Before you consider commissioning me, please make sure you thoroughly read my Commission Terms.
By commissioning me, you will be held to these terms.

Commissioning something for a stream or a commercial commission? Please see this addendum!
Last Updated : July 14, 2019 - Added link to a commercial/streaming addendum. Changed some wording to be more concise.

General Terms

Please make an effort to provide as much detail & clarity when describing what you want. I reserve the right to refuse any commission for any reason. If you are rude, whiny, or trying to bribe me in any way, you will be refused service. Repeated behavior will result in being blocked without warning. 

Payment

Commissions under $50.00 need to be paid in full, upfront.
Commissions over $50.00 require a minimum $50.00 deposit before commission will be started.
Remainder to be paid upon final approval stage. (Typically, the flat color approval)
I only take $USD via Paypal at this time!
If you use another currency, please make sure to convert it into USD before paying me.

Timing

Commissions can take between 1 week to 3 months to complete based on current work list & real life factors.
Some factors that can affect time:
  • The order of which I receive commissions.
  • The complexity or style of your order/character.
  • The quantity of commissions that you order.
 I do my best to complete commissions in a timely manner, but real life issues can cause delays. If there are any serious delay issues commissioners will be notified. 

As the artist I will do my best to respond to any inquiries within a timely manner.
You agree to review works in progress and provide commentary, all change requests, approve the work and so on in a reasonable timeframe of three (3) days. Please note that if a deadline is set in place, my ability to deliver the final product is affected by delayed responses. I will also communicate to you of any delays on my end.

satisfaction & Changes

I always strive to make sure all commissions meet the quality expected by the commissioner.
However, I am only able to be as detailed as the information provided by the commissioner. If I have made a mistake based on information given to me, please alert me asap so I may fix it.
Client will be allowed changes at three (3) phases of the commission: Sketch phase, Lineart Phase, and Flat color.  After the flat color is approved, any changes will require a additional fee based on the changes requested.
I can only work with what I am given. I am not required to do additional research for reference images.
*I only accept visual references for character commissions. Written descriptions will not be accepted unless for ref sheets & character design, or under special circumstances*

Copyright & Usage Policy

I, the artist, hold all copyright to the produced artwork, not the commissioner, unless otherwise stated. The commission is only to be used by myself and the commissioner.
Therefore, I am allowed by law:
  • To reproduce the work in copies or photo records;
  • To prepare derivative works based upon the work;
  • To distribute copies of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending; and to display the copyrighted work publicly.
In addition to copyright, certain authors of works of visual art also have the rights of attribution and integrity as described in section 106A of the 1976 Copyright Act.
It is illegal for anyone to violate any of the rights provided by the copyright law to the copyright holder.

For non-commercial commissions, I grant you (the client) an Exclusive license, with modification rights. You have the perpetual and worldwide right and license to use, distribute, reproduce, adapt, modify and display the final work so long as no profit is made from the work, and proper credit is given to me. Credit includes linking to my social media pages, and/or my website. If the final work is distributed in print form, please credit my website: www.kaerbaer.com

I have the right to post your commission online to promote myself/my art. However, I will always properly credit the commissioner for their character.
If you want your commission to be private (sent directly to you and not posted anywhere) I will charge a 25% privacy fee.

The following is considered copyright infringement:
  • Reproducing/using my artwork commercially (making money off of it by any means) **Exception made for Twitch/Streaming related commissions!
  • Taking credit for my artwork
  • Removing my watermarks/signature

Cancellation / Refund Policy

If you’d like to cancel your commission, please email me.
Any commission cancelled by me is guaranteed a full refund.
Any commission cancelled after I have began working does not qualify for a refund.
