Shop Policies

Twilight Knights Cosplay strives for customer satisfaction while ensuring profitability. All products are handcrafted with time and love. On this page, you can find our full list of Terms and Conditions of Service and general shop policies that must be agreed to when purchasing from our store. 

​

Payment 

Unless discussed otherwise with the client, we require a non-refundable deposit of 100$ USD + applicable taxes, on all commissions. This fee counts towards the total commission value and gives the client a 30-day grace period to make the first monthly installment or downpayment.  If the client is unable to pay their first installment/downpayment on time, they forfeit their commission slot and the 100$ deposit.

 

Invoices for monthly installments are sent out on the 1st of each month, and clients have until the end of said month to make their payments. A 5% late fee is applied to any missed or late payments, additionally, the client may potentially be moved down in the queue. If a client misses 3 payments without prior communication and approval they will be removed from the queue with or without a refund depending on the circumstances. For customers purchasing Premade costumes the first payment must be received within 2 business days, with the remaining balance paid according to the terms of sale as discussed with the client before purchasing. Failure to comply will result in a cancellation with a maximum refund of 50%. A 13% HST sales tax is applied on all transactions, this is non-negotiable and non-refundable. 

 

Payments can be made either via PayPal, or Stripe. 

Shipping

Shipping is not included unless otherwise stated. Shipping that is included on orders is standard shipping, which does not include insurance or a tracking number. If your purchase is lost in the mail, there is nothing that we can do unless you have upgraded to a shipping service that includes a tracking number or insurance. To upgrade your shipping service, please contact us for prices prior to us shipping.

Furthermore, as the buyer you are responsible for any duties, taxes, customs, and/or import fees that may occur. If an item exceeds the estimated or prepaid total for shipping we will contact you to request further payment, should you refuse to pay or be unable to pay your items may be withheld until payment is made. If you wish to cancel you will be refunded to the value of the product but not the shipping. The product in question will then be put up for sale unaltered unless the design is of a character you own in which case minor alterations will be done though it will largely be kept the same.

Refund Policy

We do not offer refunds on items lost or damaged due to shipping as these are things beyond our control. Refunds are applicable on items over commissions for physical products only. Refunds are done on a case-by-case basis, but the maximum eligible amount for a commission is 60% of the original commission value, the remaining 40% is non-refundable, as it goes to cover overhead costs such as material and labour. Please note that shipping and tax are never refunded. 

Misc.

ALLERGY WARNING

All products are made in a smoke-free home-studio environment with onsite pets, however, no animals are permitted within the studio.  If you have severe allergies or wish to inquire as to the breed or species of our pets please contact us. Thank you.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

 

Prior to beginning your commission, we will reach out to go over the details of your commission to ensure that there have been no changes to the design or desired features. At which time, we will request the client's Duct Tape Dummy (DTD) if required, and go over colour choices for the furs. Once the materials have arrived and production begins we will send you photos during the various stages of production for approval. While awaiting approval no further work will be completed until approval has been received. Once approved further alternations will be charged at a rate of 35$/hr + materials. Prior to approval, clients can request alterations to be made, such as changing the placement, or size of a marking prior to us sewing the marking. Should you decline to pay for additional revisions, your order will be completed as-is.
