You are not permitted to use the artwork in any way that earns you money, unless you have been granted a licence in writing.

You are welcome to share your Commission on social media in line with our terms, in which event we will be delighted to re-share with you.
We do not reproduce Commissioned artwork for sale as prints or on merchandise or allow anyone else to use Commissioned artwork for commercial reasons or in any way that earns them money, except in the instance where the Commissioned artwork is purchased under a “Semi-Custom” agreement.

Conditions of Sale
- You agree to only purchase our Programs, Products and Services for yourself or for another person for whom you are legally permitted to do so or for whom you have obtained the express consent to provide their name, address, method of payment, credit card number, and billing information.
- All prices and transactions are in British Pounds Sterling and foreign currencies must convert to the full Sterling value of the invoice. Clients are responsible for all currency conversion and transfer fees, including those incurred in any refund.
- We do not offer credit and payments must be made in full before work can be scheduled to commence. You may choose to pay in non-refundable instalments and commissions are scheduled according to availability upon full payment.
- Scheduling of Commissions and estimating timelines is based on the complexity and style of your portrait and is determined once we have seen the quality of your reference photographs and ascertained what the project entails. To this end, an intake session will be booked soon after your payment clears to discuss this in detail.
- When commissioning artwork, you agree to provide only photo reference materials you have permission to use and are free of copyright and you agree to assume full legal and financial responsibility for any copyright suit or action that may take place as a result of images you supply.
- Any amendments or alterations to the contracted scope of work must be made in writing and agreed by both parties. Agreement may not be assumed as changes may not be possible. Any additional costs resulting from agreed changes must be paid within 7 days of agreement to allow work to continue.
- Amendments or alterations to the agreed scope of work and feedback on artwork progress can only be accepted from a single point of contact as specified on the contract. The completed artwork will be shipped to the address specified on the contract and you may change this in writing up until the point when shipping costs are calculated.
- Postage costs for Commissions are calculated using an insured and tracked delivery service of our choice and invoiced after the artwork has been completed, packaged and weighed. The artwork is despatched once payment for postage is made. If postage costs remain unpaid after 45 days of invoice, full ownership of the artwork reverts to Barnaby Studio and we may sell or dispose of the artwork without any liability to you.
- We are not liable for import tax, custom charges, duties or any other fees that may apply in some countries and these remain the sole responsibility of the client.
Cooling Off Period
We offer a 7 day cooling-off period from time of payment during which you may cancel your bespoke order by contacting us in writing. Unless otherwise provided by law, you acknowledge that the cooling-off period does not apply if work has commenced on a Commission or Semi-Custom Commission or if you have commenced participation in any of our Products and Services.
You acknowledge and agree the cooling-off period does not apply if you have opted to pay in non-refundable instalments.
Refund Policy
Non-bespoke Merchandise: We offer a full refund or exchange (subject to availability) on Products sold in our Online Shop where they arrive defective or not as stated, in which event you should send us an email within 7 days of receipt with a photo of the packaging and the item and await return instructions. We will pay for return postage.
We do not accept returns after 7 days. Refunds are made via your original payment method.
Bespoke Products and Services: Your satisfaction with your Product and Service is important to us. Yet, because of the extensive time, preparation and care that goes into creating and providing bespoke products and services, we have a firm no refund policy on bespoke items. This policy applies to all bespoke Products and Services, at any stage of production or pre-production, to cover loss of business, administration, preparation, mockups and other fees and costs. By purchasing from us, you understand and agree that all sales on bespoke Products and Services are final, and no refunds, neither in full nor in part, will be provided outside of the cooling off period for any reason.
Bespoke Products and Services are any Product or Service either requested by you or made specifically for you and includes Commissioned Artwork, Semi-Custom Commissions, Personal Coaching and Tuition.
Damages in Transit of Commissioned Artwork
We package our items very well and use reputable carriers and an insured and tracked service. In the unlikely event of damage during transit, you should send us an email with a photo of the packaging and damaged artwork and await return instructions. Do not dispose of the packaging since we may need it to be returned.
