Latius' Terms of Services

Last Updated: 20th May, 2021

---

TLDR version:

1) I reserve the right to cancel a commission for valid reasons before any payments are made.

2) Depending on the commission, I may ask for payment upfront. Large batches can be split up, but I will only work on what's been paid for.

3) Refunds are based on how much work is left. Lying about ownership of the linework will mean no refunds for you and being put on Artist's Beware.

4) You can post the finished work almost anywhere with credit given. I will also post it unless you don't want me to.

5) Quoted prices are final.

6) You can pay through PayPal or KoFi

7) I will aim to complete work as soon as possible.

8) There are limits on reselling artwork I make, including no crypto of NFTs allowed.

All commissions, be they writing or artwork, which I take will follow these terms. By getting a commission from me, you hereby agree to these terms.

1) Before any payments are made, I reserve the right to deny a commission request which I feel I would be unable to do so, or which would be something I wouldn't want to do. I also reserve the right to refuse a colouration commission if I am either unable to get in touch with the original artist of the sketch/linework you want to be coloured in, or if I can and they state that you don't have the permission to ask me to colour it in. Finally, I reserve the right to decline a request from 'empty' accounts with no PFP, no images posted and no faves.

2) Regarding payments: For basic colouration and YORS/YCH commissions, payment will be required upfront. For Minecraft skins and stories (as well as commissions in which I do the sketch work once I am ready to take those commissions on), payment does not need to be made until the skin, the rough draft of the story, or the sketch work is approved. For large commissions, instalments can be offered as a payment plan, although I will only work on stuff already paid for fully.

3) Regarding refunds:
3a) If I find that I can't complete the work to my own satisfaction after being paid, I will offer a refund based on how much I have actually done, as well as providing the work which I have done.
3b) If, at any time after paying, you decide you don't want the commission, I will offer a refund based on how much work I have done already.
3c) If I find out that any linework or the like you have provided is something you don't have permission to use (that is, it's not a free template that anyone can use, and the artist who did said lineart tells me that you don't have permission for it) after you have paid, no refunds will be offered to you, and you run the risk of being noted as a commissioner to be wary about through https://artistsbeware.info/ - so please, make sure that the original artist can be contacted by me so that you don't fall foul of this. If this happens, the money I will give to the original artist.
3d) Once the work is completed and approved, no refunds will be offered past that point on that work.
3e) If the image you did uses one of BD's templates, then any surcharges intended to be sent to him can not be refunded.

4) You are free to post the finished works on your social media so long as you give credit back to me. You are also allowed to post the works on E621 and similar sites, again so long as I am credited with creating the work along with any artists who did the linework of sketches if required. Meanwhile, I will post finished commissions on my FA page and potentially my Twitter and/or Ko-Fi pages, unless otherwise asked not to when the commission is made - doing so may include a 20% Privacy Surcharge, capped at $10.

5) Discounts are only provided either as part of the details of any commission price sheets provided or to friends. These discounts will be applied after any other extra fees are taken into account. Please do not beg for a discount, or attempt to haggle the price down, as any quoted prices are final.

6) Payments are to be made through PayPal, either as an invoice or through my PayPal.me link, https://www.paypal.me/lativee - or through Ko-Fi's Commission Shop. If you are unable to pay by either way, I may reject your commission request as a result.

7) With colouration commissions and YORS/YCH works, I aim to complete work within a week. Stuff with sketches may take an extra week to complete fully. With written work, I aim to do so within two weeks, but it may take longer if I end up having a bit of writer's block, but I would try to have something finished within a month.

8) If selling artwork which you got from me, you are not allowed to sell it for more than what you paid for it unless I give permission - if I do, I may ask for a portion of any profits you might make, and if BD created the template, as per his ToS, a portion of the profits will also have to be sent to him. Also, I will not accept anyone selling my artwork using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, or making an NFT of my artwork.
