Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) & External Model Policy
For commissions where the client provides their own model or links to an external model that is not featured in G3 C&M LLC's roster, G3 C&M LLC will only accept and use such models if they are in full compliance with Creative Commons licensing, intellectual property rights, copyright law, copyleft provisions, and all other applicable laws.
Written consent from the model's creator, owner, and applicable IP rights holder(s) is required before any external model will be accepted for use in commissioned work. G3 C&M LLC reserves the right to request documentation of such consent at any time.
The client bears full responsibility for ensuring that any model they provide or link to is legally permissible for use in the commissioned work. G3 C&M LLC reserves the right to refuse any model that does not meet these standards or for which proper licensing cannot be verified.
Bring Your Own Software (BYOS) & Anti-Piracy Policy
G3 C&M LLC uses the following licensed and open-source software in its creative and development workflow:
DaVinci Resolve, Canva, Affinity, Blender, Source Filmmaker, Godot, VS Code, GIMP, Krita, LibraSprite, OpenCode, WSL2, Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu 24 LTS, Google Chrome, Firefox, VLC, Android Studio, Android SDK, GitHub, Docker
If a client requests the use of specific software that G3 C&M LLC does not already hold a valid license for, the client must provide a legitimate license for that software before work can proceed.
G3 C&M LLC strictly prohibits the use of pirated software for any creative or development work. We do not condone, support, or participate in software piracy in any form.
Any media, software, assets, or files provided by the client that are pirated or obtained unlawfully are the sole risk and responsibility of the client. G3 C&M LLC shall not be held liable for any damages, claims, or legal consequences arising from the client's submission of pirated or unlicensed materials. The client bears full responsibility for the accuracy and legality of all materials they provide, and G3 C&M LLC is not obligated to verify whether submitted materials are properly licensed.
Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
G3 C&M LLC ("we," "us," "our," or "G3 C&M") takes your privacy seriously. This policy outlines how we collect, store, use, and protect your information when you interact with our services, website, or commissions. Privacy is a top priority in all of our operations.
2. Data We Collect & Store
We collect and retain the following information for legal and operational purposes:

- Conversation records — All project-related communications are documented for legal protection and project continuity.
- Contact information — Name, email address, and any other details you provide during the commission process.
- Payment records — Invoices and payment confirmations for accounting and legal purposes.
- Analytics data — With your consent, we use Google Analytics to measure how visitors use our site. This data is aggregated and anonymous, and is not used for advertising, marketing, or profiling.
- Commission availability — The Commissions page shows our current slot counts by embedding a publicly published Google Sheet. Loading it causes your browser to contact Google, which necessarily receives your IP address and standard request metadata. That sheet holds only our own figures. We receive no information about you from it, and it involves no tracking or profiling.
3. How We Use Your Data
- To fulfill commissioned work and provide project updates.
- To maintain legal records (contracts, communications, payment history).
- To communicate with you regarding your project or inquiries.
- To comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not use your data for marketing, advertising, or profiling purposes.
4. Data Sharing & AI Training
G3 C&M LLC does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We have no plans or intent to use client data for any form of AI training, machine learning, or dataset creation. Your conversations, contracts, project materials, and personal information are strictly used for the purposes outlined in Section 3.
We will never share your data with third parties except where required by law or with your explicit written consent.
5. Generative AI Policy
G3 C&M LLC maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for generative AI in the following areas:
- Newly generated artwork, character designs, or visual media created from scratch by generative AI.
- Sound design, music, or voice generation.
- Newly AI-generated commissioned assets, placeholders, or concept work.
- Core game mechanics, systems, or narrative content.
- AI-generated imagery for game projects or portfolio work.
For G3 C&M LLC's full disclosure on AI-assisted tooling and the Client's acknowledgment and consent, see the Terms of Service, section 11 (AI-Assisted Tools & Technology). Section 5 addresses only the creation of original creative content, where G3 C&M LLC maintains a zero-tolerance stance against purely generative production.
6. Third-Party Software & AI Features
G3 C&M LLC uses a variety of licensed third-party software tools in its workflow. We cannot guarantee that these tools do not contain baked-in AI features or algorithms outside our control. Examples include:
- Affinity — Inpainting and other AI-assisted editing features.
- DaVinci Resolve — Upscaling algorithms and AI-enhanced tools.
- Game engines — Technologies such as FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) and similar upscaling or AI-driven features.
- Any other licensed software that may incorporate AI features beyond our control.
The presence of these features in third-party software is outside G3 C&M LLC's control and does not reflect our own AI policies. We do not actively use these features for creative generation unless they are standard, non-generative tools integrated into the software's core functionality.
