Legal
Terms, privacy and AI disclosure
Draft for review by counsel before launch. Plain-language summary of how Masterdoodle works and what you agree to when you submit a sketch.
How the artwork is made
Masterdoodle produces AI-assisted artwork. Each version is generated from style instructions written and maintained by Jason Johns, using third-party AI image models, and every set is reviewed and approved by a person before it is sent to you. Artwork is not hand-drawn or hand-painted. Where Masterdoodle products are listed on marketplaces such as Etsy, this disclosure is repeated in the listing description as those platforms require.
Two modes, one age rule
Kids & Family mode is designed for parents ordering keepsakes of their children's drawings. Studio mode is intended for ages 13 and up. Anyone under 18 must have a parent or guardian submit the sketch, approve the design and place the order. In both modes we do not produce sexually explicit, hateful or violent-extremist artwork, or artwork depicting copyrighted characters or logos; anime and manga directions are kept stylish, not explicit. We may decline any submission at no charge.
Your drawing and your rights
- You confirm that you (or your child, with you as parent or guardian) created the drawing you submit and that it does not copy a copyrighted character, logo or another artist's work. We decline such submissions at no charge.
- You keep ownership of your original drawing. On payment, you receive a personal, non-commercial license to the finished artwork for printing, sharing and reprinting. Commercial licenses are available on request.
- We never use your drawings or finished artwork in marketing unless you give separate written permission.
The 24-hour promise
Your three versions will be ready within 24 hours of submission. The exact deadline is shown on your order page. If we miss it, the $4.99 design fee is waived; you pay only for products you choose to order. When the studio is paused, the site displays a notice and your 24-hour period begins when the studio reopens.
Fees and payment
The design & refinement fee is $4.99 per sketch and covers three finished versions, one revision round and personal finishing. A digital-only order is the $4.99 fee plus $0.99 for the 300 DPI file, $5.98 in total. Printed items are priced individually and include the high-resolution file; shipping is shown per item before you approve. Reorders of an approved design never pay the design fee again.
At submission we store your card securely with Square. Nothing is charged until you approve a version and choose your products. If you request a revision, your card remains uncharged. If you approve nothing, the job is closed and no charge is made. By saving a card you authorize a single charge in the amount shown on the approval screen, initiated when you click approve.
Printing, shipping and reprints
Products are printed on demand by our fulfillment partner and shipped from the United States. Because every item is made to order, we cannot accept returns for change of mind, but misprinted or damaged items are reprinted free. Delivery estimates are shown at checkout.
Privacy
- Submissions must be made by an adult. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children and do not ask for a child's name, age or photo.
- We collect your name, email, phone (optional, for approval texts), shipping address and the images you upload. Payment details are handled by Square and never touch our servers.
- Uploaded images are processed by our AI model providers solely to produce your artwork and are not used to train models by us.
- You can ask us to delete your account and images at any time.
