Terms of Service

The act of commissioning me implies that you agree to adhere by this document. Please review thoroughly!




An Overview of the Commission Process:
 1: You may contact me via commissionkappy@gmail.com to discuss a commission. If I accept, I will require payment full up front.
 2: A rough gesture sketch will be sent to you for approval, up to 3 changes may be made. Depending on complexity, a charge may apply (see below).
 3: Once verified, I will revise the sketch further and send it once again for review.
 4: After any applicable changes have been applied, you can request to see inks or just wait to see colours.
 5: Upon completion the final image will be given to you in high res, along with the original if it was traditional and shipping has been paid. It will also be posted to my gallery unless specified otherwise. A print may be offered of any digital media commission for an additional fee.




I reserve the right to refuse a commission for any reason.

Payment:
I accept payment up front for all my commissions under $100. Alternate payment may be discussed before hand in situations of commissions over $100.
Ideally I prefer Paypal, but I will accept International Money Orders through mail.

Timing:
Depending on complexity of the commission, allow usually a month for turn around time. I cannot guarantee completion by a specific time unless a deadline is discussed during the commission planning.

Revisions:
Please be clear about what you'd like from the start. During the sketching process, I will allow 3 major revisions (pose, major details, placement) before a charge of $5 will be applied to each additional change. Minor details will be added for no cost, under the circumstances they're not coming in excess. Please be considerate of the artistic process and that there is a difference between "gesture sketch" and "clean sketch" before requesting changes.
 
Content & Subject Matter:
I have no problem with most subject matters, I like a challenge and am always willing to try something new. I also have no problem with image ratings, either. I do still reserve the right to refuse a commission based on subject matter if it is personal, so please contact me if you have any questions.

Termination by Buyer:
If you need to cancel your commission for any reason, please let me know as soon as possible.
Depending on how much of your work has been completed, you may receive a partial refund of any money paid so far (a full refund is not guaranteed).
The work I've completed so far may be altered (so it's no longer recognizable as your request) and finished for my personal gallery of work, or sold if a full refund is given with any work being done prior to.

Termination by Seller:
I reserve the right to cancel a commission for any reason.
If I cancel due to personal reasons beyond my control, you will receive a refund of any money paid thus far.
If I am forced to cancel due to unsavory behavior by the commissioner, you will not receive a full refund. I will not tolerate coercion, being harassed, bullied, or treated rudely by clientele. 

Copyright:

I retain copyright on images drawn for clientele, though the character designs still remain theirs. The image will not be sold to anyone, and will be posted to my personal gallery for only display. I will allow clientele to display it in their own galleries with permission only (see below).

You may post the image to your personal site or as part of an online collection, as long as credit is given to me as the artist.
You may print the image for your personal use. Show it to friends, put it on your wall, put it on any clothing or miscellaneous item, etc...
You may crop (but not otherwise modify) the image for personal use as an avatar or profile image.

You may NOT modify the image without my specific written consent.
You may NOT claim credit for creating the image in any way.
You may NOT use this image for profit. No selling prints, no selling any items with the image printed on them, no using it as an example to sell your own work, or using it as an advertisement or promotional image without my specific written consent.
You may NOT use this image for promotional or official means. No using it on fliers, business cards, advertisements, or other promotional materials for any event, person, or organization, whether for profit or non-profit, without my specific written consent.