7. External Platform Data Leaks
G3 C&M LLC communicates and operates through various external platforms and services, including but not limited to X/Twitter, Canva, email services, PayPal, Google Sheets, and other third-party tools. We cannot prevent or be held liable for data leaks, security breaches, or policy changes that occur on these external platforms.
By engaging with G3 C&M LLC, you acknowledge and accept that:
- Any data leak, security incident, or privacy compromise originating from an external platform or third-party software is outside G3 C&M LLC's control.
- G3 C&M LLC shall not be held liable for data leaks caused by external platforms (e.g., X/Twitter DM breaches, Canva security incidents) or for accidental mishaps on these platforms.
- The risk of using external platforms and third-party software rests with the client and the platform user.
8. DRM & Software Distribution
G3 C&M LLC develops and distributes software and games with a strong commitment to user privacy. We have no plans to implement additional DRM (Digital Rights Management) measures beyond what is required by the distribution platforms we use, such as Steam by Valve.
Our games and software are intended to be DRM-free wherever possible. We believe that paying customers should not be burdened with unnecessary restrictions on the software they own, and we respect your right to privacy and offline access to the content you have purchased.
If any platform we distribute on requires DRM as a condition of publishing, we will use the minimum necessary to comply and will clearly disclose this to our users.

11. AI-Assisted Tools & Technology
11.1 Acknowledgement. By agreeing to these Terms, the Client acknowledges and agrees that G3 C&M LLC may use AI-assisted and automated tools as part of its normal workflow and operations, in the same manner as any other professional tool, to deliver work efficiently and to a high standard. In practice: if you'd rather we not use AI-assisted tools on your project, tell us before we begin and we'll work it out.
11.2 Permitted uses. AI-assisted tools may be used for general productivity and production tasks, including but not limited to: code editing, debugging, bug fixes, documentation, spell checking and proofreading, accessibility improvements, and the editing or transformation of existing assets (e.g., object selection, masking, and color or hue adjustments to textures). This list is illustrative, not exhaustive.
11.3 Human direction & boundary. AI is used to assist and complete work under human direction. G3 C&M LLC does not pass off purely AI-generated creative works — characters, designs, narrative, music, sound, or voice generated from prompts — as wholly original human-made content, and does not deliver AI-generated output in place of the professional services described in these Terms.
11.4 Review & sign-off. All deliverables are human-directed and reviewed, and are subject to the Client's review and sign-off before final acceptance. As set out in these Terms, final payment and sign-off confirm that the deliverables satisfy the agreed scope.

This section does not waive the Client's rights regarding unlawful conduct, IP infringement, or failure to deliver.
11.7 Conflicts. To the extent any prior or collateral statement relates to how work is produced, these Terms govern.
12. Contact

Fair Use Notice
Some content displayed on this website — including but not limited to character depictions, references, and commentary — may be used under the Fair Use doctrine as defined in Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act. This includes uses for purposes such as criticism, comment, education, parody, and portfolio demonstration. If you believe any content does not qualify as fair use, please contact us.
Deposits & Labor Policy
All commissions run on a two-payment structure: a deposit taken before work begins, and a final payment due on completion. Estimated hours are divided evenly between the two payments. Where the consultation charge falls is set out in the Billing Process section. The deposit is non-refundable: it reserves dedicated time in our schedule for your project and covers the consultation, planning, and setup done before the finished work is delivered.
That includes research, asset preparation, pipeline and file setup, drafts, project management, and other work invested up front, plus the administration behind the scenes (invoicing, contract processing, file organization, correspondence). Because the deposit holds your place in the queue, it also covers time we set aside that would otherwise have gone to other clients.
The final payment delivers and finalizes the finished work. Changes requested after that point begin a fresh round of labor, so they require a new commission with a new deposit. Full terms are on the Commissions page.
Billing Process
1. Estimate & Scope Agreement
Work is charged by the estimated hours needed to complete the project. An estimate is provided and agreed upon before any work begins. If the scope of the project changes during development, the estimate is updated and must be approved by both parties before additional hours are billed.
2. Contract
A signed contract is required before any work can begin. G3 C&M LLC provides the contract at no cost. You must review and agree to all terms and conditions stated within it before the first payment is made.
3. Project Total & Payment Split
3.1 Project total. Every commission is billed as a fixed $100.00 consultation and communications charge plus the estimated hours at the $25.00 hourly rate. The $100.00 is a charge in every commission; it is not a minimum.
3.2 Hours are always split 50 / 50. The estimated-hours cost is divided evenly between the two payments. This does not change from project to project.
3.3 Consultation placement. The $100.00 consultation charge is placed in one of two ways:
- Split — $50.00 on the first payment and $50.00 on the final payment. The two payments are then an even split of the project total.
