Terms of Service
You must agree to the following to commission me.
General
Commissions operate under a "Work for Hire" contract, meaning all copyrights for the commissioned work belongs completely to the client. The client may grant me permission to make fan art or merch to sell, but they aren't obligated to. If I receive permission to, this doesn't affect their ownership rights.
I keep an archive of all art I make for portfolio and marketing purposes. By agreeing to this TOS, the client grants me permission to post my work on my website dreamthatneverwas.com and other business profiles, including but not limited to Twitter, Youtube, and VGen. I cannot post the original files, only preview images and video clips to demonstrate my labor.
The client must credit me on social media or on their streaming platform of choice (Twitch Panels, Twitter Bio, etc.) as long as they use the model. It must be clearly visible and easily accessible. This extends to all future owners.
Payments
Default payment plans are set to half at the start, half at the end. Payment plans are possible, but I only give files after the final payment processes. Included with your files are .pdfs explaining how to install them on OBS and VTube Studio. I can help you set up the files personally via Discord Call.
For shorter written works, I require all payment up front. No payment plans.
Revisions
You will have unlimited revisions during the Sketching Phase and receive frequent updates as we work to finish within the deadline.
Once Painting/Rendering starts, major changes to design will require additional payment and in extreme cases, an extended deadline.
During the Final Edits Phase, revisions will be extremely limited and focused on refinement.
For written works, you have unlimited revisions for the brainstorm/outline phase, 3 revisions in the drafting phase, and 2 in the final edits phase.
Deadlines & Delivery
I accept 1-3 Commissions per month. I only queue 3 months out. When commissions are complete, I provide a private Google Drive link to download your files. Never share this link with anyone. I never give clients the .cmo3 files.
Intellectual Property Rights
Clients don't need my permission to sell any art they pay me for, but they can’t claim they made the art themselves. Every owner of my work must credit me on their social media or streaming sites for as long as they own and use the art. I don't require credit for any short written works under 5000 words.
Refunds
Both you and I can cancel commissions at any time. I refund at a $20hr rate, keeping what I work.
Communication
I prefer to start with a Discord Call, but email works too. Our first conversation decides the update schedule and answers any questions I have about your order. If you don't respond to my messages within the first two weeks after I start sending them (when I begin your order), I will cancel your commission.
Should I need an extended break, I will notify all clients immediately. They may choose to work with someone else, upon which I will grant them the unfinished work files. I will not charge extra for the wait, and deadlines will have to be extended on VGen to prevent my account from being terminated.
