Commission Agreement Form

[go--banana.livejournal.com]

(In reference to my previous post.)

I figured everyone else should see a copy of the form. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the original .doc file, and had to make a gritty version in MSword. It's the exact copy, word for word, just not as tidy as the original. :P Feel free to use, artists. Any part can be adjusted to suit the client and artist prior to signature. (Like artist reselling the picture; I personally don't use this section, and cross it out before signing. Another section is the telephone number. The client could just undisclose their number if so desired.)

And until I can find a free digital signature service, I'll stick to this. (I have not researched much in digital signatures, but the few I did see weren't free. Forgive me if I'm wrong... I'm learndign 2 b smrt! :B) Thank you everyone for their opinions! They were all very useful. :)

For anything private, I basically tell them they can do whatever they want with it as long as I'm credited if asked, and can display it as a portfolio item. Anything else I let them run wild, unless they use it for monetary gain(then royalties are to be discussed). I've never had anyone have a problem with it.