- Up front — the entire $100.00 on the first payment, with the final payment covering hours only. This moves $50.00 from the final payment to the deposit.
Which one applies is agreed by both parties at the estimate stage, recorded in the signed contract, and shown on the first invoice. Once agreed, the placement does not change for the duration of the project.
3.4 Additional hours. Hours worked beyond the agreed estimate are billed at the standard hourly rate and must be approved by both parties in writing before the hours are worked. Approved additional hours are billed on the final payment and never on the deposit. Hours worked without prior written approval are not billable.
3.5 Example. A project estimated at 20 hours has a total of $600.00 ($100.00 consultation plus 20 hours at $25.00). Split: $300.00 on the first payment and $300.00 on the final payment. Up front: $350.00 on the first payment ($100.00 plus $250.00) and $250.00 on the final payment. If 6 additional hours are approved in advance and one paid revision applies, the total becomes $760.00 and the first payment is unchanged: split gives $300.00 then $460.00, up front gives $350.00 then $410.00. Figures are illustrative using rates current at the time of publication.
An invoice is sent before each payment is due. This section sets out the order of operations and does not alter the commercial terms published on the Commissions page, which govern in the event of a conflict.
4. First Payment (Deposit)
The first payment described in clauses 3.2 and 3.3 is non-refundable and reserves your place in our schedule. It covers the consultation, communications, and project setup performed before the finished work is delivered. Work begins only after this payment is received. The basis for the deposit is set out under the Deposits & Labor Policy section of this page.
5. Work in Progress & Revisions
The first two revisions are included and must be requested and completed before the second payment is made; the hourly rate still applies to hours worked during revisions. Beyond those two, a $10.00 revision fee applies plus the additional hours at the standard hourly rate.
6. Final Invoice & Payment
The final payment is invoiced when the work is finished and is due before delivery. The finished work is delivered upon receipt of this payment. As set out in the Terms of Service, section 4 (Intellectual Property), rights to the deliverables transfer upon final payment.
7. Project Closure
Paying the final amount closes the project as-is. No further changes or revisions are included after that payment. Changes desired after closure require a new commission with a new deposit, which begins this process again from clause 1.
8. Payment Methods
Payment may be made by any of the following:
- All major credit networks — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover (via invoice)
- PayPal
- Cryptocurrency: USDC & PYUSD
The method available to you is set out on the invoice for each payment.
9. Questions About Billing
Questions about an estimate, invoice, or payment should go to hello@g3cm.com. The full commercial terms — the rate card, payment plan, revision policy, and closure terms — are published on the Commissions page.
10. Discounts & Negotiated Pricing
G3 C&M LLC may offer a discount on the project total at its sole discretion. Any discount must be agreed in writing before work begins, is applied to the project total before the payment split is calculated under clauses 3.2 and 3.3, and appears as its own line item on every invoice for that project. A discount applies the same way regardless of which consultation placement is agreed.
Discounts are discretionary and are not guaranteed. No discount applies to work that has already been invoiced.
Right to Refuse Service & Content Ethics Policy
1. Ethics & Legal Compliance
G3 C&M LLC reserves the right to refuse service to any individual or project that involves content that is unethical, illegal, violates the Geneva Convention, or depicts minors in explicit or illegal activities. We maintain a strict focus on consenting adults in all commissioned work. No amount of context can override the rule of legal and ethical compliance first.
2. Open-Minded & Anti-Discrimination
We are open-minded toward expressive LGBTQ+ content and media and are anti-discrimination within the description of applicable U.S. laws (Indiana). We accept commissions involving consensual explicit themes, including but not limited to consensual BDSM works, dating games, and adult media as standalone projects or within game development.
3. Dark Humor Policy
Dark humor is permitted to varying degrees but is evaluated on a case-by-case basis during the consultation phase. Any dark humor content must be disclosed up front — the client must provide a script or a list of dark humor lines for approval before implementation. G3 C&M LLC reserves the right to deny any dark humor element at its sole discretion.
4. Refusal & Payment
If a commission or project violates any of the laws or ethics outlined above, we will flatly refuse the project entirely — no payment will be accepted. The consultation cost (quote preparation, time, and communication) is absorbed by G3 C&M LLC as a loss to remain in full compliance with the law and our ethical standards.
5. Client Jurisdiction & Responsibility
The client bears full responsibility for ensuring that the commissioned media or game is legal in their area, state, or country. If the project is illegal in their jurisdiction, that is solely the client's responsibility. Knowingly providing false information about the legality of a project is treated as perjury and is the sole responsibility of the client.
