|A| As an artist, I retain full copyright to all images created. You as the client automatically get fixed usage rights, see 05|E|. Extended rights of use we define together in an official agreement, which requires the signature of both parties. Please contact me for this.
​
|B| I, as the artist, reserve the right to publish commissioned images in my galleries, reproduce the images for online sale or at events, or otherwise use the image commercially in e.g. prints, digital art collections, books, etc.
​
|C| The rights to the original figures remain with their owners, provided they are trademarked. They usually are not, so please let me know before you order if your character is trademarked.
​
|D| I, the artist, will never claim copyright for characters that I did not design alone and will credit the original creators when possible. Please clearly state the name to be given before the order if you explicitly wish to be named.

​
-
to publish commissioned images for personal and non-commercial purposes, as long as you clearly mention my name (e.g. @Calimdor).

the right to reprint images in limited numbers for personal use. This includes printing for display at home e.g. as a poster or canvas, printing for use as a badge or a manageable number of stickers (less than 6).

The right over cropping and resizing artwork for personal use (e.g. icons, avatars, banners). Please use my signature for the cropped artwork, if no longer visible.
​
|F| The client does not have the right

give permission to printers or manufacturers to mass produce ( 5+) physical reproductions of the artwork.
