  • Failure to pay within one week (barring extraordinary circumstances or communication) will result in your request being removed from the queue.

  • You are absolutely free to request a progress update at any point, but please bear in mind that, depending on complexity, type, and queue position requests may take a month to a few months to complete from the date of initial thumbnail submittal and invoice payment.

Refunds will not be issued in such cases.

  • Additionally: Should the client decide to change or adjust the commissioned works through the use of machine learning or derived technologies, or create derivatives of the commissioned works through the use of machine learning or derived technologies I will consider this an automatic purchase of exclusive rights and charge the standard fee per artwork. Please inquire about the exact fee for your commission in advance. If the client declines to pay or persists in unauthorized use of the work I may pursue legal action to collect damages due.

  • As of this time I do not authorize my work to be used in machine learning/training of any kind and will pursue full legal action as necessary should I find any such violation of my terms of service.
