This agreement is made between Golden State Fur Con (GSFC) also known as (AEIOU) and ARTIST. ARTIST is defined as an individual or business selling wares in the ARTIST ALLEY. Submission to receive a seat at the Artist Alley GSFC indicates the artist has read and accepted this Terms of Service.

1. AUTHORIZED SALES ONLY
   Only artists approved as “Artist Alley Artists” may be permitted to sell wares in the Artist’s Alley at GSFC.
2. SELECTION PROCESS
   Artists are encouraged to sign up ahead of time for the date desired. Submissions are raffled to determine which artists will be permitted seats in the Artist’s Alley on each day (defined as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). If an artist does not show up fifteen minutes after the opening of Artist’s Alley, their slot is forfeit and an artist from the waiting list will take their place. Artists from the waiting list will be selected by first come, first serve of artists physically present at the Artist’s Alley table by the designated reporting time.

4. TAX ID REQUIRED
   Artists must hold a current and valid California Sales and Use Tax ID. This tax ID is required during setup– we will check this when you arrive at GSFC and check into the Artist Alley. Artists are responsible for filing sales and use tax returns in accordance with California State Law.
5. BADGE NOT INCLUDED
   Seating in the Artist’s Alley does not come with a badge. Please be sure to register yourself with GSFC Registration. Anyone entering the Artist’s Alley must have a badge.
6. ACCEPTABLE MERCHANDISE
   Only items that are produced by/handmade by the artist are allowed in the artist alley. Items that are resold are not allowed.
   GSFC does not permit artists to display any sexually charged merchandise to the public. It must be hidden away (such as in an “Adults Only” binder), or censored (any graphics with genitals or breasts uncovered must be covered by a post-it note).
   Artists are required to check the government issued IDs of any customers interested in viewing or purchasing the sexual merchandise to ensure the customer is at least eighteen years old.
   Displays should be “PG” rated – remember, minors attend our convention! All merchandise sold or displayed by artists must be in accordance with local, state, and federal laws. The sale of AI generated artwork, artwork with AI generation included, or merchandise produced from AI generated art is prohibited. AI artwork is defined by AEIOU as artwork or artwork elements that are generated by an artificial intelligence program that has been trained on other artists’ work without their permission. AI generation does NOT include tools such as content-aware fill or other software-based features available within commercial drawing programs such as (but not limited to) Photoshop or SAI. This measure is to prevent the sale and/or promotion of any goods or services that profit off of the theft of another artist’s work.
7. NO SMOKING ALLOWED IN THE ARTIST’S ALLEY
   This also includes no vaping.
8. NO HORSEPLAY
   Please don’t be overly loud or cause a disturbance to your neighbors. If you witness an artist causing a disturbance, please report it to the Artist’s Alley staff.
9. ALL DECISIONS BY THE HEAD ARE FINAL
   Decisions made by the Head of Artist’s Alley are final. If you disagree with a ruling made by an Artist Alley Staff that is not the Head, you may bring your grievance to the Head of Artist’s Alley or Dealer’s Den for consideration. The Artist Alley/Dealer’s Den Head reserves the right to revoke artist alley status, registration badge, or evict an artist from Artist Alley for activities that violate this Terms and Conditions document, at any time, for any reason.
10. ABANDONMENT POLICY
    Artists may not leave their table for more than sixty minutes. If a table space is found to be abandoned for more than sixty minutes, the space will be given to an artist on the waiting list. In the event of replacement, any goods will be cleared from the table and must be picked up at the Artist Alley Staff Table.
11. TABLE POLICY
    Artists may make use of “full tables” in the Artist Alley. Artist’s display must not encroach on the space of their neighboring artists, unless there is no artist at the neighboring table and no replacement from the waiting list has come forward to claim the space. No displays or items will be permitted to be shown off or around your table space. Any available backstock must be stored under the table.
12. NO ELECTRICITY
    Artists are not permitted to use the electrical outlets in the Artist’s Alley area.
