BEFORE YOU BUY

By purchasing a commission from me, the artist, you agree to be purchasing my services only. If you have any issue with any of the conditions stated below, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying for your commissioned piece.

1. GENERAL TERMS• All drawings will include a small artist signature that you may not remove.
• Prices are subject to change based on demand.
• I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.

2. PAYMENT• Currency accepted is USD and can be paid through PayPal, Venmo or Cash App. Exchange rates apply.
• Commissions will be paid upfront and in full.
• Don't send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a commission.

3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY• I will notify you when I have started on your commission and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds)
• If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know ASAP.
• While I'm working on your commission I will have you review it to make sure you are satisfied with the progress of the work. The amount of reviews depends on the complexity of the work.
• During the reviews, you will receive work-in-progresses (WIPs), these images are usually screenshots of the current piece.
• The time it takes to finish your commission varies from 1-30 days depending on factors such as my health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, and other work I have. I want to give you as clean and perfect a product as I possibly can, so please have patience.
• Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image along with a web-friendly size. Note that there is no physical product. You may print the artwork at your own cost and with my permission; if requested, I will provide you with a print-friendly copy.

4. REVISIONS• You get 3 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price.
• A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing, unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
• If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
• If your reference is unclear to start with, changes will come at an extra charge.

5. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICYI claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:
• Promote myself with it everywhere
• Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)
• Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
• Post it wherever I want

The buyer is allowed to:
• Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)
• Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.
• Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.
• Use the artwork on their Youtube channel and in monetized videos as long as the artwork itself is not the main subject for the earnings.

The following is considered copyright infringement:
• Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way.
• Claiming the artwork as your own
• Removing my signature from the artwork
• Altering the artwork without my consent

I reserve the full rights to the image and its use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon.

6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION• I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!
• If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.
• I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you, e.g., do not want me to post your art anywhere, we can discuss this.

7. REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY• The buyer is not allowed a refund once I started working on the commission.
• If for any reason I am unable to start your commission you will receive a full refund.
• If you cancel your order before I started your commission, you can get a full refund.
• If you are getting a refund, do not request a chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
• If you request a chargeback at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund, you will lose all aforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the chargeback and supply the exchange service with our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the aforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit. If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying your commissioned piece.

What do you get?
• Sketch and/or final sketches for you to review before I continue the work
• Insight and involvement in color plan (depending on the complexity of the commissioned piece)
• Full-resolution file (approx. 2000 x 3000px at 300 DPI) of final drawing and a smaller version for internet upload. Final file formats are usually PNG.
