Yeah, this is not how things on commission actually work. If you hire a contractor to renovate your kitchen and he botches the job and installs the oven upside, he's got to rectify that error. He doesn't just get to take your money and go oh well, it took time and effort to do a shitty job and that's all you paid for and if you want a proper job you'll have to pay more money. No. Just no.

Because what you pay for is the end result. You're not paying for X hours of work. You're paying for a piece of art that is to your specifications.

This comparison doesn't work though because there are ways to prove that the oven was installed upside down, the art would have to absolutely be incorrect and be proven to be so, it couldn't just be a matter of taste.

TOS, contracts, verbal agreements are all a part of regular business for these reasons. Even contractors don't always come back and fix a job if they find they weren't at fault, sometimes people have to hire a brand new contractor to get the work they wanted.

People get paid for their time, if you are dissatisfied with the work you have to be able to prove it and it has to be in line with a stated agreement.

People get paid for their time, but they also get paid for their output. The end result matters just as much, if not more, than the time put in to generating that result.

As someone who works on a contract basis (manga lettering)... yes, yes, and yes. I have to fix it unless I can prove it wasn't my fault or even sometimes when it really wasn't my fault. If I make a mistake, it comes back to me and I fix it. Sometimes I fix the artist's mistakes (weird cropping, visible trademarks, stray lines or dots on the page). I don't get to rest easy until the client says they're happy.
