ON PAYMENT AND REFUNDS

regardless of the situation, the client should always contact the artist if they have questions about payment or are considering a refund, however, the situation changes a lot depending on where the purchase is made:

1. if the client is purchasing from the Ko-fi Shop, the client must understand that:
    a. payment and artwork delivery is processed by the Ko-fi website and their full responsibility
    b. payment is done through either Paypal or Stripe
    c. the artwork is provided as is, without any warranty or condition. the client does not have a right to request a refund

2. if the client is purchasing directly with the artist, the client must understand that:
    a. payment and artwork delivery is done by the artist and their full responsibility
    b. payment is done through either Paypal, Stripe or Wise
    c. the client does have a right to request a refund during the first month after payment only
    d. the artist reserves the right to deny any refunds

once a refund is processed the client loses all rights to the artwork and the artist has a right to have any of the client's public uses of the artwork taken down indefinitely.
