TERMS OF SERVICE
General Terms
When describing your commission, please write in a clear and concise manner and provide clear references. Any ill-advised or rude behavior will not be tolerated. If any of the aforementioned behavior occurs, the commission will be canceled.
I reserve the right to deny/cancel any commission for any reason.
The commissioner must provide at least 1 reference picture/detailed description; Simple or unclear references will not be exempt from small change fees due to unclear communication.
Updates
After the artist has received the full payment for the commission, the commissioner will receive one rough sketch of the commission to review over. The commissioner will then have the opportunity to list any changes or adjustments that they require. Please be very clear and concise when listing changes - there is no second revision update.
When the commission is complete, only minor changes can be made without extra fees. What is determined as "minor" is at the artist's discretion.
Any major changes will result in an extra fee up to 20%-50% of the original determined price at the discretion of the artist.
Major changes can be, but are not limited to:
Change in character design
Change in character pose
Adding or subtracting objects/props/characters
Background changes
If the commissioner gave unclear references from the start, they will not be entitled to minor changes without a fee.

Cancelling/Refunding Policy
The commissioner cannot demand refunds from the artist under any circumstances after the payments are received.

If a charge-back is charged against the artist by the commissioner, the rights of the commission will be retracted from the commissioner and given to the artist.
The artist holds the right to file a complaint(s) if necessary.
If the artist determines that they are unable to finish the commission, they hold the right to cancel the commission and a refund will thus be issued to the commissioner.
