Copyrights

All original characters and artwork created by A. L. Wagner a.k.a. "Chenneoue" located on Weebly, ArtSpots, Deviant, or any other site approved and in use by myself is © according to the date. Although I do not hold © over any character created by another in commissioned, gift, fan, or other art I create, I do hold © over the image.

• The basic copyright rules apply to my art. Do not redistribute, repost, alter, copy, sell, edit, redraw, trace and/or claim as your own.
• Reposting and redistributing is only allowed when given permission from myself or when proper accreditation is given to the artist, which should be approved prior to doing so.
• No altering of art is allowed at all (unless otherwise stated). 
• Referencing is allowed when credit is given.
• Selling or reselling of my art is only allowed when you own the original artwork or print. Any prints not made by myself, or by approved means (such as through ArtSpots or Deviant), is not permitted to be sold or resold. 
• Personal use exception: Art maybe used as personal desktops or basic prints for you to enjoy as long as they remain unaltered (do not removed watermarks). These images cannot be reposted, sent to others, or sold as they infringe copyright. 
  

"Image" refers to the actual picture, scan, or print of the art piece. So, by holding © over the image, I hold the right to redistribute, edit, create, and sell original and/or copies of that artwork as I see fit. This includes all forms of artwork I create, thought some exceptions may apply for certain types of “works for hire.”

Term of Use

Because all images are ©, images are not to be moved without my expressed permission, as this could place the image in jeopardy of being stolen or misused. In any case the image might be moved or printed, the © must remain whole on the image, and credit given to the artist. In any case you use my art as reference, you must mention that you have done so. If I am unaware of this, I might consider it art theft if proper accreditation is not given.

If I have created an art piece for another, you (being the person I created the artwork for) may repost the image on a site for personal use (ie: Livejournal icon, forum avatar, desktop image), if credit is given to me. This does not include other online galleries or other areas that may confuse a viewer to who the creating artist is and who has permission to use it (ie: public folder on Photobucket). If you own the original piece or approved print, you can resell it if you wish. But once again, all credit must be given to myself as the artist.

Site Content

All the above copyright and TOU includes the content of this site; background image, graphics/image, and page header image. This does not include the CSS template (layout) used for this site. The template is from Weebly.com and I cannot give permission to use it in any other way. Please see Weebly.com site for Terms of Use for their templates.

Unclaimed Art or Auctions

• "Unclaimed" refers to if an art work, auction, purchase that has not be claimed, paid for, or the purchaser has not contacted myself. Basically the sale or commission has fallen through.
• "Purchaser" refers to the person(s) commissioning, buying, purchasing, and placing a bid on the item(s).
• "Seller" refers to me, the one selling the art work, auction, or item of desire.

After a purchase has been made through an auction, e-mail, or by any means available of purchase, contact must be made about payment to myself through e-mail, letter, phone, or other means of communication. Please do not wait for the seller to contact the purchaser first. Although attempts will be made to contact the purchaser. 

After one week, it is expected some form of contact be made from (or to) the purchaser about means of payment, or situation why they unable to place a payment on the purchase. If you are unable to make a full payment of the purchase, an agreement maybe made between the seller and purchaser. However, if no contact or discussion takes place after a maximum of three weeks, then the item is subject to be deemed unclaimed. This means the item can be put back up for auction or immediate purchase by another.

If contact is made but no payment is ever received 2 weeks after the agreed time(s), the art with then be forfeited. Meaning that the art becomes unclaimed and can be resold. The Seller holds the right weather to refund all or any of the money received, as money received can be considered compensation for losses that could be incurred due to the purchaser's negligence.

I, the seller, am not responsible to make sure the commissioner or purchaser of the item makes contact with myself. Although attempts will be made on my part to contact the purchaser.  If no contact is made, I can only assume that the purchaser does not make contact, respond, plans, payment, or any agreement on the purchase, that they are no longer interested in the item.

Basic shipping charges for an 8 by an 11 inch item will cost an average of $5.50 for up to 6 items. If the item is 11 by 14 inch size, the basic cost of shipping will be from $8.00 for up to 6 items. All artwork is being mailed by priority mail (domestic only). Jewelry will be shipped in a bubble mailer, first class, and costs $3.00 for one to two necklaces (depending on weight). Larger pieces, boxed items and international shipping will be dealt with on a case-by-case scenario. Please be sure to check  first on shipping costs before you send the money! Items will not be sent until they and the shipping charges have been completely paid for.

Payment
Payment(s) should be made to me shortly after the auction or “purchase,” when all costs have been figured. Although if other terms are agreed upon a head of time on how payment(s) will be made, please follow that agreement. It is expected to hear from the purchaser and know the situation within a reasonable amount of time.

Payments should be made under the purchase tab, using goods or services option. I hold the right to decline or refund payment(s) that do not include the correct amount or information.

Refunds
In some situations, refunds maybe acceptable for full or partial payments where little or no work has been done on a commission.  The amount of the refund, when acceptable, will be determined in a case-by case scenario.  The artist holds the right to retain funds to cover any materials used, as well as time.  Deposits  (if any, and are not the same as a payment) are non refundable. Refunds are generally not given for artwork that is sold as is in Originals, Resell, or print section of this site.  There are no refunds on shipping charges.

Conclusion and Contact

The name "Chenneoue" is original to myself, as I created the name, and am unaware of any origins that have a similar or same name(s). I do use it as an alternative name, alias, pen name, and on-line “handle.” I have been using "Chenneoue" as a name since 2000. Before that, I used "Mimay" or a similar name.

If there is any confusion, unclear, or question you wish to ask me, feel free to e-mail me. I can be reached at: chenneoue @ yahoo.com (no spaces).
