PERGERINE RABBIT ARTS (aka "The Business", "we", "us", "our", and "Pergerine Rabbit") functions on several Core Ideals. These Ideals are as follows:
1. No one knows how they want to express themself better than themself.
2. No human is inherrently wrong for being human.
3. Humans are animals who love to play, express, create, and share happiness.
4. Humans come in every variety imaginable, and we should all do our best to accomodate that variety, except where that variety inherrently excludes and creates legitimately dangerous issue for other variety.
As these ideals might suggest, we DO NOT condone the usage of generative Artificial Intelligence to create art, writing, music, summaries, chat logs, advertisements, or any other expression of the human condition. These systems burn immense amounts of fuel and create hostile living spaces for poor and often marginalized communities. The Business is not, in any way, interested in holding space for that, and solicitors seeking to furnish the business with such systems will be sent directly to Spam and reported to their domain host for same.
Our core audience was most cleanly defined by the founder and current sole proprietor, Anwen LeBlanc (an extremely sex positive queer disabled furry,) as "All of Our Fellow Four Fs" - ie, "Freaks, Furries, Fujoshis, and Faggots". As such, Pergerine Rabbit Arts holds strong support for the LGBTQIA+ community, and every kink and subcommunity under its umbrella. We have adopted similar core beliefs of "The Organization for Transformative Works"- that as long as no other real, living, breathing thing is being considerably harmed by the simple creation or act of something, it deserves space, and that space deserves to be properly labeled and uncensored. As a combination of these rules, coming in every variety means that everything that CAN be properly labeled WILL be properly labeled- and that means that a human should know themself well enough to not go into a space or purchase an item they know will contain something they do not personally want to expose themself to. In addition, these spaces often are founded, led, and obtain their vibrancy by trans people, indigineous people, and people of color. Pergerine Rabbit wants to hold space to ensure these voices get heard, these events continue to run, and these peoples are allowed to live their lives with the joy that is often taken from them or simply not afforded to them.
Since Pergerine Rabbit occupies these spaces frequented by the marginalized on the regular; We hold exactly ZERO TOLERANCE for employees or other helpers with any desire or attempt to shame, ostracize, santize, mock, harass, abuse, or otherwise make someone feel bad over who they are or what they like. This is inclusive of, but by no means limited to: race, skin color, or national origin; religious beliefs; sexuality; gender; mental or physical illness and/or disability; weight, height, size, or build; fetish and kink preferences, inclusive of any kink or fetish that does not legally constitute as the abuse of real-life adults, children, or animals (such inoffensives as drawings of Consentual Non-Consent, Diapers, "Feral", "LoliSho", etc.); drug usage or lack therupon; current or prior employment; tattoos, hairstyles, jewelry, and other personal style choices; and other personally identifying labels, traits, or objects not listed here. All employees and other Helpers of Pergerine Rabbit Arts constitute as Representatives of the Business. This is not to say that all represenatives of the business will enjoy or even be personally okay with every last one of these topics, however, ALL employees MUST tolerate and respect them, and know when to politely step away or dismiss themself or the customer if or when said topic becomes too much.
If, god forbid, ANY representative of Pergerine Rabbit Arts is in violation of these core ideals, firstly The Business is deeply sorry that ever had to happen, and secondly please contact "wynn@pergerinerabbit.com" with details of the interaction So that an investigation may be opened and we may take care of this issue post-haste.
Pergerine Rabbit's Items are specifically made with folks with disabilities in mind, but the concept of dueling disabilites often makes such an effort difficult to fruitless, espicially with a highly visual field such as art. Despite this, we aim for a variety of textures, sensations, and sounds to give even the visually impaired among us a fun experience. Additionally, Pergerine Rabbit will go out of its way to make items more friendly to any given customer's disability, within reason. Such reasonable accomodations include but are not limited to outfitting a shirt with zippers or snaps rather than buttons; changing clasps on keychains and lanyards, installing pins for the customer, removing tags, et cetera. We kindly ask that you simply inform us of what you need and respect the time frame we may be able to do it in, espicially with pop-up events, fluxuating levels of traffic, and the size of the request. Obviously installing a pin is going to take a much shorter time than bringing an item back to the workshop to put a zipper in or adjust sizing!
