Terms & Conditions
1. GENERAL TERMS
-
All drawings may or will include a subtle sign that you may not remove.
-
I might record the drawing process and post it on my youtube.
-
Prices are subject to change based on demand
-
I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.
​
2. PAYMENT
-
Currency accepted is either USD or SGD and can be paid through PayPal.
-
Commissions can be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval.
-
Don't send me any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and requested you to send me the payment.
​
3. PROCESS AND DELIVERY
-
I will notify you when I have started on your commission and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds)
-
While I'm working on your commission I will make reviews with you to make sure I make it just right for you!
-
The amount of reviews depends on the complexity of the work.
-
During the reviews, you will see work-in-progress and these images will usually include a watermark and be smaller than the finished piece or maybe screenshots.
-
The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work and con seasons.
-
If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.
-
Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image along with a web-friendly size. Note that there is no physical product. Depending on where you live, we can arrange to print your artwork. Just ask :)
4. REVISIONS
​
-
You get 3 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price.
-
A fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing - unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made.
-
If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
-
If your reference is unclear to start with changes will come at an extra charge.​
​
5. COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY
I, Lichael (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:

-
The buyer is allowed to:
-
Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.)

-
Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.
-
Use the artwork on their Youtube channel and in monetized videos as long as the artwork itself is not the main subject for the earnings.

Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way.
-
Claiming the artwork as your own

Altering the artwork without my consent

6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!
If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me as soon as possible so we can find a solution together.
I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you, e.g., do not want me to post your art anywhere, we can discuss this.
7. REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY
-
The buyer is not allowed a refund once I started working on the commission.
-
If for any reason, I am unable to start your commission you will receive a full refund.
-
If you cancel your order before I started it, you can get a full refund.
-
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 beforementioned 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 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.
