PRICING
GUIDE
The price for each job is arrived at by negotiation with
the client. I normally grant a one year exclusive licence
to reproduce the illustration in a specific form, for a
specific use within a given territory. The size of print
run also affects cost and also whether the pictures will be
color or monochrome. Extended licences up to 10 years will
be considered when appropriate. Copyright in the work is
not usually assigned; if the client insists on owning
copyright then the basic price for the job must be
multiplied by a factor of three. Reasonable expenses e.g.
the cost of couriers etc., may also be charged to the
client.
STANDARD TERMS
& CONDITIONS
A written purchase order is required before work can
commence. First-time foreign clients must pay a 50%
deposit. A written acknowledgement of your order will be
e-mailed or faxed, detailing the terms of the licence and
also stating the following:
1 The artist retains ownership of full copyright in the
work and is free to sell further rights for its use unless
otherwise agreed. If the client takes up additional rights,
permission must first be obtained and a fee will be agreed
at that time. If the client buys the original artwork the
sale of further rights by the artist is not affected.
2 Full payment will be made within 30 days of the date of
the invoice. Rights as agreed are not granted until payment
in full has been received by the artist.
3 The artist can only keep to the agreed delivery dates if
any necessary reference material is supplied and the rough
is passed without delay. The client is responsible for the
clearance of copyright of any reference material supplied
for use by the artist.
4 If the work is cancelled a proportion of the fee will be
payable according to the amount of work done. If the work
is rejected at rough stage the client will pay one third of
the agreed artwork fee plus agreed expenses. If the
finished artwork is rejected the fee is negotiable but it
will not be less than half the agreed artwork fee, and if
the artist has followed the brief correctly and the work is
consistent with that originally shown to the client then
the full fee is payable. If a rough rejection fee is paid
the client has no right to use any part of the work and the
rough and/or original artwork remains the property of the
artist.
5 The artist asserts his moral right of paternity and
integrity, therefore client does not have the right to make
any alteration to the work unless agreed with the artist.
6 The artist has the right to use the work for
self-promotion.
7 The client will supply at least 3 proofs or printed
copies of the work where possible.
8 All future dealings between the client and the artist
shall be on these standard terms and conditions unless
otherwise agreed. For UK customers: These terms and
conditions are governed by the law of England and Wales and
may not be varied except by agreement in writing. The
parties hereto submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the English Courts.
