Tony's Toons

This site is owned and operated by Tony's Toons (Tony Marriott t/a) of 19 Courtfield Road, Quedgeley, Gloucester GL2 4UQ. If you have any queries about these terms and conditions or if you have any comments or complaints on or about our website, you can contact me at tonygs@tonystoons.co.uk or 01452 722980.

Please read the following before going ahead with an order:

• My goal is to represent a person in a fun, cartoon style, usually with exaggerated features - a 'caricature'. 
• My caricature illustrations are based on how I imagine the person's character and look to be, from the quality and content of the photos that are provided to me.
• Please bear in mind that I do not know the subject and a lot of the character of him/her is gained by you 'knowing' them. This doesn't always come across in photos. 
• Before commissioning me to create a caricature, please bear in mind that I am not a 'portrait artist'! If you are hoping for an identical, photographic representation of an individual, then please contact a portrait artist who can suit your requirements. 
• Hopefully, from viewing the caricature samples with their photos on this website, you can get an idea of what I can achieve for you.

1. The contract between us

I must receive payment of the whole of the price for the artwork that you order before= your order can be accepted. Payment can be made by one of the following methods: Cheque, PayPal or direct Bank Transfer. Instructions on how to pay via each method are emailed to the customer on confirmation of commission. Once payment has been received by me I will confirm that your order has been accepted by sending an email to you at the email address you provide. My acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us. As the item purchased is classed as a 'personalised/bespoke product', a refund cannot be offered.

Unfortunately, I am unable to post to any other address.

7.1 I am only able to deliver within the United Kingdom.

I will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address is accurate. I cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions (unless this is caused by my negligence).

If you notify a problem to me under this condition, my only obligation will be, at your option: 12.1.1 to make good any shortage or non-delivery; 12.1.2 to replace or repair any goods that are damaged or defective; or 12.1.3 to refund to you the amount paid by you for the artwork in question in whatever way we choose.
