D/AE Double Archangel Enterprise and Double Art Angel cover art Terms and Conditions.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
By reading this form and submitting a request, you are entering into a legal contract with Mikael (Johan) Gabriel Grönblad, also known as Double Art Angel, D/A-E, or Double Archangel Enterprise. The information provided by the client in the commission form serves as a legally binding signature, acknowledging and agreeing to all terms outlined in this agreement.

PAYMENTS & METHODS

The client will proceed to pay half of the total amount (50% of the project price, including the Finish VAT-Tax of 25,5% ) at milestone 1 (one) of the project. This part of the payment will represent the money needed to acquire the licenses for the resources used to create the design and also the guarantee that the client will fulfil his obligations.

Once the design is finalized, the client will pay 50% of the total fee, along with any additional costs, if necessary, at the end of the project. The pricing for any additions to the project follows the pricing outlined in the additions pricelist, which is available in the form and on the "Book Covers and Album Designs" page.
The only exception to this rule is the Premade Pack. In this instance, the payment process begins when the client confirms their intention to purchase it as a product, acknowledging that there are no revisions for pre-made designs.

The prices for all book cover packages are fixed, except for changes in the Finnish government VAT tax, which, starting in 2025, will remain at 25.5%. Please note that additional fees may apply for any extra services requested by the client. More information regarding these additional fees can be found under the "Additions Price list".

Upon receipt of the client's feedback, D/A-E is committed to providing up to 3 revisions for the design (excluding premade book covers) with no extra charge, if needed. Each revision will require an additional 1-2 days for completion. It is important to note that the desired outcome should be achieved before this limit. 
The client may choose not to utilize all three revisions, and the price will stay the same nonetheless.
The request for a 50% Advance fee from the minimum amount of the price as insurance for the product should the client opt to terminate the project prematurely will be sent as a separate invoice.
Upon project finalization, the product will be transmitted via WeTransfer, and the invoice will be issued through PayPal or Ukko.fi under the business name Double Archangel Enterprise. There will be a 14-day downpayment period, during which an additional 5% fee will be charged for the invoice reminder. A notice to a customer or client with an unpaid invoice past the due will be provided to the email provided in the commission form.
The "Book Covers and Album Designs" page provides all pricing information. Clients will discuss any additional charges prior to initiating the requested product or service.

CANCELATIONS AND REFUNDS

Any cancellations made by the client prior to D/A-E commencing work on the project will be processed free of charge. In such instances, the client must have made no payment before the cancellation.
Conversely, cancellations initiated by the client after D/A-E has begun work on the project—defined as starting with research and asset collection—will be subject to a charge. In this case, the 50% deposit paid by the client will be non-refundable.

If the client cancels after asking for additions to be made in advance (products from the "Additions Price list" provided on the Book covers and Album Designs web page), the client will have to pay a compensation fee of 50% of the price of the entire project including the starting price and the add-on fee, plus the including Fin VAT-Tax of 25,5%, would the client wish to cancel or postpone the project prematurely.
If the client cancels the project, an invoice for the cancellation fee will be sent with a due date of 14 days. The standard Invoice procedure will follow this.
If the client wishes to postpone the project, the files will be put on hold, and the project will restart at the date the client and D/A-E agreed upon, respecting the 50% cancellation fee.
There are no refunds for premade book covers. However, each cover purchased will be considered exclusive to the client.
If a client buys a premade book cover that does not meet their requirements, they can contact D/A-E to discuss the possibility of revising the cover or making additional modifications as needed. These modifications will be priced in accordance with the rate for Custom-made book cover Pack, as outlined in the "Book Covers and Album Designs" price list.

When the client and D/A-E reach an agreement, the client is permitted to transfer the cover. The cover product may only be relocated to another person for the same price (or lower) that the original client paid. The original client will manage the relocation process.
