Art Commission Terms of Service
-I am available to request on commission for the creation of specific artwork, animations, and or graphic designs. The following are terms that are entailed upon making a commission request to me:
-I reserve my right to accept or deny any request that I have been given. I will accept or deny requests based on the details of the request and or if I will be able to complete all the details of such a request at the time it was requested (i.e. If I’m not available, don’t like what you’re requesting, or for some reason don’t have the tools or ability to do everything you’re asking then I won’t accept it).
-I reserve my right to retain the copyright for all of my work. Work that I create on commission may be used and reposted by it’s requestor as long as proper credit is given, however, work commissioned from me may not be reprinted and or reproduced and be sold in any manner without explicit permission from myself.
Payment for commissions must be given immediately after I have accepted your request. Funds that are processed through paypal must go through before I can send you your completed request. If extra charges are added into your commission price after the initial charges were paid then they must be paid before I send you your completed request (i.e. If you request extra details, change your commission, etc. as I am completing your request then those must be paid for and processed before I can send you the completed request).
-All funds I receive must be cleared in Paypal before I can send you your completed piece. Be warned that fund clearing can take up to 7 and occasionally more than 7 days.
Refunds for requests will only be accepted within the planning or sketching stages of your request. Once you have approved sketches for your request then I will only give partial refunds for the work I have yet to complete in your request (i.e. If your work is 75% done you get a refund of 25%), you will also still receive your commission in whatever stage of completion that it is in. Commissions without planning stages cannot be refunded.
-You will almost always receive preliminary sketches of your commission and those sketches or plans must be approved by you before I will complete your commission. As stated above, once you approve of these sketches and or plans and I have started your complete request you may not ask for a full refund and only partial refunds will be given, and if the request is completed then no refunds will be given.
-You may ask at any time for additional details to be added to your request, however, be aware that for some details additional charges may have to be paid and if so then these charges must be paid before I can add those specific details to the request. The best time to ask for additional details is during the preliminary stage when I send you sketches of your request to be approved.
-(For requests that must be mailed) I must receive your complete mailing address and all shipping and packaging costs must be paid by you before I can send the artwork. Once you have sent your mailing address and select your preferred shipping and packaging preferences then I will give you a full estimate to the cost of your shipping.
-For all commissions I must be provided with a reference of some sorts, whether it be through description or image of what any character(s), scenes, backgrounds, etc. are to look like within your commissioned piece.
-I must be provided with a clear description of what you would like to be portrayed and how it is to be portrayed within the commission. If such information is never provided even after reminder then I will be forced to deny your request or refund your commission.
-Please make sure available and updated contact information is provided and that the buyer is able to see and respond to messages or inquiries that I send at all times while I am working on the commission. (I need this so I can provide the buyer with updated completion times, sketches, complete commission files, etc.).
