Woofsnoot does not claim any liability to events or repercussions to the use of the commissioned piece after the conclusion of the project. Any disputes arising from the subject matter, characters, or usage of a commissioned piece is not the liability of Woofsnoot.Woofsnoot also claims no liability in the event of any legal disputes arising between unaffiliated parties after the conclusion of a project, such as theft of the client's artwork or character, or erroneous reproductions by unaffiliated parties.Alterations and Modifications
Woofsnoot agrees to fix character or content related errors in the commissioned piece for free, as many times as needed. This includes characters markings or design, or misunderstandings involving the subject matter.
This does NOT include anatomy / perspective errors, or errors that involve a higher skill level from Woofsnoot as an artist, as these errors may not be knowingly fixable at Woofsnoot's current skill level. These will be fixed on a case-by-case basis, but in terms of legal agreement, these errors are only fixed via courtesy if possible.Edits: An edit is considered any change requested to a previous stage of a commission, that was not an error as defined above. If color is being added and lineart is considered complete, requesting the lineart to be changed is considered an edit. Requesting changes to the current stage is NOT considered an edit.
Changes requested to a current stage are perfectly fine, just please stay within reason.Client agrees to, at most, only request 3 major changes & 5 minor changes per commission.Minor edit: Anything requiring less than 25% of the linework be changed, but enough to require more than a 5-minute edit. Such as part of the face to be redrawn or a hand to be redrawn.
Going over this amount may result in an edit fee for 10-25% of your commission price, billed to you for time and labor, depending on the severity of the edit.Major edit: Anything requiring at least 25% of the linework to be redrawn, such as an entire limb being changed or a pose change.
Going over this amount may result in an edit fee for 10-25% of your commission price, billed to you for time and labor, depending on the severity of the edit.Finished Commissions: If your commission has already been considered completed, the above section applies for up to 7 days from the day you receive your final files. If you require more edits after this date, you may be subject to an edit fee for 10-25% of your commission price, billed to you for time and labor, depending on the severity of the edit. This decision is made regardless of how many edits may or may not have been made during the commission process. Edits do not "rollover" and will not apply to new commissions for the same client.Edits will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but must still adhere to this Terms of Service.Woofsnoot claims no liability to alterations made by the client or a third party after the conclusion of a project, such as the addition of harmful text or imagery.
