Terms Of Service

Notice: By commissioning me as an artist, you are agreeing to every part of the Terms of Service. I will ask every person before proceeding with a commission if they have read, understand, and agree to my Terms of Service. Failure to properly read or understand my Terms of Service following this agreement is by fault of the client and I professionally do not care about what happens as a result of your negligence.

General Information

Please see my General Information page for more details regarding my process and what to expect- it is considered to be part of my Terms of Service.


I reserve the right to deny commissions for any reason. I reserve the right to cancel commissions at any time for any reason. You as the client reserve the right to cancel your ongoing commission at any time for any reason. If a 50% upfront deposit has been made prior to the time of cancellation, my refund policy applies. However, after a 50% final payment has been made, no party is allowed to cancel a commission because the transaction is considered complete and final.


For up to 365 days after an art commission has had the 50% final payment made, you may request small changes and tweaks free of charge. After this period, it will be $5 per tweak paid in full upfront. However, I am not obligated to meet these requests and may deny them for any reason. Please ask first if I can meet your request before paying me for a fix or change.



Financing

All prices are negotiable. However, after agreeing upon a price, it is non-negotiable by either party unless special conditions apply. Special conditions include but are not limited to my commissions going on sale while your transaction is ongoing {your price will be adjusted to meet the new sale price if you agree to all sale terms- see my Sale Exceptions section for more information}. Special conditions cannot raise the price of your commission for any reason, even if I raise my prices or end a sale while your transaction is ongoing.


Commissions must be paid with 50% of the price upfront and 50% of the price upon completion. All monetary transactions will take place via Venmo or PayPal and be completed using USD. Whenever possible, Venmo will be the preferred platform for monetary transactions. PayPal is only available for clients residing outside the United States or if special accommodations are required.



Rights to the Art

I'm allowed to post my art on social media to claim authorship, advertise my work, or otherwise share my content. You're allowed to post my art on social media and are not required to credit me as the author, but you cannot claim, imply, or otherwise leave authorship ambiguous so as to make others believe you are the author {a simple, "Not my art!" is sufficient}. You're allowed to use my art for personal use, social gain, and other similar use cases.


You are allowed to make monetary profit from my work in very limited use cases AND given my prior written consent. I will not request any percentage of your profit if I approve your specific use case.


You may not edit or otherwise change the appearance, file type, or composition of my work without my prior written consent. Filters, AI generated tweaks, adding text, and more fall under this category.


If a commission is cancelled for any reason, the drawing will be left to my discretion and I may not necessarily delete it. However, I will not use other people's OCs without their prior written consent. You as the ex-client would lose all rights to to freely use, post, or repost the artwork and/or any work in progress shots unless I have given prior written consent.



30 Day Policy

Commissioned works will be completed within 30 days of me personally confirming I have received the 50% upfront deposit unless other arrangements have been made. If I fail to meet the agreed upon deadline, you will receive a 50% discount {no final payment required} should you wish to continue conducting business with me.


Responses to any inquiries I make must be made within this 30 day timeframe until I'm no longer obligated to work with you as a client unless other arrangements have been made. If you fail to respond within a timely manner, I will notify you of the termination of your commission and my refund policy will apply. If I as the artist do not respond within this 30 day {or otherwise agreed upon} timeframe, you will receive a 50% discount {no final payment required} should you wish to continue conducting business with me.



Banned Subjects

This is a list of subject matters I will NOT draw. These are non-negotiable.



Refund Policy

Full refunds are given upon the cancellation of any art commission that has not had the 50% final payment made, regardless of whether me or the client cancelled the commission. Reason for cancellation or time passed does not matter. However, once the 50% final payment has been made, commissions are no longer eligible for refunds and the transaction is considered final.



Behavior Policy

I will always uphold professionalism while dealing with commissions and interacting with clients. Clients aren't necessarily expected to be professional, but they are expected to be courteous and respectful. Clients whom I deem to be rude, disrespectful, pushing boundaries, trauma dumping, or otherwise make me feel unsafe or uncomfortable will have their commission immediately terminated and I will not conduct business with you in the future. Just because you're paying me money does not mean I'm undeserving of basic human respect.



Common Sense Policy

This policy refers to anything that I deem "common sense." Even if it's not explicitly stated in my Terms of Service, don't try to find loopholes around the clearly intended purpose of my terms. If I have reason to believe you're trying to abuse or "game" my terms, your commission will be immediately terminated and I will not conduct business with you in the future.



Sale Exceptions

During sales, I may void some of my Terms of Service in order to provide a different experience or because I can't uphold part of it during a sale. If you don't want to agree to the altered terms, you can commission a full price piece instead. In order to receive discounts from sales, you must agree to the altered terms as well as my standard Terms of Service.


Some parts of my Terms of Service will never be voided during a sale. The following sections will never be voided, altered, or otherwise changed as part of a sale: Changes to Terms of Service, Common Sense Policy, Behavior Policy, Refund Policy, and Banned Subjects.



Changes to Terms of Service

If my Terms of Service change at any point after your 50% upfront deposit has been made, the new changes will not apply. However, if an upfront deposit has not been made, the new changes will apply regardless of other circumstances. I will always ask potential clients to review any and all changes if they agreed to a previous version of my Terms of Service.
