I had someone ask of me to create them a logo (for free) for their organization, by email. They specifically asked for five horse heads in the logo. In return they promised to advertise my name with my artwork. I replyed using two emails stating I would do this but my contact info. of my emails address or web site must be advertised as well, that I would need a written & signed personal guarantee of this promise (not just an email), and that I can not use copyright protected photos to go by unless they are acomanied with written permission by the photographer. They basically agreed to this in their next email.
Well I finally received photos 1 1/2 months later, no personal guarantee, and the photos are obviousely copyright protected, and with the photos a letter directing me to create seven heads in the logo. She also wants the finished product of a logo and painting in two to three weeks.
My question is this a contract? If so can I get out of it? I didn't think to put a time limit in my first acceptance email. I want out because I can't create that fast, don't want to infringe on copyrights, and I have a feeling I won't be properly advertised with the artwork. I feel since the photos are copyright protected that makes this aggreement illegal and void. Is her promise by email to advertise for me good enough consideration to make this a valid contract?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
