terms of service

I retain the right to refuse any commission for any reason and do not have to provide the customer with an explanation.

General
1. The commissioner is sent with a digital copy of the commission via e-mail for digital download in .PNG format unless agreed upon otherwise.
2. No physical goods will be printed and shipped out to the commissioner.
3. A sketch will be provided to the commissioner and upon approval, the piece will be worked on from there. If the commissioner is unsatisfied with the sketch, they may request 5 changes total. Any major adjustments requested after having approved the sketch will cost an extra 10% of the base price per major revision.

Payment and Refund
4. On orders under or equal to $100 CAD, the commissioner agrees to pay upfront in Canadian Dollars (CAD), via PayPal, Ko-fi, or e-transfer. The commission will not be started until I am paid in full.
4b. On commissions above $100 CAD, the commissioner agrees to pay half the invoice total upfront. The other half has to be paid on approval of the initial sketch.
5. The commissioner has right to request a full refund if there's been no progress for two consecutive months or when the commission has not been completed within four months. Refund conditions for commissions which require more work must be agreed separately, before the work commences. These provisions exclude work interruptions caused by unforeseen circumstances such as illness, accident or any other credibly documented reason for interruption of work.
6. If the commissioner does not pay the invoice within two weeks of receiving it, I will assume the commissioner is no longer commissioning me, and the slot will be reopened.
7. Payment covers the service (the creation of the artwork, communication, preparation, etc.) and the digital file.

Usage
8. Commissioned artwork is to be used for personal use only. The artwork is prohibited from being resold or used in (for profit or free) advertisements, games, publications, or for commercial purpose.
9. Commissioned work is prohibited from being used for NFTs or in any AI generated works or database. Running commissioned work through any form of AI software for any purpose is also prohibited.
10. As the artist (sunfishcitrus), I retain the right to the commissioned piece meaning I may use it for purposes such as posting on social media such as Twitter, including the piece in portfolios, etc. If the commissioner would like the piece not to be posted online, and arrangements can be made.
10b. The commissioner retains the rights to any original characters owned and that I have been asked to draw.

Credits and Editing
11. The commissioner agrees to not claim the art is drawn by anyone other than myself as the artist.
12. Proper credit using my username (@sunfishcitrus) is required when using the art in any way, shape, or form. If reposted on the commissioner's social media, proper credit must be given in the post's caption. Proper credit is prohibited from being posted in the form of QRT, tags, replies, etc. If used as an icon/header, proper credit must be stated on the commissioner's profile.
13. The commissioner is prohibited from removing any watermarks from any commissioned works. A watermark free version for personal use (ie. wallpaper, etc.) will be given if requested, but is prohibited from being posted online.
14. The commissioner is prohibited from editing the artwork in any way, shape, or form. Minor adjustments (ie. slight colour change) can be made for free once the piece is complete, but any large adjustments (ie. moving a prop) will be an additional cost after the sketch phase is completed.

Cancellation
15. I reserve every right to refuse or cancel any order, under condition of full refund, without giving reasons to the commissioner.
16. Any disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in a cancellation of the order. The commissioner will receive full or partial refund depending on amount of work completed. I will have full right to refuse any service to the comissioner in the future.
