Commission Terms
General Information
Commissioned artworks by Nina Kipper are individual, concept-driven works developed in direct dialogue with the client within the framework of Human Resonance.
Each commission is a collaborative process between artistic intention and client context (space, atmosphere, emotional focus).
Process & Development
The commission process typically includes:
initial consultation (online or in person)
definition of format, scale and general direction
conceptual alignment within the artistic practice of Nina Kipper
creation phase within the studio
Throughout the process, artistic interpretation remains an essential part of the work.
Final artworks may differ from initial sketches, ideas or references shared during the consultation phase, as part of the artistic development process.
Payment Terms
Commissioned works require a non-refundable deposit before production begins. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the artwork and prior to shipment.
Production will only begin once the deposit has been received.
Approval & Artistic Freedom
Depending on the nature of the commission, two types of works may apply:
1. Studio-Aligned Commissions
Works developed within the existing visual and conceptual language of Nina Kipper.
These may, under certain conditions, be eligible for return in accordance with the general Return Policy.
2. Fully Custom Commissions
Works that include specific client requests such as:
personalized content
predefined color schemes outside the studio practice
text, symbols or figurative requirements
highly individual conceptual instructions
These works are considered fully personalized and are therefore excluded from cancellation and return rights.
The classification is always agreed in writing prior to the start of production.
Timeline
Production timelines are individually determined and depend on:
complexity of the work
current studio schedule
drying and material processes
size and format
Estimated timelines will be communicated before the start of the commission. Delays due to artistic process or material conditions are possible and do not constitute grounds for cancellation.
Revisions & Changes
Minor adjustments may be discussed during the early stages of the process.
Once production has started, significant changes to concept, scale or direction may no longer be possible or may result in additional costs.
Shipping
All shipping conditions follow the general Shipping Policy of Nina Kipper.
Custom crates or specialized transport may be required for commissioned works.
Copyright & Usage
All commissioned artworks remain the intellectual property of Nina Kipper.
The purchase of a commissioned artwork does not transfer copyright or reproduction rights.
Nina Kipper reserves the right to document and use commissioned works for portfolio, exhibition, publication and promotional purposes unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Reproduction, digital use or AI training based on commissioned works is strictly prohibited without prior written consent.
