TERMS OF SERVICE
Order Process
You must be 18+ to commission us in order to prevent any issues with parents or tutor. We can ask for an ID if we think it may be necessary, with the ID number covered if you prefer. If you are not 18, your tutor or legal guide must do the purchase for you.
We will only work at original characters, we do not work on characters from Anime/Manga/Cartoons/Videogames/Movies. We have our style, so we can not copy another artist’s work.
We negotiate and discuss your commission details with you and we’ll make an accurate quote of your fursuit. We need to know all details to add to your suit, included if you prefer a determinate base expression, or if you want to add something extra.
Only after that, you must fill our application form. We need that form filled to know all your private informations (Real name, address,email,phone number, and your fursona informations too.)
You must have a detailed reference sheet. If you don’t have one, we can make it for you for an extra payment.
Before starting your commission we show you which fur we chose for the realisation of your suit. Keep in mind that it’s not always possible find the exact fur color of your reference (see Color/Fabric Matching).
We provide Work in Progress (WIPs) photos during the construction process. Some WIPs represent construction milestones. We require these milestone WIPs to be approved by you before proceeding.
These include, but are not limited to: images of fur/fabric swatches, the head carve before it is furred, and images of the completed fursuit.
Edits during the Construction Process
We work from your reference images and detailed information to create your commission. If you see WIPs we send and want tweaks or small adjustments along the way, we will accommodate, within reason.
If you want to change something on the character design, you can comunicate it to us before we start to work on your suit. We have to charge if you want to do It after we already started the commission. We will let you decide if you want to pay for the adjustment, or if we should proceed as-is.
Payments
We only accept payment through Paypal and bank transfers, in euro (€) value. When you send the payment you must always consider that.
Those who wish to pay with Paypal, I ask that the fee is covered.
Customers can opt to do a Payment Plan, with a minimum of 3 payments to a maximum of 6 payments. We can discuss to make longer payment plans if you need.
Payment Plans
We will not accept any confirmation through vocal messages, calls or everything that is not written.
We require you to be able to put down 30% of the total cost of your commission to begin with. After that, you can make monthly instalments until it's paid off. We recommend paying in installments of at least €200/300 a month.
You will able to decide the day of your monthly payments. We can accept a delay of 1 week without your communication.
After that time we will charge The 5% for every week you will delay or we can decide to cancel your commission without refounds. So we suggest you to always communicate us if you can’t pay in a precise day. We can work with you for any problems.
If you need to postpone payments for awhile, we can work with you. Please contact us directly to communicate us the payment changes. You can also pausing production until you can start paying again. We can’t refound you if you will decide to cancel your commission.
Failure to pay or contact us for 1 month will result in your order being canceled.
Once the suit is ready, we will tell you as soon as we are sure everything is done and done perfectly. From that, you have three weeks to finish the payment and pay for the shipping. If that is not done in three weeks, we will charge for a 5% of the total amount of the suit for every week. We will hold the suit for a total time of 2 months. If the last payment os not done in that time, we will cancel everything and you will not be refounded.
Color/Fabric Matching
Please be aware that there is a limited color palette available for fabrics (fur, fleece, minky cuddle, faux leather) compared to the limitless possibilities that can be depicted in reference art. We try our best to match colors as best we can, but there will be some times when there is not a color close to a color in your reference. We will provide you with the closest color samples we have access to for you to choose from.
We only use HQ materials for our suit to give to your suit the best results. We DON’T accept fur already bought from you or others. If you need a particular color from a seller you know, we can buy it from them, but this is not always possible.( This could charge more the total price)
