2. Products and Services
2.1 Nature of the Products
The products available on Dilya's Art are unique artistic creations, designed and illustrated by the artist Dilya . Our shop offers a wide range of personalized items, such as clothing, accessories and decorative objects, each adorned with an original illustration or drawing.
All of our products are made on demand, meaning they are not held in inventory but printed specifically for each order. To ensure the highest quality, we work with specialized suppliers like Printful and other suppliers selected for their printing and production expertise.
The creations sold on Dilya's Art can be:
- Original designs entirely imagined by the Artist, without external intervention.
- Works inspired by ideas submitted by clients and/or visitors , which the Artist adapts while respecting his style and artistic vision.
⚠️ In any case, each product offered contains a specific design and cannot be considered a blank or standard item.
The Artist retains complete creative freedom to interpret the ideas proposed to him, ensuring to respect the visual harmony and artistic identity of Dilya's Art. Furthermore, no exact reproduction of an existing work will be made in order to preserve copyright and intellectual property.
Finally, due to the artisanal nature and the printing process used, slight variations may exist between the digital preview and the final product, in particular depending on the chosen support and the printing techniques applied.
2.2 Customization of Products
We offer the possibility to customize a large part of our suppliers' products [ See section "3 Submission of ideas and Personalized Creation" ]. You can submit your ideas for unique creations via our contact form.
Each idea will be interpreted with the artistic freedom of the artist, while respecting technical and creative constraints. Please note that, although we respect your ideas as much as possible, Dilya's Art retains exclusive ownership of the copyright on custom creations.
2.3 Limits of Liability
Due to the made-to-order nature of our products, there may be minor differences between the visuals shown on the site and the final product. These variations may involve color, texture, or other details related to the printing or manufacturing of the product. We make every effort to ensure that each product accurately reflects the quality and visual appearance we present.
Furthermore, we cannot be held responsible for errors due to incorrect or incomplete information provided by the customer when ordering. It is therefore important to carefully check your information before confirming your order.
3. Submission of Ideas and Custom Creation
3.1 Submission of Ideas
On Dilya's Art , we offer our customers the opportunity to submit their ideas for custom creations. Whether it is a specific concept or a general inspiration, you can send them to us via our contact form or any other means mentioned on the site.
When submitting an idea, the client acknowledges and accepts that:
- It grants Dilya's Art the artistic freedom to interpret, adapt and transform its concept into a unique work.
- The client may not claim any copyright or intellectual property rights over the final creation resulting from his idea.
- Dilya's Art remains the sole owner of the reproduction and distribution rights of the works created.
Submitted ideas must be clear and respectful of the values of Dilya's Art , that is to say without offensive, discriminatory or illegal remarks.
3.2 Validation and Modifications of Ideas
Once your idea is submitted, Dilya's Art is committed to supporting you from A to Z throughout the creation process until the publication of your work on the online store. You will be regularly informed of the progress of the creation and will have the opportunity to request adjustments or modifications at each stage of the process.
It is important to note that any significant modification or substantial change to the creation, requested after each validation step, could result in an extension of the production time. We strive to meet deadlines, but many modification requests or complex adjustments may require additional time to ensure a quality rendering.
Dilya's Art undertakes to:
- Respect the ideas submitted as much as possible while maintaining creative freedom to guarantee a harmonious and artistic result.
- Support the customer throughout the creation process by offering personalized follow-up until the product is published in the store.
- Adapt concepts or characters to respect copyright and avoid any infringement.
- Inform the client of any substantial modification deemed essential to the development of the work.
3.3 Limits and Refusal of Creation
While we endeavour to implement all ideas submitted, Dilya's Art reserves the right to refuse an order or modify an idea in the following cases:
- If the inspiration provided infringes intellectual property rights (eg: characters licensed without permission).
- If the application is deemed contrary to the brand's values, i.e. containing offensive, discriminatory or illegal elements.
- If the technical or artistic feasibility does not allow a faithful version of the idea submitted to be produced.
In these cases, we will inform the customer as soon as possible, and an alternative solution may be proposed. This solution may include changing the idea or canceling the order.
