Copyright and contractual information for Lone Prairie: The fine print that matters so much.

Any reference below to "the artist and writer" refers to me, Julie R. Neidlinger, owner and creator of the images, writings and ideas on this website. Any reference to "the purchaser" refers to the individual(s) who have purchased a creative work or received permission to use it, from me, Julie R. Neidlinger.

These rules apply to you, the purchaser, unless, through discussion and special arrangement with me, the artist and writer, parts of this copyright have been waived.

Copyright

All images, designs, products, downloads and writing on this website, unless otherwise noted, are originals and are copyrighted by the artist and writer, Julie R. Neidlinger, and in no way may be used for any purpose other than viewing or reading online, or for purchase, unless they are specifically detailed as free to download.

This restriction includes downloading for personal or public use, use in other electronic formats, emailing images or text, re-printing or publishing in any format, for resale, or for "idea mining" as a way for you to copy an image or product idea as yours and pass it off as your own whether through design or technique. No images or writing are to be altered (electronically or otherwise). They are the intellectual and creative property of the artist and writer and any alteration violates the copyright restrictions the artist has set out here.

Any profits made off of any form of the work, created by the artist and writer, must be shared with the artist in accordance with contracts or agreements previously agreed upon. If the artist was not aware of any activity in which profit from the artist's work was incurred, the artist reserves the right to request a percentage of those profits as deemed fitting the situation. The purchaser, or user, of the work has the responsibility and requirement to report any profits to the artist.

Artist Rights

The artist and writer reserves all right of reproduction and all copyrights in the Work sold to the purchaser, the preliminary design and any incidental works made in the creation of the work. Copyright notice in the name of the artist shall appear on the work, and the artist shall also receive authorship credit in connection with the work or any reproductions thereof. The sale of an original art piece does not include the transfer and sale of ownership of the rights to reproduce or use the image in any other way beyond personal display. The artist still retains all rights and copyrights to all of the images and writing. Permission to use them for any other purpose must be directed to the artist, creator of the work of art.

Retransfer

If the purchaser in any way whatsoever sells, gives or trades the work, or if it is inherited from the purchaser, or if a third party pays compensation for its destruction, the purchaser (or a representative of his or her estate) must within 30 days 

Exhibition

Before committing the work to a show or other public display, purchaser must give the artist notice of the intent to do so, telling the artist and writer all the details of the show that the purchaser then knows.

Destruction and Restoration

The purchaser agrees that the purchaser will not intentionally destroy, damage, alter, modify or change the work in any way whatsoever. If any alteration of any kind occurs after receipt by the purchaser, whether intentional or accidental and whether done by the purchaser or others, the work shall no longer be represented to be the work of the artist and writer without the artists' s written consent. The purchaser agrees to see that the work is properly maintained. If the work is damaged, the purchaser will consult the artist and writer before any restoration and must give the artist and writer the first opportunity to restore it.

Kill Fee

In event of a cancellation of the Work, the artist and writer will be paid 50% of the agreed upon final fee for time and effort invested in the Work ("kill fee"). The artist and writer will also retain the actual Work and all rights laid out in the contract as if the Work had been completed. If the Purchaser is not satisfied with the final work, even after the artist and writer's best efforts to reach his or her satisfaction, the artist and writer will retain the aforementioned kill fee.

Satisfaction

If the purchaser requests, a draft quality color printout of the Work may be mailed or emailed prior to final payment and shipping. If the purchaser is not satisfied, the artist and writer will work to change and complete the work within reason for the purchaser. The artist and writer will stay within the limits of her style and manner of working, understanding that the purchaser is already aware of what qualities the Work will have upon completion. If no resolution can be reached with the Work, the purchaser may cancel the project with a "kill fee" applying.

Privacy

The purchaser gives to the artist permission to use the purchaser's name, along with a reproduction of the item purchased from the artist (including by not limited to a painting, portrait, writing, idea, or anything available on or listed on this web site) for (including but not limited to) exhibition, display, advertising, online resume and gallery, trade and editorial uses, without violation of the purchaser's rights of privacy or any other personal or proprietary rights the purchaser may possess in connection with reproduction and sale of the work, the preliminary design or any incidental works made in the creation of the work.
