Terms & Conditions

BOOKINGS

Bookings over 4 hours must include a meal break.

25% deposit required to book. Bookings are not secured until deposit received. Deposit is non-refundable.

PAYMENT

The client shall pay all invoices within 30 days of receipt. Interest at a rate of 2% per month is payable on any balance unpaid after 30 days
of the date of invoice.

CANCELLATION

If a commission is cancelled by the Client, the Client shall pay a cancellation fee as follows:
(i) 25% of the agreed fee if the commission is cancelled more than 3 months before the event;

(ii) 35% of the agreed fee if the commission is cancelled less than a month before the event:

(iii) 50% of the agreed fee if the commission is cancelled on the day.

If the illustrator has to cancel a booking due to unforeseen circumstances, illness etc the deposit is non-refundable. This is very unlikely to happen and I will not expect any further payments if it does.

DELIVERY

The Illustrator shall use her best endeavours to deliver the artwork to the Client by the agreed date and shall notify the Client of any anticipated delay at the first opportunity, in which case the Client may (unless the delay is the fault of the Client) make time of the essence, and cancel the commission without payment in the event of the Illustrator falling to meet the agreed date.

THE ILLUSTRATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LATE DELIVERY OF THE ARTWORK.

The Client shall make an immediate objection upon delivery if the artwork
is not in accordance with the brief. If such objection is not received by the Illustrator within 21 days of delivery of artwork it shall be conclusively presumed that the artwork is acceptable.

APPROVAL/REJECTION

Should the artwork fail to satisfy, the Client may reject the artwork upon payment of a rejection fee as follows:

(i) 25% of the agreed fee if the artwork is rejected at the rough stage:

(ii) 50% of the agreed fee if the artwork is rejected on delivery.

In the event of rejection, ownership of all rights granted under this Agreement shall revert to the Illustrator unless the artwork is based on the Client’s visual or otherwise agreed.

CHANGES

If the Client changes the brief and requires subsequent changes, additions or variations, the Illustrator may require additional consideration for such work. The Illustrator may refuse to carry out changes, additions or variations which substantially change the nature of the commission.

WARRANTIES

Except where artwork is based on reference material or visuals supplied by the Client or where otherwise agreed, the Illustrator warrants that the artwork is original and does not infringe any existing copyright and further warrants that she/he has not used the artwork elsewhere.

The Client warrants that any necessary permissions have been obtained for the agreed use of reference material or visuals supplied by the Client or
its customer and shall indemnify the Illustrator against any and all claims and expenses including reasonable legal fees arising from the Illustrator’s use of any materials provided by the Client or its customer.

The Illustrator’s original artwork shall not be intentionally destroyed, damaged, altered, retouched, modified or changed in any way whatsoever without the consent of the Illustrator.