3.4 Submission of Ideas: Free and Without Obligation to Purchase
All idea proposals submitted through our form or any other means made available on our site are completely free and voluntary . By submitting an idea, the customer is in no way obliged to purchase a product or take any purchasing action, even after submitting the idea.
Submitting an idea does not constitute a commitment to purchase, either before or after the creation of the work. This process does not imply any contractual obligation between the client and Dilya's Art. The Artist reserves the right to accept or refuse any idea proposal, without this entailing any obligation to purchase or financial compensation.
3.5 Cancellation or Change of Mind for an Idea
Clients may cancel their idea request at any point during the process, without any obligation or consequences . However, if the Artist finds the idea inspiring and wishes to develop it, she reserves the right to realize it independently.
In this case, all rights related to the creation will be fully transferred to Dilya, who will be able to modify, adapt or rethink the idea according to her artistic vision, without obligation to credit or associate the client with the final work. The resulting creation will then be considered an original work of Dilya, free to be commercialized, published or used at her discretion.
Dilya is committed to reworking the initial idea so that it is not a simple reproduction of the original request. Some elements may be kept (such as the general composition), but adjustments will be made to ensure a unique and personal interpretation.

7.1. Right of Withdrawal
In accordance with the legal provisions in force, you have a right of withdrawal of 14 days after receipt of your order to inform us of your wish to cancel the purchase, except for personalized products.
However, as all our products are made to order and feature designs created by Dilya , this right of withdrawal does not apply to personalised products, except in the case of a defect or obvious error in the personalisation carried out.
7.2. Product Returns
Since our products are manufactured and shipped directly by our supplier partners such as Printful, return or exchange requests should be made directly to these suppliers .
We recommend that you consult their respective return policies, as they may differ depending on the type of product, customization or circumstances. Here are the steps to follow to make a return:

- Follow supplier's terms : Each supplier has its own return policies, which may include specific time frames, products eligible for return, and associated fees.
- Returns accepted only in case of manufacturing defect or error : As stated in our conditions, personalized products are only eligible for return in the case of a customization error or manufacturing defect. In all other cases, returns will be refused.
If the supplier accepts your return, the return costs and management of the process will be borne by the customer, unless the product is defective or incorrectly personalized.
We encourage you to check each vendor's specific return policies before making a purchase to avoid any confusion.
7.3. Products Not Eligible for Return
Due to the personalized nature of our products, products cannot be returned or exchanged , except in cases of manufacturing defect or obvious error in customization. This includes:
- Products that have been specifically manufactured or customized at the customer's request (including with illustrations, texts or any other element modified according to the customer's preferences).
- Products validated by the customer when ordering, regarding size, design or customization, cannot be returned or exchanged simply due to a change of mind or personal dissatisfaction.
- Any return or exchange request regarding personalized products that are not defective will not be considered, due to their unique and custom-made nature.
These products are considered personalized goods , and in accordance with the provisions of article L121-21-8 of the Consumer Code, they are excluded from the right of withdrawal once the order has been validated and the product manufactured.
7.4. Return and Refund Process
If a return is accepted by the supplier, here is the process to follow:
- Contact the supplier directly : You must first contact the relevant supplier (e.g. Printful) within 14 days of receiving the product to report the issue.

We encourage you to carefully review each vendor's return policies before ordering, as conditions may vary.
7.5. Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal
Under Article L121-21-8 of the French Consumer Code, personalized products cannot be returned or exchanged except in the event of a defect or non-conformity.

Dilya's Art cannot be held responsible for errors made when submitting the order. We recommend that our customers carefully check all information before finalizing their order.

10. Idea Submission Liability
10.1 Client’s Responsibility when Submitting an Idea
When you submit an idea, you are entirely responsible for it.

10.2 Intellectual Property Rights of Submitted Ideas
By submitting an idea, you understand and agree that Dilya's Art may use the idea to create a custom work. However, if the idea submitted by the client contains elements protected by copyright, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights of third parties, the Artist reserves the right to transform or adapt the idea in order to comply with applicable legislation. This may include substantially modifying the original idea to avoid any infringement of copyright or intellectual property rights.
