~Armsleeves require either a DTD of one of your arms or the length of your arms and the circumferences of your wrist, upper arm and elbow and the measurement across your back.
~For handpaws I require your palm width, palm length and the length of each finger to make the best fitting handpaws for you.
~For feetpaws I require a DTD of at least one of your feet or measurements set out on MMM's footpaw measurement guide.
~For heads I require the circumference and length of your head as to ensure your head fits correctly.
**Duct Tape Dummies must be made to a good quality and the cut edge taped up well to ensure it does not break upon stuffing. Poorly made DTDs will be sent back to you at your expense or disposed of, and another will have to be made and sent to me**

~If you cancel a commission after work has been started, the deposit is non refundable and Meep's Marvelous Monstrosities will determine the amount that can be refunded based upon how much work has been done. Any completed or in progress parts will be sent to the commissioner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Design Changes
~After confirming your slot in Meep's Marvelous Monstrosities queue by paying your deposit, you may request extra parts such as eyelids, removable tongue, extra sets of handpaws, larger tail ect. However any drastic design changes requested such as adding extra colours, patterns or symbols if parts have already been completed they may not be possible. If parts have not been started, feel free to ask, but it most likely will result in a fee for new markings, especially if new colours are needed.
**Please make sure you are completely happy with your design before commissioning to avoid any issues mid way**
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Work In Progress Pics (WIPs)
~Meep's Marvelous Monstrosities will regularly provide WIPs of your commission at each different stage of progress (rough base, completed base, patterning, furring, details, eyes, parts ect) when your confirmation is needed to carry on.
~You may also request WIPs if you would like to see specific parts up close.
**Please do not constantly request WIPs every hour of the days when your suit is being worked on, as excited as you may be it will hinder work**
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Estimated completion times:
-Meep’s Marvelous Monstrosities does not usually accept deadlines on any commissions, unless it is easily doable such as when a suit is fully paid off and commissioned 3+months in advance. If a deadline is accepted a 'rush' fee may apply, this will be discussed before the commission is accepted.
-Meep’s Marvelous Monstrosities usually works on multiple suits at a time (1-2) and any estimated completion times are subject to change depending on payment plan payments, health related reasons and other commissions in the queue. Slots that are fully paid will be priority over all those on payment plans and given estimate start and completion dates, where as those on payment plans will get theirs once fully paid. It also must be understood that MMM is ran by just 1 person.
-Meep’s Marvelous Monstrosities will not rush any commissions as it will most likely affect the quality.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Warranty:
-Suits and parts made by Meep’s Marvelous Monstrosities have a 3 month warranty which will give free repairs for any popped seams or other parts which need repair if they are a fault on MMM’s part.
-The warranty will become void if MMM’s sees any modifications by the commissioner or another maker have been made, intentional damage, rough/overly strenuous activities such as rough housing, backflips ect, being poorly cared for or has been used for NSFW activities.
-Meep’s Marvelous Monstrosities will recommend that very small seam pops and other very small issues which are easy to fix are done by the commissioner, but it is advised to contact MMM before doing so to ensure it does not affect the warranty if it's still within the first 3 months and that it is okay to go ahead with self repair, which will save shipping the suit/part to me and back.
-All repairs after the warranty is up will be done between commissions where possibe and charged at £15 an hour plus shipping and handling costs to ship the suit/part back once repaired. The commissioner is responsible for shipping costs to send the suit/part for repair to MMM.
-If MMM is out at meets, cons or other events the client is welcome to ask for MMM to look over their suit in person and MMM will happily do any small repairs for free there and then providing MMM has the correct supplies on hand and the spare time to do so. If needed and providing MMM has space to safely take suit parts home with, any parts needing harder to do repairs doing, can be taken with MMM to save on shipping.

Fursuit head refurbishments, additions and other services:
MMM does offer refurbishments for older heads MMM has created, these are in different tiers (see misc pricing) based on the extent of work needing doing.
-All refurbishments offered by MMM will need to be discussed prior to see if whats wanted is possible to be done on a minimal or standard refurb or if full head replacement is needed.
-During refurbs additional extras can be added such as magnets for magnetic eyeslids, cheek blushes, adding in markings ect
-MMM offers cleaning services for heads when refurbishments are to be done, these are best if the client is unable to do a thorough deep clean themselves to a high standard to make sure everything is sanitary for MMM to carry out the work needed.
-When cleaning MMM will be using a handheld upholstery cleaner along with laundry cleaners (antibacterial laundry cleanser to remove bacteria and washing liquid for sensitive skin)
Due to potential allergies, you will need to discuss any brands/types of cleaners which MMM will use that may irritate your skin. Despite MMM cleaning thoroughly and doing their best to ensure cleaning product is rinsed out fully, there may be small traces left behind.
-MMM does have mild allergies to different pet fur/dander so please ensure any pet hair is removed where possible before sending and give MMM a heads up on what animal your pet is.
-Any parts which have been around cigarette smoke for long periods in the home/smoked in/vaped in/fire smoke damaged/left damp and moulded will be unable to be refurbished by MMM due to health risks involved doing so and oils from smoking/vaping being impossible for MMM to fully clean and get the scent out from the upholstery foam/fabric.
**MMM will not refurbish any heads/bodysuits/parts which have been used for NSFW purposes, especially heads. If the client fails to notify MMM of this to get their parts refurbished and MMM finds out the client will be permanently blacklisted from any future commissions**
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Other
~All emails/messages sent/received will be stored for a period of 2 years. This is for my own records and to protect me from reverse scammers during and after the commission has been completed as there will be proof of it being made, approval of each stage, proof of shipping and the commissioner's agreement to this TOS.
~MMM will not deliberately copy another makers style or use other's patterns/templates. Only parts made by MMM will be used which ranges from MMM's own handpaw, tail, eye templates to individually carved headbases.
~MMM makes suits from home and owns hamsters. but they are very unlikely to have contact with materials and finished products as they are kept separate.
MMM is happy to include 'special features' onto bodysuits ect, ask about it when getting a quote but you will need to provide ID if doing so.
*When contacting MMM please for work/repair/commission/quote purposes please do so using official means on MMM's business socials, not via MMM's personal accounts. Contacting MMM on personal accounts will not get anyone commissions ect done over others and messages are much less likely to be seen*
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Important:
-Fursuits made by MMM are made using upholstery foam, EVA foam, and heads are usually covered in fleece, minky or faux fur, this means they can get very hot inside after prolonged wear. It is highly recommended to take frequent breaks when performing/fursuiting to cool down and keep hydrated.
-It is highly recommended to always have a handler with you when performing to ensure you are safe in suit and guide you when out and about as vision is hindered, especially the peripheral vision and by an unavoidable blindspot in the middle.
**It is up to the commissioner to take care of themselves properly and to know their own limits when in suit**
-Be sure to properly care for and clean your suit, especially inside the head as sweat may slowly break down materials over time if left for long periods without cleaning. Also if the suit is not fully dry after cleaning and stored it risks damaging the suit and potential mould growth inside a damp head which will cause it to become a health hazard and will need completely replacing.
-For obvious reasons, keep your suit away from fire, especially when it is being worn.
