Bent Realm Studios
is a small online home based
business, at present. Some of the
business is done via shopkeeping
with various third party sites. The site
which each shop is attached to has
it's own policies, you may need to
look at their help topics, or contact
their customer service for various
things.

Sites I use for shopkeeping:


powers my Studio Supply Shop  
___________________________

For Original Art & Handmade Items
Etsy | My Etsy Shop | My shop policies
___________________________

For print on demand merchandise
(T-Shirts, Apparel, Posters, Prints,
Stationary, Stamps, Mugs,
Skateboards,Tote Bags & more)
Zazzle | Bent Realm on Zazzle |  
Decadent Angels shop | Domestic
Rebel
____________________________

There are more that I use and they
will be added as I make items
available through them.

Often it is they who handle things
such as shipping, returns, etc. Each
of our main shop pages on here will
mention which site powers it, if a third
party site does power it.
This is the only way I have the ability
to make many of these items
available.
If the shops have a way for me to
include some of my own policies then
I will add them to the appropriate
sections of this site as they become
available.
At present the only ways to
contact me are online (skype,
emails, social networking sites like
Twitter, Facebook, & Myspace, and
instant messaging). All transactions
and conversations shall be enacted
online.
I do not have business phone line and
am not comfortable giving out my
home phone number or address to
people I do not know. If I know you
personally I will give you my number.
Once I obtain a P.O. Box it shall be
listed on the contact page, same with
when I obtain a business line.

Privacy Policy:
Any private/sensitive information we

delivery of the newsletter and a few
Bent Realm special offers per year.

Your information that goes through
any part of this site that uses third
party sites and applications will be

I do not spam, for it is reprehensible
and entirely unnecessary.
____________________________
Please note that because this is an
online & home-based business and all
work is done by one person - sales
tax, on the original art & handmade
items and services especially, is the
sole responsibility of the
customer/client, and may be due
come tax time. I will later have sales
tax supported for Arizona.

How to commission art or obtain services:

  • Fill out the Service/ Commission Request form on
    the Contact Page. Be sure to fill out all fields for
    faster processing. Provide a valid email.
  • Respond to my follow up questions.
  • I will then decide whether to take the commission or
    not. I will then send you the price, payment terms
    and estimated time frame, as well as a confirmation
    of your order details. Confirm the order and make a
    payment. In most cases payment in full is required
    upfront for me to begin work on it.

    address provided during checkout; some digital items

    payment is received.
  • A few items are only available in the United States,
    but many are available internationally.

    in the mail and while en route to you.
  • Most items cannot be rushed, be sure to order plenty
    of time in advance.
  • Shipping is done on Thursdays. In order to make the
    Thursday shipment: the order must already be a
    completed item ordered and paid for by 5 pm on
    Wednesday. Custom made to order items will be sent
    the Thursday after they are completed (work on the
    order will not begin until payment is made in full or
    payment arrangement is being adhered to, shipping
    also hinges on continued adherence to payment
    arrangement if one has been made).
I am not able to take Returns, Exchanges nor give Refunds
from my handmade shops nor services, in general.
• All sales are final.
•Many items are one of a kind originals and not
replaceable.
• I do my best to ensure all orders, including custom
orders, are properly done/handled prior to shipping.
Reasonable revisions to service orders will be made when
possible at no additional cost.

If you are not happy with your order when it's received or it
was somehow damaged, etc. during the shipping please
report the problems to me promptly and I will see what can
be done.

More info on Refunds, Returns and exchanges can be
found here.
