You may want to discuss the Work in a video or post a photo with a caption discussing the Work. You may want to express why you bought it during an unboxing, a review, or to show the decorative value of a Work in your home. If you clearly mention the source (Art Heroes) and the name of the Artist of the Work, and you do not depict the Work larger or longer than necessary for your discussion of it, this will be considered a citation.

We at Art Heroes understand that it can sometimes be difficult to determine whether you are complying with the rules of the Copyright Act. This is why we have made an agreement with the Artists that affords our Customers even more freedom to take and publish photos or videos of or including a Work. We therefore would like to provide you with the licence below, so you can share photos and videos of your purchases without having to worry.
