Terms of service

This is a solid foundation, but it is missing three critical things that protect independent artists specifically:

  1. Commission Terms: You mentioned you do commissions. You need a clause here that protects your time (e.g., "deposits are non-refundable").

  2. AI & Data Mining: A modern necessity. You need to explicitly forbid people from scraping your website to train AI art generators.

  3. Price Changes: You need the legal right to change prices without notice.

I have refined your draft, removed the "[Your Brand Name]" placeholder, and added the "Artist Protection" clauses.

Terms of Service

1. Overview This website is operated by Asli Dane Kartal. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Asli Dane Kartal. By visiting our site and/or purchasing something from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.

2. Governing Law (Singapore) These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore.

3. Intellectual Property Rights (Strict Enforcement) All artwork, images, graphics, and content on this site are the sole intellectual property of Asli Dane Kartal and are protected by Singapore and international copyright laws.

  • Purchase ≠ Copyright: Purchasing a print, original painting, or merchandise does not transfer any copyright or reproduction rights to you.

  • No Commercial Use: You may not reproduce, scan, distribute, or create derivative works (e.g., printing the image on a t-shirt, using it for a logo) without express written permission and a commercial licensing agreement.

  • No AI Training: You are strictly prohibited from using any images or content from this website for the purpose of training artificial intelligence (AI) systems, machine learning models, or for data mining purposes.

4. Products, Services & Pricing

  • Colors: We have made every effort to display the colors and images of our products as accurately as possible. However, we cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any color will be 100% accurate.

  • Handmade Nature: For Original Paintings, minor imperfections (e.g., texture variations, pencil marks) are inherent to the handmade process and are not considered defects.

  • Pricing: Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time.

5. Commissions & Custom Work If you engage us for a custom commission:

  • Non-Refundable Deposit: A deposit (typically 50%) is required to secure a booking. This deposit is non-refundable as it covers the artist’s consultation time and initial sketching labor.

  • Rights: Unless a "Commercial Use License" is purchased, all commissioned art is for Personal Use Only. Asli Dane Kartal retains the right to display the commissioned work in portfolios and on social media.

6. Accuracy of Billing and Account Information We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. If we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail provided at the time the order was made.

7. Third-Party Links Certain content, products, and services available via our Service may include materials from third-parties (e.g., payment processors like Stripe/PayPal, shipping providers). We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of these third-party materials.

8. Limitation of Liability In no case shall Asli Dane Kartal, our agents, contractors, or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind, arising from your use of any of the service or any products procured using the service.

  • Shipping: We are not liable for delays, loss, or damage caused by shipping carriers (e.g., FedEx, SingPost) once the package has left our studio, though we will assist in filing claims where possible.

9. User Comments & Feedback If you send us creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, or plans (collectively, 'comments'), you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, and distribute them. We are and shall be under no obligation to maintain any comments in confidence or to pay compensation for any comments.

10. Changes to Terms of Service You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time at this page. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and changes to our website.
