Please read the following terms and conditions carefully as they govern your use of this website. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this website.
1. Introduction
wendy.network is a new platform designed to give artists, curators and others involved in the arts the chance to connect with each other, to exchange ideas, share written and visual contents, and to display their relevant works through our website. We define ourselves as a social media platform dedicated to those who love art.
From the moment you access, register and use our website, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions, to our privacy policy and to any other terms to be referenced in this document, which may be supplemental and may become available further on, subject to notice by wendy.network.
In addition, whenever you contact other profiles, create an article or opportunity, message or receive a message from any profile, post or share content, or even follow or pick your favourite categories or hashtags or identify yourself and your interests, you accept our rules and management surrounding your use of the site.
If you do not agree to a part of these terms of use, please do not click in any of the following expressions: “Join now”, “Log In”.
This website is operated by Michael Mastrototaro and MACHFELD international arts and culture society, trading as wendy.network, and these terms and conditions apply to every user.
2. Using wendy.network
This paragraph sets out who can use our website and provides you a few guidelines to help you start.
You must be 16 years or older in order to use and/or apply to the website yourself. However, with the consent of a parent or guardian, you may be 13 years or older. In such a case, it is our requirement that the parent or guardian applies on behalf of you and sends us a message to join@wendy.network to inform us that the person who will use the website is a minor who is at least 13 years old.
Although our social media platform is dedicated to artists and curators, and they are our main target public, we would love to have all the art lovers with us. The more people we are, the more quality we will be able to provide through our platform.
Therefore, no matter whether you are an artist, art curator, art collector, art investor, a journalist whose work is about art, or an art lover, you may register and start using our website and our profile tools.
Once you apply and conclude your registration at wendy.network, you will have a password. This password should be kept confidential, and you shall not share this access with anyone else. The password will be associated with the email address that was used to apply to the platform, so in the event you do not remember it, you can easily recover or change it.
3. Your content
You agree and accept that everything you post or share, together with all of your personal details and your activity online makes up your content on wendy.network.
If you are an artist looking to apply to our website, you will need to register with your name and surname and your city and country. Otherwise, if you are not an artist you will need to provide us with your name, role and your location. In both cases, you have the opportunity to add a biography to your profile consisting of pictures and texts.
By default, the profile page of registered users is visible by anyone who has the link of the page even if that person does not have an account at wendy.network and that profile page is indexed on Google.

We will include pricate account settings for the profiles in the future.
