Terms of Agreement
By commissioning a drawing, sketch, or painting by Beryl Poskey through capturinglifethroughart.com you are hereby agreeing to the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement.
THE ORDER PROCESS
Submit Order and Payment The commissioned artwork will be produced by Beryl Poskey, and will be the artist’s interpretation of the subject(s) based on the pictures and information provided by the customer.
Submit Photo References The customer will supply the photo(s) of the subject(s) that will be used for the artwork along with as much detail as possible about what they want their portrait to look like.
Confirm Order and Approve Painting The artist (Beryl Poskey) will give a completion deadline and create a computer generated image or rough sketch of the planned composition of the artwork for the customer to review, suggest changes and approve. All design changes should be made at this point. When the artwork is completed, the artist will send a digital proof of the final piece for the customer’s approval. Reasonable alterations can be made at this point.
Final Payment and Delivery/Pickup Once the customer’s final payment is received and verified, the artwork will be insured and shipped. UPS Ground is used for shipping. Additional fees may be required if the customer chooses to use another shipping method. Without limitation, Capturing Life Through Art holds the full and complete copyright and reproduction right to copy, exhibit, publish, display, or distribute copies of the artwork. The customer will not use the image of the artwork except for individual use without written permission from Capturing Life Through Art.
PAYMENT
Payments can be made online with a credit card via Pay Pal. If the balance of the amount owed is not paid upon completion, the artwork will not be shipped and the payment will be retained by the artist to help recover costs incurred for supplies and time spent by the artist.
CUSTOMER SUPPLIED PHOTOS
It is the responsibility of the customer to supply any photographs or other materials that will be used as references for the artwork. These reference materials can be sent to the artist by sending them as attachments to an email. The customer authorizes Capturing Life Through Art all rights to the photography sent.
CHANGES
Although it is possible to make changes to a piece at any time, and some changes are a normal part of the process, if a customer initiated change involves duplicating the efforts of the artist after the customer has already approved the artist to advance, there will be additional charges. These types of changes could include layout, size, style, material, design and any other major changes.
REFUND POLICY
If at any time during the first phase of the drawing and painting process (creating a digital image or sketch of the plan to be approved), you decide, for any reason, that you are not happy with the results you are getting, you may request a full refund of all money paid, no questions asked. If at any time later in the drawing or painting process you decide that you are not happy with the results you are getting you may still request a refund, but some funds will be deducted from the refund to help recover costs incurred and time lost by the artist. Once you receive your finished artwork, it is not returnable and you will not receive a refund of payment.
COMPLETION TIME LINE
The time line for the completion of a drawing or painting can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the size and number of subjects in the portrait, how many changes are requested by the customer, time spent waiting for approvals and payments from customers, etc. Due to these factors, the artist cannot be held to any specific time line. If however, there are no delays on the customers end, such as waiting for reference materials, payments, or approvals, or excessive changes, the artwork should be shipped by the agreed upon date.
