TERMS OF SERVICE

Please take this time to read the following instructions and disclaimers below before commissioning me. Not reading the TOS will most likely result in confusions during the commission process, which I would like to avoid.

Last update: 14 August 2023

1. COMMISSION STEPS:

1. Check for available slots on Trello. If there are available slots, please read over my T.O.S (which is what you are doing now). After that, look over my prices. Make sure you have enough money in your budget before you contact me on what you want.

2. Send me a private message if you want to reserve a slot, discuss about your idea or any other questions you need answered.

3. I have the right to accept or decline your commission.

4. If I accept, I will ask you to send me your commission as detailed as possible as well your email address, for the invoice. Please make sure you have the CORRECT reference sheets or illustrations of the character(s) you wish me to draw as well as any other references you wish to include. The more, the better. (But don't go crazy with them)

5. I will reply with a price quote and add you to my commission list, under the section queued up in trello. I will first work on a sample sketch and confirm that you are fine with it.

6. Once you are satisfied with the sample sketch, you will receive a PAYPAL INVOICE email with the total amount of what we agreed on. The bill will be in EUR. Make sure you are on top of the invoice as it will have a 15 days expiration date. No exceptions or excuses if you missed the invoice or fail to pay for the commission. Check your email often! Any discounts you have obtained from past commissions will be subtracted from the total amount. When you pay, either half or full payment, you FULLY AGREE to my Terms Of Service, read or not.

7. I work with PAYPAL INVOICE ONLY, which means that if you send me payment that is NOT through PayPal Invoice by me or send me an "estimate" of what you think the total amount will be, it will be REFUNDED and you will have to wait longer for your commission. Past client or new client, I'd appreciate if you RESPECT this rule!

8. After you've sent the payment for a commission and you'd like a REFUND, before or during your commission has started, let me know. Rules and fees for refunds of both untouched and work in progress commissions are started in 3. Disclaimers - Section 8.

9. I will be sending you the WORK IN PROGRESS files to the email or platform you sent me a private message (Section 2). Please make sure that everything you wanted is in the illustration. Any LARGE extra work, changes to the commission, or add-ons, you will be charged extra.

10. When your commission is finished, I will send you a link to download the high resolution file, which will expire in 30 days. The illustration will then be posted on my web pages and social media (unless you want me to upload it at a certain time).

2. PAYMENT:

PAYPAL payment only in EUR. Invoice ONLY.

If Invoice is not an option:

Always include your name and the platform (Deviantart, twitter,...) when sending payment in the NOTE section.
Always send under GOODS AND SERVICES.
NEVER put in your mailing address. Mark it as “No Mailing Address”.

3. DISCLAIMERS:

1. During price negotiations, the price will go up if the character(s) you want me to draw are very complex (more time to draw them), if the illustration will be on a larger canvas (DIN-A4 paper sheet), if you have multiple characters and/or if there is any adult situation in the illustration (violence, sex, nudity). All of this is explained on my price sheet section on this webpage. The total amount we agreed on will not be changed unless you, the client, want to add more in the illustration or change the medium in which the illustration will be done in.

2. The pencil, ink stages and coloring are TRADITIONAL, which means that once the ink touches the paper, its on there. Please make sure that EVERYTHING you wish to change during the SKETCH phase is noted and told to me before I ink and color the commission. I give you a fair warning when I send you the sketches. If there is something minor that needs to be changed after the inking stage, I will attempt to render the line works either by white out or digital editing with GIMP.

3. I REFUSE to draw the following adult/kink theme topics or relating to: scat, watersports, gore, vore, cub porn, birthing/unbirthing, chibi porn. Basically, if I reject your adult-theme commission, its probably because you want me to draw something that I feel uncomfortable with.

4. I, the artist, make it my personal and professional goal to make sure that your commission is done, in full, within 30 - 60 DAYS from payment confirmation and work beyond 100% on the illustration with the information you gave to me. If I need more time to work on your commission due to complexity, size, or life events, I will contact you though email or a private message and remain in contact with you until the commission project is complete.

5. I, the artist, have the right to post and publish the finished commission wherever I please. This means websites, convention books, magazines, published books, etc. If the commission has a copyrighted character (your OC or fursona), I will clearly mark the character(s) name and the name of the owners' real name/furry name in the dedicated page or post. I own the rights to the illustration, NOT your characters. (This is typical to almost ALL artists).

6. I, the artist, hereby forbid the creation and usage of NFT's of the created illustrations. The way that technology has been created doesn't benefit the artists and I refuse to take part in a pyramid scheme.

7. You, the client, do not have the right to SELL, RENDER, TRANSFORM, or REPRODUCE the finished commission/illustration without the ARTIST'S PERMISSION, in writing. You do have the right to post the illustration on websites as well as print the illustration for your own personal use and decoration. Do you plan to mass produce the image the artist created on shirts or toys or any products that you will be making money off of? If so, construct a legal contract describing your intentions on the idea-to-be as well as pay the amount the artist wish to sell all the rights to the piece. If the artist approves and signs the contract, you have a deal. If not and you really want the artist to do it for you, be prepared to make changes. Artists have legal rights to that protect what they make, paid or not. Its called COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

8. If you, the client, wishes to cancel your commission and want a REFUND during the start of the commission progress, I will send you a refund through PayPal MINUS a 15% RESERVE SLOT FEE. This fee is included in every commission, no matter what the final price is. This 15% covers time talking to the client, reading job details, discussing prices, sending payment, doing thumbnails for the commission and refunding procedures. This fee is non-negotiable.

9. If you have MULTIPLE CORRECTIONS that you wish me to change, I will start charging you after the 3RD CHANGE REVISION. To avoid this, be as clear as possible in what you want, including reference links and images. If I don't know what you are talking about, I will tell you. If I make your change but yet you changed your mind or want to add more on top of that, that counts as more work. If you give me an UNFINISHED CHARACTER SHEET OR THE WRONG CHARACTER ILLUSTRATION for the commission and wish me to change it for another character or color correct it near the end of the commission process, you will be charged a percentage depending on how big the change is. This means, that if you have a character ref illustration that is unfinished or has incorrect markings or incorrect color palette, and you tell me to add more to the character AFTER THE INK PROCESS or add more details and add-ons that were not stated from the original description of the commission, you will be charged. ALWAYS HAVE A FINISHED AND COMPLETE CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET AND IDEA OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR ME TO CREATE.

10. HARASSMENT will not be tolerated, period. This includes: spamming me with pointless or hurtful emails, notes or messages, demanding me to lower my price, arguing with me to draw something I don't feel comfortable with, A/S/L questions, roleplaying requests, copyright infringement, threats in any way, shape or form. If any of this happens, I will talk to you in a calm and professional matter to try to find an even ground for both of us. If that fails and you are unable to calm down or if you escalate the situation, I have the right to refund your commission in the amount subtracted in (Disclaimer section 8) or all if the commission wasn't started, take you off my commission list, and block you from contacting me. If the harassment continues, you will be reported.