In this case, if no prior authorization or appropriate license is provided by the client for the use of these protected elements, the final work may be radically different from the idea submitted by the client. The Dilya's Art Artist retains the freedom to create a work that respects intellectual property rights while being inspired by the idea submitted.
Therefore, even if an idea is inspired by a submission, the client acknowledges that the final design may be substantially modified, or even completely transformed, to comply with legal requirements and to respect copyright.
The intellectual property rights of the final work, including the rights of reproduction, modification and distribution, will be held by Dilya's Art, and the client waives any copyright claim on the work created.
10.3 Right to Refusal or Modification of the Idea
Dilya's Art reserves the right to reject or modify any idea submitted for any reason it deems appropriate. The artist has full freedom to adapt or revise the submitted idea in order to respect the artistic, ethical and legal principles of Dilya's Art. If an idea is retained and transformed, the final work may differ substantially from the initial idea submitted.
In the event of a substantial modification of the idea, Dilya's Art undertakes to inform the client and obtain their approval before finalizing the design.
10.4 No Warranty on Use of the Idea
Submitting an idea does not guarantee that the idea will be used, or that the idea will be transformed into a product or commercial work. Dilya's Art is not obligated to act on any idea submission and is not responsible for the non-use of the idea submitted.
Furthermore, Dilya's Art is not responsible for any inspiration it may draw from the ideas submitted. The artist retains the freedom to draw inspiration from various sources for his or her creations, including similar ideas submitted by other clients.

Each creation is carefully designed to avoid any copyright infringement and ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards.
13.1 Nature of Custom Inspired Fanarts
Dilya's Art offers a wide range of custom inspired fanarts made on demand, always respecting the principles of intellectual property and ensuring a creative and original approach. Types of custom inspired fanarts include:
-

Each custom inspired fanart creation is significantly transformed to ensure its originality and compliance with intellectual property rules. The process thus allows ideas to be brought to life while creating unique and creative artistic works, adapted to the wishes of the customers while respecting the laws in force.
14. Creation Process
14.1 Various Proposals
When the client submits an idea, Dilya's Art proposes several creative variations based on this idea. The process begins with an initial series of suggestions so that the client can choose the artistic direction he prefers. This allows the work to be best adapted to his expectations while respecting the principles of intellectual property.
14.2 Artistic Transformation
Once the direction is chosen, the idea undergoes a thorough artistic transformation. The goal is to make significant changes to create an original work, while remaining faithful to the original idea. These transformations can concern physical features, graphic style, the character's personality, or even the visual universe, in order to guarantee a unique and distinctive creation.
14.3 Creation Process Detail
The creation process is divided into several stages:
- Initial Draft : The first step is to draw a rough sketch, capturing the broad outline and structure of the idea.
- Final Lines : After validation of the draft, the lines of the drawing are refined and detailed to provide precision.
- Laying the Base Colors : Once the lines are defined, the base colors are applied without adding shadows or highlights. This allows the visual foundation of the work to be laid.
- Applying Shadows and Lights : Next, shadows and lights are added to give depth and volume to the work.
- Final Details : Finally, the final details are added, such as textures, special effects or other decorative elements to perfect the work and give it its final touch.
- Finalization, Listing and Credit: Once the illustration is finalized, the work is transferred to the media chosen (or not) by the client, while maintaining regular contact to ensure that each step meets their expectations. Once the client validates the illustration and its application on the media, the products are put up for sale on the site. The client is credited appropriately for their contribution to the initial idea, in accordance with the agreements established. Subsequently, anyone visiting the site will be able to choose whether or not to purchase the products offered.
14.3.1 Continuous Dialogue with the Client
Throughout the creative process, the client interacts directly with the artist, ensuring that the work perfectly matches their expectations. At each stage, the client can give their opinion, allowing adjustments and modifications to be made according to their preferences. This continuous dialogue with the artist guarantees a tailor-made personalization, offering the client a unique and participatory experience in the design of the final work.
This process ensures a creative and tailored experience while respecting the ethical and legal principles associated with creating personalized inspired fanart.
