Learn How to Use the “Work Confirmation Form”!

(“Work Confirmation Form” was created to suit the Japanese illustrator industry. Customs and laws may differ in your country. We recommend adapting it to your country's specific circumstances.)

The “Work Confirmation Form” That Protects You

When you work as an illustrator, you may encounter various kinds of trouble.

For example:

・Your work is reused without permission in media you were never told about.・You forget to ask about the fee, and when the payment is deposited, you are shocked by how low it is.・You never receive your fee, no matter how long you wait.・The client asks you to accept a lower fee than the amount that had been verbally agreed upon.・Because the period of use was not properly decided, the work continues to be used indefinitely. As a result, you cannot take on work from other competing companies.・Before you know it, you have somehow agreed to transfer your copyright.・The client later pressures you to transfer your copyright.

Unfortunately, if you work as an illustrator for many years, experiences like these are not uncommon.

Naturally, you want to avoid such problems whenever possible.

In this lesson, I will explain the “Work Confirmation Form,” which serves as a precautionary safeguard and helps protect you from trouble.
