casiopea's TOS

hi welcome to my terms of service page. by commissioning me and/or buying a design from me, you are agreeing to my terms of service.

I reserve the right to refuse any commission.
please credit any art made by me to mercurio @ toyhou.se from now on! (as of 19/8/22)
if I have you blocked on any account/website/etc. do not attempt to commission me OR do not attempt to commission art from me for someone I have blocked.
do not remove or edit my signature from my art in any way shape or form!
unless stated otherwise, I require payment upfront for my commissions! USD payment can be accepted through paypal or through my ko-fi.
do not trace/draw on top of or make any major edits to my artwork! (ex: editing or adding to the lines & color, completely recoloring my art, drawing over my art to add edits of any sort, etc.)

minor edits (ex: adding/decreasing saturation, adding visual effects like gaussian blur or chromatic aberration, adding stickers/decoration around the artwork, adding a background, adding text as long as it isn't hateful or promotes hate speech/nsfw/political themes) is OK!

do not repost my art on any social media or art sharing site without my permission. you are free to use my art for pfps/pagedolls/etc. but I would not like my art to be reposted without me knowing about it.
if I have accepted your commission you are free to ask for WIPs at any point (keep in mind I tend to work pretty fast if I have free time so don't be surprised if I finish your commission quickly.)
if I have accepted your commission + payment from you but haven't started your commission and am not able to work on it, I will completely refund your money.
under any commission post I will make I will likely have a list of what I can and cannot draw, please keep those in mind and do not ask me to draw anything under the "cannot draw" section! if you have any question about this please ask me.

please credit all designs and characters made by me to mercurio @ toyhou.se (as of 19/8/22)
all sales are final!
I can do holds on adopts/designs, but will not hold for longer than 1 week. after the 1 week hold is up and I still haven't received any updates, the character will be put back up for sale or offer.
you can trade/gift/sell a design/character made by me.

if you received the design/character for free, they are only allowed to be gifted/traded unless they come with extra commissioned art.
if you paid for the design/character, I would appreciate if you didn't sell it for more than its original worth unless it comes with extra commissioned art.

I do not appreciate people who immediately buy a design from me with the intention to immediately resell them and/or resell them for more than its original worth. this will get you blocked + blacklisted from buying or receiving any of my designs in the future.
you are allowed to add minor changes/edits to the design itself and/or redesign it as long as it keeps aspects from the original design.
you are also allowed to change the species of the design or make alternate forms for the design.
you're allowed to transfer the design to a closed species, I would appreciate if you let me know if you're doing so but it's not required.
