The document will address only original work from the artist that is non-published, The buyer will have all rights and copyrights to the piece, however, the artist will retain the right to name the piece as a part of their portfolio and for the purpose of promotion of their talents and other works but only upon the buyer’s approval
Should there be any legal issues that should arise from the artists inability to prove any stated portion of the document, the buyer and all agents and anyone who is in any way related (work or family) to the buyer, shall be held completely harmless and the artist shall defend their art at their own expense in the event that this claim is ever made against them.
