King-Icarus' Terms of Service

• Carrd hub
• HARPG & ARPG ToS

• Examples

01. General Terms

1. You agree that you are 18 years or older. I avoid interacting with minors (under 18 years of age) wherever I can.
2. All drawings may or will include a subtle signature that you may not remove.
3. I might record the drawing process and post it on my social media (e.g. YouTube, Instagram…).
4. Prices are subject to change based on demand.
5. I have the right to reject any order that I do not feel comfortable drawing for any reason.
6. Once a piece is completed, a refund unless the finished product is not as advertised.
7. Under no circumstances will any of my work be used as and/or for Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) or Blockchains.
8. Under no circumstances will any of my work be allowed for use in Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated “art”.

02. Payment

1. Accepted currency is USD via Paypal invoice.
2. Commissions can be paid either 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval.
3. Do not send any payment before I have agreed to give you a slot and you have been requested to send the payment.

03. Process & Delivery

1. You get 5 rounds of changes on the commissioned piece included in the price.
2. Unless a misunderstanding from my side has been made, a fee will be added if you want something changed on the final drawing.
3. If you wish for me to change something in the drawing you have previously approved, I will charge you a fee to change it. The amount of the extra charge depends on the change you want me to make and is usually based on an hourly wage.
4. If your reference is unclear to start with, changes will come at an extra charge.

04. Revisions

1. I will notify you when I have started on your commission and you, therefore, lose the rights to a refund (see point 7 further below for more info on refunds).
2. While I'm working on your commission I will make reviews with you to make sure I make it just right for you!
3. The amount of reviews depends on the complexity of the work.
4. During the reviews, you will see work-in-progress and these images will usually include a watermark and be smaller than the finished piece.
5. The time it takes to finish your commission varies 1 week - 3 months depending on factors such as health, the complexity of the commissioned piece, other work, or offline factors.
6. If anything comes up that will slow the progress of the initially estimated delivery time I will let you know asap.
7. Once the piece is finished you will receive the full-resolution image along with a web-friendly size. Note that there is no physical product. Depending on where you live, we can arrange to print your artwork. Just ask.

05. Copyright & Usage Policy

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

1. Promote myself with it everywhere
2. Publish books with it (artbooks, etc.)
3. Display it everywhere to my liking (website, social media, etc.)
4. Post it wherever I want.

You (the buyer) are allowed to:

1. Use the commissioned piece for personal use unless agreed otherwise with proper credit (you can upload it on all your social media profiles, forums, etc.).
2. Print the artwork and claim the character(s) as their own, but not the artwork itself.
3. Use the artwork to promote themselves. You are not forced to give me credit when you post it but it is very appreciated.
4. 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.

05-A. Examples of Copyright Infringement

1. Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially (e.g. means making money off it in any way). This includes use as a Non-fungible Token.
2. Claiming the artwork as your own.
3. Removing my signature from the artwork.
4. Altering the artwork without my consent.
5. I reserve the full rights to the image and its use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon (rights to the image for your own non-personal use may be purchased at any time).

06. Customer Satisfaction

1. I will do what I can to make my customers happy!
2. If you have a problem with anything in regards to the commissioned piece please tell me right away so we can find a solution together.
3. 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.

07. Refunds & Cancellations

1. The buyer is not allowed a refund once I start working on the commission.
2. If for any reason I am unable to start your commission after you have paid, you will receive a full refund.
3. If you cancel your order before I start it, you can receive a full refund.
If you are getting a refund, do not request a Paypal chargeback. I will transfer the money back to you myself.
4. If you request a Paypal chargeback at any point after a full refund is available, you will lose all aforementioned rights to the commissioned piece and I will have the full right to profit further from it in any way. I will decline the chargeback and supply Paypal with our conversations in which we discussed the commission as evidence that I have started or completed work for you. Furthermore, you will be blacklisted for commissioning me again.
5. If the buyer breaks any of the points stated above they will lose all the aforementioned rights to the artwork commissioned by me, King-Icarus (the artist), and I will have the right to profit further from the commissioned artwork in any way I see fit. If you have a problem with any of these statements, they may be changed if discussed with me prior to paying your commissioned piece.

08. What you receive;

1. Drafts/mockups that you must decide which one I should continue with (depending on the complexity of the commission there might be fewer or more drafts).
2. Sketch and/or final sketches that you must accept before I continue the work.
3. Insight and involvement in color plan (depending on the complexity of the commissioned piece).
4. Full-resolution file of final drawing and a smaller version for internet upload. Final file formats are usually PNG.
