Terms of Service

GENERAL

I WILL REPLY WITHIN 48 HOURS TO DISCUSS DETAILS BEFORE SENDING AN INVOICE. I will start only after receiving references and payment.

I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.

Do not use my work for AI in any way. Do not edit my work with AI or use it in AI training, AI generation, or NFTs.

PAYMENTS

All prices listed are in USD. I only accept payment upfront via Paypal invoice or VGen. Direct e-transfers are also accepted for CAD payments. Half payments or payments in increments can be discussed.

I may include additional fees for commercial use.

REVISIONS

Simple revisions are included. You may request to see sketches and WIPs in advance, but changes will cost extra after the coloured image is sent.

DEADLINES AND DELIVERY

Typically 1-4 weeks, depending on your spot in my queue and the complexity of the piece. You may ask about your spot in my queue and tentative delivery date based on my estimations at the time.

PERSONAL USE POLICY

For Personal use, the client may use artwork for social media icons, banners, and assets on unmonetized platforms. Client may repost a watermarked version with credit given.

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, Discord, etc. Please include credit towards me (Samuraiflame or Saeryn).
  • Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.

COMMERCIAL USE POLICY

For Commercial Use such as streaming or posting on monetized platforms, please state so in your request, and pricing can be discussed. It will typically be an additional 75% to 100% of the original price, depending on what the finished product will be used for.

Commercial use includes:

  • Use of the commissioned piece for the purpose of financial gain, such as self-promotion, marketing, and sales, or for the purpose of directing traffic to monetized platforms. This includes ads, banners, Youtube/Twitch/streaming emotes, streaming assets, Patreon content, etc. Please include credit towards me (Samuraiflame or Saeryn).
  • Please discuss with me in advance if you plan on using the artwork for merchandising. This includes both digital and physical goods.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Ownership of Artwork. I retain all ownership rights to the Artwork as an artistic work, including marketing, copyright, and exhibition rights.

I, Samuraiflame (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing, not the buyer. Therefore, I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to: 

  • Promote myself with it everywhere
  • Publish books with it (art books, etc.)
  • Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
  • Post it wherever I want
  • The above actions will not be done if the commissioner/buyer explicitly requests it

REFUNDS

Please reach out if you seek a refund. Commissions cannot be refunded after I have started work on the commission. If you wish to cancel a commission, please discuss with me about a partial refund for any work not completed.

COMMUNICATION

If delays arise, I will do my best to communicate that.
