​

Constance Texier, independent designer in jewelry & precious objects, art direction, 3D images/animation, creative staging (AI + 3D), and visual/editorial design — Artists-Authors regime.
Legal details: SIRET 79756540500025 – Paris – France.

​

ARTICLE 1 – PURPOSE

These T&Cs govern the contractual relationship between the Client and Constance Texier for the sale of services, principally:

• Visual creation of collections and pieces (jewelry & precious objects), drawings and/or technical brief;

• Art direction, creative staging (AI + 3D set design), 3D renderings and video animations.

Each service is subject to a quotation specifying scope and deliverables. These T&Cs prevail over any other terms (including the Client’s Purchasing Terms), except for specific conditions included in the quotation. Quotations are valid for the period stated therein.

ARTICLE 2 – COMMENCEMENT OF SERVICES

The order becomes firm subject to: (i) receipt of the quotation dated, signed and marked “Approved”; and (ii) payment of a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the gross amount (unless otherwise stated in the quotation). Work starts only once these conditions are met.

ARTICLE 3 – ORDER & DELIVERY OF WORK

Services are performed remotely (email / phone / video call) on the basis of a sufficiently detailed written or oral brief, unless specific conditions are defined with the Client at the quotation stage. Deliverables are supplied electronically (usual formats: .PNG/.JPG, .PDF, .MP4, .OBJ/.3DM/.STEP as per quotation). Native source files (3D scenes, project files, prompts, seeds, scripts) are not delivered unless expressly stated in the quotation.

ARTICLE 4 – ACCEPTANCE OF DELIVERABLES

Upon receipt of the deliverables, the Client has 3 weeks to approve them or provide comments. If no response is received, approval is deemed given and the service becomes due and payable.
Substantial modifications (those extending execution by more than 2 hours) will, depending on their nature, require an amendment/new quotation replacing or supplementing the initial one.
Where the quotation provides for a set number of deliverables (number of visuals, seconds of animation, etc.), Constance Texier undertakes to deliver the agreed volume; beyond that, an additional quotation will be issued.

ARTICLE 5 – TIMEFRAMES

Constance Texier will deliver by the dates indicated in the indicative schedule attached to the quotation, except in cases beyond her control. If a contingency occurs, the Client will be informed of the necessary extension to ensure proper completion. An order scheduled for a specific period cannot be unilaterally postponed without written agreement.

ARTICLE 6 – PAYMENT TERMS

Payment by bank transfer (or cheque) within a maximum of 30 days from invoice date.
Typical schedule: 30% on order, 70% on completion (or other terms specified in the quotation).
For engagements longer than 1 month, monthly invoices may be issued in line with progress. Any late payment suspends performance and delivery until regularisation.

ARTICLE 7 – LATE PAYMENT

Late-payment interest is due automatically after the invoice due date, at the ECB refinancing rate (Refi) + 10 percentage points. A fixed €40 recovery charge also applies. Additional actual recovery costs may be charged where higher.

ARTICLE 8 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY – ASSIGNMENT/LICENCE

Unless otherwise specified in the quotation, works and creations (drawings, images, animations, 3D scenes, texts, art direction, AI/3D stagings, etc.) are protected under the French Intellectual Property Code.
By default, delivery grants the Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence, strictly limited to the uses, territories, durations and media expressly stated in the quotation.
Any assignment or extension (exclusivity; additional media/territories/durations; media buys; campaigns; retail; OOH, etc.) must be set out in a separate written clause precisely describing the field of exploitation (rights granted, duration, territories, media, volumes). Otherwise, the author retains all rights not expressly assigned. The assignment/licence is acquired only after full payment.
Moral rights (attribution, integrity of the work) remain with Constance Texier. Any substantial alteration, distorting crop, or out-of-context association requires prior written consent.

ARTICLE 9 – “AI WORKFLOWS” CLAUSE

For visuals produced with or including generative AI (e.g., Midjourney, etc.):

• Obligation of means (art direction, prompting, post-production), not of identical result;

• Inherent variability; exact reproducibility cannot be guaranteed;

• Unless stated in the quotation, AI source files (prompts/seeds/workflows) are not delivered;

• The Client is responsible for legal clearances in its exploitation context (trademarks, depicted persons/objects, protected locations) and undertakes not to request unlawful representations;

• For 3D + AI compositing, each component is governed by these clauses and by the agreed assignment/licence.

ARTICLE 10 – CLIENT-SUPPLIED CONTENT

The Client warrants holding all rights/permissions to the materials provided (logos, texts, images, collections, 3D models, music, etc.) and indemnifies Constance Texier against any third-party claims.

ARTICLE 11 – CONFIDENTIALITY

Information, documents, prototypes, 3D files, briefs and communications are confidential during performance and for 3 years thereafter.

ARTICLE 12 – CREDITS & REFERENCES

Unless the Client provides a prior written objection for legitimate reasons or as otherwise agreed at the quotation stage, Constance Texier may reference the Client’s name/logo and share excerpts of deliverables (images/animations/mockups) for portfolio purposes (website, social media, credentials, tenders, press).

ARTICLE 13 – LIABILITY

The total liability of Constance Texier under the contract (including penalties) is limited to the net amount paid for the service concerned. No indirect damages (loss of business, data, image, etc.) may be claimed.

ARTICLE 14 – FORCE MAJEURE

In the event of force majeure (fire, flood, health crisis, network/energy outages, strikes, etc.), obligations are suspended for 30 days. Beyond that period, either party may terminate by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, effective 8 days after receipt.

ARTICLE 15 – CLAIMS & DISPUTES

Claims must be sent to contact@constancetexier.com with: subject, contact details, quotation reference, and supporting documents. Non-use of deliverables that conform to the quotation does not entitle the Client to a refund.
Failing amicable resolution, these T&Cs are governed by French law, and disputes fall under the jurisdiction of the courts where Constance Texier is domiciled.

ARTICLE 16 – CANCELLATION / TERMINATION

If the Client cancels after acceptance: the 30% deposit remains due; work already carried out beyond the deposit is payable pro rata; a fixed €300 (excl. VAT) penalty may be applied as liquidated damages. Any termination by either party must be notified by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, with a 10-day notice period.

ARTICLE 17 – PERSONAL DATA

Client data are processed for the management of quotations, projects and invoices. Requests to access/rectify/delete may be sent to contact@constancetexier.com. Data are retained only for legal and contractual periods.

ARTICLE 18 – ARTISTS-AUTHORS PROVISIONS (INVOICING)

Invoices include mandatory particulars (identity, SIREN/SIRET, address, date, due date, late-fee rate & €40 recovery charge, etc.). Under the Artists-Authors regime, where applicable, the invoice may remind the Client (as “diffuser”) of its URSSAF obligations. If under the VAT exemption scheme, invoices bear the statement: “VAT not applicable – Article 293 B of the French CGI.”

ARTICLE 19 – FINAL PROVISIONS

If any clause is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force. Constance Texier may update these T&Cs; the applicable version is the one in force on the date of the quotation.
