A great big “Thank you!” to

By commissioning me (AmplePear) you agree to ALL of the Terms and Conditions. (10/10/2015 – Present; Updated 1/20/16)
--All inquiries MUST be made through private notes or messages.
--I will not begin work on any inquiry until payment has been issued. (See Payment/Cancellation)
--Please use the following form to provide thorough descriptions of what you would like:

Additional information (Optional):
--Payment is due within 3 days of being confirmed for a commission slot. If payment has not been received within that time, then that spot will be forfeit.* I want avoid turning away potential commissioners once my plate gets full; taking a spot without paying for your piece is not only unfair to me, but also to those I have to turn away.
--No part of the piece will be started before payment has cleared.
--I accept Paypal only. No exceptions.
--No Refunds will be returned on pieces that have been started.
--I reserve the right to change my prices as I see fit. Commissions in progress will not be affected by the price changes.
--I have the right to cancel your commission at any time, for any reason that I see fit. If the commission has not reached the stage for which you have paid, the difference will be returned to you (ie. If you have paid for a full colored piece but I have only gotten to the line work, I will refund you the difference. You will not get your money back for the lines, since I have already done that work).
--I reserve the right to stream pieces at my discretion.
--If you do not want your piece streamed, you may opt-out in the commission form under Streaming Opt-Out.
--Requests to work on a piece only while streaming will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but I reserve the right to refuse such a request.
--I will do my best to accommodate requested streaming times for Commissioners, but I reserve the right to refuse to stream because of time conflicts.
--Know what you want. Have references (written, visual,or both) ready before work begins on your piece. If I have to do the legwork for you I will charge a research fee.***
--Major changes will be allowed while a piece is in the sketch phase only ( ie, pose, positioning, etc.). I do contact you throughout the art process for a reason, and if you give the go-ahead to start the lining/coloring process for a sketch, then you are agreeing to what has been drawn. Minor changes will still be made before the piece is finalized.
--Please be available to discuss works-in-progress in a reasonable amount of time. I understand that life can get pretty crazy, but in order to get your piece to you as quickly as I can, I do need to be able to contact you to make sure there are no changes that need to occur.
--Do not take my ideas to another artist. I generally sketch out rough ideas, and in some cases help a commissioner create an idea a while before their piece comes up to be finalized. If I find out you have taken these ideas and/or rough sketches to someone else, you will be removed from my commission list and refunded the difference in work done, including a consultation fee.
--Commissions will be done in the order I see fit. It is not a first-pay/first-up basis unless otherwise noted.
--By commissioning me, you agree that you own full rights to all characters, settings, objects, etc., or have permission to use them from whomever does own them.
--Reposting your commission to your account is allowed. Please post a link back to the original artwork, or post credit (with a link to my profile) in your description.
--I retain the copyright, including the rights to reproduce the original artwork, distribute/repost the image elsewhere and use it in my portfolio or for self-promotion.
--Distribution Licenses will be considered on a case by case basis.
--I retain the right to post the artwork that I create, unless otherwise specified that the commissioner would prefer to keep it a private piece. Please state before completion of you intend on keeping the piece private.
--You have 1 month from the completion of the piece for minor changes to be made on a case by case basis.**
--I try to get all owed pieces done within the month that the commission is taken, but sometimes this is not possible. Time frames for pieces are truly case by case, and as a general rule please allow up to 3 months for a piece to be finished.
--Update requests are welcome, but please keep the number of requests reasonable.
--I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time.
--I reserve the right to work on personal art at my discretion.
--I retain full rights to the artwork. You may not distribute the piece for Commercial Purposes, you may not take credit for the artwork and claim it as created by you. If you repost the art, written credit and link-back is mandatory. If you have questions about this please contact me.
--No other ToS will override mine for my artwork. Please be aware of this and, if you cannot comply, please do not commission.
*I know sometimes things happen that are out of our control, so if the payment will be more than the 3 days, please contact me to work out the details. If this becomes a reoccurring issue, then I will be forced to hold you to the 3 day limit with no exceptions.
** Generally, if I have to change the linework there will be a fee, but something like eye color, for example, can be done for free. However, as stated earlier, this is a case by case basis.
***Not applicable to Wing-its, YCH, or themed pieces

--ONE STRIKE POLICY: You will get ONE warning. And that is it. If you continue to be problematic* you WILL be removed.
