I would definitely re-read it and consider making your tone a little more formal/ less aggressive to the client.
Do not ask me every single day about your commission. I will not feel obligated to work on it because you WILL annoy me and will rush to get it done.
"Please keep contact/ requests for updates to (x amount) during this transaction. I will do my best to respond to you within (y hours)."
I am a high school student. School work comes first.
Aside from potentially commissioning a minor, this reads as a red flag. I'd remove it entirely. It's generally understood that folks have other things going on. How many times have we heard "my life comes first" when an artist fails to deliver in a timely fashion?
Remember, once you secure a spot your commission is final. Please do not commission me if you feel that you will have a hard time paying for it or will no longer be interested in the item (see below). Remember, a fursuit is a luxury and not a necessity!
"Commissions of this nature can be costly investments. Please consider it carefully before contacting me."
I will not start working on your project until it is mostly or fully paid off.
Define mostly. It's better than a vague thing, as some clients may expect "mostly" to be 60% when you think mostly is 80%.
Lastly, add in an abandonment clause for if a client fails to pay for their suit.
