Terms & Conditions

Mwydro’s Terms and Conditions

1. Notice Period: My notice period, for both myself and the client is, 21 days.

2. Payment Terms: The below payment terms are based on my current 14 day payment period.

Late payments – A reminder for any unpaid invoices will be sent on the 12th day of the invoice date. Invoices unpaid after 30 days may incur late fee charge.

I currently pay any outstanding invoices within 14 days of the invoice date. However, if you’d like me to amend this date to a more suitable time, please do let me know and I’ll be happy to discuss.

3. Availability Alongside running Mwydro I also work part-time, so will be unavailable between 8.00 – 4.30pm on all weekdays other than Wednesday.

4. Ownership of Copyright/ Copyright Licence The copyright in artwork commissioned by the Client shall be retained by the Illustrator, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Client or the Client’s customer (where the Client is acting as an intermediary) is granted a licence to reproduce the artwork solely for the purposes set out on the face of this acceptance of commission.

During the currency of the licence the Illustrator shall notify the Client of any proposed exploitation of the artwork for purposes other than self-promotion and the Client shall have the right to make reasonable objections if such exploitation is likely to be detrimental to the business of the Client or the Client’s customer.

Where use of the artwork is restricted, the Illustrator will nominally grant the Client or the Client’s customer a licence for use for other purposes subject to payment of a further fee in line with current licensing rates to be mutually agreed between the Illustrator and Client.

The licence hereby granted to use the artwork is contingent upon the Illustrator having received payment in full of all monies due to her/him and no reproduction or publication rights are granted unless and until all sums due under this Agreement have been paid.

The licence hereby granted is personal to the Client or the Client’s customer (where the Client is acting as an intermediary) and the rights may not be assigned or sub-licensed to third parties without the Illustrator’s consent.

5. Cancellation

If a commission is cancelled by the Client, the Client shall pay a cancellation fee as follows:

(i) 25% of the agreed fee if the commission is cancelled before delivery of roughs;

(ii) 33% of the agreed fee if the commission is cancelled at the rough stage:

(iii) 100% of the agreed fee if the commission is cancelled on the delivery of artwork;

(iv) pro rata if the commission is cancelled at an intermediate stage.

In the event of cancellation, ownership of all rights granted under this Agreement shall revert to the Illustrator unless the artwork is based on the Client’s visual or otherwise agreed.

6. Changes

If the Client changes the brief and requires subsequent changes, additions or variations, the Illustrator may require additional consideration for such work. The Illustrator may refuse to carry out changes, additions or variations which substantially change the nature of the commission.

7. Warranties

Except where artwork is based on reference material or visuals supplied by the Client or where otherwise agreed, the Illustrator warrants that the artwork is original and does not infringe any existing copyright and further warrants that she/he has not used the artwork elsewhere.

The Client warrants that any necessary permissions have been obtained for the agreed use of reference material or visuals supplied by the Client or its customer and shall indemnify the Illustrator against any and all claims and expenses including reasonable legal fees arising from the Illustrator’s use of any materials provided by the Client or its customer.
