HopefulMonsterStudios is a small buisness. Our primary crafter is a stay-at-home mom, and the other artists involved all have other jobs outside of Cruinndrac Farms. As such, we cannot guarantee any specific deadline for the creation of new Wyrms. Each Wyrm is a custom creation, and takes many hours of work and many hands to create. HopefulMonsterStudios is not a large-scale company who mass-produces products, and as such we are are subject to the natural day to day delays that may affect anyone, including: supply delays, family issues, illness, weather delays, etc. Any completion estimates are just that, estimates, and are subject to change depending on a variety of factors.

HopefulMonsterStudios and CruinndracFarms prides itself on keeping our buyers up to date on the status of their orders. We offer a status page which can be checked at any time, and buyers are free to contact us about the status of their orders.

The only time items may be moved up in the queue is if HopefulMonsterStudios chooses to do so due to an issue on our end. Contacting us will not give anyone priority over others who are also waiting in the queue.

ShadraAvroArt is a small business which produces custom artwork including but not limited to: drawings, sculpture, dolls, and costume items. Cruinndrac Farms is a the part which handles all aspects of the collectible creatures known as Wyrms. The ability to collect, display, and breed these Wyrms is a service offered by Cruinndrac Farms.

Anyone interested in requesting a breeding/commission must be 18 years of age or have their parent or guardian’s permission. By requesting a breeding/commission, you/your guardian hereby agree to be legally bound by the following Terms and Conditions:

Services

Any requests for Wyrm breedings through Cruinndrac Farms are considered to be commissions for custom items to be created by the staff of CDF. We are under no obligation to accept any/every commission, including a Wyrm breeding requests. Purchasing a Wyrm at a convention or online is not a guarantee of future breedings/commissions. When purchasing a Wyrm, you are purchasing the collectable creature as-is. Breedings are offered as a service only, and may be refused at any time. Usually, this will be due to behavior, previous non-payment, or limited availability of breeding/commission slots.

If the commission is accepted, this is considered a contract between the buyer and Cruinndrac Farms for the item or items purchased. The buyer pays for their purchase, and staff will produce a new, custom Wyrm for them.

Cruinndrac Farms makes no guarantees as to the appearance of any Wyrm. These are hand-made, one of a kind creations, which are guided by the genetics of the parent Wyrms. Offspring Wyrms may or may not match what the buyer expects, but we work very hard to make sure they are a good representation of their parents and are made with the best quality we can offer.

Bred Wyrms come with the following items:

  • Sculpted/furred Wyrm collectable
  • Datacard (digital)
  • Egg charm


Deadlines

CDF is a small buisness. As such, we cannot guarantee any specific deadline for the creation of new Wyrms. Each Wyrm is a custom creation, and takes many hours of work and many hands to create. This is not a large-scale company who mass-produces products. As such we are are subject to the natural day to day delays that may affect anyone, including: supply delays, family issues, illness, weather delays, etc. Any completion estimates are just that, estimates, and are subject to change depending on a variety of factors.

CruinndracFarms prides itself on keeping our buyers up to date on the status of their orders. We offer a status page which can be checked at any time, and buyers are free to contact us about the status of their orders. Once in the work queue, items will be worked on in batches/groups and updates will be made regularly. Contacting us will not give anyone priority over others who are also waiting in the queue.

Prices/Payment

Like with most items, the prices of Wyrms are subject to change at any time. HopefulMonsterStudios strives to make our prices reasonable, but they are influenced by things such as packaging, shipping and material costs. The price of a Wyrm is locked in during each breeding season, and any breedings accepted during that season will remain at that price.

When a commission/breeding is accepted, the buyer is expected to make a payment towards their purchase within 72 hours (3 days). This payment will be a deposit of 50% of the full purchase cost. The deposit price is non-refundable. This deposit price helps to cover the cost of materials that HopefulMonsterStudios will need to purchase and any prep-work that needs to be done prior to the creation of the new Wyrm.

As Wyrm orders are finished, their status will be updated on the Breeding Status page. Handlers will be notified at the time that their Wyrm is completed. They will then be expected to pay the remainder of their bill within 7 days (1 week). If the full amount is not paid at that time, then HopefulMonsterStudios reserves the right to re-sell the Wyrm to another buyer to recoup the cost of materials and work time.

Payments are currently processed through PAYPAL only. Please do not send us payments directly. An invoice with the cost of your full payment or deposit will be sent to your e-mail address at the time of purchase.This invoice can be paid through a Paypal account, credit card, or debit card. Please double check that the shipping address you provided is correct on your invoice, as this is used to calculate your shipping cost.

Shipping

CDF committed to packaging our products with the best materials and we are always looking for new ways to make sure they get to buyers without damage. We do our best to keep our shipping costs reasonable, but are subject to the changes and prices of the Postal Service. Unless otherwise discussed with the buyer, we use the US Postal Service as our carrier.

Shipping will only have to be paid during the second payment and we will include a break down of all costs associated with your shipment, including insurance. This cost is calculated based on weight and the location the package is being shipped to. All packages include basic tracking within the US which will be provided to the buyer at the time the item is shipped. International orders will not be tracked beyond the border of the United States.

We are not responsible for damage/loss of uninsured items by the Postal Service. If there is damage to any uninsured item, we will be glad to talk the buyer through doing basic at-home repairs.

Issues/Cancellations/Refunds

Usually, the spreadsheet we offer on our website provides the most accurate up to date information, but we welcome buyers to let us know if they have concerns. Please be aware that the more e-mails we have to respond to, the less time we have to work on our products. Please try not to send multiple mails regarding your order status and instead check the order status spreadsheet for current information.

If, at any time, the buyer has any concerns regarding their order, the first point of contact would be to send an e-mail to:
ShadraAvroArt@gmail.com

The buyer may cancel their order at any time, however, we ask that they talk to us about their concerns or issues prior to cancellation. Due to the fact that we are only asking for a non-refundable deposit for supplies up-front, there is NO REFUND for cancelled products. Any Wyrms created at the time of cancellation may be re-sold to cover the cost of work time. Used breedings (the amount of times a Wyrm can be bred) may or may not be returned to the parent Wyrms, at the discretion of Shadra.

If you would like to cancel your order, please contact Shadra at the e-mail above. You may also send a direct message via Discord or Telegram.
