Terms of Service

Last Updated: 04/28/2025Hello! Thank you for considering commissioning me. By purchasing a commission, you (the "Client") agree to the following Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before ordering!

1 - General Information

  • I have the right to decline any commission request for any reason, with or without the need to explain.

  • I retain the right to post the artwork on my portfolio, social media, and for self-promotion, unless the Client requests otherwise.

  • Communication will happen mainly via Discord and all important updates will be shared during the process.

  • Terms of Service and Prices are subject to change at anytime. You are only subject to the ToS and prices agreed upon at the time of the transaction.

2 - Payment

  • Payments are made upfront via Paypal, GCash is also available for Filipino Clients.

  • Full payment is required before I start the commission. For commissions above $360, a 50% deposit option is available, with the remainder due upon completion.

  • Prices are listed in USD unless otherwise agreed.

  • No refunds after I have started the sketch phase. Full refunds are only possible if I haven't started your piece yet.

3 - Process and Workflow

  • I will provide regular updates (sketch, line art, coloring stages) where Clients can request minor changes.

  • Major changes (such as complete pose redraws) are only allowed during the sketch stage. Additional fees will apply for major changes after that.

  • Turnaround time varies by project complexity, generally ranging from 2 to 6 weeks unless otherwise stated.

  • Rush deadlines can be discussed with an additional fee.

4 - Usage Policy

A. Personal Use (Default)

  • All commissions are for personal use unless commercial rights are purchased.

  • Personal use includes posting on social media, personal icons, wallpapers, or private printing — no selling, redistribution, or advertising allowed.

B. Commercial Use (With License)

  • Some commissions (like Book Covers, Album Art, and Merchandise Designs) already include commercial rights.

  • Other commissions (e.g., Portraits, Character Illustrations, Fanart) are personal-use only unless a commercial license is requested by the Client.

  • Clients may repost the commissioned artwork with proper credit to me.

  • NFTs and AI training usage of my artwork are strictly forbidden, unless previously agreed upon in writing.

6 - Revisions

  • Small revisions (color adjustments, small details) are free during the WIP stages.

  • Major revisions (pose change, outfit redesign, etc.) after the sketch is approved will incur an additional fee.

7 - Cancellation and Refunds

  • If I must cancel the commission due to personal reasons, a full refund will be issued.

  • If the Client cancels after work has begun, a partial refund may be given depending on how much progress was made.

  • No refunds will be issued once the artwork is completed.

8 - Client Responsibilities

  • Provide clear, detailed references and descriptions when ordering.

  • Be respectful and patient throughout the commission process.

  • Respond to communication within a reasonable timeframe to avoid delays.
