All Designs are sold AS-IS! So be 100% sure before you purchase that the art is EXACTLY what you are looking for. REQUESTS FOR CHANGES WILL BE RESPONDED TO WITH A CALL TO UNLEASH THE KRAKEN!

Unless permission is expressly granted in advance, changes or alterations made by the buyer or another designer to the art after the sale are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! Should we be made aware of this rule being disregarded, then the buyer will be denied/blocked from making further purchases.

Purchases are not considered complete and the buy link is not de-activated until payment has been processed. In the event that a second buyer slips through this small window, the time stamp on the purchase will be used to verify the correct buyer and the other will be notified of the duplicate sale regarding a refund or credit towards a future purchase.

Additional note on the “Curated Collection” designs:

Many of the art designs in this collection were created using model stock that has been shot exclusively for The Midnight Muse. In some cases, entire galleries of images from the custom shoot sessions have been purchased specifically for the creation of the designs showcased here and for use on covers created specifically for a single client.

While each design is totally unique and sold only once, The Midnight Muse retains the right to use all or part of the original stock photo in future projects. This allows me to keep the prices for these designs well below what a client might pay elsewhere for an exclusive or limited use design.
