Artivive Creator Account (ACA) 

Instead of multiple confusing types of accounts, Artivive will offer only one type of account with upgrades and add-ons possibilities. This account is a freemium account – any creative can sign up and use it for free up to a certain number of scans. The biggest change is from a number of artworks to a number of views.

There is only one type of account: The Free Artivive Creator Account which starts at Basic. Users can upgrade or downgrade the accounts as needed, based on the views of the artworks or the features.

If the user wants to upgrade the ACA, he/she can choose from these options:

All our plans/subscriptions are monthly priced and can be changed or canceled at any time. To encourage long-term commitment and help us plan better, we offer a discount of 17% for yearly plans. You can purchase a yearly plan and get two months for free. The subscription will automatically renew.

View limits

As the views become the new currency we will have to give the paying users full control over costs.
Measures for keeping the control over the costs and the artwork active are as follows:

• In the account dashboard, the user can see on a bar how much is used/left.

• When the account view limit is reached, it can go over and the user will be charged for each additional view. More details at “Add-on”. For Basic accounts, when the limit is reached, the artwork will be deactivated. Only in the app, it will show for other 100 views that the limit was reached. Afterward, it will not work anymore with the app. The artwork will be activated automatically when the limit in the account is above 0.

• For cost control, the user will have to set an additional cost limit for the account/month. This will be the amount until the account can be charged for over-usage (more views than in the upgrade). The amount can also be 0.

• Emails will be sent when: 50%, 80%, 100% of the limit is reached, the add-on was added, and/or the artwork was set inactive to not generate any more costs.

Add-on

Get more views for one month:

• 2.000 views – € 19,90
• 5.000 views – € 49,90
• 20.000 views – € 199,90

Note that the add-ons are only available for accounts that have been upgraded to Pro, Marketplace, or Business.

Views over the limit will be charged with € 0,02/views up to € 19,90. By reaching the amount the add-on will be activated. If the add-on is also used before the month is over, the artworks will be deactivated until another add-on will be purchased.

In the future, we might offer more add-ons based on the development of the product.

Special upgrades

1. Sponsored upgrade
   All users can apply for a sponsored upgrade which would be the Marketplace Upgrade. This can be either free or discounted for one year, after that the artist will have to apply again.
   This is a new Artivive sponsoring program where we will sponsor artists, creatives, and influencers with huge potential. We will sponsor only individuals and no companies, collectives, schools, institutions, projects.
2. Educational / Enterprise upgrade
   The accounts that don’t fit as business accounts or have other needs – educational institutions, NGOs, museums, etc. They will be administered and invoiced separately based on the offers Artivive made. Here we will not have public price lists. Based on regions and needs we will have different offerings.
