Terms.

By commissioning a project, you agree to the Terms of Service outlined below. Please read them carefully before making any payment.

✢ 02. QUEUE & WAITLIST

  • Due to high demand, commissions are typically scheduled 3 to 4 months in advance.

  • Specific deadlines must be discussed and confirmed before payment.

  • In the case of unexpected delays, I will communicate transparently and offer alternatives or refunds as appropriate.
