VENDOR COMMISSIONS & PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS

Embrace Creatives offers promotional discounts as an incentive for new and returning collectors to explore the constantly changing selection of artwork on our site. We find that offering promotions allows artists to gain the attention of collectors previously unaware of their work and a better chance to make future sales. 

The discount codes currently given to official collectors with an active EC account is 10% off their initial purchase. 

Embrace Creatives will receive a 40% commission on the final sale price for each and every sale made through our website or private projects. For a limited time, if a promotional discount code or trade discount is offered, the discount will be deducted from Embrace Creatives and not the artist. We reserve the right to alter this decision at any time and without informing our sellers.

Embrace Creatives reserves the right to promote and market Original Works of Art and/or Digital Works through the use of sales and/or discounts.
