FK'S TERMS OF SERVICE
Commission Terms of Service
For all commission related inquiries, please e-mail me at [email protected].
1. Communications
- I will ONLY accept communication about an on-going commission via e-mail.
I will not accept communication by any messenger program or any private or public communication method for your commission outside of the contact e-mail you provide in your commission form.
- If you do not respond to my confirmation e-mail (see 2. Process) within 5 days of sending in your commission request form, you will be dropped to the bottom of the queue.
If you are unable to communicate frequently, please make note of this in the "additional information" field of the commission form.
- Once the W.I.P (work in progress) sketch has been sent, you must pay within 72 hours or you will be moved to the bottom of the queue. If you have not paid within 7 days (unless otherwise discussed) your commission will be cancelled.
- You are free to contact me for status updates about your work. I will also keep my queue status on Trello up to date. You can see my Trello queue page here:
https://trello.com/b/dykggqvM/commission-queue
- If you contact me for work, you agree that my TOS supersedes any TOS you may have.
2. Process
- I will open for new commission slots via journal post on FurAffinity. A Google Docs form link will be included, and it must be filled out before your commission is accepted. This form will be closed once all slots are filled.
- Once I have received your information, I will e-mail you confirming your slot, and give you a quote on how much your commission will cost. You must agree to this price before continuing.
- Please provide proper references for your character - a flat colored image that clearly displays markings and patterns as well as their body type. A short, clear, concise textual description in addition to a flat color image is acceptable if the image has certain elements missing.
- Purely textual descriptions are discouraged - but you are free to cite examples of what you are looking for and specific colors you would like (please utilize one of the many free color palette building websites that are out there, so I can get the most precise colors possible for you).
- You will be sent a W.I.P sketch. Any changes to positioning, body type, or background elements should be made at this stage, as I will not change them once the image is complete.
Large changes in this stage (such as redrawing the entire image) will result in an additional $10 fee (you will be notified if your requested changes will result in a fee).
Once the sketch has been approved, I will send a PayPal invoice with the price agreed upon to the PayPal address you sent with your commission form.
- You may request an additional W.I.P shot for the flat color stage at no additional cost. Please note this must be specifically requested and
will not be sent by default.
- Wing-it style commissions and painted sketches do NOT come with a W.I.P sketch - only simple and full illustrations.
- Once the image is finished, if I have made any marking errors or missed small details, I will add them at no additional cost. I can not make big changes once an image is finished, I.E. poses, angles, lighting, or background.
- If you'd like an image to be done by a certain date, you must let me know at least two weeks before said date. I will not accept commissions with deadlines shorter than 5 days, and a fee of 25% of the original commission cost will be added to rush/expedited orders.
- Once payment has been received, please allow at least two weeks for your commission to be completed. Overall, the process should take no longer than a total of four weeks; if something comes up and I'm unable to finish it within that timeframe, you will be notified.
3. Payment
- Payment is accepted in USD only.
- Payment is received via PayPal invoices. I will also accept Amazon or Etsy gift-cards on very rare occasions - if you are unable to use PayPal, please feel free to ask if I am able to accept these alternate forms of payment. Any other form of payment is not accepted.
- I will not work further on a commission until payment has been received. No exceptions.
- For wing-it style images (or other types that may be offered randomly), payment is required up front.
4. Refunds and Cancellations
- I reserve the right to cancel a commission and issue a full refund at any time if you are being rude to me, acting inappropriately towards me, communicating poorly, or are otherwise being impatient or overly pushy.
- If I cancel your commission, due to personal problems or if I am otherwise unable to complete it, you will receive a full refund.
- If you need to cancel your commission, you will receive a refund of what you paid minus compensation for work already done, along with the unfinished artwork.
- I reserve the right to refuse any commission request for any reason.
5. Copyrights
- I retain all rights to the images that I produce.
- I retain the right to display my work on any personal website, gallery, or journal. If you would like your commission to be private or
to not be uploaded to a certain website, please let me know in the "additional information" field when filling out your commission form.
You may also request to have your commission uploaded at a specific time (ex: gift art for a birthday)
- You retain all rights to your characters in the commissioned image (this does not give you the rights to the image).
- The commissioned image is for personal and non-profit use only (ex: uploading to websites, printing to hang up in your home).
- You may upload to any website you wish so long as the image is credited to me (Firekeeper77). A link back is not required but very appreciated.
- You may not erase, modify, or obstruct my signature.
- You may not modify the image in any way without my permission.
By sending payment, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions outlined above.