The Business' dress code holds to a similar standard as our anti-harassment policy. Sales Science says that people hold a subconsious bias to not wanting to purchase from people who are not "like them". Therefore, since businesses are primarily owned by caucasian people over the age of 50 and in possession of large sums of money, the stylistic sensibilities as to what is considered "professional" in the workforce often only rewards what makes caucasian people over the age of 50 with large sums of money comfortable. We think this is Dumb, espicially with knowing the four Fs of our Core Audience.
Our dress code for our representatives holds the following rules:
1. Do not be visibly, unnaturally dirty, muddy, crusty, or oily.
2. Do not have an unnatural odor offensive enough to be commented on by others, regardless of it is bodily odor or heavy perfume.
3. Do not wear or adhere any unreclaimable slur or explitive to your body in any visible location, such as through a tattoo, or on a shirt.
4. Do not wear clothing that exposes your nipples, genitals, or buttcrack- regardless of sex or gender.
5. Do not wear clothing that is too loose or too cumbersome to safely operate a pin press, carry items around the extremely small shop space, or reach over the counter to handle merchandise and currency notes. (Such as large fursuit parts, flowing sleeves, and ultra-wide legged pants)
Everything else is Fair Game. Management reserves the right to impose other rules based on where the pop-up is going to be located, given at a minimum of two weeks notice. Management will supply clothing to wear for the day if the representative shows up with nothing appropriate to wear. Management will defend representatives following dress code regardless of customer feelings on such. If the representative's problem is hygine-related they will be given situationally-appropriate means to cleanse themselves, such as a travel toothbrush, dry shampoo, wet wipes, and deodorant. Refusal to cleanse even with accomodations will result in representative dismissal.
Just as Pergerine Rabbit Arts does not Tolerate our helpers abusing customers, we do not tolerate customers abusing our representatives or management. Representatives are given reasonable discretion to tell a customer when they are being inapropriate, rude, unnecessary, abusive, or otherwise uncomfortable (ie, an incident.) Representatives have full authority to call event security and record incidents using electronic means. Repeated incidents will result in a customer being placed on the shop's blacklist. The blacklist is not and will not be made public, for the safety of all individuals involved. An individual will be informed when they are on the blacklist. Attempts to circumvent the blacklist will also be treated as Incidents. In the rare but not impossible event of shoplifting or other serious, extreme, violent or otherwise unusual or bizzare incidents, Legal action will be taken as necessary and available, to the fullest extent of the law. Additionally, Pergerine Rabbit reserves the right to refuse business at any time, to any person, for any reason, stated or otherwise.
Pergerine Rabbit Arts does NOT accept PayPal or PayPal Products (cashapp, venmo, etc.) All payments that are made through personal or cashier's cheque are subject to a 15 (fifteen) business day hold to ensure proper output of funds. All card payments are processed through Square (in-person) or Stripe (online). We accept most forms of contactless payment, including apple pay and google pay. Cash is King and we offer a small discount for using it over card. Pergerine Rabbit additionally requires proof of identification for all contracted work to be completed at customer request, such as commissions. All IDs must be in-hand. By purchasing, you (the purchaser) agree to hold harmless Pergerine Rabbit Arts for any deliberate, intentional, or accidental misuse of their products, inclusive of but not limited to: modifications to premade product; inappropriate placements; use as a weapon of any kind; allowing items into the care of children and/or animals; etc.

The Business holds a Hard Belief in Transparency- Where our goods are coming from, who is making them, how far they are being shipped for us to offset carbon emission, that said manufacturers being paid appropriately and working in good and fair conditions, and that they also uphold similar values to us. Similarly, We also keep this guide public, not only for ease of helper access, but to let our customer base know where our company stands and on what policies.