15. Respect for Copyright and Modifications
At Dilya's Art, we are committed to strictly respecting copyright and intellectual property laws. Custom fanart inspired by ideas submitted by our customers is designed in accordance with these principles, ensuring that each creation is an original artistic reinterpretation.
15.1 Modifications to the Initial Idea
Fanarts created from customers' ideas are substantially transformed to ensure that they are unique. These creations will never be exact reproductions of copyrighted works, but rather original works inspired by the submitted idea.
15.2 Customer Liability
The client warrants that the submitted idea does not violate any intellectual property rights, including copyrights and trademarks. In the event of any dispute related to the intellectual property of the submitted idea, the client assumes full responsibility.
15.3 Respect for Original Creations
If the idea submitted by the client includes copyrighted elements, Dilya's Art will ensure that the resulting creations are sufficiently modified to respect the rights of the original creators. We ensure that the resulting work is distinct from the original work while respecting the integrity of the initial idea submitted by the client.
In summary, our creations are always adapted to ensure their originality and compliance with copyright legislation, while remaining faithful to the creative expectations of the client.
16. Necessary Authorizations
Dilya's Art mainly offers the creation of personalized inspired fanarts , which are original works, transformed and adapted from the ideas submitted by customers, while respecting intellectual property rights.
16.1 Custom Inspired Fanarts
When the client submits an idea for a custom inspired fanart, no special permission is required, as the work will be substantially transformed, thus ensuring that it does not constitute copyright infringement. The client is therefore free to submit any idea without needing to prove third-party permission, as long as the idea adheres to the principles of original creation.
16.2 Fanarts without Substantial Modifications
If the customer wishes to create fanart without substantial modification of a copyrighted work (for example, an exact reproduction of a character or specific element of a copyrighted work), they must provide the necessary permissions for the use of that work. These permissions include:
- Written permission from the copyright holder (creator, publisher, company, etc.) to use the original work.
- Proof of agreement , such as a contract, letter, or email exchange, validating that you have permission from the rights holder.
- Commercial Licenses : If the work is used for commercial products (clothing, accessories, etc.), a commercial license is required.
- Specific conditions of use : If restrictions apply (non-commercial use, prohibition of modification, etc.), they must be specified in the authorization.
Without these permissions, we won't be able to proceed with creating the fanart without modification. Make sure you have all the necessary rights before submitting your idea to ensure a compliant and legal-free creation.
16.2.1 If the Client Does Not Have the Necessary Authorizations
In the event that the client does not have the necessary authorizations for a work without substantial modifications, Dilya's Art offers to take care of the steps to obtain the appropriate authorizations directly from the rights holders. However, it is important for the client to be aware that this process may result in significant additional delays . Obtaining the necessary authorizations from rights holders can sometimes be a long and complex process, which can significantly increase the time taken to create , finalize and put products on the site for sale.
16.2.2 Restrictions on Minors
Minors cannot submit requests for fanart without substantial modifications, as these requests require permission from a rights holder, which must be fully valid and legal. Minors, however, can submit ideas for custom inspired fanart , that is, transformed and original creations, thus respecting copyright legislation.
16.3 Customer Liability
In the event that permission is required for unmodified fanart, it is the client's responsibility to ensure that the necessary rights are obtained and proof is provided before creation begins. If these conditions are not met, Dilya's Art reserves the right not to create the requested artwork. If Dilya's Art takes steps to obtain the necessary permissions, the client should be aware that this may delay the entire creation process.
17. Limitations and Exclusivity of Works
Dilya's Art places a premium on creating unique and original works, whether custom inspired fan art, original illustrations, or other types of artistic creations. Each project is crafted in accordance with intellectual property principles and benefits from a unique artistic transformation. We offer clients the opportunity to bring their ideas to life while helping to expand the artistic universe dedicated to them.
17.1 Variants and Limited Editions
Only those who already have a creation based on their idea can request variations or limited editions. These new versions may include visual adjustments, stylistic changes, or other creative modifications while remaining faithful to the original idea. Limited editions, produced in limited quantities, offer additional exclusivity to customers by making certain works available in limited quantities.
