Commissions & Adoptables TOS
Updated: Feb 2016: Cut the fat and reworded some things, nothing drastic has changed, I just tried to be less verbose.


By sending payment, you agree to these terms whether you have read them or not.

---

Payment Info & Conditions

---

-Payment is due in full before I begin work

-You must be 18 or older to commission me.

-I accept PayPal only. YOU must own the account you are paying from. _{(Don't use your parents or siblings' account for example)}

-I will not accept commissions from customers within the EU. _{(This is ONLY Due to really weird EU tax laws, sorry!)}

-I reserve the right to decline a commission request for any reason.

-I reserve the right to cancel a commission due to rude, inappropriate behavior, lack of communication, or inability to communicate in English. I will give the commissioner a partial refund, and retain payment equal to work already completed, the commissioner will receive no artwork.

-I do not give refunds once I have started work, with the exception of the above situation.

-All commission prices are starting prices only, and go up depending on complexity. (I will quote you a final price once we discuss the details of your commission request.)

---

My Workflow & 'The Queue'!

---

-I don't work on commissions on Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday. *1

-I work on commissions in the order that they are taken. First in, first out, first come, first served.

-I will start work on a com after yours in my queue only if I need to get ahold of you for approval of some aspect of your com and you aren't able to get back to me quickly. _{(Other reasons things might be finished slightly out of order is that I work on digital and real media artwork at different times.)}

-My queue/work list is 'private' atm
_{(Only because I'm TERRIBLE about constantly updating any online list} But feel free to ask me AT ANY TIME where your commission is in my queue/how many people are ahead of you!

-When you commission me I will give you a rough estimate of when I will start work on your com/when you can expect it to be completed. *2

-If your commission is a gift with a deadline, like a birthday gift, tell me the deadline WHEN you commission me, to make sure I am able to deliver the art on time! (If your commission is a gift/surprise, PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you DON'T want me to post it, as I routinely share WIPs on Twitter, Insta, and Facebook. I can refrain from posting until after a requested date if asked.)

---

Communication

---

-I DO send sketches for your approval for every commission! You can ask for small changes at that time. If changes need to be made, I will send you an updated sketch for approval after I have made them.

-Please give me a method of communication where you can get back to me quickly! I have email, skype, facebook notes, FA notes, Twitter, and Instagram, so whatever method works best for you that you are able to respond to the quickest is fine by me! *3

Receiving your finished commission!

---

-Real media artwork such as badges will be mailed to you by USPS. I will tell you the date I put it in the mail.

-I am not responsible for lost or stolen mail and will not mail replacements.

-Make sure to give me a secure/trusted address if your commission is being mailed to you! *4

---

Adoptables

---

-Please DO post artwork you commission from me with credit! (A link to my FA or www.Rosenightshade.com is fine)

-Payment is due within 24 hours after claiming/ending of the auction, no exceptions. Do not claim/bid if you are not able to pay within 24 hours. If you do not pay within this timeframe the adopt will be relisted for sale.

-All auctions are timezone: -5hours GMT EST Florida

-Do not resell any adoptables for more than you bought them, unless you are selling them with extra goodies like badges or art.

-Do not edit any adoptables you buy from me and then try to resell them as a different design or as a child of the adopt. Dat's just rude.

---

Who owns the finished artwork???

---

-I retain all rights to the artwork & you retain all rights to your character.

-By commissioning me you are not buying the rights to the artwork, only the production of it, and the right to own personal copies.

-Commissioned artwork can be used for personal use only. Wallpapers, prints for YOURSELF (not to sell), cropped versions of for icons, etc. but you cannot, for example, use it to make prints or buttons, etc, or redistribute and sell the artwork to make a profit yourself in any way.

-I retain the right to display the commissioned artwork on any current or future website, gallery, etc. I also retain all rights to the artwork including the right to make prints and merchandise.

-Any rejected sketches and other forms of preliminary artwork remain my property and may be used for any future commissions or personal work.

---

Will/Won't Draw

---

Will draw: Chibis, humans, animals, most non-sexually explicit fetishes, avians & dragons, small elements of gore, SMALL mechanical/armor elements, mythical creatures, micro, nudity
-I CAN draw your Fursona based only on a written description but there will be a design fee added to the cost if you have no visual references.

Won't draw: Heavy mechanical/armor design, heavy gore, excessive violence(judged on a case by case basis), scat, water sports, 'dark' or extremely creepy themed stuff, minors in any sexual situation, hateful images(racism, etc). Sona's that are not your own (unless it is gift art)

If you have any questions about anything here, please don't hesitate to ask!


Extra/Further explanations for some of the things above, for those curious:

*1_{It's the only time I get to see my boyfriend because we live almost two hours away from each other, so we spend the weekends together. Or on Holidays, for the same reason. :)}

*2_{If you are curious about how long it might be before I get to yours at any time AFTER you've already commissioned me, feel free to send me a message, it doesn't bother me at all. :3}

*3 _{FYI to people who commission me at cons, I don't keep any phone numbers after I have cleared someone from my commission queue, for the sake of courtesy/privacy.)}

*4 _{Even IF the worst happens and your commission gets lost in the mail, real media commissioners are emailed a high res scan of the finished artwork, so you WILL have your pic!}
