Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our concern. JDW uses proven security measures to ensure that your information is protected. We will not sell your information to any third-party service. We will also only share your information when required to complete necessary transactions for which you give us permission (i.e. completing a purchase), or in accordance with applicable law. That said, every virtual transaction carries with it a certain level of risk. We adjure you to practice caution when inputting sensitive information.
Refund Policy
For custom commissions:
For the artist to reserve your commission spot, a fee equivalent to 1/2 the quoted price is required upfront and is non-refundable. This fee goes to the purchase of supplies and to preserve labor costs. It cannot be returned. For this reason, it is requested that all patrons review their contracts in full before signing and/or sending payment. The rest of the payment is due before the artwork is mailed to the intended patron. Once the second payment is received, the artwork will be mailed out to be delivered to the patron. At that time, the second payment is also non-refundable. To ensure that the patron is satisfied with the artwork, the patron will have a step-by-step update throughout the creation process and will receive a limited number of proposed revisions before accepting the final piece. If at any time, the patron decides to backout, the initial payment is still non-refundable. This will be the case regardless of the reason for termination of services, including but not limited to financial hardships, cold feet, acts of God, differences of opinion, significant others' opinions, or necessary termination of services (meaning the artist is terminating the contract due to but not limited to any of the above.

For prints of artworks purchased from the virtual store or in person:
All sales are final and non-refundable.
Lack of delivery due to shipping carrier:
All pieces will be sent out with appropriate insurance from the mail carrier at no extra charge to the patron. If the artwork is damaged or lost during shipping, insurance will cover the piece. The patron must deal directly with the mail carrier for any and all refunds. No refunds will be provided by JDW ArtStudios LLC or any of its affiliates for lost, stolen, or damaged property.
