TERMS OF SERVICE

General
SUBJECT MATTER:
I am a SAFE FOR WORK ARTIST exclusively. I will not take suggestive or adult commissions or requests. Do not inquire or press about this matter, you will be ignored.
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.
• If I feel I cannot handle the complexity of your commission or request, be prepared to be denied.
• 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 minor revisions, but you hold the responsibility of asking for revisions BEFORE the piece is completed - preferably while I am still in the sketch/lining phase. Additionally, unless I've made a grave error, I WILL NOT redraw a piece from scratch.
• If I've made a mistake on your character (e.g.: missing marking, accessory, or detail), or I have made an artistic mistake (e.g.: 6 fingers instead of 5) and did not notice until the commission was completed, all revisions are free. Please do not abuse this by adding "while you're at it" revisions.
• Do not ask for an "artistic liberty" commission unless you're willing to accept the result. I will not redraw a commission of this nature because you've disliked what I've done for you. If you have a pose or theme in mind, it is your responsibility to specify.
• You are encouraged to ask for progress on a commission, but please do not harrass me several times daily for progress. I'm a hobbyist, so my schedule and delivery is fairly erratic.
• Deadlines are acceptable, but only within reason. If you require a piece to be done by a certain date (e.g.: for a birthday), please specify in your commission request. DO NOT COMMISSION LARGE, LAST MINUTE PROJECTS WITH A DEADLINE OF 3 WEEKS OR SHORTER.
• Unless a deadline is settled upon, works in the queue will be completed in order paid. Do not make attempts to jump the queue. Any attempt at queue-jumping will result in your being barred from future commissions.
• Critique is welcome; cynical 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 upon request.
• When purchasing a gift for a friend, it is your responsibility to ensure their consent is given.
PAYMENT, TERMS & REFUNDS:
• Preferred payment method is PayPal UK. You may pay in other currencies, but please be aware that a conversion tax is applied to my payment and this may result in you needing to pay more. Cash in the mail, checks, or money orders are not accepted.
• Payment must be received and confirmed before work begins.
• The commissioner may cancel the contract for any reason, no questions asked, as long as the cancellation request is done before service completion.
• If the commission is cancelled by myself or the commissioner while the work is in the sketch phase, they will be given one of two options:
A. The commissioner will recieve a full refund, and will lose all rights to the sketch. I will then have the right to resell the artwork as I see fit (e.g.: to be used as a "YCH");
OR
B. The commissioner will recieve a partial refund, and recieve the work in the state it's in.
• Once the work is complete, you will not recieve a full or partial refund, for any reason.
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 may make edits; however, if you are fixing a mistake that is my fault, I encourage you to ask me to do it for you. That's my job!
• 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 watermark or signature. You may not post images of mine to your gallery without my watermark or signature.
