PROXRI DEAL

quick intro

This Proxri Deal is part of our approach to downloadable fresh art, and applies to downloading, copying, printing, using, sharing, modifying, publishing and distributing the resources here, as well as viewing the site and other potential situations related to the resources. It also applies to adopting or adapting this Proxri Deal itself. It's a shift in emphasis that focuses more on the proximity.

inspiration

With our Proxri Deal below, the artists and developers of artdown want to relate to people in the spirit of the ProxThink Growth Model, which has the potential to be sustainable, flexible, healthy, fun and efficient, partly due to a greater focus on the proximity.

PROXRI DEALS FOR EACH ARTIST

For each artist, please combine the agreement below with the artist's own ProxMonitor, found via the artists page.

ESSENCE OF DEAL

As you find our relationship rewarding, proxri with the proximity in mind.

HOW DO YOU PROXRI?
How do you proxri? "Proxri" is short for ProxReward, a reward which relates elements in the proximity, in this case the Proximity of our Proxri Deal. You can proxri with money and/or elements of your choice.

WHAT'S THIS LIKE?
ProxRewards (proxri) in practice are sort of like the give and take of a neighborhood, relationship, friendship or perhaps being a considerate traveler. You may want the neighborhood, relationship, friendship or location you're visiting to survive, thrive, and take care of you as you take care of it. You may also want it to persist, adapt and change as needed, which is how proximities stay sustainable and life stays interesting. Relationships of this kind persist longer than transactions, so our relationship and this Proxri Deal continues however you are exposed to or use the Resources, whether online or offline.

1) KEY ELEMENTS

Essence and Summary of Deal

The Essence and Summary of the Deal above are part of the proximity of the deal.

Our Relationship

We propose a relationship focused around this site and the resources found here. There are three key parts:
a) Your exposure to, and usage of, the Resources provided,
b) Our Interactions, and
c) Our Collaboration.

a) Your Exposure to, and Usage of, the Resources Provided

Resources - Definition

The Resources of this website are the art images, downloadable art, downloadable art products (like printable cards and other PDFs or JPEGs) physical art, writing, text, ideas, concepts and innovations. The word art refers to art as well as photography.

Resources - Exposure and Usage

You may use or be exposed to the Resources in diverse direct and indirect ways, and benefit and be rewarded by your use or exposure. Note that usage includes all manner of publishing, distributing and broadcasting.

The word “you” should be broadly construed to include individuals, groups, organizations, institutions and so on. The word “may” in the rest of this section is used in the sense of “it will possibly happen” and also “you are allowed to,” provided you honor this Proxri Deal.

Your exposure and use may be primarily related to this site, or more indirectly related, including but not limited to both formal and casual social and technological networks. In other words, Our Relationship exists wherever, whenever and however you are exposed to or use the Resources, whether online or offline, so our Proxri Deal is in effect then and there as well.

You may enjoy and consider the Resources as presented, or you may use the Resources to create or generate other results. Some examples: You may view or access Resources here; download them; copy them; print them; share them; publish, distribute or broadcast them; see them published or broadcast; hear someone talking about them; see them in a public or private space; buy physical works; see them in a search or feed; use or modify them to create or generate other creative works, ideas, products, services, innovations or financial results; or use, learn about, or relate to the Resources in a variety of other ways.

b) Our Interactions

Ongoing interactions are part of our relationship. Our ongoing interactions may be via this site, email, blogs, via various social or technological networks, or any other means, whether direct or indirect. Interactions may also include collaboration (see next paragraph).

c) Our Collaboration

Collaboration may be part of our relationship. Together, we may jointly create, adapt or modify Resources, Our Interactions, Our Collaboration, Our Relationship and various other elements and relationships.
