Copyrights

All original characters and artwork created by A. L. Wagner a.k.a. "Chenneoue" located on Weebly, ArtSpots, Deviant, Fur Affinity 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. This does not include tracing, cropping or manipulating.
  
• 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.  If you wish to share my art with others, please send them a link to my site.
  

"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.”

Watermark Disclosure
All images will be watermarked with the artist information and signature when the artist retains rights. When full rights are purchased to an image, or when the artist does not retain the rights, only a small signature will be used. In the later case, watermarks for the owner can be placed on the image per request. Exceptions will be traditional works or "poses". The original traditional work will only have the artist signature, whether rights are retained by the artist or not. However, digital copes will be watermarked accordingly.

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 if the purchaser does not make contact, respond, makes payment(s), or any agreement on the purchase, that they are no longer interested in the item.

Cost

Shipping and Handling Charges
Basic shipping charges for an 8 by an 11 inch item will cost an average of $4.95, these are shipped priority. Jewelry will be shipped in a bubble mailer, first class, and costs $3.00 for one to two necklaces (depending on weight). Bookmarks can be shipped in a stiff envelope for $1.50 or a photo mailer (cardboard envelope, offers a little more protection) for $2.25. Larger pieces, additional items, 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.

Personal checks are no longer accepted. The acceptable payment type is through Paypal.  Please make sure that all your information is up to date on your account and any information that is needed be included when sending your payment. 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.

Requests and Commissions

Requests for commissions that are recieved are not guaranteed acceptance by myself (the artist). They can be rejected or declined for any reasons. Any commission (an accepted request) that does not have any special terms specified and agreed upon will be subject to the default terms described on this page. This includes a deadline or timeline. If one is not set, the artist will work on her time. You can check the update and progress of your commission on this page. If you have lost contact with the artist or wish for an update, please e-mail me.

Quotes
As part of the business, quotes are often given as a rough estimate of the actual cost maybe. When getting and receiving an estimate, please be aware that "quote" will only be valid for a short time after it is made. For most personal, non-commercial pieces, this may be only for a month. For commercial, or more professional pieces, the estimate may last longer, up to 6 months. As prices vary depending on demand and skill level and quality being produced at the time. If you are commissioning right after receiving a quote, you will not have to worry about the price changing (exceptions: excessive editing needs or person difficulty). However, if you are just getting a ball park quote, and don't enishiate a commission until 6 months later, that price is likely to have changed. It is advised to receive an estimate or quote within a short time of planned commissioned work.

Conclusion and Contact

I hold to right to change, edit, or modify the terms of the TOS, TOU, Copyright, unclaimed art, and other terms on this site at any time without notice. Any agreement made specifically with another (the commissioner, purchaser, buyer) cannot be modified without notice.

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).
