Terms and Conditions

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS IS A CONDITION OF YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE AS AN INDEPENDENT ILLUSTRATOR

This is an image use agreement between Westie Press, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (WP), operating through the website www.CustomAdultColoring.com (CAC), and you, an Illustrator or authorized agent (“you”).

WP is in the business of producing and selling custom adult coloring books through CAC. These custom coloring books consist of 20 coloring book pages and one common “backer” page that prints on the back of the 20 coloring book pages. All pages are selected by the end user. These pages are created from images which are supplied by various illustrators, including you.

This Independent Illustrator Agreement is intended to supplement the otherwise binding general Terms and Conditions. In the event a term of this Agreement conflicts with the general Terms and Conditions, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Definitions:

Image – means an image is the electronic version of an original piece of art, created by you. Images will be supplied to WP as hi-resolution jpeg or PFD, suitable for printing. Once an image is transmitted to WP, and is approved by WP, the images will be indexed and added to the CAC database and made available for inclusion in Custom Adult Coloring books. You should always keep a copy of any image supplied to WP and should NEVER send original images.

Impression – means an impression is a single printed copy of an image. It is the unit of measure that will be used in calculating use feesyou earn.. In the standard 40-page coloring book, there are 20 images where use fees will be calculated. Which images are included in each coloring book is determined by the end user. One printed copy of a coloring book includes 20 impressions (one of each included image).

Terms:

By submitting an image to WP, you grant WP the non-exclusive right to offer printing of these supplied images to the general public in the form of custom coloring books. Additionally, by submitting an image to the CAC database you certify each of the following: (1) you have the right to enter into this agreement; (2) you have they have the right to offer for printing any images supplied to WP; and (3) you are of the age of majority in the state in which you reside.

You may submit images, suitable for commercial printing, to WP. WP has the right to accept or reject any submitted image for any reason. Once an image is accepted into the CAC database, WP will include the image on CAC and offer the image to the general public for inclusion in a printed coloring book. The position of the image on CAC will be at the sole discretion of WP. Additionally, you grant WP the right to use the images anywhere on CAC or in advertising; electronic or printed. No use fees will be paid on advertising copies or copies displayed on CAC. You can remove any supplied image from the CAC database, upon written notice to WP. WP will not use your images for any purpose other then what is specified in this agreement.

You will be paid a use fee of $.05 per impression, every time an impression is printed in a custom coloring book. If multiple images are used in a book (up to the full 20), $.05 will be paid for each impression of these images(e.g.,if an end user selects10 of your images for inclusion in a coloring book, the use fee paid to you would be $.05 X 10, or $.50). If an end user does not select one of your images, you will not be paid anything. An image can appear multiple times within a book, and multiple copies of a book may be ordered. If multiple copies are purchased, it is the number of impressions that defines the use fee paid to you (e.g., if an end user selects10 of your images and the end user prints 2 copies, then the total impressions is 20, so the use fee paid would be 20 x $.05, or $1.00).

WP will pay you all earned use fees on a monthly basis via Paypal, to your PayPal account. Payment will be paid in US dollars. You will be assigned a unique admin page where you can view a listing of all images being offered by you, as well as your monthly sales. As an independent contractor, you are entirely responsible for any and all tax payment and disclosure requirements concerning those fees paid to you.

WP will store all images on a secure server and make best efforts to protect your images from unauthorized use, including but not limited to, placing a watermark all web images. While WP will use best practices to protect the electronic image, there are simply some things that cannot be guaranteed. Thus, WP makes no guarantee that your designs will not be used by others in an unauthorized manner. Should WP learn that any of your images are being used in an unauthorized manner, WP will notify you immediately.
