• You retain the rights to the Intellectual property (IP) if they have been created by you and already belong to you.

• If you request artwork involving an existing character(s) that do not belong to you, you may only use these for personal means e.g. posting online as fan art for others to see, creating a personal print for your own use etc. 

• You may NOT make any profit from the commissioned pieces by reselling, redistributing them, making prints/ merchandise or anything resulting in making money from my artwork, as this is only for personal commissions. If you wished to request a commission for commercial reasons, this can be discussed with myself.

• You may NOT use the commissioned artwork for commercial purposes as these terms are for personal commissions, unless this has been discussed and agreed with me prior to commencing on the artwork. If you do wish to use the work for commercial purposes after it has already been done, please discuss with myself.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

• Refunds are allowed only if I have not started the commission work yet.

• If work on a commission has already begun, and you wish to cancel the work and get a refund, you can be given a PARTIAL refund depending on how much work I have done.

• If you are viable for a refund, please do not request a PayPal chargeback unless advised otherwise, I will refund the money back to you myself.

• If you request a PayPal chargeback without my knowledge and/or when you are not viable for a refund, you will lose all rights to the commissioned work and will not receive your money back as PayPal will get proof of communications between us as evidence. Furthermore you will be blacklisted from future commission work.
