Custom Character Commission:
Custom Character Commission:
Custom characters are required to have a clear 2-3 View reference of the character. This can be through various artworks, photos of existing suits, or most importantly Reference Sheets. You must have a clear view of the front, back, arms, legs, tail, and head. Any markings or colors that are inconsistent between artwork, photos, ref sheets, etc, need to be addressed in the quote request. Fur colors will be matched to references provided. If you have preferred fur choices or colors, it is your duty to inform us. If the quality of the fur you have chosen is in our opinion substandard, we are free to use a higher quality fur of similar or alike colors at our own discretion. Fur colors vary frequently so it is solely our authority to choose which colors best represent references provided.

On occasion, a fur dye lot or a certain style will be out of stock and may not be reproducible. By commissioning us, you relinquish the rights to us to make the final decision in what fur colors and types to use for your character. We will do our best to work with you to get the exact colors and fur types you had in mind, but it is not guaranteed. Descriptions of characters, as well as references photos of real life animals are also welcome, however they are subject to our own interpretation. We have the final say with any design or concept that does not have a strict reference of it.

Fursuit Style:
Fursuit Style:
Peace of Meow has its own specific design. We specialize in toony and semi-realistic fursuits and will generally stay within that realm of creativity. References provided that are more realistic, or otherwise far away from a toony design are indeed acceptable, but will only be used as a guide to making a toony-semi realistic fursuit. We will only attempt designs outside of our style when strictly agreed upon in a quote inquiry with the commissioner. We will not replicate any other makers styles.

Peace of Meow is an ever changing and adapting company. Older, outdated designs of any of our products, templates, etc. may no longer exist and can be refused to work with at our discretion. If you're trying to match new parts with older designs or fur colours they probably won't go together.

Artistic Liberty Character Commission:
Artistic liberty characters are not required to have any forms of Reference. Any reference material provided may be taken into consideration, but does not have to be used in the final outcome of the fursuit. With artistic liberty, we only allow the choice of species and additional features. We will make the decisions when it comes to color, markings, and designs, although we do allow suggestions as to which direction this character wants to be taken.

Warranty:
Warranty:
All suits we make have a 90-day warranty from the date of shipping. If considering the warranty, please have the shipping post marked within the 90 days, otherwise fees may be applied to otherwise free services. The warranty includes, but is not limited to, holes or ripped seams, incorrect sizes of parts such as head, bodies, hands and feet, and areas where adhesives fail. This warranty will NOT cover wear and tear, self-inflicted damage, and incorrect sizing of parts of which the commissioner is accountable for (for example, having size 8 shoes but requesting a suit with size 6 shoes, or having improper body measurements and receiving a suit that’s either too small or too baggy).

Any outside modifications (that have not already been given the okay by us) voids the warranty and any adjustments/repair thereafter will require payment. You will receive confirmation and a schedule of when these fixes will be made. Please bear in mind there will be delays to fursuits outside of warranty. We reserve the right to void warranty at our discretion. You are allowed to have someone who is a fellow suit maker to fix your suit under the condition that, that person reaches out to us and informs us of what they will do to fix the issue and they provide pictures of what they did so we can take note of any changes.

Refunds:
Refunds:
Refunds are not available for the full amount as some planning and materials expenses are not refundable, if you request a refund, we will attempt to refund as much as possible. Once a costume is complete, a refund is no longer available. If a commission happens to be cancelled during construction, a refund will be warranted based off what work has already been done. This reflects the total cost and is calculated by hours worked on the suit and materials used.

Design and Changes:
Design and Changes:
After confirming your slot via deposit payment, you are in our queue and your order is placed. If there are any changes you may come across, they must be made before work on your commission is started, otherwise they are subject to delays and/or additional costs.
After confirming your slot via deposit payment, you are in our queue and your order is placed. If there are any changes you may come across, they must be made before work on your commission is started, otherwise they are subject to delays and/or additional costs.
Some changes are small and easy to edit, such as adding eyelids and eyebrows, or changing a color without affecting the pattern of the body or any other small changes that do not require additional purchases or more than a trivial amount of work. Choosing to have a different character done, editing a current character with multiple new colors or markings, or requesting additional large parts may incur an extra cost and prolong the time the suit is in the creation phase. Please bear this in mind if you plan any debut dates, as new changes unaccounted for may cause us to have to adjust our schedule.

Work in Progress:
We do indeed offer work in progress photos! You are free to reach out to us via our Email- info@peaceofmeow.com. But we will usually provide updates regularly.

We want to make you the best possible suit we can. We reserve the right to post any work in progress photos on social media and websites. If you plan to debut your fursuit and wish to keep it a secret, please express this in the quote inquiry.

Deadlines:
Deadlines:
Peace of Meow does not like the idea of having a completion date/time. We don't like being rushed or feel like we can't get what you want made in time for a specific event. All commissions are subject to possible delays. Any commissions not under rush deadline do not have any guaranteed completion dates. Any dates discussed are estimates, which are subject to change based on multiple factors including but not limited to complexity of projects, position in queue, and our overall workload.

Guaranteed con deadlines will incur an additional fee taking into the cost of the whole project being commissioned. This will be considered on case by case basis dependent on a number of variables; including but not limited to: Commission date, con date, proximity of con, number of currently available slots. A con guaranteed deadline will be considered fulfilled if the suit is completed and delivered before the opening ceremony on the first day of the convention and is in wearable condition. (Or otherwise agreed upon date or event)

Expedited shipping for con deadlines must be covered by the commissioner at the time of shipping. If for whatever reason the agreed upon deadline is not made, the rush fee will be refunded. This offer will not include last minute changes to date, time, or location. We are not responsible for any delays that may arise from postal services being slowed, if the package is stuck in customs, or lack of communication on the part of the commissioner that might impede expedited delivery.

Shipping within the United states will be conducted by United States Postal Service (USPS) Priority shipping with tracking Or United Postal Service (UPS).

Repairs and Alterations:
Repairs and Alterations:
Repairs and/or alterations outside of the warranty are at the cost of the commissioner including shipping and return shipping. We may be able to give you an estimate on the cost of the repair, though it is subject to change. Once we have the suit inspected we will be able to give you an exact cost of the repairs as well as the completion time. We will not return a fursuit until it is fully paid for. If you're sending in your fursuit to us to get alterations or repairs we require that the suit MUST be clean before you send it in. We refuse to work on a dirty bodysuit for cleanliness reasons. If you send us a bodysuit that is dirty, a fee for cleaning will be applied. Cleaning a fursuit can take days to clean and dry properly so please do it beforehand.
