Terms of Service

---

By commissioning or purchasing a design from me, you agree to abide by the following terms and conditions.

"Terms of service (also known as terms of use and terms and conditions, commonly abbreviated as TOS or ToS, ToU or T&C) are rules by which one must agree to abide in order to use a service. Terms of service can also be merely a disclaimer, especially regarding the use of websites."

🎯 General Conduct & Expectations- Communication is key. Please stay responsive throughout the process. If I don’t hear back within a reasonable time (3–5 days), your slot or adopt may be forfeited.- English is my primary language for communication. Please be clear and concise when providing instructions or feedback.- I do not tolerate harassment, begging, or guilt-tripping over prices, slots, or design decisions. Doing so will result in an immediate blacklist.-Harassment, ghosting, or attempting to bypass policies (e.g., rushing, sneaky edits, backtracking on terms) will result in being permanently blacklisted.- Do not rush me or repeatedly ask for updates. I will communicate if delays happen or when I have progress to show.- Payment is required upfront. No work will begin under any circumstance without full payment.- My prices are non-negotiable. If you cannot afford a slot, please wait for future opportunities or sales.

🚫 Refunds, Cancellations, and Chargebacks- Refunds will only be issued if I have not started your piece. Once work has begun, no refunds will be provided.- If I cannot complete your commission for any reason, you will receive a full refund.- Clients who issue chargebacks without contacting me first will be permanently blacklisted and reported to relevant platforms.- Chargebacks will result in an instant ban from all future sales and commissions, and you will lose all rights to any art/designs involved.

🎨 About my Art- You are commissioning my style as it is. I do not mimic other artists or alter my style to match a different aesthetic.- If you are unsure about how your character will look in my style, do not commission me. Review my existing portfolio before purchasing.- I prioritize artistic integrity and will not take on overly restrictive or creatively stifling requests.- Excessive micromanaging will not be tolerated.- Please note: My art style is constantly evolving. While I strive for consistency, small changes in technique, anatomy, coloring, or rendering may occur between pieces. If you're uncomfortable with artistic growth or variation, I kindly ask that you reconsider commissioning me.

🖼️ Rights, Usage & Ownership- I retain full copyright and ownership over all artwork I create.- I retain full rights to the artwork, including the right to post it on my portfolio, social media, or use it for promotional purposes.- You may not remove my watermark/signature from any artwork or reupload it without credit.-You may not alter, trace, or heavily edit the artwork without my permission.- Absolutely no use in AI datasets, NFTs, or blockchain-related technologies. Any violation will result in legal action.- If commercial rights are purchased, you may use the artwork for branding, monetized content, or merc - but you may not claim the art itself as your own creation.- If using my art publicly (icons, banners, RP profiles, etc.), credit must be clearly visible, either on the image or in the description.

📌 Commissions- Turnaround time ranges from 1 day to 3 months, depending on my workload. As I manage two jobs, delays may occur and are at my discretion.- I take one slot per person at a time. Multiple commission requests will be declined.- Deadlines must be confirmed prior to payment. Requests for expedited delivery will not be accepted after payment is made.- I reserve the right to decline any commission without explanation.- A sketch will be provided for approval before finalization. This is your opportunity to request changes - no major edits will be accepted after this stage.-No revisions will be made after completion, unless the error is mine (e.g. incorrect colors or details).- Clients who ghost or disappear after the sketch stage for extended periods (2+ weeks) forfeit their right to further revisions unless previously discussed.-You are expected to communicate professionally. If you ghost or disappear for an extended period (14+ days) without notice, the project may be canceled or delayed indefinitely.- Payment is required within 24 hours of claiming or invoicing. Failure to pay may result in the slot being forfeited.- Commissions are for personal use only unless commercial rights are explicitly purchased.- I will not create content that includes hate speech, offensive symbolism, or NSFW content

🧬 Adopts & Ownership- All sales are final. No refunds will be issued once the adoptable has been purchased.- Payment must be made within 24 hours of claiming the adopt. If payment is not received in time, the design will go back up for sale.- You receive personal, non-commercial rights to the design unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon. Commercial use (merch, games, monetized content, etc.) requires a separate license.- You may not resell the design for more than you paid, unless the character has additional commissioned art. Please include credit to the original artist when reselling or trading.- Do not claim the artwork or design as your own creation. Proper credit must always be given to me as the original designer.- Minor edits to the design (color tweaks, outfit changes, hairstyle, etc.) are allowed. Major redesigns are discouraged and must retain recognizable elements of the original.- Adopts may not be used for AI training, NFTs, or blockchain-related purposes.- You may gift or trade your adopt at any time, but reselling must follow the pricing rules (original price + commissioned art only).- Please notify me when reselling or transferring ownership, if possible—this helps maintain proper credit and track the design's history.

🔨 Auction Protocol- Please only bid if you’re 100% committed and have the funds ready. Backing out of an auction will result in a ban from future sales.- Auction durations are typically 3–4 days due to crossposting. I reserve the right to end or extend auctions at any time.- Sniping is discouraged unless stated otherwise. I may extend the auction if bids are placed in the final minutes.- Bids are binding. Once you place a bid, you are responsible for paying if you win.- If bidding takes place across multiple platforms (e.g. Toyhouse, Twitter, Discord), I will always clarify where the current highest bid is.- Winners must pay within 24 hours. Failure to do so will result in the adopt being relisted or offered to the next highest bidder.

🧷 YCH Terms & Conditions- YCHs are not always 100% unique unless explicitly stated. I may reuse the same base or pose for multiple buyers.- You are purchasing the pose and concept — not a copy-paste result. I will not replicate old art styles or “match” older YCH examples exactly.- Complex characters may be simplified. If your character has extreme details or accessories, I may adjust them for style/flow. Please ask beforehand if you’re unsure.- You will receive a sketch for approval. Once approved, no major edits will be accepted unless I made an error.- YCHs are for personal use only, unless otherwise agreed upon.- You must pay within 24 hours of claiming or winning a slot, or it will go to the next person.

✅ Final NoteThese rules are non-negotiable. If you are not comfortable with any part of this agreement, do not commission or purchase from me. I am here to create—but I also protect my work, time, and energy.
