KYDRASEC TECHNOLOGIES CREATIVE SERVICES DIVISION:
Client Engagement & Terms of Service

1 • All transactions are processed exclusively through PayPal Invoice or Ko-Fi via their respective invoice systems. No alternative payment methods are accepted.2 • Clients may select one of two approved payment structures upon project initiation:
Full Upfront Payment, Total agreed fee is collected before production begins. Work commences upon confirmed receipt.
Split Payment, Fifty percent of the agreed fee is collected before production begins. The remaining fifty percent is collected upon completion, prior to delivery of final files. Work commences upon receipt of the initial payment. Final delivery occurs upon receipt of the final payment.3 • Client-initiated cancellations:
If the client cancels after full upfront payment and production has already begun, a fifty percent refund will be issued. Under the split payment structure, the initial payment is non-refundable once production has commenced. In both cases, the client may request access to any unfinished work at time of cancellation. If cancellation occurs before production has begun, a full refund will be issued.4 • Operator-initiated cancellations:
In the event that Kydrasec's operator cancels prior to delivering a finished product, while the client wished for the work to be completed, a full refund of all payments received will be issued, accompanied by any unfinished work produced up to that point.5 • No refunds will be issued following delivery of the final product and associated files.

1 • Kydrasec's operator retains the right to reproduce, publish, and distribute any produced artwork across any platform, unless a private commission agreement has been explicitly established prior to production.2 • Produced artwork may not be used for commercial purposes, converted into NFTs, or used in the training, testing, or development of any artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, neural network, or similar technology. This is non-negotiable.3 • Clients are permitted to share and use artwork for personal purposes across personal platforms, provided that appropriate credit is given to the operator. Credit may be fulfilled by referencing any of the operator's active social or art pages, or by citing the operator's screen name.4 • Edited or derivative works based on produced artwork must still carry appropriate credit to the original operator. Watermarks may not be removed under any circumstances.

1 • Kydrasec's operator reserves the right to decline or terminate any commission request at any time, for any reason, without obligation to provide explanation.2 • Clients are strongly advised to supply reference materials — including reference sheets, mood boards, pose references, or any visual assets relevant to the requested work. Adequate reference materials improve accuracy and reduce production time for both parties.3 • Production timelines vary depending on the complexity of the requested work, current workload, and other operational factors. A time estimate will be provided at the outset of production. The client will be notified of any developments that may significantly affect the projected timeline.4 • Stage previews will be shared with the client throughout production. The number of previews will be determined by the type and complexity of the work. Client approval is required before proceeding to each subsequent stage.5 • Revisions during the sketch phase are provided at no additional cost. Significant or structural changes requested after the final sketch has been approved may incur an additional fee. No changes will be accepted or applied after the final product has been approved and delivered.6 • A time-lapse recording of the production process will be included with final delivery. The client acknowledges that due to the technical limitations of recording software, portions of the process may not be captured. These gaps cannot be recovered. Acceptance of these terms constitutes acknowledgment of this condition.

Clients found to be in intentional violation of these terms will be permanently declined from future service requests and added to Kydrasec's restricted client registry.
