TERMS AND CONDITIONS
CUSTOM COVER TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
​
​Custom covers will be designed based on author specifications. Prior to your design month, we will discuss those specifications through the medium of your choice: messages, text, phone call, online meeting, etc. A draft will be created based on the notes from that meeting.
All sales are final and will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Custom covers are made with stock photos unless the author has a photo selected and purchased. Licensing will need to be shown if the author purchases the photo.
Any stock photo selected by me will never be used again for a cover designed by me. I cannot guarantee that the same photo will not appear on another cover or another author will not buy the photo on his/her own and bring it to me for a design.
​
Custom covers cannot be resold. By purchasing a custom cover and paying your final invoice, you agree to all the terms and conditions listed on the Terms and Conditions page.
​
​Please plan to have your information prepared for a custom cover at least one month prior to when you need the cover (minimum). This gives us time to work on and make revisions to your cover.
​
Custom Covers come with 3 revisions. Anything after that will be an additional fee. For more specific information, please look at the Custom Cover page.
Modifications will be completed and final files provided to you by the date you give me. Please note, that files will be delivered on the evening of the date you give me since I have a full time job and work on covers in the evening.
Customization of text, images, etc. is included in the purchase price.
​
PRE-MADE COVER TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Pre-made Covers will come with an ebook, one full-wrap, and title png and 3d renders. Additional wraps and audiobook covers can be added for an additional fee of $50. See Custom Cover information for pricing information.
​
Pre-mades are available on a first come, first served basis. Once they are sold, they are never sold again.
All sales are final and will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Pre-made covers are made with stock photos, so while I will never use that photo again, I cannot guarantee that the same photo will not appear on another cover.
​
Pre-made covers cannot be resold. By purchasing a pre-made cover with final payment of your invoice, you agree to all the terms and conditions listed on this page.
​
​Modifications to pre-made covers must be scheduled one week ahead of time.
Modifications will be completed and final files provided to you within one week of scheduling.
Customization of text is included in the purchase price. Requesting a font change will be an additional charge.
​

PUBLISHING RIGHTS:

The Client and/or others may not use Enchanting Romance Designs product in any way that may infringe upon the rights of others.
​
A NOTE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE / AI STOCK PHOTOS:
I do not support, nor will I ever knowingly use AI generated images on covers, teasers or promotional graphics. As an artist, I would never want to harm another artist and want them to be acknowledged and fairly compensated for their work.
With AI images appearing on paid stock sites, and with them often not disclosing what is and isn’t AI generated, it’s becoming harder to discern. I’m looking into the use of AI detector tools for the images I pull/purchase from stock sites. However AI, by nature, is ever evolving. These tools are new, and I expect they will have flaws and will occasionally miss the mark.
That being said, if I unknowingly use an AI generated image in any cover/teaser/promo graphic that I design, I will be transparent and remove it. I will also work with the author, book box, etc. to re-design something new as soon as possible.
This is a pretty terrifying time for artists. I vow to continue to create with integrity, and to honor the artist community as best as I can.
​
​ACCEPTION OF TERMS:
​Both Enchanting Romance Designs and the Client will acknowledge acceptance of these terms when they agree to work together. By acknowledging this contract, the Client agrees to hold Enchanting Romance Designs entirely free from any liability, including financial.
