payment must be sent upfront through paypal, or after a sketch is approved by the commissioner. payment must be sent in full, unless the cost is above $300, at which point a payment plan of half before and half later will be allowed.
once a work is started, no refunds will be given. the only exception to this is following extraneous circumstances where the artist is unable to finish the commission, in which case the piece will be refunded in full.
the commissioner understands and accepts that the initial price may fluctuate depending on the complexity of a piece. the final price will be discussed prior to payment, however, and will not be changed at all during the artistic process once it has been settled upon and paid.
the commissioner understands that the work they order is only for private use and cannot be used for commercial use unless discussed prior to commissioning, and understands that the price will go up accordingly.
the commissioner understands that the fee for work is non refundable, regardless if they wish to cancel and order due to personal reasons. the artist and commissioner agree, however, that the artist will attempt to recreate the commissioner's vision to the best of their ability, and as such, edits can be made at an appropriate charge. smaller edits are free, but larger edits are subjected to appropriate fees.
RIGHTS TO THE WORK
the artist retains all rights to authorship credit, and can display all work in portfolios or other related sites. non unique ( fandom related ) commissions may be used for further distribution and resale, but original and unique pieces will not be used for commercial gain by the artist.
while the commissioner is allowed to repost the work based on the artist's discretion, the commissioner understands that they must credit the artist on any site the work is displayed.
the commissioner understands that they are not allowed to alter, edit or plagiarize the artist's watermark or signature on any work they have commissioned.
the commissioner understands that they are not allowed to personally edit, trace, copy, or otherwise alter or recreate the artwork that they have received. if a commissioner is unhappy with the work, they may requests edits directly from the artist.
the commissioner understands that the creation of a NFT or other non fungible/cryptocurrency related piece of the artist's work is not allowed, nor is usage in AI.
DELIVERY AND SERVICE
the commissioner understands that they will be given multiple stages of updates from the artist, and the artist is obliged to offer updated whenever the commissioner asks for them so long as it is done in a way which cannot be deemed as harassment.
the commissioner understands that the work they will be receiving will be digital, and as such no physical copies of the work will be offered and no mailing address is necessary to include during payment.
the commissioner understands and respect's the artist's autonomy and understands that the artist has every right to refuse a commission without having to explain their reasoning.
the commissioner understands that delivery of the piece may take upwards of the six months that paypal offers for returns, as the artist is a full time uni student and works only part time, and has chronic pain issues. refunds will still be offered after this, just simply won't be given through paypal's protection, but please understand that by commissioning the artist, you may wait up to a year for a commission to be done. if this timeframe may be of issue to you, the artist advises that you do not commission them.
the commissioner may request a set delivery date, but if it's under a month's timeframe, expediting fees will apply depending on the difficulty of the piece.
