Also, yes, it's indeed unusual for people to take the artist's art and edit it for recolors without the artist's consent. But I have seen artists blocking some people who had commissioned them in the past (and I also started to wonder what'd happen if I had to block someone as well because of their behavior) and I was unsure how things worked in this case.
I never stated that in my TOS on the site because I thought that the art would always belong to the artist and thus no one could actually edit it without my consent. But after the reply I got, I did add one more rule which I copied+pasted on the answer to the user above!
As for the artist not being a Subeta user, what they mean is that, if the artist you hired decided to trace or to copy original art stuff, the user who bought the art is the one who will be held responsible for the artist's actions, since they can't freeze the artist themselves as they are not on site. Which makes sense to me. xP
I do appreciate your time to go through all that stuff, though! It was really helpful and either way, as I said, I have added the new rule to my TOS just to make sure c:
