Terms of Service
6 years ago
By commissioning me in any kind of way, you are agreeing to the terms of service below.
Any statement can be bound to change if discussed with me, Kuro, prior to the commission.
Terms of Service
These terms of service (ToS) apply to any work between Kuro (the artist) and you (the
customer) upon agreeing to hire the artist for the work defined (the commission).
The binding ToS is the version published as of the date of hire.
Changes to the ToS are discussable on a commission basis between the artist and the customer and
are valid only in written form.
Disclaimer: I do not own the models i use. The models i do use for the ponies are currently beta test models that are being converted from the SFM ponies to blender.
I will not share them in any way.
I : General Terms
Any commission requires a specification by the customer.
A specification consists of:
- A visual reference and/or a clear, written description of the character(s) in question
- A clear, written description of the scene requested (unless left to the artist)
I hold the right to decline any commission request or to cancel any started commission by
fully refunding the customer without the need for a reason.
Commissions are public unless requested by the customer. Public commission allow me to
publicly post work in progress versions or livestream progress on the work.
II : Payment
Payment is required fully and up front.
Payment is accepted through PayPal only and payable within 48 hours after i invoiced the
customer through their system.
Prices can be in US Dollar (USD) or Euro (EUR)
III : Scheduling
Once details are discussed and payment is received i start to work on the piece.
Either at once or by placing the work in their queue.
The work may take up to one week to complete but may be delayed due to various reasons such as,
but not limited to, queue times, personal reasons (health and family) or advanced complexity.
The customer will be notified about any scheduling changes to their work.
The customer will receive work in progress updates from me while the work is completed. The
updates are sent to the customer at various points to confirm the work is correct. The customer may
request additional updates at any time.
IV : Satisfaction
Satisfaction of the customer is a very high priority to me.
Any mistakes made by me, that were previously discussed in the specification of the work, will
be fixed free of charge.
Minor changes missed in the specifications might be fixed free of charge depending on the
complexity.
Larger changes such as but not limited to clothing and accessories, backgrounds or poses require
additional payment as the effort required comes close to a new piece or work. This also applies to
changes that developed over time and could have been mitigated during the creation of the work
