Click any section below to review our complete, transparent rules governing work hours, support response windows, missed-rush discounts, and automated refunds:

- Studio Time Zone & Human Support Hours: Minerva Concept Studio operates on Eastern Time (EST/EDT) from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM EST, 7 days a week. Our automated AI Support Co-Pilot provides instant (<3-second) triage and answers 24/7/365.

- Tier 1 — Active Paid / Hold-Authorized Orders (Highest Priority): Human response within 1–4 hours for Rush orders and 4–12 hours (max <24h) for Priority/Standard orders during studio hours.

2. Reworks & Revisions: $0 Studio Error Fix vs. $0 Minor Revisions (2 Rounds) vs. +25% / +50% Change Orders Toggle ▾
- $0.00 Studio Error Rework (Unlimited & Free — Uses 0 Free Rounds): If your 1080p proof objectively contradicts a trait you explicitly checked or wrote in Step 1 (or contains a rendering/anatomical defect at 100% / 1:1 native pixel scale), we fix it at $0.00 without counting against your 2 free minor revision rounds.
- Native 1:1 (100%) Pixel-Scale & Zoom Inspection Standard (Full-Body vs. Macro Callouts): All deliverables are raster artwork (
.PNG/.JPG/.PDF) with a finite pixel grid determined by your chosen tier (2K,4K,8K,12K, or16K). Full-Body Turnaround Views (0°,90°,180°,3/4) are guaranteed for visual sharpness at 100% (1:1) native pixel scale (or standard 300-DPI print viewing distance), while Dedicated1:1Macro Callout Boxes (Face/Eyes, Back/Emblem, Weapon/Gear) are engineered specifically for 150%–200% close-up inspection of fine details. Zooming past100%native pixel scale on a full-body figure (e.g.,300%–800%+extreme mouse-wheel magnification) or slight, near-imperceptible blurring/softness, natural anti-aliasing, or subtle shading transitions is not considered a rendering defect and is not a reason for free re-rendering, redraws, discounts, or any other remedy. - $0.00 Included Minor Revisions (Up to 2 Rounds Free): Covers subjective fine-tuning within your original brief (color/HEX tint shifts, facial expression tweaks, scar/marking placement, or small trim adjustments).
- The "Artistic Liberty" Rule (Blank Tabs): Any trait category left blank/unchecked at Step 1 submission grants Minerva Concept Studio creative freedom to design a fitting default. Requesting a specific custom item for 1–2 previously blank tabs after Pass #1 is a +25% Partial Slot Change Order (or +50% for 3+ tabs).
- +25% Partial Slot Change Order vs. +50% Full-Sheet Redraw: Swapping 1–2 checked gear/hair/weapon traits or adding a 3rd+ minor revision round is +25% of base character price. Changing Art Style, Species, Body Build, Turnaround Stance, 3+ trait tabs at once, or adding/removing wings/tails/cloaks is +50% of base character price.
3. Industry-Standard Late-Delivery Ladder (Surcharge Step-Down • >2-3 Day Severe Delay Options) & Case-by-Case Refund Review Toggle ▾
- Zero-Trust Server-Clock Verification (Anti-Gaming Protection): All refund and delay calculations are governed strictly by immutable server timestamps and your locked Step 1 JSON trait manifest (never by free-text claims). Time spent awaiting client email/payment verification, after-hours submissions (after 6:00 PM EST), client proof review, or spec clarification holds is automatically excluded.
- Tiered Rush Surcharge Step-Down (Minor Delays): If a paid Rush/Priority proof misses its target window, the speed surcharge automatically steps down to the actual speed tier delivered while the 1.0x Base Price stays intact:
- 12-Hour Ultra-Rush (2.50x) delivered in 12–24h: Steps down to 1-Day Express Rush (1.60x).
- Delivered in 24–48h: Steps down to 2-Day Priority (1.25x).
- Delivered in 48–72h: 100% of the Rush Surcharge is waived down to the 1.0x Standard Base Price.
- Severe Multi-Day Delay Remedy (>2 Days Late on Rush/Priority or >3 Days Late on Standard — Excluding Client Delays): Only if your initial 1080p proof is still undelivered more than 48 hours (2 days) past a promised Rush/Priority deadline or 72 hours (3 days) past a Standard deadline, you may choose either: (A) Cancel the undelivered order for a 100% Full Hold Release ($0.00 charged, order closed), OR (B) Keep your order in production with 100% of any rush fee waived PLUS 50% OFF your 1.0x Base Character Price!
- Stage-by-Stage Cancellation & Hold Release Schedule ($0 Stripe Refund Fee):
- Unpaid Orders: Canceled anytime at $0.00.
- 1-Hour Grace Period (Within 60 Minutes of Hold — ONLY If Proof Has NOT Been Sent & Pass #1 Has Not Started): 100% of the Stripe hold is released ($0.00 charged). Once your 1080p proof is sent, the 1-hour grace period immediately ends.
- After 60 Minutes (Before Pass #1 Starts & Before Proof Is Sent): 15% administrative intake fee captured; 85% of hold released.
- Active Production or Proof Sent (Before 4K Vault Unlock): 50% Non-Refundable Deposit Floor captured for completed Pass #1 labor; remaining 50% hold released (no license granted).
- After 4K/8K Master Vault Unlock: 100% Final & Non-Refundable (corrupted files are re-exported free within 12–24 hours).
- Case-by-Case Refund & Cancellation Review: Every cancellation, hold-release, and refund request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis according to your verified production stage and studio schedule. Submitting a request immediately locks your exact submission timestamp so you are never penalized for review wait times.
4. Mandatory 72-Hour Direct Dispute Resolution Protocol & Chargeback Protection Toggle ▾
- 72-Hour Direct Studio Resolution First: Before initiating any inquiry with a bank or card issuer, the client agrees to submit a resolution request here and allow 48–72 hours for Minerva Concept Studio to perform any free Studio Error Rework or apply any applicable Missed-Rush 50% Base Discount.
- Bad-Faith Chargeback Consequences: Every order records signed agreements, 3DS2 bank authentication, Step 1 JSON trait manifests, and timestamped vault receipts. Filing an unauthorized chargeback after Pass #1 or after unlocking the 4K Vault immediately revokes all licenses (
DMCAenforced via our embedded Aegis v3.1 invisible cryptographic provenance watermark), locks Cross-Batch Vault access, forfeits Vault Piggy Bank credits and monthly drawing entries, and makes the client liable for the balance plus the $15–$25 processor dispute fee.
