5.1 COPYRIGHT AND USAGE WITH PREVIOUS AGREEMENT


If you want to use the artwork for your merch or other design, product, or monetize the piece in any other way - in this case you have to let me know BEFORE the commission STARTS and we will discuss the options.

6. CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

MONEY BACK

• The buyer has the right to a full refund only if I can't complete the order for some reason, or I can't fulfill the customer's initial wish, or I no longer want to proceed. In that case, I will refund the full amount to the buyer.

• The buyer has the right to decide to cancel the order only before I start the color processing, in the case of a sketch this option does not exist. After cancellation, I return a maximum of half of the amount paid, according to the time spent on the artwork. I will let the buyer know the process of my orders in advance or they can find it on my website shown using an example.


 

• If you are getting a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.

 

• If you request a Paypal chargeback at any point when you were not allowed to ask for a refund you will lose all aforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the chargeback and supply Paypal with these terms and our conversations in which we talk about the commission as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.

If the buyer violates any of the rights mentioned above, they will lose all the rights mentioned above to the artwork ordered from me, Šárka Štvrtňová (artist), and I will have the full right to continue to earn from the commission as I wish. If you have a problem with any of these statements, please do not order a commission.

What do you get?

• Drafts/mockups that you must decide which one I should continue with (depending on the complexity of the commission there might be fewer or more drafts).

• Sketch and/or final sketches that you must accept before I continue the work.

• Insight and involvement in color plan (depending on the complexity of the commissioned piece).

• Full-resolution file (approx. 400x500mm at 300 DPI) of final drawing and a smaller 72DPI version for internet upload. *Emotes will be a little different. Final file formats are usually PNG or JPEG. I can provide you with a PDF if you're planning on printing the artwork for yourself.

*In the case of emotes, the same rights apply, and I will send you any size you wish, but the basic size you always get is 800x800px, 300DPI

I don't send PSDs, source files or progress as a part of the price. We can discuss this if you let me know beforehand.
