You get 3 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece that are included in the final price. I will inform you about any additional costs before taking actions such as further changes etc. A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing or finished artwork.
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.
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 it, you can get a full refund.
If you are getting a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
If you request a Paypal chargeback at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all beforementioned 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 Paypal 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.
The buyer (private use) is not allowed to upload the commission to any online gallery.
Sell a link to the hosting online gallery, or mention the artist (me) who clearly doesn’t agree with the illegal usage of their artwork. I reserve the right to take legal action in such cases, sorry. (Part of 05 – Copyrights)
