By commissioning me (the artist), you agree that you (the client) are 18 years of age or that you have the consent of a legal guardian.

By commissioning me you are agreeing to abide by these terms and conditions.

For further information of any sort, you can contact me at - [email protected]

I hereby sell or transfer the commission to the Client at the agreed value written in the Commission Agreement prior to the Start of Work.

Start of Work begins once The Client and I agree on the quality of the Completed Sketch. The Full Payment will be made after I share a watermarked version of the Commission, unless otherwise agreed upon in the Commission Agreement.

The Client will receive a Completed Sketch during the work, at which time they can ask for alterations. Alterations beyond the completion of the work may cost additional fees.

The Commission is considered completed once I have delivered the commissioned work and the quality is to my own satisfaction.

The Commission will be completed in the time frame expressed in the chosen payment plan. I am allowed 3 weeks of additional time to complete the request if required.

All prices are expressed in U.S. dollars (USD), and payments are expected to be made as such. The Client is responsible for providing the correct amount, equal to the USD amount

Payments must will be taken using Cashapp or Paypal.

I have the right to refuse any commission request, without needing to explain the reason.

I reserve the right to stop work on a commission or cancel a commission request due to poor communication, rude/inappropriate behavior, an inability to effectively communicate in the English language, or a breach of these Terms of Service.

If at any point the Client has failed to respond to messages or status updates provided by the Artist for a period of longer than 10 days, the contract may be rendered void and further work will require renegotiation.

I will not create any depiction of hateful or racist imagery.

By commissioning me, you (the client) are purchasing my labor only. I retain all rights to the Commission, which includes but is not limited to: Distribution, reproduction, use of the Commission for Artist promotion (e.g. Profiles, Personal Space, Public Space, as defined in the Definitions section herein, etc.); or as it applies to new Terms of Service agreed upon in a commercial Purpose commission Agreement as defined in the Definitions section herein.

The Client must specify the content of their commission to the best of their ability prior to a commission Agreement. A complex commission may incur additional illustration fees, to be defined and agreed upon in the Commission Agreement prior to the Start of Work.

If the commission is time-sensitive, a rush fee may be applied, to be defined and agreed upon in the Commission Agreement prior to Start of Work.

If the commission is defined as confidential in the Commission Agreement, I can temporarily or indefinitely delay the public display of the image at the request of the Client and as defined in the Commission Agreement until such time the Commission Agreement specifies public display is permitted. A Client may not request the Artist to complete a commission without defining the timespan in the Commission Agreement to eventually allow the Artist to publicly display the image.

The Client may not distribute, reproduce, or otherwise profit from the commission, beyond the resale of the original [traditional art or the purchased print of a digital art] commission or as it applies to new Terms of Service agreed upon in a Commercial Purpose Commission Agreement as defined in the Definitions section herein.

The client may not edit, alter, or trace the commission without the Artist’s expressed, written permission, or as agreed upon in the Commission Agreement prior to the Start of Work

Digital art commissions will be provided to the Client via email or an online download location in .jpeg or .png format; this does not include the Commission native files (e.g., .psd, .tif, .sai, etc.), unless agreed upon in the Commission Agreement, or thereafter, the Client obtains written permission from the Artist.

If the commission is for Commercial Purposes, the Artist must be notified prior to the Start of Work. Commercial use of the commission will be decided on a case-by-case basis. New Terms of Service may be written and agreed upon in a Commercial Purpose Commission Agreement before the Start of Work.

The Client may request a preview of the Commission at any time during the creation process, but may not request changes to the Commission after the completed Sketch has been agreed upon by The Client unless a change process is agreed upon in the Commission Agreement prior to Start of Work. Some changes, if approved, will require renegotiation of the timeframe and the fee.

Refunds may only be issued if the Client notifies me before I begin drawing the completed work (which occurs after The Client agrees upon the quality of the completed sketch) or If I am unable to complete the commission in the time allotted in the terms of service. No refunds will be issued after the Completion of Work, nor will a refund be issued before or after Start of Work if any of these Terms of Service are breached Additionally, I have the right to revoke access to, and stop work of, the commission at any time after Start of Work if these Terms of Service are breached.

The Client will not permit any use of the Commission or misuse of my name in any way which would reflect discredit on my reputation as an artist, or which would violate the good spirit of the commission.

I reserve the right to collaborate with, or supervise, other artists to deliver the commission.

The Artist has the right to pursue damages under the Copyright Laws, should there exist a violation in addition to a breach of these Terms of Service.

The Client agrees that it shall not hold me or any agent thereof liable for any damages arising from my failure to complete the Work in a timely manner, regardless of whether such failure was caused by intentional or negligent acts or omissions of the Artist or of any third party.

The Client agrees to indemnify me against any and all claims and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred as a result of the Client’s unauthorized use of the Work under this Agreement, including the enforcement of this Agreement by myself (The Artist).
