COMMISSION POLICY AND TERMS OF SERVICE

**PLEASE READ**

A lack of reading the policy on your behalf does not result in a problem on my behalf. 
You are responsible for reading the policy over.

SUMMARY

Payments I take full payments before I begin.

Time to Completion Depends very much on the complexity of the piece, the number of works I have, and how much art juice I have flowing. If you want the artwork done by a specific time, you must give me a due date. (Such as a friends birthday are understandable and I will respect that) However it is not on my part a 'formal' deadline. If you want good work, you will have to wait.

Style I have a tendency to work in several styles and to experiment frequently. If you have a style you want me to work in you must tell me. I am not a mind-reader. Sending me links of my own work for examples would be ideal. DO NOT GET UPSET IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE STYLE. YOU CAN SEE BY MY WORK AS TO HOW I TEND TO DRAW. 

Showing WIPs I only show works in progress if you specify. Otherwise I will NOT.

Originals Yes, I do send out originals if you are willing to pay for shipping. It is $10 standard and $5 for ACEO size. I will NOT add this price onto the total when we discuss the commission. If you are interested in originals, you must specify before I begin.

Rights I retain the rights to sell prints/copies of the finished commission. I retail the right to keep the original if you do not buy it, sell it to another, give it away and adjust it in any way after completion. I own the right to my artwork, not the character.



These terms apply to ALL of my art, whether it be art trades, commissions, or requests. 



FULL TERMS OF SERVICE 

- By ordering a commission from me, you [by default] agree to my Terms and Services.
I (the artist) retain all rights to the image I have made and have the right to use it as an example of my works, sell prints of the image if I choose. ( or other uses. ) If you do not pay for shipping of the original piece, I will keep it. I can sell the original and give it as a gift to someone. Note: I will not be selling your character, it is merely the image itself. If you wish me not to sell prints/other merchandise with your commission, trade, request, etc you must present a valid, logical reason, but that does not guarantee I will comply.
- If the picture is traditional, and you have paid for the shipping cost, I will mail the original to you. The top term still applies if you hold the original. It will cost $10 standard and $5 for ACEO's only.  I will NOT add this price onto the total when we first discuss the commission. I am assuming you already know shipping is extra. I am not doing this to make a profit off of you, but shipping is expensive. If you are interested in originals, you must specify before I begin.
- Shipping Costs of ORIGINAL work are determined by what is required to ship it. Packaging is about $1, Stamps can range depending on the place, and shipping payments to send it.  It will cost $10 standard and $5 for ACEO's only.
-You are free to do whatever you wish with the picture EXCEPT re-selling/making any kind of profit from it, and claiming as your own or removing the watermark/signature.
- If the character changes, is adopted or no longer yours, you retain the right to the artwork and are still subject to the commission policy. You and only you, the commissioner. Regardless of the characters status/ownership. If someone adopts the character, they (the characters new owner) retain no rights to the artwork, and like every other viewer must accept that the art is not theirs. They are free to link back to my work, but only to that extent in regards to using the commissioned piece.
-NO re-posting it to your gallery, or another website under your name. Even if you give me credit. 
-After ordering, you have up to the maximum of ONE MONTH (with contact) to pay in some way, be it in full. Please keep in contact with me if something comes up and you are not able to immediately pay.  If, for some reason, you cannot pay the money in that amount of time and need an extension to pay, let me know how much more time you will need. If you do not keep in contact with me, I am entitled to cancel your commission, or charge a re-order fee for lack of contact. I can be lenient when it comes to money issues, but I won't waste my time waiting on someone forever, when they have no intent to pay/keep in contact. This is inconvenient to both me, and to people that may want to order a commission if you are taking up space on the list.
I may change prices at any given time. I do usually give a heads up before changing prices drastically. If however, you have already ordered/paid for a commission, and I change a price before I finish your commission, you will NOT pay the updated price. The exception to this is if you do not pay for the commission in the matter of a month's time maximum, or you do not keep in contact with me. The commission is more likely to be cancelled in this event however. *I may also update my ToS, or any other information in this journal as well. Usually these are small changes that will not impact your commission. If I alter the ToS in a way that changes how commissions are done, I will put that the ToS has been updated, and the date near the top of the journal.
-Mercy Period: If for some reason you are not able to contact me in the amount of time given due to internet issues, and I have canceled your commission, I may take it again if you let me know. If not paid within the mercy period still, the commission is then canceled.
Refunds: If for some reason I am forced to cancel your commission due to unforeseen circumstances DURING the working process, and you have already paid/I have not started the commission, you will receive a full refund. Please be certain you'd like to commission before ordering/paying.  If you are worried you will not be satisfied, I can send WIP shots to you in a note along the way, or stream the commission (you must specify this, otherwise I will usually not). After the commission is done, NO refunds for any reason. 
- If you are unsatisfied with the end result- If you are highly unsatisfied with the ART, I might compensate accordingly. This is largely dependent on how you handle it. If you are rude, insulting, and unfair, I will not compensate and even remove the art in extreme cases. This does not include if you are unsatisfied with my style, It is up to you to tell me if you want it drawn a certain way. (See "Style" in summary)
If you are commissioning a gift for someone, and do not want it uploaded before a certain date, tell me ahead of time.
-I (the artist) am entitled to cancel a commission and refund (if paid for) if the commissioner is being extremely rude or otherwise unpleasant (such as constantly nagging for the commission to be completed or other inappropriate behavior). There is usually a queue, and I will get to your commission in due time. The commission is usually completed within the month, but if for any reason I take longer than I would like to get you the completed commission (or a WIP), I will let you know. Things also happen, such as art block, things/problems in real life, to where I might not be able to finish the work as quickly as I'd like. I will try my best to complete the artworks as efficiently as I can within a reasonable amount of time. I am not a machine and need time off too, please understand this. 
If for any reason I am not able to keep in contact with you and do not reply (to something that should be replied to) for a week or more, it is most likely due to me not having access to the internet, and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can. I will try to keep in contact with you in any way I can, via the library or other wifi hotspot, but in the event that I absolutely cannot get online, I ask for your understanding and patience. I will never ignore a commissioner intentionally, so rest assured that I will resume working on your commission as soon as I am physically able to. If you give me permission to work on the commission without you watching/receiving WIP's, I may have the commission already completed and ready to submit as soon as I return. 
-Clients who repeatedly ask for commissions and do not pay, or always cancel/ask for refunds last second and waste my time may be blacklisted and ineligible to commission me in the future unless I otherwise decide to remove them from the blacklist. Likewise, clients who exploit paypal in any way and get a refund when they are not applicable for one will also be blacklisted and unable to commission in the future.
-REGARDING REVISIONS TO ARTWORK AND EDIT FEES: Commissioner has max 3 edits before I do no more. I will fully revise the main sketch if need be. In traditional art - Edits to the design, if I got them wrong, are free. Large edits near the end of the piece (such as pose, background, color scheme, etc) will not be accepted. At all. In digital art -  Edits to the design, if I got them wrong, are free. Large edits should be asked for during the sketch/color phase. During the end of the piece, large edits are unacceptable, while small edits such as colour are acceptable within reason. (
-PRIVACY: I will NEVER at any time, share or sell your personal information, such as your full name, address, paypal, etc to another user on any other site on the internet. Information is otherwise treated with strict confidentiality.  



