All delivery dates are based on a rough estimate and not a binding guarantee of completion by said date.
Changes and/or Modifications to a TAWZ Product: Any requests for modifications to any current or past order must be requested in writing to the TAWZ email address (thorgiarts@gmail.com) and must be expressly accepted by TAWZ in writing.

No changes will be made until the quoted price has been paid in full. TAWZ will not modify any suits made by another maker.
Payment Schedule: TAWZ may at its discretion agree to a payment plan (or arrangements for payment). By accepting the terms of a payment plan, the commissioner is agreeing to make payments on an agreed upon schedule. If the commissioner discovers they are unable to make payments as scheduled, the commissioner must contact TAWZ before the next payment is due to discuss the situation and new terms to continue or cancel the arrangement and/or production of the work product. In the event that regular payments cease without warning, TAWZ will make reasonable attempts to contact the commissioner by standard and agreed-upon means.
