ALLERGY WARNING!!
Don't forget! I have two kitties that browse around my home! Please don't order from me if you have problems with that!
If you have any other important allergies , you must inform me of them before exchanging money with me for an item of any sort. If I do not know you have an issue there is nothing i can do about it.
__________________________________________________________________________________
PAYMENTS, TRANSACTIONS and REFUNDS
~In the rare occassion that I am open or I choose to accept a project. I will discuss how much is required down. I prefer 50% up front. but it depends on the project.
~I normally require full payment for the project before it is finished. the price of a suit entails supplies and work hours. I can't do work hours unless my time is paid for said work hours. I will waive this rule in certain occasions as I choose to accept partial payment and then other payment after the costume is completed. (ammendment 11/7/2018)
~I accept payment exclusively through paypal.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Refunds
~For whatever reason you want to cancel your commission, Feel free to inquire about a refund. Depending on the amount of work done on the project will depend on how much of a refund I can offer. It can be discussed.
~If you are terminating the commission for any reason OTHER THAN the following list, I reserve the right to keep 30% of the commission cost. I may wave this if I choose.
~The completion time is outside of what I have absolutely promised to you or stated in my terms and you do not wish to continue waiting.
~I have broken my terms of service and you wish for a refund because of such.
____________
~Refunds will be issued in an agreed upon time frame.
~If a project is in the works and a refund is requested, I may require selling the project to get the refund before you can receive anything.
What if you are very dissatisfied with your item?
IF you receive your costume and you do not like it/ You want a refund because something is amiss, such as
~Item not as described
~Item is not close enough to what you wanted and you never sent me an agreement that it was fine before I sent.
I will only refund after the full costume or item is back in my hands. I will NOT refund and allow you to also keep your costume at the same time.
In cases such as
~you just want money back and don't want to have to sell the piece yourself
~The item was lost in the mail or stolen after I had sent you tracking (see below)
~my style just didn't turn out to be what you wanted in the end
~You just "don't like it" with no exact reasoning that is reasonable
You are not eligable for a refund. I can no longer help you!
If you feel you did not get what you paid for, I will listen to your concerns, but I will not allow a refund just for dissatisfaction. I may decide to wave this based on situation, but do not expect this!
If there is an issue with the item sold and it is completely my/ the maker's error, I will do my best to come to an agreement in order to fix the issue for you! Please do not be afraid to contact me with a problem!
If you ruin a part of your piece due to neglect , wear, or wrong handling, I will not guarantee that I can help or fix the issue. You may ask me for suggestions and I will decide the amount of help I can give you for that situation!
__________________________________________________________________________________
SHIPPING:
is not included in the prices! It varies depending. The following are BASIC common prices I will ask for for the following items/ destinations.
~ In country (United States)
shipping for single blank priority mail through USPS is $20+
shipping for multiple blanks in one box will normally be $30+
shipping for full masks is $35+
shipping for partials is $40.+
~Out of country shipping
$40 priority international base cost
larger items depend. anything over 4 pounds will be $60+
~ALL shipping is done through USPS.
I DO NOT LIST ITEMS FOR OUT OF THE UNITED STATES AS GIFTS OR MARK THEM UNDER PAID FOR PRICE.
I would love for you to not have to go through a lot of stress to get your item, however it IS ILLEGAL to do this. I just can not.
If an item breaks in shipping, or never shows up because of shipping error, I will normally contact the shipping company and request a refund of insurance cost. This money will be sent to you if I manage to win the case . This can take any amount of time depending on how the shipping company handles it. Please do not rush the process.
When I mail out an item and send you a tracking number. the fate of the package is in your hands, and no longer in my hands besides looking into shipping insurance claims. If your package is lost or damaged by the mail carrier I can not guarantee if I can make a replacement item. I can not replace items that are broken or lost that are not my fault. If you would like to re-purchase or re-commission the item from me I will allow this.
