Copyright and Usage Rights when working with Unleished Art​

All copyright and intellectual property rights in the Artwork remain the sole property of Unleished Art. The Client is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Artwork only for the following purposes:

• Inclusion in the children’s book (print and digital formats).

• Promotion and marketing directly related to the book (e.g., social media, posters, brochures, websites, advertising, events).

• Any additional use (e.g., merchandise such as plush toys, apparel, colouring books, puzzles, stationery, or prints) requires a separate written licence and may be subject to additional fees or royalties.

• The Client may not alter, resell, sublicense, or otherwise repurpose the Artwork without prior written consent from the artist. ​

Moral Rights

The Client may not alter the Artwork (e.g., cropping, recolouring, adding elements) in a way that may compromise the integrity of the original work without the Illustrator’s written consent.

Portfolio Rights

The Illustrator retains the right to display the Artwork in their portfolio, website, social media, and marketing materials, even after the book’s publication. ​

Indemnity & Liability

The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Unleished Art from any claims, damages, or disputes arising from the Client’s use of the Artwork outside the scope of this agreement.

File Delivery

Working files (e.g., layered Illustrator or Photoshop files) are not included unless agreed upon in writing.

Third-Party Use

The Client is responsible for ensuring they have appropriate licences for any third-party assets supplied (e.g., fonts, stock images, copy).

Print & Production

Unleished Art is not responsible for print or production errors once files have been approved by the Client.

If print management is included, reasonable care will be taken to ensure quality, but final responsibility lies with the supplier.
