Terms of Service for celestial-panda
Please review these terms carefully before commissioning me.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
- I reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or postpone your commission for whatever reason, provided I give you written warning of cancellations or holds.
- I reserve the right to repost your image on art galleries and other websites unless you wish to remain anonymous.
- You may not use my artwork for personal financial gain, commercial products, etc without a written agreement.
- You have the right to revisions (up to 2 rounds before additional charges apply), but you, the commissioner, hold the responsibility of asking for revisions BEFORE the piece is completed.
- DO NOT note or otherwise message me repeatedly for commission progress (twice a day or more).
- Deadlines are acceptable, but only within reason. Deadlines may be discussed over private messages. DO NOT COMMISSION LARGE, LAST MINUTE PROJECTS WITH A DEADLINE OF 2 WEEKS OR SHORTER.
- Unless a deadline is settled upon, works in the queue will be completed in order paid. All commissions, no matter the type, will be queued in this manner.
- Critique is welcome; criticism is not. Please give a helpful comment of what can be done better. Insulting, disrespecting or degrading me and my work will result in a possible cancellation of commission and refusal of future service.
- You will receive a high resolution version of your commission, with and without watermarks (if the image is digital).
- Finally, this is not my full time job. I am a college student with classes and other priorities that come before commissions. Please do not contact me about the status of your commission if I have said there will be a slow period. It will get done. If it does not, you will be refunded for the work that was not yet completed.
BEFORE COMMISSIONING ME:
- Have your affairs in order. Do not send a message about reserving adoptables or a commission slot without having your money ready.
- For the highest quality piece, do not rush or demand for your piece to be first or completed faster. If you have a set date that you want it by, please request a discussion about deadlines.
ADOPTABLES & DESIGN COMMISSIONS:
- Upon purchase completion, you are the current copyright holder of the design commission or adoptable and reserve full rights to the use of the design.
- You MAY resell the design; you may not sell the design for more than what you paid me for it.
- First come, first served. I will not hold an adoptable for you for longer than a day.
- When reposting the image I’ve drawn of the design to your account, please credit back to me for the art.
- You only need to credit me once for the design; after that, it’s permanently yours unless you resell it (this in turn relinquishes your copyright hold).
SUBJECT MATTER:
I will not draw Not Safe For Work art of any kind. End of story.
I also will not draw cub or diaper fur art. I'm sorry, the art is cute, but I will not draw it.
PAYMENT, TERMS & REFUNDS:
- Payment method is Paypal USD ONLY. Cash in the mail, checks, or money orders are not accepted.
- Payment must be received and confirmed before work begins or you receive the adoptable.
- If your payment is particularly large or for multiple pieces of artwork, an agreement of payment-per-stage may be drafted.
- Haggling is acceptable, within reason.
- Once the work is started or complete on your commission, full refunds are not accepted.
- If the commission is cancelled by myself or the commissioner, they will be refunded the unfinished portion and receive the work in the state it’s in.
COPYRIGHT & OWNERSHIP:
- I retain copyright to the image. You may not trace, copy, or redistribute the image I give to you. I, and only I, can make reproductions, sell prints, use in my portfolio, or upload to off-site galleries. You may purchase the copyright for an additional price.
- You retain the copyright of your character. While I can alter and redistribute the specific work, I do not have access to your characters for future use or profit without your permission.
- The commissioner owns the physical object (if the commission is in physical media) and reserves the right to do what they wish with this object (e.g.: frame it; alter it; draw on it; step on it). You may do whatever you wish with your personal copy except trace, upload as your own, redistribute, or publish for personal financial gain.
- You may upload the image to your gallery, with my permission, provided that you credit the image back to me. You may also use my work for on and off-site icons, banners, and graphics with permission and due credit.
- You may not remove my watermarks. You may not post images of mine to your gallery without my watermarks.
