Commission Terms

No Labeling Studios · Original oil paintings by Mayolo Gomez · Stockton, California

These terms apply to every commission and are part of your signed Commission Agreement. Last updated October 2026.

Deposit

Every commission starts with a 50% non-refundable deposit. This includes payment plans, digital media and custom surfaces.
Work starts once the deposit is paid.
The only refund: if the studio reviews your reference photos and declines the commission, your deposit is refunded in full.

The remaining 50% balance is due before pickup, delivery or shipping.
Pay online through the shop (Big Cartel) or by Stripe invoice, or in person by card or cash.
Your price is locked once your agreement is signed.
Rush jobs are +25% of the painting price, with limited availability. Rush isn't available for murals or XL oil paintings (30x40 and up).
California sales tax is added where applicable.

Available on commissions of $400 and up. Returning clients from before 2026 can use a payment plan at any price, as a thank-you for early support.
The 50% deposit comes first. Only the remaining balance is split:
Bi-weekly: 25%, then 25%, then 50% of the balance.
Monthly: 30%, then 20%, then 50% of the balance.
Payment plan installments are billed by Stripe invoice.
Artwork is delivered only after full payment.
If an installment is more than 10 days late, work pauses. At 30 days late, the commission is treated as cancelled under the Cancellation terms below.

You approve the drawing, then the color. Up to 2 revisions are included at each stage.
Confirm each approval in writing (email or DM). Approvals and the signed agreement are the final record.
Once a stage is approved, it's locked. Changes after that are quoted and may extend the timeline.
If the studio doesn't hear back within 5 business days, it will follow up. Work doesn't move past a stage without your approval.

If you cancel, the deposit is kept. Any balance payments you've already made are refunded.
If you don't respond or don't pay the balance for 60 days after the studio reaches out, the commission is treated as cancelled. Payments made are kept, and the studio may keep, finish or repurpose the artwork.
If the studio can't complete your commission, every payment you've made is refunded in full.
Commissions are custom work, so standard returns don't apply.
Chargebacks filed after the work is completed or delivered may be a breach of the agreement. The studio reserves all available remedies.

Production takes about 4-8 weeks once your reference photos are confirmed.
Time spent waiting on approvals or extra photos adds to that. The timeline is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Prices are for the painting. Shipping is added as a separate flat fee only when your painting ships within the U.S.:

Send photos you own or have permission to use. You're responsible for any claims about photos you supply.
The studio doesn't copy someone else's copyrighted imagery, and doesn't paint anything meant to deceive or defame, or anything unlawful.

You own the painting. The artist keeps the copyright and all reproduction rights.
You may display your painting and photograph it for personal use, but not reproduce, sell or license it.
On your agreement, you choose whether the studio may share photos of your finished piece: share and tag your Instagram, share but keep your name and handle private, or don't share.
The studio never posts your address or contact details.

Your information is used only for your order, records and taxes. It is never sold or rented.

The studio's total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the commission.
Neither side is responsible for delays beyond reasonable control. Both sides will reschedule in good faith.
These terms are governed by California law. The studio may update them, and the version in effect when you sign applies to your commission.
