Terms of Service
All commissions need to go through my Artistree commission site, and are subject to how they do business. They will handle transfer of payment, and any discussion regarding the commission request, licensing, price negotiations, etc will go through their messaging system. This is to protect both the customer and myself as the artist by providing a third-party record of all communication regarding the commission. Artistree does collect 100% of the commission payment up-front when the price is decided on, but provide protections to both sides in case of issues. Prices and payment are in USD.
Artist Rights:
I retain copyright ownership of the artwork that I create within this commission. Unless otherwise agreed to, I retain the right to post the commissioned artwork to my social media / portfolio. If you wish, I can delay posting until an agreed-upon date. As the artist, I retain all rights to the commissioned work, which includes but is not limited to distribution, reproduction, and use for Artist Promotion, unless other terms are agreed to in writing as part of the agreement.
Customer Usage:
Unless agreed to in writing during negotiations, commissions are for personal use only. The customer may not use the artwork I create for NFT minting, print-on-demand, advertising, etc. The customer may post images to social media, including as a profile photo, with appropriate crediting (a link to my website or Instagram would be sufficient). The customer may not reproduce or distribute the artwork in any way, and may not make claims to be the owner or creator of the artwork. If the customer wishes to have a physical print of the artwork in some form (canvas, print, metal plate, phone case, etc), I am willing to help with that, so long as it is only for personal use, and will not be distributed by the customer.
If at any point during the commission time, I find that I am unable to complete the commission, I will contact the customer and issue a refund. If I am running behind due to any unforeseen circumstances, I will contact the customer as early as possible, and we will discuss options for either cancellation or delaying the completion time.
I will keep the customer informed of how the work is progressing, and will provide opportunities for limited changes and alterations along the way. I want you to be happy with the final product, so I want to get your input early in the process. However, when I am further along the process, larger changes may cost extra. I will let you know in advance of performing the changes if there will be additional charges for a change request.
If the customer wishes to cancel the commission prior to completion, I will discuss a partial refund, based on the progress that I have completed to that point. Once I send out for final render adjustments / approval (prior to post-processing), there will be no refund available.
