4.3 If the buyer/client requires a variant of the first design, or one or more new designs, these additional activities will be charged separately.

4.4 Designs – in whatever form – remain the intellectual property of the artist, with the exclusive right to publication and exploitation. Designs also remain her material property, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

5 CANCELLATION
5.1 If a purchase/commission contract is cancelled by the buyer/client, while the artist has already reached an advanced stage of preparation, executed work and/or commitments with third parties, the buyer/client will be obliged to pay the full sum of all costs involved in the creation of the artwork, to the artist.

5.2 If the circumstances under which the purchase/commission agreement was concluded change so that the artist, for artistic or material reasons, no longer sees any possibilities to properly execute the originally intended assignment, she is entitled to terminate and cancel that agreement. However, with retention of her right to charge the costs incurred for the work performed up until that time, without prejudice to her right to enter a new commission agreement in accordance with those changed circumstances.

5.3 If the artist is unable to meet its obligations under the purchase/commission agreement due to force majeure, these obligations will be postponed until the situation of force majeure has ended. After this the normal ‘commissioned work’ terms apply.

5.4 Force majeure means any illness of the artist as well as weather conditions that reasonably prevent the artist from continuing to work on the artwork and that lead to delays, as well as delays at suppliers and/or other third parties involved in the execution of the agreement and delay due to any unsuitability of the material.

6 DELIVERY, TRANSPORT AND WARRANTY
6.1 The artist is obliged to deliver the work commissioned to her on the agreed time as stated in the order confirmation.

7 PAYMENTS
7.1 After signing the order confirmation, the buyer/customer must ensure that 25% of the agreed price (including VAT) is received as down payment within fourteen days of the invoice date on the artist’s account. After receiving this down payment, the artist will commence with the artwork. The next 25% of the agreed price (including VAT) is billed to the buyer/client halfway through the process of creating the artwork. This must also be received on the artist’s account within fourteen days of the invoice date. The remaining 50% of the agreed price (including VAT) will be invoiced after completion of the artwork.

7.2 The artist remains the owner of the artwork until the agreed price according to the quotation has been paid in full.

7.3 If the payment term is exceeded, the buyer/client will owe statutory interest until the date of the full payment. In that case, the artist is entitled to suspend her work on the assignment until the buyer/client has paid the amount due, plus the interest. Payments are deemed to be paid when the artist has received the amount on her account.

7.4 All costs, both judicial and extrajudicial, arising from the collection of the amount owed by the buyer/client and not paid on time are at the expense of the buyer/client.

7.5 The material ownership of the artwork does not give the owner the right to multiply or reproduce or any other form of exploitation.
