Copyright: The Designer holds the common-law copyright to all works commissioned by the Client that are created by the Designer. This includes all reproduction rights and the right to claim statutory copyright. No work may be reproduced by the Client without the prior written consent of the Designer.

Payment Details: Payment is only accepted through Bank Transfer or PayPal. Please be aware that a nonrefundable deposit of 50% of the agreed selling price is required before the Designer will start the project. The remaining amount is due upon completion and approval of the work, before the delivery of the artwork.

Timeframe: The Designer and the Client will work together to come to an agreement on a suitable timeframe.

Right of Refusal: It is the intention of this agreement that the Designer create artwork(s) for the Client that the Client will purchase. However, if after the work is completed, the Client does not wish to purchase any or all of the work, the Client may refuse, on an individualised basis, each created design. In that case, the Designer will retain the refused design and the nonrefundable deposit, free of any claims or interests of the Client and the Client will owe no additional fees to the Designer. A refusal will not affect the purchase price of other created artworks in this project.
