Terms and Conditions of Use

The following Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”) is an agreement between registered individuals on behalf of their affiliated institutions (“you/your/User”) and the ArtPride New Jersey Foundation (“we/us/our/ArtPride”) that outlines the guidelines and responsibilities for using ArtPrideNJ.org and JerseyArts.com (collectively, “Websites”).  

By submitting content to the ArtPrideNJ.org “myArtPride” member portal, you agree to these Terms, which apply to all users of our Websites, mobile applications, and social media channels, as well as services available via telephone, email, postal mail, and any transactions that may take place in person. Submission of content serves as evidence that you are empowered by your affiliated organization to act on its behalf in this matter.  

We reserve the right to change, modify, add, or remove ("Change") provisions of these Terms and will endeavor to notify you of any such Change by email. Any such Change shall be effective immediately. Please check back occasionally to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of our Terms.   

Description of Services 

ArtPride does business under the name “Discover Jersey Arts” (DJA) and operates JerseyArts.com to promote cultural events and news to the public.  

You can submit ticket discounts to cultural events through the myArtPride member portal, which will appear on JerseyArts.com within 1 hour of submission and remain available to the public unless the event is marked “Cancelled” by you.   

You can submit event content related to ongoing DJA seasonal messaging campaigns to appear on JerseyArts.com. However, these events are curated; therefore, submission does not guarantee inclusion.   

You can pitch a story for us to cover and publish on our Websites, social media channels, YouTube channels, and podcast platforms. Submission of a story idea does not guarantee coverage.   

You can view/edit the “Profile” of your affiliated organization. This profile will be available to the public through the JerseyArts.com Directory.   

You can view/manage other affiliated contacts with your organization based on your User Role. We will email all Users related to their relationship with ArtPride unless they choose to opt out of those communications. Opting out of email does not relieve Users of their responsibilities outlined in these Terms.   

DJA services are intended to promote events and organizations in New Jersey. Events that take place outside of New Jersey are not eligible for inclusion. We reserve the right to review and accept or reject content at our sole discretion. We are under no obligation to post any submission or to provide a rationale for rejection.   

Eligibility 

ArtPride makes DJA services available to its member organizations, direct grantees of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and member organizations of the New Jersey Theatre Alliance. These services are available to both nonprofit and commercial cultural organizations whose primary business address is registered in New Jersey.   

These services are not intended for our Business or Corporate Partners or for individuals who make donations to ArtPride.   

We reserve the right to offer any of our fee-based services at lower rates to ArtPride member organizations and/or groups with a 501c3 nonprofit status.
