Terms & Conditions

Do note that any terms negotiated personally can override the following terms and conditions. Legal contracts drafted by me take precedence over these terms. By contacting me, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

Communication

Please address me as either Ricket or Zorkxa, and with gender neutral language. If you have to refer to me, please use the gender neutral they/them/their pronouns.
Please do not request for video calls or meet-ups if we have never completed a paid project together. You may send me voice or video clips.
Do not pester for personal information. Full NRIC number or copies will never be provided unless required by law. Only partial NRIC numbers may be provided for agreements and contracts.

Payment

Payment will be either full upfront, or half upfront and another half at the midway point (usually just before coloring stage) are sent.
There may be additional charges if split payment is chosen because of extra payment transaction fees.
Charges may apply accordingly should we be dealing through a third-party platform.
There will be no refunds.

Revisions and Edits

There can be 1 major edit and 1-2 minor edits. Major edits are only available during draft or sketch stage. Any additional edits will be charged accordingly. Examples of major edits are changes in poses, angle/perspective and characters. The final discretion of whether an edit is major or minor remains with me.
The client will be made known of situations where revisions may incur extra charges before the revisions are made.
Pieces will take longer to complete if the client is not prompt in reviewing the drafts and work-in-progress stages.
Editing my work without my permission is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to: directly changing the contents of the artwork, changing the colors, stretching/squashing the work on either axes (ie. resize without retaining the image aspect ratio). This does not include: resizing proportionally, cropping, creating a greyscale version, overlaying text, changing to CMYK for printing purposes.

License and Rights

Unless otherwise discussed, commercial and exclusive rights are NOT included.
Without purchasing exclusive rights, I retain the rights to use the artwork for other purposes, such as but not limited to, publicity for my services, as a collage, representation of my work in physical or digital form or personal use.
If you plan to use the artwork on merchandise or for any kind of commercial use (including branding or representing a website that is selling anything), please discuss with me first.
Should the client approach me for art intended to be used for streaming channels such as Twitch or YouTube, the commercial rights included in the price only includes usage to attract bits, subscriptions and donations, and does not include merchandising or cross-use for other platforms (eg. shops, OnlyFans, etc). Please make any intentions of commercial usage outside expected purposes clear before starting the commission.
Reselling of artwork is not allowed.
Unless otherwise discussed, the commissioned work and its derivatives may be made public through means such as social media, live streams and on my website. If the piece is intended to be a surprise, please let me know in advance and I can keep the piece private for 2 weeks. If the piece is to be kept private for longer periods of time, there will be an additional privacy fee.
You declare that you have permissions from all the owners of the drawing subjects or from the person being drawn to create the artwork you are commissioning.

Delivery Time

Please let me know if you have a specific date for a deadline, or the project will be delivered on my timeline. You will be informed as early as possible should I anticipate that I will be unable to meet said deadline.
It may be possible to pay rush fees to expedite the production.

Credits

If you have a preference whether you want to be credited or made anonymous, and/or preference of a name for crediting, please let me know in advance or I would use my own discretion.
Credits to me are highly appreciated. Do not falsely credit another person or entity if I have created the work.
