Corrie Church’s Terms and Conditions for Commissioned Art
​
Please read these terms and conditions prior to commissioning artwork from Corrie Church, otherwise referred to as the Artist for the remainder of this document. Full or partial payment made towards a commission declares that you, the Client, have read, understood and agreed to these terms and conditions.
THE CLIENT: Anyone who makes a purchase through the Artist’s website or directly from the Artist.
COMMISSION: Service and product purchased by the Client from the Artist.
ACCEPTANCE
The Client does not need to provide a signature of any kind for these terms and conditions to apply. If the Client commissions the Artist, or makes a purchase of any kind through this website, they signify that they have fully read and agreed to these terms and conditions.
PAYMENT TOWARDS COMMISSIONED ARTWORK
The Client may choose to pay for any commissioned artwork in full or in installments. The first payment made reserves a spot on the Artist’s schedule. The Artist will not start on the artwork until a 50% deposit is met (note that this will affect the timeline of completion and the Client agrees to allow for the Artist to adjust the estimated date of completion accordingly). Should the Client choose to pay in installments, the Client agrees to complete each payment by the date(s) agreed upon between the Artist and Client. If the Client does not make payment by the agreed upon date(s), the Artist reserves the right to adjust or terminate the commission without refund. No artwork is to be shipped until all outstanding balances are paid by the Client.
PAYMENT METHODS
The Client may pay for commissioned works via: Credit/Debit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The Client may contact the Artist to request payment be made via mailed check, cash, or money order.
REFUNDS
The Client is entitled to a full refund of their payment toward a commission up to 7 days after making their payment (minus processing fees), no questions asked. If the Client chooses to pay in installments, refunds can only be granted within 7 days of the first payment made. The Client must email the Artist within these 7 days to request a refund (corriechurch@gmail.com). After 7 days from making a payment, refunds cannot be made unless the Artist needs to cancel the commission.
​
RETURNS AND EXCHANGES
Due to the personalized nature of each commissioned artwork, returns and exchanges cannot be made.
COMMISSION DENIAL
The Artist reserves the right to deny any commissioned artworks. If the Client has already paid for the commission, the Artist is responsible for refunding the Client the amount they have paid.
TERMINATION OF COMMISSIONED ARTWORK
Both the Client and the Artist reserve the right to terminate a commission at any time.
If the Client chooses to terminate: The Artist is not required to refund any payments already made towards the commission, unless the Client wishes to terminate the commission within 7 days of making their first payment. The Client is not responsible for any more payments at the time of termination. If the commissioned artwork has already been started at the time of termination, the Artist reserves the right to complete the commission for the purpose of reselling, or any other use.
If the Artist chooses to terminate: The Artist is required to refund any payments made towards the commission, regardless of the status of the commission.
​
ADJUSTMENTS
Upon completion, the Artist will supply images of the completed work for the Customer’s approval. If the Customer has not paid in full then the images will be watermarked. These watermarks will not obstruct the view of the artwork so much that the Customer will not be able to determine approval.
While the Artist does everything in their power to ensure satisfaction with each commissioned artwork, sometimes adjustments are needed. Adjustments are classified as Minor and Major adjustments. Only the Artist can classify an adjustment.
Minor Adjustments: Most adjustments completed by the Artist are classified as Minor. Minor adjustments are completed at no extra charge. An adjustment is classified by the Artist as Minor if: the Client is able to point out needed changes to the commissioned artwork that are based on the original photographs provided to the Artist at the time of purchase, or the Artist missed a detail in the commissioned artwork that was specifically requested by the Client.
Major Adjustment: If the requested changes deviate from the original reference photographs provided to the Artist by the Client, or otherwise contradict information provided to the Artist by the Client at the time of purchase, a Major adjustment can be made for an extra cost. Any special requests for the commissioned artwork must be made at the time of purchase to avoid the possibility of a Major adjustment. No Major adjustment will be made until a price is agreed upon by the Client and the Artist. Depending on number of adjustments, and if they are major adjustments, the deadline for competed work may need to be redetermined.
PRICING
Commission pricing is subject to change at any time. If the Client is paying for their commissioned artwork in installments when a price change takes effect, the Client’s remaining balance WILL NOT be affected by the price change. If there is a sale price at the time of agreement, the sale price will apply to the total final cost even if the Client chooses to pay in installments.
TIMELINE OF COMPLETION
The Artist provides an estimated date of completion to each Client who commissions artwork from them. Estimated dates of completion will be communicated to the Client within 48 hours of their purchase. The Client acknowledges that the date range they receive for the completion of their commission is an estimation and not a guarantee. The actual date of completion may vary by any number of days from the original estimation. The Artist is responsible for communicating any delays to the Client if their commissioned artwork is not complete by the original estimation. Agreement must be made between the Artist and the Client if the Client wants the commissioned piece done within a certain time, e.g. for a birthday, or holiday. The Artist will inform the Client if this deadline is possible.
SHIPPING
The Artist ships commissioned artwork through USPS unless otherwise specified. If the Client lives locally, the Artist will arrange a date for pick up/drop off of completed work. Shipping costs will be included in the cost estimate. The Artist is not responsible for shipping delays once the commissioned artwork is in possession of the shipping carrier. The Artist can ship internationally upon request. The Artist will arrange for shipping insurance and tracking as they see fit, or at the request of the Client.
POSTAL DAMAGE AND LOSS
The Artist takes great care in packaging each commissioned artwork to avoid damage during transit. Any damage that takes place during shipping is not the responsibility of the Artist, however the Artist will work with the Client to resolve the situation to the best of their ability. The Client may be eligible to receive a full refund for their commissioned artwork if it is damaged when received. To be eligible, the Client must take photographs of the condition of the package and artwork when they received it, and send the commissioned artwork back to the Artist in the condition it was received. The Client is responsible for shipping fees to return the commission. The Artist will then open a case with the shipping provider to receive a refund for the cost of the commission. If a refund is granted to the Artist, the Artist agrees to give the Client the full refund. There has been no occurrence of shipping damage at the time of updating this document.
USE OF ARTWORK
The copyright of the commissioned artwork remains with the Artist under all circumstances. The Artist has the right to use the image of the commissioned artwork in any circumstance, including advertising and prints for sale. The Client may only use the commissioned artwork for display or personal enjoyment. The Client may post images of their commissioned artwork to social media only if credit is given to the Artist. The Client may not make prints or copies of their commissioned artwork without written permission from the Artist. The Client may not profit from their commissioned artwork in any way.
DIGITAL IMAGES
Images found on the Artist’s website or sent electronically in any way to the Client may not accurately depict the commissioned artwork due to individual screen and color differences. The Artist makes every effort to display each commissioned artwork as accurately as they can.
