Last update: June 11th 2025
Before you order a custom or premade book cover, you must read and agree to the following information.

Art 4 Artists reserves the right to display the book cover in portfolios, marketing materials, and on websites, while taking the client’s preferences into consideration.
Art 4 Artists retains ownership of all unused designs, concepts, licenses, and materials not included in the final product.

– Transfer the rights to use the design to another person. The licence is granted to the original purchaser only.

TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR PREMADES WITH THE USE OF AI
Last update: June 11th 2025
Before ordering a premade book cover created with the help of AI, you must read the following information.
– All covers created using generative AI are subject to the rules and restrictions set by the designer.
– To create these premade covers, the designer used a combination of generative AI, Photoshop (for repairs and extensions), copyrighted and licensed materials such as fonts, and original design elements created by the designer (e.g. brushes and shapes).
– While AI-generated images themselves are not copyrightable, the additional elements used in the design are protected by copyright.
– You, the customer, are obliged and responsible for using the purchased design in accordance with the designer’s rules and the licensing terms of all materials used.
– Do not claim the cover as your own work, and do not use it to create new covers or designs—especially not through AI tools—due to the copyrighted materials included in the design.
