Client: The individual or entity commissioning my services.

Rigger: Myself, the person responsible for creating the product.

Artist: The individual responsible for creating and preparing the Materials for your project.

Materials: The essential assets you provide, created by the Artist, in the form of a properly layered PSD (Photoshop) file.

Cutting: The process of segmenting and dividing layers on the Materials for the rigging process.

Deliverables: A compressed archive file containing the runtime files for your model. This includes the Live2D model file (*.moc3), configuration files (*.vtube.json), and texture files. This does not include the Source Files.

Source Files: The editable, layered project files in Live2D Cubism format (*.cmo3, *.can3).

My standard service is Live2D rigging. I do not offer character artwork or design services. You must provide Materials (PSD file) ready for rigging.

Please do not commission me if you have a short deadline (less than my standard turnaround time in Chapter 5.1). Exceptions may apply depends on scale of the project.

Slots are not first-come, first-served. I will select projects that I believe are a good fit for my expertise.

Price lists on my website are for estimation only. I will provide you with a final quote after I review your project requirements and Materials.

I may not accept requests for re-rigging or modifying existing Vtuber models.

My officially supported applications are VTube Studio, VBridger, and iFacialMocap. I cannot guarantee support for other apps unless discussed beforehand.

You must be over 18 years of age to commission me, per requirements of payment service provider. By commissioning me, you confirm you meet this age requirement.

I reserve the right to cancel your commission for personal reasons. This is generally due to shifting in creative vision, communication difficulties, or other unforeseen circumstances. Compensation may be issued according to my Refunds and Cancellations policy.

If you are commissioning me on behalf of an agency or as a middleman, a different rate and terms may apply.

All features for your model are dependent on the provided Materials. For example, if you want additional arm movements or expressions, these must be included as separate layers in the PSD file.

You are responsible for contacting the Artist and asking them to cooperate during the commission process for any necessary adjustments.

If your Materials does not meet the technical requirements for rigging, I will give you a list of revisions for your artist or let me handle the correction with additional fees.

My PSD correction work is limited to minor repainting or cutting (simple solid color filling). I will not do extensive redraws or draw new layers.

If you fail to provide necessary Materials within an agreed timeframe, your project will be put on hold.

Resuming on-hold project will be subject to my current availability and may result in a delay.

Payments will be processed via PayPal invoice in US Dollars (USD).

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your commission slot and begin work. The specific amount will be determined in your final quote, depending on project complexity and scale.

Payment plans may be discussed for larger projects.

Deliverables will be sent only after payments are cleared.

My estimated turnaround time is between 4 to 8 weeks. This is an estimate and not a guarantee.

The timeline begins after the first payment has been paid and all required Materials are received/approved.

Delays in your communication or feedback will cause a delay in the project timeline.

I will deliver the final files via secure cloud storage link (e.g., Google Drive).

You are required to keep a secure backup of the Deliverables. I am not responsible for long-term stability or archival of the files, including data loss, technical obsolescence (e.g., Deliverables are no longer supported with Vtuber apps), data corruption, or technical issues with the Deliverables that may arise after final delivery.

The Source Files are not included in the Deliverables. Transfer of the Source Files is subject to a separate fee and agreement.

Revisions are limited to minor adjustments and fixing any technical errors on my part.

Please be aware that some issues are due to software limitations which can be unavoidable. In such cases I will work to make them unnoticeable as I can.

Adding new features that we did not discuss before project started is not considered a revision and may be declined or require an additional fee.

You and your Artist retain full copyright of the character and the provided Materials. I retain full copyright of my rigging work and the files I create (the Deliverables and Source Files).

Upon final payment, commercial license of the Deliverables is granted. You are free to earn profits from streaming, video productions, and other promotional activities.

I have the right to use images and videos of your model on my website and social media for my portfolio and promotional purposes, including WIP shots and showcases, unless a NDA fee has been paid.

You must provide clear and visible credit for the Live2D rigging to me (e.g., in a Twitch panel, YouTube description, or X/Twitter bio).

Please include my social handle name PIXELVERTICE for crediting, e.g., Live2D Rig by PIXELVERTICE or Live2D Rig by Ran (PIXELVERTICE).

If you sell or transfer ownership of the model, you must inform the new owner of my TOS and inform me of the transfer.

Your rights to use the Deliverables is conditional upon your adherence to these Terms. I reserve the right to revoke your commercial license if you breach these terms (e.g., non-payment or chargebacks).

For all projects handed over from another Rigger (e.g., new costume work), you must provide written proof of permission or ownership transfer from the original Rigger and Artist for all pre-existing files (Base files).

I retain full copyright only over the unique new elements and additions I added to the model. This includes, but not limited to, new textures, new physics groups, and unique parameter setups.

I gain no rights or ownership over the pre-existing model structure, original files, art, or any underlying rigging, regardless of any optimization, cleanup, or reorganization I perform.

You assume all liability for any copyright disputes that may arise from the original material or rig.

You must provide clear credit for both me and the original Rigger (e.g., Base rig by your previous rigger, new costume by PIXELVERTICE).

If you wish to exclude your Project from my portfolio, promotional materials and prefer not to credit me, a Privacy Fee (NDA) must be discussed and paid.

This NDA fee is equal to 20% of the total project cost.

NSFW projects will be automatically subject to this NDA fee, and must be stated at the time of inquiry.

Privacy fee may be waived from NSFW projects if your project contains SFW element (e.g., the model imagery itself is safe with NSFW elements contained only within toggles or animations). I reserve the right to feature only the SFW elements in my portfolio and showcases. Credits are required unless NDA fee has been paid.

I reserve the right to decline any request that features content against my personal beliefs and standards.

You are expected to use the model and supported apps as intended.

You must not modify the physics settings of your model as it may cause unintended model glitches. Please have a discussion with me if you need adjustments.

You are free to add new toggles or expressions using VTube Studio features. However your modifications are strictly limited to existing parameters and setup. If your desired feature requires structural changes to the model you must commission me to work on those.

I may not be able to provide support for additional plugins or apps that we did not discuss during the creation process.

If you cancel the project while on payment plans, all future payments will be voided. However all payments already made will be considered non-refundable to cover existing progress and services.

Partial refund is only guaranteed in the event when I am unable to complete the project. I will calculate the refund based on my assessment of the amount of work completed. If you are on payment plan, all future payments will be voided as well.

The mandatory deposits are not refundable. This covers the reservation of your slot, my administrative time, and any work I have already completed.

Issuing a chargeback through PayPal without notice is a breach of these terms. This will result in immediate termination of all services, and revocation of your rights to use the Deliverables.

You must communicate with me to resolve any issues or disputes. Any failure to maintain or cooperating in communication is considered as breach of these Terms, immediately voiding your right to seek refunds, revisions or compensation.
