Terms of service
BY CLAIMING THE CLIENT AUTOMATICALLY AGREES WITH MY TERMS OF SERVICE
Rights & Ownership
As an artist, I do retain the copyright to the artwork and, in case of Closed Species (CS), of intellectual property. This means that the character is yours, but you were not the one who design it, nor the owner of the species it belongs to.Editing my original art file in any way, including removing the watermark, is not allowed.If you own a design of mine, you can re-post it to other sites with proper credit. It must also be specified if it's a CS.My CS have a strict non breeding rule, to avoid the creation of more member of that CS not under my control. This is specified in the description of all my CS.Unless specified otherwise in the description, I do not give unwatermarked, high resolution versions of my art, nor .psd files. If you wish to have the file sent to you by mail, you can ask me about it and I'll do it, but I generally don't do this by default.If you have ANY question or doubt about this ToS, or about what you can/cannot do with my designs, please ask so BEFORE claiming/purchasing.
USE
You can use/draw a design only after purchasing it.You can draw your bought design as many times as you want, in any way you wish.You can use your bought design in comics, books and such, as long as credit is given and CS status is made clear.You cannot use my original art to make prints/cups/merchandise in general. However, creating your own art for this purpose is fine.Editing a design is possible, but ask me about it BEFORE claiming/purchasing. CS are allowed edits such as scars/tattoos, but anything that is not within the species' standard will be denied.Color changes of any kind are usually allowed, unless the CS has a rarity trait that concerns color.
Purchasing
A claim starts when I have received a clear intention of purchase. Claim properly to start the adoption.'I'll take him/her', 'I want to buy him/her', 'Can I have them?' are examples of acceptable claims.'I'd really like him/her', 'Mine' and/or inquiries about price/status/etc are not acceptable claims.After your claim, you'll be asked for confirmation and I will send a note with my paypal address for the payment.You have 24 hours to complete the payment. After that time has passed, you'll get a 24 hours warning before the adoptable will be considered open again.No refunds.Once payment has been sent, you cannot change your mind over the adoptable you want.Once you have purchased an adopt, you cannot 'swap' it with another one in my gallery, even if they have the same price.Pre-sets follow the rule of 'First come, first serve' for the first two days.After two days, holds can be put in place.
RE-SELLING
Gifting, trading and re-selling are allowed. Reselling must not be at a higher price than what was paid for it in the beginning, unless extra art is present. Older adopts have lower prices, those prices cannot be raised in case of re-selling.When re-selling, the old owner must warn the new one to contact me so I can change the character's status description.When re-selling a CS, you must alert the new buyer of the character's status.If you purchased a character that has an unwatermarked/higher resolution version and you decide to re-sell it, it is your responsability to deliver such file to the new adopter.Re-sold designs will not be eligible for commercial use. (Personal use in novels/comics/etc is fine, mass production is not)

I'm accepting ONLY 100% up-front payments in USD or EUROS via Paypal.
