Once a slot has been secured through private message or email, clients will be asked to fill out a designated commission form.Any unclear and/or missing information should be verified by the client before any progress can be started.Upon receiving payment, a sketch will be sent to the client to determine if changes are needed. The sketch must be approved in order for me to continue progress.Completed pieces will be sent through a Sta.sh link and additional touch-ups can be requested!
CommunicationClients and I must agree to communicate in a concise manner.Any form of harassment, rude behavior, and/or haggling will result in the immediate termination of the commission slot.I as the artist, have the right to turn down clients exhibiting this kind of behavior and ban them from claiming future commission slots.
PaymentsClients agree to pay full price before any progress can be started.Payments must be paid through invoice sent via PayPal. I typically do not accept payments through Venmo or CashApp.Payment holds are not allowed. Failure to pay an invoice after 1 week of receiving it will result in the termination of the commission slot.
RefundsIf clients choose a refund, the amount is dependent on the stage of progress:100% refund if no progress has been started, 50% refund if a sketch has been completed, 25% refund at half completion, and no refund if the piece has been completed.
