Fursuit TOS
By commissioning an artist, you/commissioner [the buyer] are entering a legal contract to prevent the misuse and abuse of services provided by I/myself [the artist], Mars. When you have finished reading, please fill out the bottom of this page and sign/date to confirm that you agree to the terms set in place. These terms are subject to change.
Payment
A 30% NON REFUNDABLE down payment is required upon acceptance. Work will not begin until the suit is FULLY paid off. If you are not paying in full upfront, and doing a payment plan, your last payment MUST be made BEFORE work can begin on your suit.
I only accept paypal. It is safe, easy, and provides buyer protection. We do not accept any other method of payment. The prices we have listed are all in USD.
Quotes are subject to change. For example, quotes given on the day we open may be different than the quote given to you before then if you:
-Send a different reference sheet
-Send an updated reference sheet
-Submit a quote for a different fursuit part/more parts
Payment Plans
Payments must be made at least once a month after the down payment has been paid.
Late payments result in later completion.
Failure to make a payment within 15 days of the missed due date will result in a 3% fee. If a payment is going to be late, please contact me ahead of time so I can understand the nature of the delay.
If payments cease and contact cannot be established, your commission will be terminated; all progress and materials will be considered forfeit. This will lead to you being permanently blacklisted under all accounts. No refunds will be given to those who fail to make payments.
Monthly plans should not exceed 2 months for a head, 3 months for a partial, 6 months for a fullsuit. It is preferred that payment is sent in as less time as possible.
Reference Sheets
-Please send a clear, up-to-date reference sheet for the most accurate quote. We prefer 2 or 3 view references. (The more views the better.) A clear, up-to-date digital reference sheet is REQUIRED in order to commission a fursuit. I am not responsible for including anything that is not present on the agreed concept art. If you are having us design your suit, we will work with you on creating a design.
DTD (Duct Tape Dummy)
-We do not work off of measurements only, we require you to send a DTD. Please make sure you spend time making your DTD correctly as this is a crucial part of the suit making process and affects how the suit will fit you.
Here is a tutorial on how to make a DTD. All credit goes to +3Defense:

Your DTD is REQUIRED to include your feet.
Please keep your arms as straight as possible.
We are not responsible for poorly fitting suits due to poor DTD construction. We are not responsible for a DTD coming apart due to poor construction. If your DTD falls apart when We are stuffing it, you will be required to make a new one.
When you send your DTD please include somewhere within the package who it belongs to.
Changes and Cancellations
-Please make sure you are financially secure before commissioning us. Your deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE. If you decide to cancel and we have begun work on your suit or completed any parts of it, it will affect how much you can be refunded.

I have the right to deny any customer service for reasons to be determined by myself.
I have the right to terminate a commission at ANY time for obscene behavior. Including but not limited to: being rude, impatient, threatening, slandering, harassing, bribing, or spamming us. If we terminate a project due to obscene behavior you will not receive a refund.

Warranty
There is a 1 year warranty on costumes. After 1 year, the buyer will pay for repairs. The buyer must pay shipping costs.
If you find any issues upon receiving your suit we are happy to fix them. Do not be afraid to email us about anything you are unhappy about.
It is recommended that each customer learns basic hand sewing to do simple repairs that happen over time, like any other article of clothing, fursuits eventually experience natural aging, wear, and tear.
If I determine you have caused intentional damage to your suit, I have the right to deny repairs. Any unauthorized alteration or changes not made by myself voids the warranty
Shipping
-Shipping is NOT included in the cost of your commission. Shipping is calculated once the commission is completed. Overseas commissioners will have to pay for shipping. I am not responsible for customs/import fees. We will only use USPS. We are not responsible for damages that may occur or any losses during shipping.
Allergy warning
This home is NOT a pet free environment. We have both cats and dogs! Our cats stay exclusively downstairs, away from all costumes. My dog is very curious and may wander in and right back out of my work room occasionally. This is NOT a smoke free environment, but we work exclusively upstairs and do our best to keep our costumes in 1 room away from any allergens etc.
Age
-You must be 18 years or older to commission us. We have the right to ask for photo ID.
- If you lie about your age, or we suspect you are lying about it, refuse to provide an ID when asked, or use a false ID, your commission will be terminated, you will not be refunded, and materials will be forfeited.
