Requester Guidelines

※Since this is a beta version, there is a possibility of frequent changes.

 ✏️ Service Overview

Request Features

  • Communication
    • There will be only one round-trip communication between the requester and the creator. The first trip will be ‘Send Request’ and the last trip will be ‘Delivery Confirmation’. There will be no other way to communicate with the creator through the platform aside from the two actions.
  • Request Content There is no pressure to give complicated or detailed instructions. It is alright to simply list the content you wish to see in the artwork.
    • ※ e.g., “I want a drawing of a character with blue hair and red eyes, I will leave everything else to you.”
      💡
      If you have a detailed idea of the artwork’s theme, composition, color, or anything that the artist must reflect in the final work, please write detailed instructions, then attach clear and exact references. This is to ensure as little revision and redrawing as possible in the later stage.
  • Refund in the case of non-delivery A full refund system is available if the creator fails to deliver the requested works within the deadline. The refund system will be automatically available to the requester if the deadline passes without any delivery. ※ Please note that the Gas fee is charged separately.
  • The NFT transfer The NFT will be transferred to the requester’s wallet once the delivery is confirmed and the transaction is marked as complete.

Request Rules

  • Refrain from asking for a complete redraw via DM or email.
    • While we are aware that mistakes can happen and that revision is necessary, we ask requesters to refrain from asking for excessive amounts of revisions. We especially ask for requesters’ cooperation to not ask for complete redraws or retakes through Twitter DM, Email, or any other messaging service while using Recomet. Revision or redrawing that deviates from the description sent with the request is considered a violation of Recomet’s Term of Service.
      💡
      Recomet’s current system does not provide means for artists to charge extra for revisions and redraws. While this may change in the future, as we are now, both creators’ and requesters’ cooperation are necessary to make sure that the creative community formed around Recomet is a safe and comfortable community for both creators and requesters.
  • Do not establish your own rules.
    • Do not impose any restrictions on the creators beyond the general rules of the service. This is including a rule to deduct a gas fee, discounted prices, and other rules not pertaining to the specification of requested works.
  • Do not use the service as a means of money transfer between individuals.
    • To prevent money laundering, please do not use the service as a means of money transfer between individuals.

Request Specifications

  • Request approval and cancellation
    • The creator will only approve the request they wish to accept. Requests that were not approved past the approval deadline will be automatically canceled. The requesters will only be notified for request approval. There will be no notification of automatic cancelation of requests.
  • Payment Method
    • With the release of Plan and Package, ETH, USDC, and other ERC-20 tokens are all supported as a form of payment. NFT exchange is also available.
      Please note that accepted currency is decided by creators and not requesters.
  • Payment Window The requester should make a payment within 3 days after the creator approved their request. If the requester fails to make a payment within 3 days, the request will be automatically canceled.
  • Refund
    • Suppose the creator fails to deliver the work within the delivery deadline, the refund system will be available to the requester. The requester will execute the refund request themselves.
  • Platform Fee
    • The platform fee is included in the requested amount. Recomet will not charge an additional fee to requesters.
  • Requested artworks’ degree of completion and/or complexity
    • The creator will decide the degree of completion and the degree of complexity of the artwork, depending on each Plan. As a requester, please do not enforce your own standard of completion and complexity of the requested artwork.
  • Approval Deadline and Delivery Deadline
    • The approval deadline is the time limit for approving received requests. The system will calculate the deadline based on the date the request(s) is sent.
      The delivery deadline is the time limit within which the creator must deliver the work for the approved request. Similarly, the time limit is calculated from the date the request is sent.
      The requester may not advance the delivery deadline. Further. imposing a deadline for a request is a violation of Recomet’s Terms of Use.
  • Supported Files
    • Both Recomet’s shared contract and registered custom contract support the following files: JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, MP4, WEBM, MP3, WAV, OGG, GLB, and GLTF.
  • Copyrights
    • Creators hold the copyright of their creations. Creators are free to publish their requested work(s) on social media, personalized magazines, collections of works, and other services without the requester or holder’s permission. The NFT holder (the requester) may only use the work for personal purposes such as social media profile pictures, and banners. Should there be additional agreement(s), the holder may only use the work within the scope agreed upon by both parties (the creator and the requester) as described in the body of their request.
      It is important to note that even if the rights to the work belong to the creator, the creator also bears all responsibility regarding the creation of the works. To avoid issues, please be sure to follow the guidelines for each project (or the original title when creating derivatives of non-NFT commercial works such as anime and games) when creating derivative works.
  • Freezing of Accounts
    • The Recomet management team reserves the right to freeze accounts without prior notice for violating the platform’s Policies and Terms of Service.

Scope of Use of Deliverables

NFT holders (requesters) may use the deliverables (i.e., saved jpg, png, etc. files) only for personal purposes such as social media profile pictures and banners.
Should there be additional agreement(s) between the requester and the creator, the holder (requester) may use the deliverables only within the scope agreed upon by both parties (creator and requester), as described in the body of the request.
Basically, the right to use the work is granted to the NFT holder. Therefore, if the current holder sells or transfers the NFT to a third party, the current holder will lose the rights to the work(s), and the rights will be transferred to the new holder.