However, access to these exclusives is subject to certain conditions , such as a minimum period of presence on the site after the publication of their first idea on the site and a number of purchases required for each type of request.
17.2 Conditions for Requesting a Variant or Limited Edition
- Duration of Presence on the Site:
The client must have at least one month of presence on the site for a variant and 3 months for a limited edition from the publication date of his first creation made by the Artist. This period begins as soon as the work resulting from his idea is put on sale and listed in the "All my creations" section of the site. The publication date of the work will serve as a reference for this condition.
- Minimum Purchase Required:
To request a variation , the customer must have made at least two purchases on the site. To request a limited edition , a minimum of eight purchases is required.
These purchases may concern any product available on the site, whether creations based on customer ideas or original creations from Dilya's Art.
- Mandatory Credit:
To request a variation or limited edition, the customer must be credited on the site for the initial idea for the work. Anyone who has submitted an idea but does not wish to be credited will not be able to make such a request . This condition is in place to ensure that people who actively contributed and authorized the use of their idea receive the privileges associated with variations and limited editions.
These conditions are in place to ensure that only those who are actively involved and supportive of the site can take advantage of the opportunity to create variations and limited editions. This prevents abuse and ensures that demand for these exclusive creations comes from genuinely engaged customers.
Important: Once a first request for a variant or limited edition has been validated, the customer will have to wait 4 months before submitting a new request, whether for a variant or a limited edition. This rule ensures balanced management of exclusives and ensures rotation of creations on the site.
17.2.1 Minors and Request for Variants or Limited Editions
If a minor wishes to request variations or a limited edition of their creation, it is necessary that members of their family (father, mother, legal guardian) have already made the required purchases on the site, in order to activate this option. Friends or other outsiders will not be accepted in this context.
Additionally, to ensure compliance and prevent abuse, detailed checks will be conducted to validate the eligibility of requests. This process is in place to ensure that minors comply with the purchasing conditions and that their requests are legal and appropriate. The process may take additional time to ensure that legal requirements are fully met.
17.3 Customer Acknowledgment and Availability of Works
Customers whose ideas inspired a creation are credited on the site to acknowledge their contribution. Regarding variants and limited editions, variants may be offered in limited or unlimited quantities depending on available stock, while limited editions remain strictly limited in number. Once the maximum quantity for a limited edition is reached, no new reproductions will be made. This guarantees buyers increased exclusivity and rarity, thus reinforcing the value of the works.
17.4 Choice of Supports and Categories for Ideas
A creation can be presented on multiple media, provided it is an original work created by Dilya's Art. For creations based on ideas submitted by clients, clients have the option to choose the media on which their work will be applied. When submitting an idea via the form, clients can select media from the following categories:
- Head
- High
- Down
- Accessories
- Shoes
- Home & Decor
Each category offers specific subcategories. It's important to note that for each category chosen, the customer can only select one subcategory. For example, if they choose "Top," they must choose from the available subcategories (such as "T-shirt," "Jacket," etc.), but they cannot select multiple subcategories within the same category.
This system allows for better organization of requests and ensures that each creation is adapted to the chosen medium while respecting the available options.
17.4.1 Selection of Support by the Artist in the Event of Non-Choice by the Client
If a client does not complete the form by selecting a specific medium or chooses not to specify one, Dilya's Art reserves the right to choose a medium suitable for the creation, based on the work and its characteristics. In this case, the artist will choose the most appropriate medium without having the obligation to inform the client, although this can be done if necessary. The choice of medium will be made based on the work, the style, and the best options available to ensure optimal presentation.
17.4.2 Limited Liability for Media Incompatibility
Dilya's Art undertakes to do its best to adapt each creation to the medium chosen by the client, but cannot be held responsible if a requested medium cannot be used or applied to a creation due to its technical characteristics, the nature of the work or other unforeseen constraints.
Although Dilya's Art makes every effort to ensure that the final result meets the client's expectations, it may happen that certain media are not compatible with certain creations, whether due to material, technical, or other limitations. In this case, the artist will make every effort to offer an alternative solution while maintaining the quality of the work.
