---

By commisisning me, you agree that you've read and agree to my terms and conditions. Understand that I am a human first, and artist second. Punishable offences include, but are not limited to dehumanizing conversation, poor treatment towards me, sexualizing or objectifying me or continued uncomfortable conversation after being told to stop. I will send a courtesy message explaining what led to the cancellation and any other action. Penalties include commission cancellations, partial refunds, blacklisting, and a seller / artist beware post. The refusal of refunds is only applicable if the commission experience is incredibly deplorable due to the commissioner's behavior. As a protective measure, I have the right to retain screenshots of the commission conversation to use as evidence or to clear up untruthful claims.

All sales are final.
