Programme rules

Anyone who is the author of the works they submit and holds the rights needed to license them may apply. An Orvelle Club account is required: the application stays linked to that account for the duration of the relationship.

If you are a minor, participation requires the consent of whoever holds parental responsibility. If a work was commissioned by a third party or made collaboratively, you must be able to show that you have the right to license it.

Works must be original. Submitting content protected by someone else’s copyright, trademark, design or model — in whole or in part — without written authorisation you can produce on request is not permitted.

This also covers content generated by automated tools trained on third-party works where the result reproduces recognisable elements of those works. If you used artificial-intelligence tools in your process, declare it when you apply.

• Logos, trademarks and characters owned by others.
• Photographs, illustrations or fonts you do not hold an adequate commercial licence for.
• Content depicting identifiable people without their release.
• Unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory or hateful content.

Every application and every work is examined by a member of the team. We check the technical quality of the file, its fit with the brand’s identity and the absence of obvious third-party rights infringements.

We reply within [N] working days. The outcome always states its reasons and is sent to the email address on your account, including when a work is not accepted. If a work is declined, the message explains why and how to challenge the decision.

Review is carried out by people, not automated systems. We do not use automated tools to decide whether to accept or decline a work.

Accepting a work does not transfer ownership of it. You remain the author and keep your moral rights, which Italian law makes inalienable: your name accompanies every product carrying your work.

Under the agreement you grant Orvelle Club a licence to reproduce the work on its garments and to use its image in communications about the products containing it. The standard licence is non-exclusive: you may keep offering the same work elsewhere, unless exclusivity is agreed in writing for that particular work.

Scope, territory, duration and termination terms are set out in the licence agreement. On termination, garments already produced may be sold while stocks last and royalties keep accruing on those sales.

Every garment sold carrying your work earns you a royalty of [N]% of the garment value, net of VAT and of any discount applied. Shipping, taxes and other charges are outside the basis of calculation.

Royalties earned are visible in your statement, itemised by the orders that generated them. If an order is refunded or cancelled, the corresponding royalty is reversed with its own entry: the balance always reconciles.

Once you pass the [amount] minimum threshold you can submit a payout request. Before the first payment we will ask for the documents needed to pay you in line with Italian tax obligations. Amounts are paid net of the withholdings required by law; the applicable rates depend on your tax residence and your regime.

The Explorer, Pro Creator and Elite Creator tiers are based on published, checkable numeric criteria. Moving up is automatic once the threshold is met; the Elite tier additionally requires an invitation from the team.

Your tier affects visibility in the catalogue, priority in review and access to dedicated campaigns and collaborations. It does not affect the royalty percentage, which is the same for every creator.

Anyone who believes a published work infringes a right or the law can report it to us at [reports address]. We confirm receipt of every report and communicate the outcome to whoever sent it.

Where we find an infringement, we remove the work from the catalogue and inform its author, stating the reason and the avenues for challenging the decision. Repeated infringement may end the relationship with the creator.

The data you provide when applying is processed to assess your participation in the programme and, if you are accepted, to manage the relationship. The detail is in the Privacy Policy.

Data needed to document payments and withholdings is retained for the periods required by accounting and tax law, including after an account is closed: that is a legal obligation which prevails over an erasure request, limited to that data.