We pay for return postage for damages in transit and will replace commissioned artwork at no additional cost to you. The replacement artwork will be to the same specification and standard as the original artwork and scheduled into the earliest available slot in our work calendar.
Feedback During Commissions
We strive for excellent customer satisfaction and provide ample opportunity at the start of the project to discuss your preferences, aims and objectives.
We maintain contact with you while working on your project and strategic milestones and feedback points are agreed with you at the outset of the project, and these give you opportunities to provide feedback on the progress of your artwork.
Revisions may not be possible as the artwork develops. Late change requests and changes to scope may be subject to additional fees. Revisions and the amount of fees are at our sole discretion and judgement.
Missed Appointments and Delayed Feedback
Our work is timetabled to manage the needs of all our clients and for this reason, customers are expected to provide at least 24 hours notice of appointment cancellations and to provide photos and Commission feedback on a timely basis as agreed upon commencement of work. Missed appointments may incur a rescheduling fee and any breakdown in communication will result in the termination of the Commission. In this event, fees are not refundable and should you wish to continue the Commission at a later date, it will be as a new Commission and new fees will apply.
A breakdown in communication is defined as a failure to definitively respond to two email requests for a piece of information over a period of 30 days.
Commissioned Artwork Disclaimer
While we take great care to deliver Commissioned Artwork that meets the criteria we have both agreed at the start, you acknowledge that we do not make any representation or guarantees as to your satisfaction or otherwise with commissioned artwork and you agree that your bespoke commissioned artwork is strictly the artist’s interpretation of your photo and ideas and we are not liable or responsible in any way for any mismatch between your expectations and results. You accept and understand that the artist’s interpretation of your photo reference material is subject to photo quality, the artist’s personal artistic style, colours available and medium used. We also expressly disclaim responsibility in any way for the choices, actions, results, use, misuse or non-use of the information and advice provided or obtained through any of our Products and Services.
Online Commerce
We use payment processing companies and merchants to handle purchases made through our Website. We have no responsibility or liability for the privacy and data collection practices of these companies and you may be subject to their additional terms and conditions when you make your purchase. For more information regarding a Merchant and any terms and conditions that may apply, visit that merchant’s Website or contact the Merchant directly.
If you make a purchase from one of our affiliates, or any other individual or company through a link provided on our Website, Products and/or Material, you agree that we shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, refunds, or other matters of any sort that incurred as the result of such dealings with a Merchant.
No Guarantees
You understand and agree that our Services are priced with respect to our time and expertise, and not by length or satisfaction. While we take great care to deliver Products and Services that meet the goals and objectives we both have agreed at the start, there are no guarantees as to your satisfaction with the outcome, or any other anticipated result. We do not imply, state or guarantee any of our Products and Services, or whether you or others will like the Product at the time it is presented to you.
Where you request prints of Commissioned Artwork or purchase prints from our store, we do not guarantee a 100% likeness to the original artwork or what you see on your monitor due to screen resolutions, printer settings, scanner settings, differences between ink brands and other reasons outside of our control.
While we make every effort to meet the timescales agreed at commencement, all timescales are approximate and there is no guarantee that the Commission will be completed by a certain date. If you have a firm deadline requirement, this should be discussed with the Artist before making payment so you can make a mindful purchase.
We do not accept any liability for any failure to supply or deliver the Commission or any Product or Service due to force majeure. Force majeure includes but is not limited to fire, explosion, flood, lightning, pandemic, Act of God, act of government, terrorism, war, rebellion, riot, sabotage, or official strike or similar official labour dispute, or any events or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Dispute Resolution
In the event of any dispute, we hope to reach an amicable resolution through e-mail correspondence. However, should this not be possible, you agree to seek resolution through an independent mutually agreed arbitrator based in London, UK, which is where Barnaby Studio is located, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable legal fees and all costs necessary to enforce the decision of the arbitrator.
Prior to seeking arbitration, you must contact us in writing and include all of your reasons for dissatisfaction. You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is full refund of your Payment made to date. No other actions or financial awards of consequential damages, or any other type of damages, may be granted to you. We both agree now that the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding, and may be entered as a judgment into any court having the appropriate jurisdiction.
