Terms of Service
Upon ordering you agree to these following terms:
Payment
Moment of payment
Payment is due after the initiation of work through briefing or after approval of the first sketch.
Medium of payment
Transactions only accepted via PAYPAL.
Invalid payment
Do not use the option of sending payment as Friends and Family. This is against PAYPAL rules. (And in general: robs you of your option to reclaim your money should you get scammed by anyone.)
refunding
I cancel
Full refund, when I cancel the commission.
You cancel
Already done work, that is exceeding a basic pose sketch, will not be refunded and has to be paid for. Pose sketches I initially made for your commission I can sell as YCH.
You make me cancel
No refund when I cancel the commission at your fault. Which could be immense pressuring, extreme rudeness, harrassment or an excessive lack of communication - as in several weeks long - inmidst process after sketch approval. Warnings and/or reasons would be communicated before taking this action.
Corrections
WIPs
Work in process (WIP) images will be send for your approval unless stated otherwise.
Sketch commissions don't include a WIP.
Included Corrections
Make use of the approval stages – they are your chances for corrections. All corrections must be justified by the information you deliver.
Changes
Changes of plans like change of pose after sketch approval can be charged extra.
Copyright

I, the artist, do not gain rights to your character just by creating art from them. My creative work and your character are separate intellectual properties. Exceptions are characters I have partially designed. Then I‘ll have partial or shared rights as the creator.

I can not sell products containing your intellectual property without your prior agreement. I‘ll keep the rights to any artwork I‘ve done and can use the art for promotion of my business as artist.
You can not use my artwork and design work for profit or commercial purposes, without my prior agreement.
Commercial usage rights need to be defined and purchased.
Credit

Do not paint over my artwork. Do not trace it. Do not alter or edit it and make it look like I delivered it that way. Exceptions are icons and forum banners due to their common context as altered media.

Other changes can be charged for and should to be stated reasonably early, when still possible to apply.
