Terms & Conditions – Artwork, Installation & Use

1. Artwork & Intellectual Property

All artwork, designs, concepts, layouts, drafts, and files created by KrankHouse Designs remain the property of KrankHouse Designs, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Payment for a job covers the creation and use of artwork for the agreed job only. Payment does not transfer ownership, copyright, or entitlement to artwork files.

2. Artwork Files

KrankHouse Designs is not required to supply artwork files to clients, whether editable or print-ready, regardless of payment status.

Any release of artwork files is at the sole discretion of KrankHouse Designs and may attract an additional fee.

3. Use of Artwork

Artwork created by KrankHouse Designs may be used only for the specific job it was created for (for example, a particular vehicle, race car, sign, or installation).

Artwork may not be reused, modified, copied, reproduced, or supplied to another printer, signwriter, or third party without written approval from KrankHouse Designs.

4. Branding & Attribution

KrankHouse Designs reserves the right to place its logo or branding on artwork and finished products (including race cars, signage, vehicles, and printed items) in a tasteful and reasonable manner, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5. Payments

Unless stated otherwise, payment is required in full before work commences.
Work will not begin until payment has been received.

6. Cancellations & Artwork Charges

If a job is cancelled after artwork has commenced, KrankHouse Designs reserves the right to:

• retain payment for artwork time already completed, and
  
  

• charge an artwork fee based on time, complexity, and progress of the job.
  
  

Where full payment has been made, no refund will be provided for artwork already completed.

Artwork and files will not be released for cancelled jobs.

7. Revisions

Quotes include artwork based on the agreed scope only with a reasonable time restricted amount of changes.
Additional revisions, changes in direction, or scope changes may incur additional charges.

8. Client-Supplied Content

The client warrants they have the right to use any logos, images, text, or materials supplied.

KrankHouse Designs accepts no liability for claims arising from client-supplied content.

9. Approval

Once artwork is approved by the client, responsibility for errors transfers to the client.
Changes requested after approval may incur additional charges.

10. Installation, Surfaces & Adhesion

KrankHouse Designs is not responsible for failure of adhesion, lifting, peeling, bubbling, or damage to graphics or signage caused by the condition or preparation of the underlying surface.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• poorly prepared or repainted vehicles,
  
  

• non-factory, aged, or incompatible paint systems,
  
  

• fresh paint that has not fully cured,
  
  

• rust, corrosion, clear coat failure, or surface contamination,
  
  

• previous repairs, vinyl removal damage, or surface defects.
  
  

No warranty is provided for installations where the underlying surface condition is unknown, compromised, or outside KrankHouse Designs’ control, regardless of the size or value of the job.

Where concerns exist, installation may proceed at the client’s risk.

The client acknowledges that adhesion issues may not be immediately apparent at the time of installation and may develop after the work has been completed.

11. Promotional Use

KrankHouse Designs may use artwork and photographs of completed work for portfolio, website, and promotional purposes.

12. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
