REFUSAL OF SERVICE
- Be aware that, as an artist, Nolva Novaes reserves the right to refuse any service to the customer for reasons Nolva Novaes determines and/or does not agree with. This includes if the commissioner is rude, threatening or unreasonable, the idea of the commission being something that Nolva Novaes does not design or if we are having communication problems.- Harassment, determined by Nolva Novaes, is not tolerated in any way. If the commissioner displays harassment of any kind, Nolva Novaes reserves the right to withdraw from the commission/job. Notice will be given except in extreme circumstances such as verbal threats, stalking of any kind, sexual harassment or mobbing.- Please see the “Refund” section below for details.- In extreme harassment/threat situations that require a security lockout, advance notice will be issued and if the behavior continues, refunds will not be considered. Your payments will be forfeited.- In addition, Nolva Novaes reserves the right to blacklist commissioners. Being blacklisted is defined herein as bearing any other services or purchases.
COMMISSIONS/ CUSTOM INFO
- Commissions will be made in order of arrival/reservation and payment for the work.- If you have reserved a place, Nolva Novaes will contact you to let you know. If the customer takes too long to return the commission initiation message or delays the initial payment (depending on the reason), it will be passed on to the next customer in line. And the customer who was late, if he responds later, will be served following the one who was initially in the queue. (Let's be fair to everyone on the waitlist).- If you cancel your slot in the waiting queue, there will be no amount to pay for the cancellation, just let me know.- Up to two commissions are made at the same time, when one of the commissions ends, Nolva Novaes will start the next one in line.- Nolva Novaes will always send images to the client so that they can see the progress of the commission, and respectively can tell if they agree or if they want any changes to the art.- I usually don't work Saturday and Sunday.- At the end of the order, it will be delivered to the customer in the following standards: PNG/JPEG file format, 600 dpi, and two versions, with and without watermark. (File format, resolution and dpi can be changed if the customer wishes).- Please do not rush/demand that Nolva Novaes speed up/accelerate the process, so that a well-made commission is delivered. In case of unforeseen circumstances, YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE.
PAYMENT
- Payment by Paypal, Pix or Pic Pay (in the case of Paypal I send the invoice).- Nolva Novaes will require an initial payment of 50% that must be made in advance to start the commission, the remaining 50% of the payment must be paid when the commission is finalized, in order to receive it. (If the customer wants to send 100% of the advance amount, it will be at the customer's discretion).- In the case of Ref Sheets, the customer can pay in up to 4 installments. The first part of the payment is to start the sketch, the second part when the lienart is ready, the third for the base color and the last for when it is finished. The installments depend on what works best for the customer. But only up to 4 installments.- In case of character customization, the value must be in line with Nolva Novaes.- If there are many changes during the commission, AN EXTRA VALUE WILL BE CHARGED.
ARTWORK USAGE:
- Always credit Nolva Novaes correctly.- Do not remove or edit my watermark and signature from the artwork..- Do not steal, trace, copy, reference or claim my art as yours.- Do not use my art for AI or NFTs.- Do not sell art by Nolva Novaes (unless its commercial use has been discussed). In the case of sale of art for commercial use, it is necessary to agree on the percentage in value to be delivered to the original artist, for each art sold commercially by the client.- Do not copy/create an art similar to the one Nolva Novaes drew, do not make a twin to the drawing. Nor paint/modify any of the orders/adopt/drawings purchased.
RULES FOR BUYING, SALE OR EXCHANGE OF ADOPTS ART
- There is availability to make PAYMENT PLAN!- Payment Plans are to be agreed with Nolva Novaes. In general, an entry amount will be required as payment (the amount to be agreed), the rest of the payment can be in installments that will be made according to what the customer can pay within 2 months.- In case you want to change/choose the color palette of the adopt, you must first announce it while the art is still in the sketch or lineart process. After the auction/sale opens, the colors cannot be changed anymore, as the art has already been finalized (this includes previous posts showing the finished art for the auction/sale).- Please only bid/offer if you are 100% sure you can pay.- Cash only (Payment by Paypal, Pix or Pic Pay).- Do not resell the character/design for more than you paid for it. (Except if they come with extra artwork that was done later).- After paying the bid amount, Nolva Novaes will send you the character reference in maximum resolution by your email.- Don't say you created it, even paying for the art, credit for the design goes to Nolva Novaes.- If you want to redesign the current appearance of one of my fosters that you bought, you can make small changes, but DO NOT make it totally different than it was before.- Do not apply your own rules to auctioned designs.ACRONYMS OF BIDDING IN AUCTIONS:SB = Starting Bid
MIN = Minimum Increase
AB = Automatic Purchase
BIDDING RULES
- A chain of comments will start below.- Bid in response to the current highest bid.- When the auction is over, I'll let you know you've won.- PRE-BIDDED adopt designs are not entitled to edits, UNLESS autobought and if it was discussed beforehand. It's not a custom design, it's a normal character design adopt.- In case of booking for an adopt, I hold the character up to 3 days after the order, if I don't show up to pick up the character, it will revert to being "available for purchase".- Don't bid if you cannot pay immediately. (Unless we negotiate a payment plan in my dm).
REFUNDS
- 35% of the amount is non-refundable after the Sketch / Sketch + Flat Color is done and shown to the customer.
*(In case the commission is a Sketch or Sketch + Flat Color, if art is already 25% done, there will be no refund of 35% of the value).- 50% is non-refundable after Line Art and Line Art + Flat Colors is done and shown to the customer.
*(In case the commission is Line Art or Line Art + Flat Color, if art is already 50% done, there will be no refund, there will be no refund of 50% of the value).- Absolutely NOT refundable after the commission shading process starts, as the customer has already had a long time to change their mind.- For Adopts or Ref Sheet payment plans, there will be NO refunds if the Adopt or Ref Sheet has already been completed or sent to the customer's email address.- The final deposit is non-refundable if the design is canceled and the commission is finalized. (Changes are accepted before finalization.)
BLACKLIST / REFUSAL OF SERVICE
- Nolva Novaes reserves the right to blacklist anyone for any apparent reason in the "Refusal of Service" section. (Please see the “Refund” section for details). You do not need to be a commissioner, follower or have any relationship with me. If you are blocked, you are blacklisted.- When Nolva Novaes blacklists you, there may be a brief explanation why you were blocked (unless you are not a follower and don't know who Nolva Novaes is), but it is not Nolva Novaes responsibility.- If Nolva Novaes thinks it's obvious that he blocked you, Nolva Novaes won't explain. This is not up for debate.- Whatever character designs and art of mine you have before getting blacklisted are still yours. You are still expected to follow my terms of service with characters and art of mine you owned before being blacklisted. If I find out you've broken my terms with said characters or art, I will make a public beware.
