When you commission me, past or present, you agree with the terms down below.
Any term may only be changed with my permission, and it may only be discussed and temporary (one-time) exceptions may be made when clearly discussed with the customer before the commission.
GENERAL
Please be open and direct in your communication.
Provide clear references of what you want. This does not include text descriptions, short or long.
Any misbehavior (slandering, rudeness, hate speech, etc.) is not and will not be tolerated and the commission will be canceled.
Follow the rules stated in the commission journal, YCH or adoptable.
By making a commission for you, or selling a character design (adoptable) to you, I do not claim to be associated with you whatsoever and thus am not responsible for your misconduct in regards to my products, the products of others, and in general.
If you fail or refuse to follow the rules provided I have the right to decline your commission.
PAYMENT
All commissions must all be paid in full upfront.
The currency accepted is USD, paid through the services of PayPal.
The fee may be progressed at my end. Simply said, the given prices on the journal/post of the commissions, YCHs, or adoptables will usually be all. The extra fees coming from forces outside of my control (such as PayPal or any other services used) are not my responsibility. You, as the customer, should be mindful of these.
PROCESS
Work In Progresses (WIPs) will only be given to update the costumer, shown to friends and family (unless it's a private project), or semi-public places. The watermark must persist to be on there in order to remind the viewer(s) that it's my product and work. Abusing this, by altering the image or claiming it as your own will not be tolerated whatsoever.
WIPs might be given as well if I as the artist need to know something about the commission.
It may take an uncertain time of months for your commission(s) to be completed. The following blockades may include:
Family life, school life, mental health & physical health, moving, other customers & commissions, etc.
If any of the things stated above occurs, it will likely be displayed in public on my profile(s). Aside from that, if you're worried about your commission/YCH/adoptable you are always free to contact me for WIPs or life updates. Whilst you may not demand absolutely personal information, I'll do my best to let you know what's going on to the extent that I can.
- CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
I go above and beyond to make my customers happy.
However, after the commission is finished only small things may be changed (i.e.: coloring mistakes, marking mistakes). I will update you with full files of the updated versions.
Big changes will only be accepted depending on the changes, and come with an extra charge. Accepted changes are:
extra outfits, adding things into the background, adding things on the character (such as jewelry or pants), or anything else I'll personally consider minor upon notice.
Not accepted changes are:
Complete background changes, major outfit changes, changes that contradict your original wants which you expressed before the commission/YCH, or anything that makes me redraw it completely.
Charges will depend on what the changes are.
Make sure you are clear on what you want from me. If you gave me unclear or outdated references then I am not responsible for any missing satisfaction that may occur after the commission is done.
