Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern use of matterandmedium.com, operated by Matter & Medium, LLC, the Illinois art business of Nasir Hussain (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Please read them before using the site. If you do not agree, please discontinue use. These terms concern website use; any artwork purchase or commission is subject to the specific terms agreed with you.

Artwork information and inquiries

The site presents original artwork and invites purchase and commission inquiries. Sending an inquiry does not place an order, reserve artwork, require payment, or create a binding purchase or commission agreement. Availability, the final price, applicable taxes, payment arrangements, delivery, and other transaction terms must be confirmed directly with us. You must be at least 18, or have a parent or guardian arrange a transaction on your behalf, to enter into a purchase or commission agreement.

Prices are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise. Listed prices include shipping within the continental or contiguous United States as described on the relevant listing. Local pickup or delivery pricing, destinations outside that area, and any additional charges require confirmation. Any applicable taxes will be identified before the transaction is finalized. Availability can change, and a work is not reserved solely because it appears available online.

We aim to keep descriptions, dimensions, prices, and availability accurate. We may correct errors and will notify you of a material error affecting a proposed transaction before seeking your agreement. A correction does not override an already binding agreement or your statutory rights.

Photographs and staged room views

Screen settings, lighting, photography, and viewing conditions can affect apparent colors, texture, and scale. Staged room images, including digitally generated or composited settings, are illustrative; furniture and accessories are not included. Refer to stated dimensions and photographs of the actual artwork. Please ask for additional photographs or clarification before purchasing. These presentation limitations do not excuse a materially inaccurate description or limit applicable consumer rights.

Purchases, commissions, and delivery

Payment, deposits, commission milestones, shipping timing, insurance, pickup or delivery arrangements, cancellation, returns, and remedies for damage will be addressed in the applicable written quote, invoice, or agreement. These website terms do not impose an “all sales final” policy. Mandatory consumer protections continue to apply. Do not send payment card details through the inquiry form or ordinary email; payment instructions will be arranged separately.

Copyright and permitted use

Artwork, photographs, original text, logos, and other site materials are owned by Nasir Hussain, Matter & Medium, LLC, or their respective rights holders and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You may view the site, share links to its pages, and save or print a reasonable number of pages for personal, noncommercial consideration of the artwork. Keep copyright and attribution notices intact.

Except as permitted by law or with prior written permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, sell, license, commercially exploit, or create derivative works from the artwork or site materials. Buying a physical painting does not transfer copyright or reproduction rights unless expressly agreed in writing. Nothing in these terms limits fair use or other rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.

Your submissions and acceptable use

Provide accurate contact information and only materials you have authority to share. You retain your rights in materials you submit and permit us and our service providers to use them only as reasonably needed to respond to your inquiry and perform agreed services. Submission alone grants no permission to publish your materials as promotional content. Personal information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

Do not submit unlawful, threatening, infringing, deceptive, or malicious content; impersonate others; send spam; interfere with site operation; introduce malware; or attempt unauthorized access. Do not use automated tools in a way that disrupts the site or circumvents access controls. We may restrict access or decline to respond to misuse, subject to applicable law.

Third-party services and links

The site relies on third-party hosting, form, font, and analytics services and may link to external websites. Their services may be subject to their own terms and policies. A link does not necessarily imply endorsement. We do not control external content or guarantee third-party availability.

Website availability and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties concerning uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or suitability for a particular purpose. We may modify or temporarily suspend website features. This provision concerns the website, not express commitments made in an artwork transaction.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Matter & Medium, LLC and Nasir Hussain are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from use of or inability to use the website. Nothing here excludes liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or liability that cannot legally be excluded, or limits nonwaivable consumer rights. Any separate artwork agreement and applicable law govern transaction-specific remedies.

Governing law and resolving concerns

Illinois law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except where mandatory law provides otherwise. This choice does not deprive consumers of nonwaivable protections available where they live. Please contact us first about a concern so we can try to resolve it. These terms do not require arbitration, waive class proceedings, or restrict access to a court or regulator with jurisdiction.

Changes and general provisions

We may revise these terms for future website use by posting an updated version with a new date. Changes do not retroactively modify an existing purchase or commission agreement. Where a material change requires notice or affirmative agreement, we will provide it. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
