Revenue Share Partnership

Zero upfront monthly fees for museums. Instead, visitors pay a small fee (CHF 2.00) per visit when using ArtSnap features. This fee is shared between the museum and ArtSnap according to revenue share percentages defined in the service agreement. This model allows museums to provide premium digital visitor experiences without budget constraints.

Revenue share percentages, visitor fees, included features, and usage limits are defined in individual museum agreements. Early access or beta programs may offer different revenue share splits for limited periods before transitioning to standard terms.

Revenue share plans include usage limits per visitor per visit to maintain service quality and prevent system abuse.

Pricing Modifications and Updates

ArtSnap reserves the right to modify pricing structures, change revenue share percentages, update visitor fees, update usage limits, or adjust CMS tier offerings at any time. Current museum partners with active agreements will be notified at least 30 days in advance of any material pricing changes that affect their existing contracts. Pricing modifications may be implemented to reflect changes in operational costs, third-party AI model pricing, infrastructure expenses, feature enhancements, market conditions, or service improvements. New pricing will apply to renewals and new agreements unless otherwise specified.

Plan and Tier Availability

Revenue share plans and CMS tiers may be modified, renamed, or have limited availability at ArtSnap's discretion. Beta and early access programs may have participant limits. Museums are advised to review current pricing and available plans at https://artsnap.ai/pricing-b2b/ or contact us through the contact form at artsnap.ai for the most up-to-date information and custom proposals.

Payment Terms and Billing

Payment terms are specified in individual service agreements. Revenue share payments are processed on a monthly basis. All fees are denominated in Swiss Francs (CHF) unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payment methods and schedules may vary based on museum location and agreement terms. Late payments may result in service suspension or termination.

Cancellation and Termination Policy

Cancellation terms are defined in individual museum service agreements. Revenue share agreements may be cancelled with written notice as specified in the agreement. Upon cancellation, museums typically retain access to features until the end of the current billing period. Early termination fees may apply in certain circumstances.

You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to the venue.
