Terms of Service
Please read all of the below terms before commissioning me. By doing so, you agree to these terms by default.
General Commissions TOS
- I reserve the right to decline any commission request for whatever reason.
- I reserve the right to post finished commissions in any webspace I own, such as deviantART or Twitter.
- I do not allow the editing of my artwork due to great personal discomfort, nor do I allow my artwork to be traced or otherwise tampered with.
- I may take a while to start/complete your commission due to medical reasons slowing down my work pace. Please be patient with me!
- If you are worried I have forgotten about your commission, please check my Trello. If it is on there, I have not forgotten about it! If your commission is not anywhere on this list, please get in touch with me.
Payments and Cancellations
- I do not accept commercial commissions - everything you commission from me is for your personal use only.
- Once I have started your commission I cannot refund you, however I will send work-in-progress updates at each stage of the process and am willing to fix any issues throughout.
- I no longer accept deviantART points as payment. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!
- I will not complete and send your artwork unless full payment has been received.
- Chargebacks will result in an immediate ban from all future sales of any kind. Please don't be that person.
- I will not work with blank or brand-new accounts.
Art Rights
- In buying a commission from me you will "co-own" the rights to the artwork. This means you can use it as personal site decoration or otherwise post it wherever you choose, provided it is unedited (with the exception of cropping if necessary) and credited properly with a link to whichever of my social medias is most appropriate for the website it is posted on (usually this will be my deviantART).
- Please note that you post unwatermarked versions of any commissioned artwork at your own risk.
- If you are selling any characters that have artwork you commissioned from me, you have the right to add the price you paid (or less) for said commission(s) to the resale value of the character. You relinquish any right to use the art once it is resold.
- I am not responsible for any artwork that I delete from my gallery or galleries. Once you receive a completed commission, it is your responsibility to save it and/or back up the file, as I may not keep a copy of it.
- Do not sell my artwork on any physical merchandise, including T-shirts, mobile phone cases, bags, mugs, prints or any other products. This is considered commercial work, which I do not provide services for.
Custom Designs and Adoptables
- You may only resell any design I have made for the price you personally paid for it, including its original price and commissions. Any artwork you have personally created for the design can be added based on the value of your own commission prices.
- If you received a design I have made in a trade, the above still applies.
- You do not need to contact me if you are trading or selling a design I have made.
- You may redesign a character I have designed as much as you like - I only ask that I am still credited for its original creation.
- When uploading designs I have made to Toyhou.se, please credit me there under the username Aesaii.
- Upon winning an auction or claiming an adoptable design, I will ask for your PayPal address. Once I have sent the invoice for the design, you will have 24 hours to pay it before I cancel the invoice and either pass the right to buy it to the previous bidder or re-auction/resell the design.
- The exception for the above is if you have contacted me prior to claiming/winning an auction about a payment plan and we have agreed upon a timeframe should you win the design. I will not allow a payment plan unless it has been discussed with me beforehand.
- I reserve the right to decline to hold a design for a user as well as to decline a payment plan for any reason I deem necessary.
- You may use any design I have created in "breedings", provided any derivative designs made from them are not carbon-copies and are recognisable as their own characters.
Waterdog Species
- Any Waterdog designs I have created are strictly kept under the terms of ownership outlined by the species itself, found on the species' main homepage here. These override any of my own that conflict with the species'.
- Please do not remove any of my Waterdog designs from the species. This includes voiding them intentionally with the purpose of changing its species.
- While I allow any of my Waterdog designs to have alternate forms (for example a normal canine design), please do not turn any of my Waterdog designs into Bayfoxes, Spacecats or any other closed species that are extremely similar in design appearance. I am uncomfortable with this for personal reasons.
