Scheduling Commissions
Scheduling is generally done on a first come, first served basis, however scheduling is at the Artist's discretion. Time frames for finishing a piece are rough estimates.

Artist will not be held responsible for circumstances beyond the Artist's control.

If, for any reason, Client cancels the order after Artist begins work on the custom order, 50% of the total purchase price is non-refundable (deposit is non-refundable once your order is actually started).
If Client is dissatisfied after Client receives the order, Artist will do limited additional adjustments at the Artist's discretion, provided Client covers any further shipping costs.
Artist is not responsible for damage or loss during shipping. Client may request and pay an additional fee for shipping insurance.
If a personal check is accepted for payment, Client agrees to pay a minimum of $25 fee in case of Insufficient Funds/Returned Checks.
