Terms & Conditions
If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying for your commissioned piece.
1. General Terms
All drawings will include a subtle signature that you may not remove.
I might record the drawing process and post it on my social media accounts.
I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.
2. Payment
PAYMENT FIRST via PAYPAL FRIEND only. ["Send to friends and family", not “Goods and Services”]
Don't send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment.
3. Process and delivery
I will notify you when I have started on your commission and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds)
Send me clear references and details (pose, personality etc). Additional description is appreciated.
Commissions from description only will not be accepted.
List all the changes you want me to change from the sketch. Please be clear about it.
While I'm working on your commission I will make reviews with you to make sure I make it just right for you!
The amount of reviews depends on the complexity of the work.
During the reviews, you will see work-in-progress and these images will usually include a watermark.
WIP Updates: Initial sketch, Line art, Flat Colors, Detailed and Finished output
The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 3 months depending on the complexity of the commissioned piece.
If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.
Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution PNG image with my signature. Note that there is no physical product.
4. Revisions
A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing - unless, of course, a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
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.
Maximum of 3 revisions
5. Copyright / Usage policy
* I, Kimichan (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:
Promote myself with it everywhere
Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
Post it wherever I want
*The buyer is allowed to:
Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)
Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.
Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.
Use the artwork on their Youtube channel and in monetized videos as long as the artwork itself is not the main subject for the earnings.
* The following is considered copyright infringement:
Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way.
Claiming the artwork as your own
Removing my signature from the artwork
Altering the artwork without my consent
6. Customer Satisfaction
* I reserve the full rights to the image and it's use/distribution.
I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!
If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.
I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you, e.g., do not want me to post your art anywhere, we can discuss this.
7. Refund / Cancellation Policy
The buyer is not allowed for a refund.
If for any reason I am unable to start your commission you will receive a full refund.
If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the beforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Kimichan (the artist), and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit. If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying your commissioned piece.
