Also, I'm a bit confused, like, you sold a design and the buyer didn't want to submit it to the site? And now you want to buy it back so you can do it yourself?
To be really honest, I think that once you sold the design, you sold them their right to submit it to Subeta, so, if they don't want to sell it back to you, it's their right not to. But I can see where you are coming from about the "full payment", and about not receiving a copy of the item if they never submitted it.
And yes, apparently you have to have that and everything stated in your TOS as far as I understood? I'm still sliiightly confused, but just in case I did add to my rules that the commissioner is paying to have it submitted to the website, and not to buy the rights of my art.
I have had lots of commissioners not submitting the item (and consequently I did not get my copy) but tbh I never really thought of that? LOL Like, as long as I receive the money/csc that I'm supposed to earn for the work I did, if they don't wanna submit it, they won't have their profit either. So I guess that doesn't bother me much; the fact I don't get my copy because I know they aren't getting theirs unless they put it on site.
But to sum it up, I do think you have to have every single thing stated in your TOS to avoid future issues. It's just that there are scenarios that you'd never imagine until they actually happen and you go like "Oh boy, what do I do now?". And only then you have to add it to your TOS :/
