Terms of Service.
1. What Arthead is
Arthead is an independent editorial platform that aggregates open calls, grants, residencies, competitions, and exhibition opportunities for artists. We are a Canadian federal corporation operating from Toronto, Canada.
Listings on Arthead are selected and edited by our team. Institutions cannot pay to be listed or ranked higher. Any advertising partnerships are clearly labeled and kept separate from editorial content.
2. Your account
To use most features of Arthead, you need to create an account. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account.
You must provide accurate information when registering. Arthead is intended for individuals aged 16 and over.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, abuse the service, or engage in fraudulent activity.
3. Subscriptions and billing
Tiers
Arthead offers four tiers: Free, Newsletter, Studio, and Studio Pro. Paid tiers are billed monthly and auto-renew unless cancelled.
Payments
All payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize Stripe to charge your payment method on a recurring basis. Prices are in USD and are displayed before you confirm any purchase.
Refunds
Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain access to paid features until the end of the billing period.
Free tier
The free tier is provided as-is with no guarantees of continued availability. We may change what features are included in the free tier at any time with reasonable notice.
4. Cancellation
You can cancel your subscription at any time through the Stripe billing portal, accessible from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
To delete your account entirely, email support@arthead.world. We will remove your data within 30 days.
5. Your content
Files you upload to your material vault and text you write in your application tracker belong to you. You grant Arthead a limited license to store and display this content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you.
We do not share your vault files or application notes with anyone. We do not use your content to train AI models.
If you delete your account, your uploaded files and personal content are deleted from our systems within 30 days.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:

- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the service
- Submit false or misleading information through the contact form
- Impersonate another person or organization
- Interfere with the operation of the service
7. Editorial independence
Arthead makes reasonable efforts to ensure that listings are accurate and up to date. However, we are not responsible for errors in the original call descriptions, changes made by the hosting institution after we publish, or the outcome of any application you submit.
We do not guarantee coverage of any submitted open call. Inclusion decisions are made solely by our editorial team.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
Arthead is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the service's reliability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the service. We may perform maintenance, updates, or experience downtime outside our control.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Arthead is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service, including missed application deadlines, lost data, or reliance on listing information.
Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of Arthead is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Canada and the Province of Ontario. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Ontario, Canada.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the service after that date constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
