TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS)
Last Updated: Jan 6th, 2023
Edited Jan 6th- Addition in 'General Info' about AI.
NOTE: Though I am Canadian my prices are listed in USD.
I accept payments through PayPal, E-transfer, Ko-fi, Stripe, BuyMeACoffee, Cashapp* and DA points ($1 = 100 points) If you need any accommodations or alternatives feel free to ask. Please note that I cannot take payment via Venmo as they are US and UK region locked.
*I now accept Cashapp but via a trusted third-party member. If you are not comfortable with this I would suggest a different payment method.
By commissioning me you are agreeing to my terms of service. Failure to abide by these rules may result in you being blacklisted and no longer being allowed to buy services from me, including adopts, customs, YCHs, etc. Nor be allowed to participate in any future raffles or giveaways I host. Current blacklisted users are at the end of this document.
For commissions please contact me using the following:

GENERAL INFO:
RULES:
3b. You are free to do things such as cropping or putting filters and/or borders on my work for things such as profile pictures.
-If I am taking longer than usual don't be shy to contact me! But be sure to do so in a respectful manner.
REFUNDS:
I will only give refunds if:
3b. There are a few exceptions to this rule such as loss of contact with buyer or due to emergency situations.
3c. The buyer is not allowed to use the incomplete commission if a refund has been issued.
3a. Due to an increase of refund requests from impulsive buyers there is now a 1 week cool down from the initial date of purchase before asking for a refund. This rule does not apply to emergency situations like unexpected fees, bills, hospital/vet emergencies, etc. The buyer does not need to go into detail about their situation to be issued a refund in this instance.
As a baseline I only send the initial sketch to confirm if everything is accurate (Customs have an additional checkpoint for colour correction) and then the finished piece with the option to fix any minor details. The buyer is free to ask for any major changes throughout the commission process.
If you’d like frequent updates between phases please let me know as soon as possible. If not, you can usually find the progress of your commission via my trello that I update frequently: https://trello.com/b/OvyNovMS/commissions-to-do Please note that some commissions are done faster than others depending on easability.
DOS AND DON'TS:
I will draw:
I will NOT draw:
If there is something not on the lists that you are curious about please feel free to contact me on any of my available social media. The fastest way to contact me is via Discord.
ABOUT CUSTOMS AND ADOPTS:
Due to conflicts in the past please do not resell my designs on social media such as Amiibo, Facebook, etc. as these are high traffic sites for character theft. If you see a user selling any of my designs or personal OCs on these websites please contact me immediately so I may handle the situation.
In general you are allowed to trade and gift any design I have made no matter the way it was obtained, though I would highly appreciate being notified of it beforehand. This does not apply to redesigns unless it was a character I had made in the past.
On sites such as Toyhouse or Deviantart you are more than welcome to resell as long as it was for the base price you had bought it for (unless additional pieces were purchased and/or created- not including gift art).
Users are not allowed to add additional rules to my designs (this does not apply to closed species rules) nor be allowed to revoke on my behalf as that is not something I practice.
*Please note that when trading the worth of the design goes down to 0 until additional art has been personally made or purchased.
-Please be responsible with this rule as I do not condone over inflation of worth on my designs.
Trading for a character of different worth does not increase or decrease the value of the design.
You are able to turn any character created by me into a closed species or AU, but not to make a closed species off of the base design alone.
Though not mandatory it is highly encouraged to not erase minority aspects in my designs (ie. making a dark skinned character light, a fat character's weight skinny, etc.) I can not police this in every one of my designs but as a POC artist it makes me extremely uncomfortable.
If redesigning a character made by me please notify me, it is not mandatory but highly encouraged. When redesigning please keep the design recognizable from the original, you are free to ask me personally if you think a design has strayed too far from its original version.