I accept that if I mail a package and send you no tracking if you have explicitly requested tracking, I accept responsibility for the package being lost or stolen and I will work on reimbursing you or redoing your item for no extra charge.
__________________________________________________________________________________
(The subject of Time frames!)
~I will NOT guarantee any deadlines for any items period, however I am happy to TRY to do deadlines. but If I miss a few. I'm sorry. I expect this to be known before commissioning me!
~Expect over a full year to complete any heads or partials after full payment, as a safety precaution to my timing!
~ I reserve the right to outsource for certain parts in commissioned costumes, say, horns and the like. if I do not have all of the materials it takes to make them. (IE outsource= purchase from another maker) However I try to use all of my own parts as I make most of them myself!
~Resin bases and any other parts made from and for your character are allowed for re-sale by me if someone was to want a copy! That includes bases, jawsets, tongues, horns but not ever full finished pieces. only things that I sculpted myself! Please let me know if you specifically do not want your personal base (if applicable) sold to anyone else! If this is the case there will be extra fees.
~ If reselling a costume or any part you get from me you are NOT allowed to use my photos to sell it. You MUST take your own photos. You may ask me if you can use a photo of mine and I will decide if I will allow you to or not!
__________________________________________________________________________________
Buying precast and premade blanks and costumes
Blanks
~blank sales are ALWAYS first PAY first serve. I may wave that if I see fit and any time I see fit. But for base rules. always expect this.
~if I am away while you comment wanting a blank, and another user asks for the same blank below you I will contact you first. If you do not respond within 24 hours of contact AND If you can not pay for the blank up front, (or I do not see fit to hold it for you), I will then ask the next interested party and if they can pay up front THEY will get the blank.
~Things you can do with resin bases you purchase from me:
Use them for a commissioned head,
Use them for your own mask ,
Send them to another maker to have them make something with it for you or anyone else,
Throw them in the trash
Hug them and squeeze them and call them George...
THE POINT IS. you may do many things with them . that is your right as a buyer.
THINGS YOU CAN NOT DO WITH MY BLANKS:
Make molds of them (my artistic designs are my own intellectual property)
Sculpt over them to mold them
Claim that you made them (lie to the public. intellectual theft)
cause harm to yourself or others with the blank

__________________________________________________________________________________
CAUTION PLEASE!!!!!:
~ Do not use any of my products while performing dangerous activities. No piece of mine is tested for any sort of rough use and is most definitely not to be used in place of proper safety gear in any situation!
~Please be careful and mindful of your surroundings while wearing a mask or a mask created from one of my blanks. Despite possible good vision in a resin blank or mask, There is still a lot of blind area. Please practice safe activities while wearing a mask or any costume piece. Having someone with you (a "spotter") that is NOT wearing any obstruction of vision with you when you wear your costume is very important!
~ Please do not force any person besides yourself to come in contact with your costume or costume piece. On that case, ALSO please do not allow in-experienced individuals get a hold of your costume piece! (what does this mean???) Well,
* "in-experienced": Individuals that have not read, or were not informed of these warnings, have not had explanation of how to treat a costume or costume piece of this sort, or anyone under the legal age of adulthood. In this case The costume belongs to you. But Just keep it out of the reach of someone that could take it and misuse it, resulting in either the costume becoming damaged or the person becoming injured.
* Many parts of these costumes are made of a hard substance (plastic resin) When used incorrectly, They can hurt someone. Roughhousing in your costume with yourself or any others is not appropriate and can result in injury!
* As stated at the top of the page. There are cats in the household where I create these costumes. They come from a feline friendly home. As you accept that you are not allergic to kitties. Anyone around you may be!
Just please be careful with your costume. I want to create these costumes for your happiness, Please use them in a manner where you and those around you can stay that way!
__________________________________________________________________________________
IN CONCLUSION
I expect every situation in which money trades hands between you and I to have been done only if you accept these terms. If you do not accept these terms do not commission me, buy anything from me and basically exchange money with me! Please let me know if you do not accept these terms as I will have to refuse sale.
