� 1. It is the responsibility of the Client to provide a detailed reference of what they would like, or a detailed written explanation. If a large mistake is made due to poor communication, the commission will not be refunded or largely altered without further compensation. If a mistake is made that is the Artist's fault, such as not reading correctly, alterations will be free of charge.

*Note that the Artist will not accept a commission that would infringe the copyright of any third party. ie. Fanart. A character commission proposal must be copyright to the Client, or they must provide express written permission from the copyright holder. Giftart purchased for other deviants is fine! No characters from videogames, movies, etc.

� 2. Base prices are determined on the average work, if a piece the Client is commissioning is more detailed, complex, or large in size, the price may raise.

� 3. Price is determined before the commission is started. The Client confirms their acceptance of the price when the invoice is paid.

� 4. Payment must be made up front. The Client must pay at least a 50% deposit before the commission is started. The client will not receive the final piece until the full price is paid.

� 5. The Client has the right at any time to request a preview of the piece once payment is made. If the Client wishes any large alterations, they must point them out before the piece is completed (unless they are willing to compensate for the extra time).

� 6. Refunds can only be done before the piece is complete. If the artist is half way through the piece(and show's evidence of this), the Client will be refunded 50% of the payment.

� 7. The Artist retains the right to display the finished watermarked piece on any personal gallery.

� 8. The Client may display the finished watermarked piece on any personal gallery or website so long as the watermark or copyright is still visible. ie. Credit is given to the Artist. The Client may make headshots, avatars, and signatures from the work, however if the watermark is no longer visible, it is the Client's responsibility that the Artist receives credit in other means (rewatermark, link to online gallery, etc).

• When posting the work online in galleries or websites, the Client may not post the high resolution version, as this makes it easy for 3rd parties to steal and even profit off the work. (The Client may post the same version as is posted on DeviantArt).

� 9. If the Client wishes to own the copyright to the piece, such as in the case with Commercial work or graphic art for websites, a 50 % increase in price is added to the invoice. This gives the Client an unwatermarked piece which needs no credit back to the artist.

� 10. The Client may NOT sell/resell prints or reproductions of their piece in any way, they are for personal use only. Physical paintings in traditional media are the exception, and may be sold to new owners at any time.

� 11. By paying the invoice, the Client affirms that they have read, understood, and agreed to the above terms.

NOTE: If the Client is unhappy with the quality of work they receive, they may dispute it. The Artist must provide a piece equal to the quality of work displayed in their gallery of the same value. If the finished product appears rushed or less polished than other pieces of the same value, the Artist must rework until the quality is consistent. A work may only be disputed up to 30 days after the piece has been completed, as the quality of artwork continuously rises.

ie. A piece will not be edited six months after completion simply because the Artist has improved (unless the Client wishes to compensate for the extra time).
