  • All drawings will include a signature that you may not remove.
  • Prices are subject to change based on demand.
  • I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.

COPYRIGHT / USAGE POLICY

I, Mary McCoy (the artist), claim the rights to the produced drawing. The buyer does not have the rights. Therefore, I am allowed to use the copyrighted artwork to:
  • Promote myself with it everywhere
  • Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)
  • Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
  • Post it wherever I want


The buyer is allowed to:
  • Use the commissioned piece for personal use (you can upload it on your social media profiles, forums, etc.)
  • Print the artwork for personal use
  • Repost the artwork, crediting the artist
  • Use the artwork on their Youtube channel and in monetized videos as long as the artwork itself is not the main subject for the earnings.


The following is considered copyright infringement:
  • Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially - means making money off it in any way.
  • Claiming the artwork as your own
  • Removing my signature from the artwork
  • Altering the artwork without my consent
  • Using the artwork in AI training or NFTs


I reserve the full rights to the image and it's use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased at any time).

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

I will do everything I can to make my customers happy!
If you have an issue with anything in regards to the commissioned piece, please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.
I am willing to change some of my terms for you if you ask before I start on your commission. If you, e.g., do not want me to post your art anywhere, we can discuss this.


REFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY

The buyer is not allowed a refund once I started working on the commission.
If for any reason I am unable to start your commission, you will receive a full refund.
If you cancel your order before I started it, you can receive a full refund.
If you are getting a refund, please do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
If you request a Paypal chargeback at any point, you will lose all aforementioned rights to the commissioned piece. I will decline the chargeback and supply Paypal with our conversations (in which we talk about the commission) as evidence that I have completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.


If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the aforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, Mary McCoy (the artist), and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit.
