Here are my Terms of Service. If you commission me for any artwork, you will need to acknowledge that you have thoroughly read these terms and conditions. Feel free to ask me any questions!
- Terms of Service -
Commissioning
By commissioning me, you agree to and are bound by the following terms:
Payment Process
Usage Rights
Alterations
By commissioning me, you agree to and are bound by the following terms:
- I, the artist, reserve the right to decline any commission or cancel at any time with a full or partial refund given based on the progress made.
- I will not give refunds except for the reasons stated above or for emergencies in regards to the client.
- I will not begin your commission until I can confirm the initial down payment has been made.
- Payment will only be accepted via PayPal.
- You have the right to request updates on your commission, but please do not continuously ask for them. Repetition of update requests may result in order cancellation.
- I will do my best to deliver your commission as soon as I can, but be prepared to wait for your piece if an emergency arises or if my schedule is extremely packed.
Payment Process
- Do not send me money until I tell you to do so.
- I only accept USD. Please calculate currency exchange rates and fees before paying to ensure you pay the correct amount.
- Once the initial payment has been received, you may no longer cancel your commission. Please refer to the first few points for exceptions.
Usage Rights
- You may use your commission for any personal uses such as profile pictures, forum signatures, page decorations, and so on.
- You MAY NOT use your commission for commercial purposes, to produce merchandise, or in any means to make profit.
- You may repost the artwork you have ordered with proper credit and a link back to my Smogon Art Thread.
- You are not allowed to alter the image in any way without my permission, including but not limited to removing watermarks or signatures.
- You are not allowed to take credit for the drawing in any way or retrace it.
- I hold the rights to any commissioned images and may use it in any way I see fit (promoting myself, reposting, adding it to my portfolio, etc).
- If you file a chargeback against me, your rights to everything I have made for you will be retracted and you will be forbidden to commission me ever again. Your name will be publicly posted on related social media to warn others, and I will retain all of the rights to the money you gave me.
Alterations
- I will send you an APPROVAL SKETCH of your commission before sending in the full piece. The objective of this sketch is to show you the rough look of your commission. This is the time for you to request changes FREE OF CHARGE. Any changes requested after the sketch has been approved will be charged an additional $1 USD per change UNLESS I misunderstood a previously requested change.
- After the sketch approval, I will not make major changes (pose, overall outfit, etc).
- The only changes you can request free of charge after the sketch approval are for color.
I, the artist, have the right to change my Terms of Service without prior warning. It is your responsibility to reread my ToS each time you commission me to ensure you have read the updated version and avoid cancellation.
