Terms of Service for Commissioning StarlitLantern

Please Note: These are subject to change.I, the artist, reserve the right to accept or refuse projects based on my discretion and capabilities.GENERAL
- Stated commission prices are for personal use ONLY. If you are planning to use the commissioned artwork for sale, such as in the use of prints or merch, then please mention this to me upon requesting a commission, as there will be an extra fee which will vary depending on the commission in question.
- Prices may vary depending on the complexity of a commission, which may affect the amount of time spent working on it.
- I have full rights to the commission, however if you do not want me to share it anywhere or add it to my portfolio, please let me know in advance.
- I have my own style, please bear this in mind before commissioning me.
- Art may be shared freely by the client, however please credit me if sharing the non-watermarked version!
- Art may be re-sold ONCE for AT MOST the same price as it was purchased for.
- Art may NOT be used in AI or NFT.
- Designs created by me may be altered after a commission is completed.
CONTENT RESTRICTIONS
- I will not create content that is explicit, offensive, or inappropriate.
Specific restrictions include but are not limited to: explicit adult content and heavy gore.
PRODUCT
- The client will receive both a watermarked and non-watermarked version of the commission to use within TOS. Depending on the piece, the client may also receive a transparent PNG.
- When posting the art on certain sites like Bluesky or Discord, I will post a watermarked version.
PAYMENTS
- Payment can be done either fully upfront, or, if a commission is over $300 in price, payment plans may be discussed. In the case of full upfront payment, I will not begin work until the payment is received. In the case of a payment plan, the client will not receive the full quality, non-watermarked, or transparent versions of the art piece until payment is fully completed.
REFUNDS
- There will be no refunds accepted from the client's side whatsoever. Please be certain that you wish to purchase my services before doing so.
- A refund will only happen in the event that I am unable to complete a commission and/or decide to cancel it.
- I reserve the right to cancel the commission if I deem that the client is behaving inappropriately or violates the TOS.
RUSH ORDERS
- I am not taking any rush orders at this time, as life is currently in a very unpredictable state and I must ensure that I have time to complete commissions before considering this option.
REVISIONS
- Revisions are available during the sketch phases and flat coloring phase, unless the commission is Skeb style. Skeb style commissions will have no revisions available whatsoever.
DEADLINES AND DELIVERY
- Waiting times may vary, however the actual turnaround time will be anywhere up to 31 days. I will do my best to get commissions done before that time, but there is no guarantee.
- If you have a specific deadline, please specify it when requesting a commission!
USE
- You may use the commissioned work for personal use, streaming, and content creation, but you cannot use it to make money by producing merchandise or for other commercial purposes without my permission.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
- I retain the original copyright and ownership of all work I do, which includes but may not be limited to advertising, displaying commissions on my websites, social media and portfolios according to my discretion. I have rights to repurpose unused process work for future projects, personal or otherwise.
- Commercial licenses require additional charges, please discuss this with me first.
- Any art created by me will likely be posted on places like Bluesky or Discord, or streamed on places like Twitch or Youtube. If you do not wish for me to share the commission or its process anywhere, please let me know in your request.
