This was quite a long time ago and I'll probably tweak some things around. Credit goes to paexiedust I believe, so sorry for forgetting!

By purchasing my art services, you automatically agree to the following conditions. Please read this entirely and carefully. I will deny your request if I see you didn’t read this. If there are any questions or concerns, send me a private note over DeviantArt.

PAYMENT

All payment should be in USD.
All payment should be made through PayPal, via invoice method or sent as "Goods/Services."
Payment is due in full up front or paid in halves. If the commission(s) are over $100, payment plans are accepted with a non-refundable deposit of $30.

At least a partial payment is required within three days of your commission request being accepted; failure to do so will result in your request being dropped. If you need more time, let me know.

ARTIST

By commissioning me, you’re purchasing my artist labor only. I retain all copyrights over my work, which include but are not limited to the right to distribute, reproduce or use the image as a sample for sales/self-promotion, unless otherwise agreed upon.
I will respect your request to not publicly post your commission. Just ask me!
I cannot claim the IP (intellectual property) or reuse/resell the image for personal and commercial projects.
I reserve the right to reject your commission proposal without question.
I reserve the right to modify and resell any rejected sketches as "pre-posed" at a later date.

COMMISSIONER

-The commissioner may upload the work done for you to your site as long as it is credited and linked back to any of my galleries.
-Once a piece is commissioned, you may use it for any personal use that you please, including but not limited to icons, signatures, layouts, wallpapers, themes and personal site display.

You retain the rights to the IP.
You may not claim the work to be your own or set it up for redistribution. You may not use it for any external projects, commercial or non-commercial. If you are looking for something to redistribute, use for your project(s), as an ad, sell or show at conventions etc., speak to me for information on royalty fees.

If you are not sure whether your request counts as personal, feel free to ask me about its intended use.

PROCEDURE

- After payment is received: I sketch, color and paint depending on your commission type.
- I do not accept "written description only" commissions. You must have at least one visual reference.

- Sketches do not have an approval stage. You may request minor tweaks if I missed any distinguishing features present in your reference.

- For larger commissions, one large edit is allowed during the sketch phase. I reserve the right to add a $10 USD fee over any edits after the first one. Please be clear and concise in your description of the change. You can use other works and photos you like as references for the changes!

- I will always distribute a "color test" to fix any color errors of your character! Please, let me know if I have made any mistakes. Anything that needs to be fixed on "my mistake", on your reference(s) and I missed it, will always be fixed for free.

If you're not sure if I'd accept your idea, please talk to me.

This document can and will be edited at any time without the need of further notice.
