SERVICES

The client assumes full and entire responsibility for the choices made in terms of textual and iconographic contents appearing in the realization delivered by the artist, as well as for the exploitation which will be made of it, and in particular the conformity of the latter with the current regulations.
They also assure to be the owner of the rights necessary to the exploitation of all the creative textual and iconographic elements supplied by them to Laura L. GIRAUD within the framework of her mission, and guarantees the artist against any third party complaint related to the violation of the rights of these elements.
PRICES & PAYMENTS
-
PRICES
In order to set the best pricing possible, the client is recommended to describe exhaustively the elements they wish to be featured. Any details, added past estimation and/or the service payment, may involve additional costs.
If you wish to use the illustration for commercial uses, you'll need to state it upfront.
The artist's hourly rate is 12.5€/h
-
PAYMENTS
Payments are done with Paypal or Bank Transfer.
At least a part of the total pricing is expected to be paid upfront. Depending on which services you asked for. In cases where the services are performed for several customers, the payment will have to be grouped in a single debtor. The intellectual property fees will be adapted accordingly.
-
PAYMENT FEES
These only become effective when the services were started or done:
Unless an additional payment period is agreed upon by both parties, payment shall be made no later than the 30th day following the invoice date (C. Com. art L. 441-6, al.2 modified by the law of May 15, 2001)
This includes if you chose to make multiple payments: then payment shall be made no later than the 30th day following concerned due date payment.
Any delay in payment may result in late payment penalties: a fixed penalty of 40€ (C. Com. art. D441-5) to which 10% of the total invoice per month of delay is added (Fight against late payment / Article 53 of the NRE Law).
REVISIONS
While the artist is working, the client will receive work in progress on a regular basis. Those WIPs are shared so the client can make possible feedbacks and rectifications.
There's nothing wrong to make these feedbacks, the point is for the client to like the final delivery. Please do it.
Significant edits, such as: composition, posing, clothing... Should be reported before the lineart (comics) or coloration (illustrations) are started . Afterwards, only tiny aspects may be corrected, besides wrong charadesign.
Please note that the artist may adapt the client's character to their style. In which case this does not count as a "wrong charadesign".
Too many edits or major edits will result in additional cost. (see hourly rate) As it's hardly quantifiable equitably, the artist chose not to give a "max number of edits".
(Note from the artist : "I find it hardly fair to count a color revision the same way as a posing revision, as an exemple.")
DEADLINES AND DELIVERY
-
DEADLINES
Each service mentions its delivery time.
Any delay by the customer in the validation of the various WIPs can involve, at least, a delay of an equivalent duration to the delivery.
The artist cannot be held accountable for this difference from the initial delivery date in this case.
If the delivery takes over a month the order is considered as "delayed". If the client has been warned about the delay and expressed an agreement to pursue the service, the process stays the same as the artist will provide a new delivery date.
Otherwise, a new agreement can be made to the client's demand to accommodate both parts.
-
DELIVERY
Once the artist has finished their services, they will deliver to the client what follows :
- A "HD" file (png, TIFF...) for the client's personal use.

- (Optional) Few WIP samples and/or a short timelapse showing the artist's process. Those are not to be shared online but by the artist.
Once delivered, there can't be additional revisions. Unless additionnal fees.
Software files are not to be delivered.

In case of postal lost they should fill a complaint to the concerned postal service. The artist will accompany the client in the process. An insurance on the shipment is available upon request for an additional cost.
Without answer from the client, within a two month period after the last WIP was sent, the order will be considered as finished, out of specific given context.
