 FINAL NOTE

All artwork is protected under copyright law and remains the intellectual property of Hex Reject. Violation of this agreement may result in revoked access, DMCA takedowns, or legal action.

 

ENFORCEMENT & RETRIBUTION FOR THEFT

If you’re caught violating this license—whether through unauthorized resale, reproduction, digital sharing, or misuse of the artwork—you agree to the following terms:

You will be invoiced for a commercial license at the full market value appropriate for the scope of unauthorized use.

A minimum fee of $500 USD per violation will be charged, with higher fees assessed depending on the severity and extent of misuse.

You may also be subject to:

• DMCA takedowns
• Permanent bans from purchasing future work
• Public disclosure of infringement (if appropriate)
• Legal action for copyright infringement under U.S. Copyright Law  (up to $150,000 per willful infringement)

Stealing art from independent creators is theft. If you wouldn’t shoplift from a store, don’t pirate from a small artist.
