Terms Of Agreement

I, Heather Scott, reserve the right to decline any commission request without question.
I reserve the right to include any commission – or if the original is sent out, a copy of a commission – in my portfolio.
I reserve the full rights to the commissioned piece and it’s use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon.

Rights to the commission for your own non-personal use may be purchased. See “Non-Personal Use” below

I reserve the right to display commissioned pieces on my website(s) or DeviantART gallery.

If the commission features an original character created by you, credit to you will be noted accordingly.
If you do not want your commission displayed for whatever reason, please inform me of this in a written form in advance.

If a commission in progress requires additional pricing, an explanation will be provided.

Personal Use commissions are priced without distribution or commercial licenses. They can not be used in any publication without expressed written permission by me (whether or not they are for profit).

You may not claim the work to be your own or set it up for redistribution. See “Non-Personal Use” below.
I will allow commissions to be used for icons, signatures, wallpapers, themes and personal site display as long they pertain to you and a profit is not to be made off of them.

I will not begin the piece until I have received payment, once I have received payment, I will continue to update you on the production of the piece, all pieces are begun and finished in the order that I receive payment.

If you have ordered a large commission and wish to pay with a payment plan, it can be discussed.

When ordering a large number of commissions (for project, extended work) you are required to sign a contract of hire.
All commissions are non-refundable.

Non-personal use includes, but is not limited to, art prints, clipart, book illustrations, covers, game illustrations/concepts, adoptables/petsite pets, shirts, or any other publishing (regardless of it if is for profit or not).
Acquisition of rights to non-personal use does not disacknowledge my artist rights as defined in the terms of agreement above.
For art sites or art books (that a piece has been commissioned to appear in) I require proper credit under the name of Heather G. Scott for my work. Standard credits for novel covers apply.
