Cover Art by Forever After Romance Designs

STOCK IMAGES/LICENSES:

By purchasing a design, you are reserving exclusive rights to use the design as your book cover. However, Forever After Romance Designs will retain the license and/or copyright to the artwork, images, and materials used in producing the cover.

To create our designs, we use stock images with Standard Royalty Free Licenses. Stock images are available to anyone who licenses them, so we cannot guarantee they will not be used on another design. 

Some stock photo services reserve the right to revoke a license at any point, just in case they need to remove the content from their archive or run into a dispute with the photographer. If that happens, you'll be forced to stop selling any books with the stock cover and replace them with an alternative image.

Due to Licensing Restrictions, you CANNOT:

- Alter the finished artwork in any manner. The only exception being font placement.  

- Transfer or sell the artwork to another party.

- Use beyond the 250,000 allowable prints for a full wrap cover. 

- Use the cover design to create items for resale or distribution (postcards, bookmarks, magnets, mugs, shirts, etc). 

If you would like to create items for resale or distribution, additional commercial licensing is required. Please let me know if you would like to purchase the additional licensing prior to booking a custom order.

Permitted Use with Standard License: Use of the finished Art as your book cover - ebook, print and audio - as well as, digital promotion of your book (example: online teaser images, e-newsletter, facebook banner, etc). 

Designs may not at any time be used for or by individuals engaging in pornography, sex trade or illegal activities. 

ARTWORK LICENSE LIMITS (standard licensing):

Licensed for unlimited eBook Reproductions. 

Licensed for up to 250,000 total prints of a full wrap cover.

PREMADE COVERS:

Premade artwork is sold as is and are priced as marked. Each cover is only sold once. All sales on premade art are final. 

Front Artwork and audio covers will be delivered as a JPEG flattened Image. KDP Wraps will be delivered as a High Quality Print PDF File.

Premade cover art is usually delivered within 24 hours, with the exception of weekends, holidays or unless otherwise noted. 

CUSTOM DESIGN PROCESS:

The turn-around for custom cover art is generally 5-15 business days from the start of the design. However, in the end, it will depend on working with you on any draft revisions and finalizing the design. 

You may request up to 2 rounds of revisions to the first draft. There is a fee of $35.00 per hour for additional edits. 

Included in custom art is one RF stock image of the model(s) from Period Images or Killian Images and up to 10 RF stock images (Shutterstock, Dreamstime or Depositphotos) for head-swaps, foreground and background compositing. 

GS, Jenn LeBlanc or Custom Shoot images will incur an additional fee.

FULL WRAP PROCESS: 

Full wrap covers are created based on the specifications you provide, trim size, page count and paper color. The cover is then fitted to either KDP, B&N or IngramSpark templates - based on your preference (Custom Designs Only). They are flattened and delivered as a High Quality Print PDF file. Each print service varies, it is recommended that you request a draft copy of your cover prior to offering it for sale. 

If you have provided incorrect specs or if you need an adjustment to the wrap after it was finalized there is a fee of $35 per hour. 

If information is not available for wraps at the time of completion of the art, the client MUST book their wrap design separately by contacting me or booking on my website. The specs will be required 24 hours before your scheduled date. 

PAYMENT/REFUND INFORMATION: 

Forever After Romance Designs reserves the right to refuse service.

If work has begun and we feel unable to meet the client's desired requests, or if requests become excessive and unreasonable, Forever After Romance Designs reserves the right to terminate service and return any payment made toward the design(s) to the buyer. 

Scheduled Custom Designs may be cancelled by the client. However, once designing has begun should the client choose to cancel, Forever After Romance Designs reserves the right to offer the design as a premade cover.

Final Approved Designs will be emailed once payment is made in full.

Pre-made cover sales are final, there are no refunds or exchanges. 

DESIGN STORAGE:

PSD files will be stored by me for 12 months following the final design.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

Forever After Romance Designs reserves the right to display the final approved cover designs in our portfolios. 

You are responsible for proofing the cover design at the time of delivery. This includes all text (Title, Author Name, tagline, etc). If there is an issue, please notify us immediately so the adjustment can be made.
