• 2.1 Losget Academy respects the creative freedom of each Master Member. However, any work submitted for publication, exhibition, or sale under the Art Ark 500 Program or any activity organized by Losget Academy must comply with the following content restrictions:
  (a) No explicit advocacy of anti-human or inhumane ideologies;

• (b) Where, due to the actions or fault of the Master Member, a confirmed transaction cannot be executed as agreed, resulting in significant damage to the reputation or credibility of Losget Academy.

• 6. Representation by Agents under Existing Contracts
