Service Guidelines & Creative Terms

By placing an order or using any of my content, you're agreeing to the following standards of cooperation and licensing.

Commission Policy
All custom work begins only after a 50% deposit has been received.
The remaining balance is due prior to the final delivery of files.
Refunds are not available once creative work has commenced.
Note: Full upfront payment is not accepted unless there is an established working relationship.

Delivery & Deadlines
Delivery times vary depending on the complexity of the project and current workload.
Smaller tasks may be completed within a few days, while larger or more detailed commissions may take several weeks.
Note: Expedited (rush) delivery is not guaranteed.

Ownership & Usage
All purchases grant usage rights only. Full ownership and copyright are retained unless explicitly transferred in writing.
Premade content may be reused, resold, or repurposed unless marked and sold as "Exclusive."
Unused, rejected, or unrevised designs remain the intellectual property of the creator and may be used in future work.

Asset Sources & Licensing
Any third-party elements used in a project (such as textures, fonts, or models) are either original or sourced from properly licensed commercial libraries and services. If a premium element is required, written approval will be requested before it is acquired and used.

Dormant Projects
If no communication is received from the client for more than 30 consecutive days, the project will be marked as inactive. In such cases, the initial deposit will be forfeited. A new deposit and updated agreement will be required to resume work.

Permitted Usage
Depending on the license purchased (Standard, Full Permission, or Exclusive), you are allowed to:
– Use the delivered content within your brand, platform, game, or project
– Resell the content only if Full Permission or resale rights have been explicitly granted
– Make modifications within the terms of the agreed license

You are not permitted to:
– Claim authorship of the work
– Reupload, reshare, or distribute the work outside of the agreed terms
– Use the work in a broader scope than what was originally licensed

Portfolio Use / Personal Conduct
Selected work (final or in-progress) may be displayed in a professional portfolio or promotional showcase unless otherwise requested in writing.
Unprofessional, aggressive, or inappropriate communication may result in suspension or termination of the project at the creator’s discretion.

Additional Terms
If clarification or adjustments are required for specific licensing terms, alternate usage, or custom agreements, these must be discussed in advance of the project start.

Summary of Key Terms
– A 50% deposit is required before work begins; no refunds once the project is underway
– Deliverables are licensed for use, not owned unless stated otherwise
– Delivery timelines depend on the scope and workload
– Work must not imitate third-party content or violate copyright
– Usage outside of agreed terms is prohibited

Copyright & Legal Protection
All content created and delivered by me,including but not limited to 3D models, graphics, logos, branding kits, digital assets, textures, animations, web graphics, promotional content, and UI elements is considered original intellectual property and is protected under applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all rights are retained by the creator. Purchase of a product or commission only grants the buyer a limited license to use the asset under the agreed terms (Standard, Full Permission, or Exclusive), and does not transfer ownership or full copyright.

You are strictly prohibited from:
– Copying, editing, or adapting the work for resale or redistribution outside of the permitted license
– Rebranding or re-releasing any part of the content as your own
– Using the content for commercial purposes not included in the agreed license
– Sharing, leaking, or redistributing files to third parties or alternate accounts

Any unauthorized use, duplication, reproduction, or resale of my work will be considered a violation of intellectual property rights and may result in:
– Formal copyright claims and removal notices through relevant platforms
– Legal action to protect original work
– Blacklisting from future services

I reserve the right to protect my creative content across all platforms and marketplaces, including (but not limited to) gaming networks, digital storefronts, marketplace services, content-sharing platforms, and private servers.

Respecting the intellectual property and originality of digital creators is not optional,it is a legal obligation.