18. Ownership of Creations
The creations made by Dilya's Art, whether directly inspired by ideas submitted by clients or entirely created by the artist, remain the exclusive property of Dilya's Art. Although the client may propose ideas and be credited for their inspiration, the work itself remains the property of the artist.
When the customer purchases a work, it is acquired solely for personal use. The buyer may not use the work for commercial purposes, nor reproduce, distribute, sell, modify or derive new works based on it. The work is therefore intended solely for private use and may not under any circumstances be exploited for income-generating activities, such as the sale of derivative products or use in commercial projects.
Even if the initial idea for the work was proposed by the client, this does not confer any intellectual property rights on the creation itself. Dilya's Art retains all copyrights relating to the work, including the rights of reproduction, broadcast, modification and distribution. The artist may also use the work for promotional, marketing or publication purposes, online or offline, without requesting additional permission from the client.
In summary, the purchase of the work by the customer constitutes only a license for personal use and does not transfer any ownership rights to the work, the commercial and artistic rights remaining entirely with Dilya's Art.
18.1 Use of Created Works
The works created by Dilya's Art, whether inspired by ideas submitted by clients or entirely designed by the artist, are intended solely for the client's personal use. The buyer may use the work for personal reasons such as displaying it in their home, but may not use it for commercial purposes without obtaining express permission from Dilya's Art.
Commercial use includes, but is not limited to, the reproduction, redistribution, sale, or creation of derivative works based on the work. Any modification, distribution, or reproduction of the work in any form is strictly prohibited without the prior consent of Dilya's Art.
The customer agrees to comply with the specified terms of use and not to violate the copyrights related to the work. Any unauthorized use of the creations may result in legal action, including prosecution for violation of intellectual property rights. Dilya's Art reserves the right to take the necessary measures to protect its creations and ensure that its copyrights are respected.
18.2 Compliance with Legal and Ethical Standards
Dilya's Art is committed to respecting all laws and regulations in force when creating and exploiting the works, particularly in terms of copyright, as well as the ethical principles that guide its work, such as respect and integrity. The client is also required to respect these same standards when using the works created.
In the event of non-compliance with these principles, Dilya's Art reserves the right to suspend or terminate the use of the work, or even to take appropriate legal measures to protect its rights and ensure respect for its creations.
19. Right of modification and suspension
Dilya's Art reserves the right to modify or adjust the work or medium according to creative needs or technical constraints. These modifications may concern either the drawing itself (adjustments of style, composition, etc.) or the medium (type of product, size, etc.). If a modification is deemed necessary, the client will be informed of the proposed changes and may accept them or request additional adjustments.
In the event that a major problem occurs during the creation or production of the work (technical problems, inability to adapt the product to the request, etc.), Dilya's Art also reserves the right to temporarily suspend the request or pause the creation. In the event of suspension or pause, the customer will be informed of the reasons and an alternative solution may be proposed. The request will only be resumed when the problem is resolved.
20. Protection of personal data
Dilya's Art attaches particular importance to the protection of the personal data of its visitors and customers. The information collected during orders or navigation on our site is processed in compliance with the regulations in force and is only used to ensure the management of orders, improve the user experience and, if you have consented, send you promotional offers.

21. Disputes
In the event of a disagreement regarding an order (for example: item not received, damaged product, order error), we favor an amicable resolution. The customer is invited to contact us quickly in order to find a suitable solution.
Dilya's Art acts as an intermediary between the customer and its suppliers. Depending on the nature of the dispute, we may either manage the claim directly or refer the customer to the supplier concerned if the latter is responsible for the problem (e.g. late delivery, manufacturing defect).
If no amicable agreement is reached, the customer may contact a consumer mediator, in accordance with the regulations in force. You can consult the list of approved mediators on the official website of consumer mediators.
Disputes not resolved amicably will be submitted to the competent courts in accordance with the applicable law mentioned in our general conditions of sale.
22. Applicable law and competent jurisdiction
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are governed by French law. Any question relating to the interpretation, execution or validity of these General Terms and Conditions will be submitted to the competent courts located within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal of Île-de-France.
