Artwork and Design
Will you ever reproduce my artwork for someone else?
Short answer: no. We never, under any circumstances, use a client's submitted file for another client's drumhead without the owner's express written permission.
Long answer: we have had different clients submit very similar artwork. With how common certain images and designs are, and how easily anyone can search image repositories, it's impossible for us to become image police for the thousands of files we receive each year. That's where our submitted-artwork terms come in.
We once received a nasty letter from a client claiming we'd used an element of their design on someone else's head. It wasn't true β the other client had submitted their own artwork β and the elements in question were two very common tattoo swallows. A quick image search turned up hundreds of identical designs, and both clients had almost certainly found theirs in the same place. We can't be held accountable for common or unoriginal elements showing up in more than one design.
Images licensed from the ImageVault aren't exclusive either, and may be used by other clients. But the changes, additions and enhancements you make in the HeadBuilder are yours, and they won't be reproduced unless someone independently recreates them themselves.
Bottom line: we will never reproduce your submitted artwork for anyone without your permission. As long as your artwork is reasonably original, your head is the only one of its kind.