INFORMATION ON POINTS


Points are Expensive All my prices are done mathematically to match the equal amounts of points due. You are not getting a 'discount' by using points. 

Payment of Points are not to be done through the donation widget. But the COMMISSION WIDGET only. I at any time may not take point commissions. 

Point equivalent to over $10 are not accepted. You cannot pay me more then 1,000 points for a commissions. A commission over $10 is to be paid in cash, or 1,000 points plus the remaining amount in cast. (If the total is $25. You can pay 1,000 points and $15. You cannot pay 1,000 points, then 1,000 more, and then another 500 points.)

Regarding Traditional Art:


- There is no such thing as editing, changing a colour, or fixing proportions to the final result. If you do not like the colour, keep in mind I am limited to what my tools are. They will never be 'spot on' with traditional work. Poor planning on my part may be a contribution, but this does not justify anything but my apology.
- It takes longer to hand draw everything, there is always the fact that if I make a mistake, I either leave it in the piece, cover it up, or I restart the entire piece. Such as making the markings wrong, or forgetting (rarely) a part of the character. 
- It may not look the same way it does in real life. I personally try and avoid editing to 'enhance' my work, so take it with a grain of salt that the original is far more impressive then a scanned work.

FAQ


Why is your name Ooupoutto?
Ooupoutto is inspired by my last name, Ondusko. I took the Greek word for 'dusk' which translates to σούρουπο which actually sounds like "Souroupo", but I took the general Greek form and made it English. (Because it sounds better, how horrible of me *shame* ) 

Learn some Greek - 

σ - sigma
ο -omicron
ύ - upsilon
ρ - rho
ο - omicrn
υ - upsilon
π - pi
ο - omicron
Pronounced- SOUROUPO in actuality. NOT ooupoutto

What is a Commissions?
A commission is a paid piece of work. It can be customized by the commissioner to any specific details / qualifications following the Commission Policy.
