TERMS OF SERVICE FOR COMMISSIONS
If you want to hire me for a personal commission please remember to go over the following terms of service. My TOS is to provide both the customer and I with a secure and honest transaction of any art commission.
Any customer who rejects the terms below then gives me the right to refuse service.
01
General terms & Content -
-
Prices are subject to change based on demand.
-
I have the right to reject or cancel any commission due to poor communication, rude/inappropriate behavior, an inability to effectively communicate in English, a refusal to heed Terms of Service, or if anything important comes up in my personal life.
-
I will not create any depiction of sexually abusive or illegal content material (i.e. any depiction of a non-consented act, or such between characters not of legal age), fetishes/kinks, or any form of offensive imagery.
-
Dishonesty about another person's consent will result in a blacklist.
-
Refusal in paying will result in a loss of ALL rights on commission and customer will be blacklisted.
02
Payment -
-
Accepted currency is USD and can be paid through PayPal or Venmo. Currencies can always be converted, but price may vary if that's the case.
-
Commissions can be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch is approved.
-
Don't send me payments before an agreement has been settled. There will be no refunds if this mistake occurs.
-
Payments do NOT include exposure, must be actual money via Paypal or Venmo. Offering to pay with exposure will result with an immediate rejection.
03
Process & delivery
-
The time it takes to complete your commission varies from 1 week - 1 month depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, supplementary work, and other contributing factors.
-
Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image without any watermarks. The signature will remain. Note that there will not be any physical product. If you wish to have a physical product then you can print it out, or have a friend/relative do so.
04
Revisions -
-
Three free changes on the sketch are allowed, if customer asks for anymore changes then the fee will go up to 2-5$ depending on the complexity. Sketches are the best time to ask for changes because it's easier for both the artist and the customer.
-
Changes wanting to be made on lineart or flat-colored versions will go up to 6-10$ fees. Only 3 changes are allowed.
-
If you wish for me to change something in the sketch you have previously approved, I will charge an extra fee to fix.
-
NO complex changes are allowed on the final product, if it is a simple change it can be negotiated. It is not my, the artist's, fault if you did not speak up beforehand during the process.
-
The amount of the extra charge in fees depends on the complexity, what part of the production I'm in, and is usually based on an hourly wage.
-
Note if you refuse to pay the fee then the production will be canceled. Rights to the commission will be revoked.
06
Cancelation & refund policy -
-
If order is canceled before I begin, you will receive full refund.
-
For any reason, if I am unable to begin or complete your commission you will secure a full refund no matter how far into the process I am.
-
50% refund is allowed if you cancel on the sketch part of production. If the lineart starts, you are no longer allowed to receive refunds.
-
If piece has been finished and you cancel then ask for a refund then I have the right to refuse. It's up to you to cancel when you have the opportunity. I will not be at fault for your miscommunication or lack of responsibility.
-
If you are obtaining a refund, do not request a PayPal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
-
If you request a PayPal chargeback at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all beforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the chargeback and supply PayPal with our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.
07
Communication -
