Terms & Conditions for Art Commissions
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COMMISSIONS
Last updated January 31, 2024
AGREEMENT TO OUR LEGAL TERMS
The terms and conditions for the commission work performed by ("LuisaDraws") for ("Client") are outlined in these terms. They cover every item and service bought from ("LuisaDraws"). By hiring my services, you accept these terms.
LuisaDraws performs all work with the understanding that the client has accepted the agreements.
LuisaDraws retains copyright on all design work, including text, illustrations, photographs, and graphics, until specifically released in writing and after all expenses have been settled.
PAYMENT
- Working on a sketch cannot begin unless the invoice is fully paid through PayPal or another specified payment method, at which point LuisaDraws will not begin.
- Online payment options include credit card, PayPal, Stripe, Revolut, bank transfer, and Wise.
- A written estimate or quotation from LuisaDraws will be sent to the client, along with a link to the terms. Before any work can begin, LuisaDraws must receive acknowledgment and acceptance of the written estimate or quotation.
- The charges for design services performed by LuisaDraws will be specified in the written estimate or quotation provided to the customer. The full amount of the quoted charge becomes immediately due when the client accepts the estimate or quotation, signifying acceptance of the Terms, unless otherwise agreed.
ARTWORK CHANGES
- LuisaDraws has the right to decline any change request. For major changes, LuisaDraws may charge an extra cost.
- LuisaDraws will provide the first two minor modifications (a little detail or color adjustment) at no additional cost.
- LuisaDraws may charge an additional fee for alterations made after the second.
- The Client may not delete LuisaDraws' signature from the delivered artwork or project files.
- You may request unlimited changes, but I reserve the right to seek additional funds or decline an adjustment request.
- By consenting in working with me, you agree that no other work may be duplicated, developed from, or utilized as designs for any work created by an artist other than myself. This includes sketching, lineart, and any other artwork technique, as well as use on any (AI) generative artificial intelligence technologies.
ORDER PROCESS
- Any indication of the length of a design job provided by LuisaDraws should be considered an estimate by the customer.
- LuisaDraws cannot be held accountable for any project overruns, regardless of the cause.
- The estimated project duration should be taken from the date that LuisaDraws receives cleared funds for the initial payment, or the date verified in writing by LuisaDraws.
- Once LuisaDraws receives the client's approval of the finished design, it will consider the ordered services completed.
- Should this agreement be canceled, LuisaDraws will keep ownership, copyrights, and the original artwork.
- The Client forfeits all ownership rights to the artwork and this Agreement is canceled if the Client files a chargeback against LuisaDraws at any time. You shall forfeit any rights previously specified with regard to your order, and I will be free to make any more money off of it. I'll turn down the chargeback and send PayPal our exchanges discussing the order as proof that I finished the job for you. You won't be allowed to place another order from me in the future.
- Both parties acknowledge that they will not knowingly attempt to bypass the requirements of this agreement and that they will abide by them.
REFUNDS
As the client, you will only be eligible to claim a refund for your purchase if one of the following occurs:
- If LuisaDraws does not hold the estimated delivery date, the client can request a refund.
- The client is no longer qualified for a refund after they have received a sketch of the idea. Refunds in part can be discussed.
- If LuisaDraws decides to cancel an order, the Client must receive a full refund if they have already paid.
- You can get a complete refund if you cancel your order before I begin working on it.
- Do not file a PayPal chargeback if you paid using PayPal and are receiving a refund. I'll return the funds to your account.
- If any Refund Fees apply through PayPal, the Client is responsible for paying them.
