Commissions Policy Clarification!

This is something that i need to clarify, something that i should have made clear a while ago!
Whenever someone commissions me, it is typical of me to provide them with 2-3 WIP images. Images that show the Work In Progress stage in the form of rough sketches. The stage that comes before i start inking. This stage is the ONLY time that the commissioner needs to point out to me any problems/changes that they want done to the sketch. Changes such as posing, facial expressions, how something looked in general.
As a Commissioner, you MUST tell me all these changes during the WIP stage. If you don't tell me these issues by the final WIP, i will presume you're satisfied and i will move onto inking. From this stage, the only changes that you can make are colour changes. Such as changing the hair/eye colour of a character.
Think. If you were commissioned a detailed shading image, and when you're almost done with the image the commissioner suddenly asks you to change the pose, i'm willing to bet you'd be pissed.
So yes, this is something i needed to let out, because recently i had an issue where a commissioner failed to tell me several items during the WIP that they wanted changed, forcing me to undo work to go back and fix it. I'd prefer to keep that to a minimum, and this policy is the best way.
