Terms of Agreement for Commissioners
8 years ago
Attention commissioners!
The following outlines my rules, regulations, and preferences for commissioned work.
Prices:
Prices for commissioned work vary based upon the details of said work. I base my price on a minimum charge of $10.00 USD per hour. More complicated pieces may cost more. Each price quote is based on the details of the individual commission.
Ratings Available:
Any rating. G-X
Content:
Most content is ok, if in doubt ask.
I will NOT draw the following: genital mutilation, pedophilia featuring underage characters in sexual situations, rape (this includes both forcible rape and "date" rape but doesn't include rape play, rape fantasy, or rough sex that looks like rape), scat, corprophilia, menstruation as a fetish, watersports, adult babies and diaper play, inflation, crushing, or extreme medical fetishism.
Payment:
For small commissions, payment in full is required before work will be completed. Large commissions require half to be paid up front as a down payment. If the piece is really large, I would be willing to work out a payment schedule for the remaining balance. If you wish to negotiate the terms of payment, and have a decent history of commissioning and have artists willing to vouch for your reliability, I will consider your offer and be open to discussion.
I will accept the following forms of payment: PayPal, bank certified check, or cash. Work will NOT be started until verification is obtained and funds clear.
Counterfeits & forgeries will be turned over to the police. Any checks that fail to clear the bank for any reason will be turned over to Statewide Collections, Inc. with a $30.00 service fee. As I live in Wyoming, this state's collection laws WILL apply to unpaid items. To be clear: Wyo Statute 1-1-115 states that unpaid checks triple to no less than $130.00 if unpaid for over 30 days. The agency is allowed to and is capable of filing suit for unpaid checks, should they remain unpaid.
If you choose to pay via PayPal, payments must NOT contain any reference to the purpose of the payment, and all communications regarding the commission must take place outside of PayPal.
PayPal is notorious for banning accounts for references to donations, gifts, charity, furry art, adult content, pornography, etc. If you are purchasing digital art from me, list the payment as a service, not a purchase. If you list it as a purchase, I have a legal obligation to physically mail you a product. Digital commissions NOT paid for as a service through Pay Pal will be rejected and the money refunded.
Delivery:
Persons purchasing a traditional media commission will receive the original artwork.
Persons purchasing a digital media commission will be emailed or sent through IM a high quality version of the work they purchased. High resolution files will not be released until the artwork has been approved, and all payments have been received.

Updates:
Regular updates on your commission are available. Updates are frequent, usually every couple of days unless otherwise specified.
Behavior:
I am a friendly person, but the purchase of a commission is a business transaction. It is NOT an invitation to roleplay, it is not the beginning of an intimate relationship, and it is most definitely not an excuse for you to hit on me. Please keep communications professional and appropriate. If you have a problem with me OR my work ethic (or even my work itself) please take it up with me in a private forum (email, notes, IM) and don't drag yourself through the proverbial mud and take me with you. It's embarrassing to yourself as well as to me.
Refunds:
The first payment on a two part payment (or more) commission, is to be considered a nonrefundable deposit to begin work.
If I have begun work on your commission, and you would like a refund, please inform me. Depending on your circumstances/reasons we may be able to work out an alternate payment plan if you have need of one.
If I have not started on work, and you request a refund, it will be given without question.
Rights:
As an artist, I have the right to be treated courteously. I have the right to make a fair wage for my work. I retain the copyright for my work. I retain the right to post it online or include it in my portfolio. I agree that you own the work you purchased and will not use any commissioned artwork for prints or other merchandise.
As a customer, you have the right to receive prompt, fair service. You also have the right to be treated courteously. You have the right to distribute but not alter my work, provided you give me credit for it. You have the right to upload it to your websites, display it on your wall, and show it off to your friends. You do not, however, have the right to use said commissioned work to manufacture merchandise (such as prints, t-shirts, posters, coffee mugs) and sell them for profit UNLESS you specifically negotiate for this intention when you initially approach me for commission. Prices will be adjusted accordingly. You also retain the rights to your own character. I realize that just because I draw your character doesn't mean I have any rights to reproduce artwork of that character. I do however retain the right to display work in my gallery that I have been commissioned to do, unless agreed to otherwise.
Purchase of artwork or commissions by me is deemed acceptance of these terms and conditions, and furthermore implies agreement to the oral contract these terms lay out.
