POLICIES | THE WHITE BENCH

UPDATED AUGUST 2024

My artworks and photographs are registered within the Copyright Office, Library of Congress, USA, and protected under US and International Copyright Laws.

Play nice. Don’t copy. Shine your light. Tell your own story.

You can’t distribute my e-courses and workshops, e-books and workbooks, and any of my printables and work, in any form, in any way. You cannot create derivative work based upon my courses, workbooks, e-books, and any of my work. My full Copyright Notice comes with every purchase: please read it carefully to avoid Copyright infringements.

You can share brief quotations from my courses, e-books and workbooks for reviews. (Thank you, by the way! :))

I make a living with my creativity, thank you for being respectful of my work, time, energy & copyright.

Ad-free website

I’m sorry I don’t accept any sponsored post, guest writer submission, giveaway, products to review- or requests to promote anything. Please note I’m unable to give my attention and respond to this type of emails.

I don’t have affiliates. The only links external to my website are to websites or products I like or use or want to share with my readers- and I don’t earn any commission for that.

Magazines, Publishers & guest posting

I am always more than happy to share my love, JOY and passion as much as possible. For magazines, I’m currently available to write articles about my topics, and can provide professional photography. For publishers, please feel free to write me if you think we could collaborate for exciting projects.

If you have a Blog, no matter how big or small, and you’re interested in my topics, I’m glad to guest post (subject to my business + self- care schedule, of course!).

Please get in contact via the “contact” page in the navigation bar.

Privacy

Your contact and private informations are used solely for service purposes (for shipping/delivery of originals or items purchased in my shop, to contact you in case there are problems with your orders, if you subscribe to my newsletter to receive it in your inbox, to respond to your communications if you write me) and tax purposes (in receipts, for my business taxes). I do not share any of your information with third parties (except for tax purposes, since I’m obliged by law to do that). I may also be obliged by law to disclose data if I receive a request from an appropriate authority.

When you buy one of my products on my website, you pay through Paypal (whether you have an account or just use a card). I do not have access to your financial informations whatsoever. I simply collect payments from Paypal, and use the email address you provide for receipts, delivery, and service communications.

I don’t use analytics to track visitor’s interaction with my site.

My website hosting provider provides all the latest technology to run my website efficiently and securely.

All the information and content on this website is meant for individuals over the age of 18. Kids may use my patterns and tutorials, journaling cards and stickers under the supervision of an adult.

Shop

All the material in my shop is for personal use only, and cannot be reproduced in any way (even repainting in different colors is a Copyright infringement) or distributed for any reason. You cannot create derivative work based upon my e-courses, workshops, e-books, printables, art, and any of my work.

I share myself abundantly and from the heart, and I make a living with my art and creativity. I expect you to be correct and play nice. Thank you.

All sales are final. Please buy mindfully. Because of the digital nature of my products, they are instantly downloaded after checkout and cannot be returned, so I’m sorry I cannot offer refunds. Because of Copyright protection and practical reasons, I do NOT accept returns nor do refunds for original paintings as well. Nonetheless, I want you to be happy with your purchase! Therefore, please get in contact immediately if there are problems with your order, and we’ll sort it out.

Italian customers

At the moment, I don’t sell to Italy.

Thanks for your understanding.
