Commission Terms of Service
5 years ago
General Terms:
- I have the right to refuse any commission request for any reason
- I will not accept a commission for a song type or genre that is too far out of my capabilities (it's rather difficult for me to write a jazz piece, for example, when I don't listen to jazz and have nothing to make it with). All song types will have examples linked, so you can get a good idea of my general music style. If you're still unsure, feel free to ask!
- I cannot do vocals myself. If you want vocals on your song, you must provide them yourself. Any vocals provided must be recorded on a good microphone in as dry a room as you can manage.
- I would like to retain communication either over Notes or Discord. If communicating over Notes, WIPs will be sent via Dropbox. If over Discord, .mp3 files will be sent directly.
- I do require some artistic freedom when making songs, as not all ideas work out well in practice. However, I will always communicate when something isn't going right with the initial idea.
- I cannot guarantee a set time frame for each song, as it largely depends on what type of song it is and how things look for me IRL. However, you are always free to request an update to make sure that the commission isn't forgotten about.
- If you need a song done within a certain time frame, please communicate this from the start.
Commercial Rights:
- I retain full commercial rights over any commissioned songs created, including the right to publish, share, and distribute the song under my name, as well as adding them to any portfolios I make or releasing them as part of an album.
- You have the right to share any lossy audio files of your song (such as .mp3 and .aac) wherever you wish to. Lossless audio files (such as .wav and .flac) are for yourself only!
- When sharing my song, you must give me proper credit under my name.
- You do not have any commercial rights to the song created and may not distribute the song, take credit for it, remove my name from it, or use the song for any other commercial purpose.
- If you wish to use the song commercially, or you do not wish for me to use it commercially myself, you must purchase a commercial license along with it. This will add +50% on top of the total song price.
Payment Terms
- Pricing policy can be found in Commission Info.
- All payment will be done via PayPal, either through Goods & Services or via invoice.
- Payment is only done after the initial piano sketch is approved. Payment must come within 72 hours of approval, or you risk losing your slot.
- If you wish to cancel a song that hasn't been started, I will refund you the full amount that has already been paid. I will always notify you when a song is started.
- If you wish to cancel a song that has already been started, you will be refunded for any work that hasn't been done so far.
- If I need to cancel work on a song for whatever reason, you will be given a full refund.
- Fraudulent PayPal disputes will have you immediately blacklisted and you will be forbidden from using any of my work for any purpose. I will still hold full commercial rights to my work and may use them for my own purposes.
Payment Plans
- Commissions reaching €300 and over may be paid in installments if you cannot pay for it all up front. Details on this payment plan can be discussed in DMs
- To prevent fraud, work will only be done based on the amount of money already paid. If payment is halted or delayed, I will not continue further with the song until payment resumes.
- If you must delay payment for any reason, I require an update about this ahead of time, preferably with an estimate on how long the delay will last.
- If a month goes by without a proper update on the next payment installment, I will message and ask for an update on it. If I do not get a response within a week, your commission will be cancelled.
- If payment is delayed by three months or longer, your commission will be cancelled and you will lose your commission slot.
- If your commission is cancelled for either of the above reasons, you are not eligible for a refund based on the work already done. I will still hold commercial rights over any work done and may use it for my own purposes.
