TERMS OF CUSTOM PAINTING SERVICE

The Custom Painting is the form of service provided by the Artist to the Client per the Commission Agreement:

 

COMMISSION AGREEMENT

​

Please note the following details:

 

The discussion and agreement will be documented via email, in which both the artist and the client will agree to the subject and type of commission or artwork to be produced. This includes the commission price, the start date for the work, the commission deadline, early termination circumstances, rush fees, transfer of copyright, and whether the commission will be displayed in the artist's portfolio.
