▶ Purchased adoptables may be traded for vouchers/designs and/or goods, gifted, and resold for the same price it was originally bought for if purchased from me or another user. The only exception is you are allowed to add money to the original price for commissions that you paid for.
▶ Adoptables received through gifting or raffle may be traded and gifted but, may not be resold.
▶ You MUST note me with the new owner of the adoptable after you have exchanged.
DO NOT:
▶ Charge extra money for commissions gifted to you.
▶ Ask people to offer with no mention of the actual value (sale price + additional art). Have a solid value, even with vouchers. If you are unsure of the sale price, feel free to contact me.
▶ You may change normal adoptable 's design in any way you see fit, just don't claim the original base design as your own // like you can change color/etc but still credit that the design still came from me & you can mention you edited it to your liking.
▶ You may not change closed species designs unless a small change is desired and you have explicitly have asked me and received my permission with what you wanted to change.
▶ My designs should have one designated owner. Please avoid from splitting costs/etc. to avoid unnecessary problems.
▶ If you decide that you want to have a co-owner down the future, one designated owner still must be assigned and notified to me. This person has complete control of the character in my books. Please co-own at your own risk. If an issue arises, I am not liable for any issues between you and the other person. You must resolve the issue between yourselves.
▶ All payment through paypal must be in USD, and you will be sent an invoice. If you are uncomfortable with an invoice, please pay with points then. As I am sorry, but I will not accept if you just send money through paypal, it will immediately be refunded to you.
▶ Do not send any payment until I have asked you to send it.
▶ All payments must be sent for an adoptable within 48 hours after asked to send payment, unless asked for a hold.
▶ Holds are allowed up to a week for those who have purchased a commission or adoptable from me already. New purchasers are allowed up to 72 hours (3 days) at max for holds. The design is not yours until you have paid 100% of the payment. If you have NOT paid the complete payment, you may receive a refund for the amount you paid so far, however the down payment in the beginning for the hold is 100% non-refundable.
▶ You must use your own paypal account, it cannot be a parent's or a friends with permission (this is to avoid possible charge-backs when I have already given you ownership of the design). You must also agree before purchasing the design stating that you are in fact the owner of the paypal account, and you are above the age of 18. If you are not above the age of 18 or are not the owner of the paypal account you intend to pay for the design with, please pay through points only.
▶ Prices are subject to change according to complexity and demand.
▶ If full payment is not received within the time limit then the adoptable will be put back up for sale. Again, any down payment made is non-refundable, however you will be refunded any other payment made and the design will be put back up for sale.
▶ Do not take back bids/offers or so forth without very good reasoning.
▶ If for any reason you charge back me for a completed adoptable/design/outfit that you have purchased, you will be blacklisted and banned from any business with me. The completed adoptable/design/outfit that you purchased will no longer belong to you (as with a chargeback, that means you did not technically pay for the design) and will be placed up for sale again. If you attempt in any way to resell, trade or use a completed adoptable/design/outfit that you charged back the cash for, I will make a journal and notify anyone interested in buying/trading the design from you, that you no longer own it (I apologize, but as you no longer have ownership with a chargeback, you no longer have the right to resell/trade the design to anyone else).
▶ All questions, concerns, anything regarding commissions are to be made through deviantart notes.
▶ If you've commissioned me for a custom design or outfit you may check on the progress and/or ask for WIPS (a simple screenshot of what is done on the current commission) if it is done in a civil manner.
▶ Any rude, disrespectful, or abusive commissioners will have their custom design/outfit cancelled and be refunded minus the transaction fee and progress on their commission before the event. They may also be blocked/ignored and denied from so forth.
▶ No refunds at all for completed adoptables. If you become unsatisfied with your adoptable, you may resell the adoptable for the price you originally purchased it for, with the exception of +$ extra commissions you have bought.
▶ I claim all rights to the Intellectual Property, but I will not recycle the design.
▶ The commissioner/buyer/owner may never make any products for commercial use with my designs. [If you want to include them in a comic or so forth, please message me in advance and I'll most likely allow it as long as I am credited for the design each comic].
▶ Please save the adoptable's image or upload the image to another server after you have been sent the link.

▶ References should be very clear, and any additional notes should be mentioned if needed.
▶ I will correct any mistakes that I have made unless it was due to insufficient information, such as an unclear reference or not mentioned before the commission. I will not redraw a commission though.
▶ If the commission is of a character that does not belong to you, please send confirmation that you have permission from this person to commission their character. If the character is not yours, let me know.
▶ I reserve the right to refuse your commission with any question if I feel uncertain about your request for any reason whatsoever.

▶ All payments must be made upfront, and your commission will not be started until 100% of the payment has been received.
▶ You must use your own paypal account/be the owner of that paypal account (this is to avoid possible charge-backs when I have already taken on your commission). You must also agree before commissioning me stating that you are in fact the owner of the paypal account, and you are above the age of 18. If you are not above the age of 18 or are not the owner of the paypal account you intend to pay for your commission with, please pay through points only.
▶ If the payment is not received within 48 hours you will be taken off the list. I understand that sometimes sending money has trouble, but 48 hours is plenty of time to work with timezones/differences/trouble shooting.
▶ Prices are subject to change according to complexity and demand.
▶ All questions, concerns, anything regarding commissions are to be made through deviantart notes.
▶ You may check on the progress of your commission and/or ask for WIPS (a simple screenshot of what is done on the current commission) if it is done in a civil manner.

▶ You will receive your FULL-SIZED UNWATERMARKED commission through a one time use megafile link. This will be to protect me, as an artist from getting an UNJUST charge back (for an already finished commission or such). You must also CONFIRM afterward via note or email that you have received your commission, and you are satisfied with your purchase/received commission.
▶ I own full rights to the work, unless there has been an agreement between me and the commissioner to pay for the full rights.
▶ The commissioner may never edit/modify, distribute, make merchandise, claim credit, use for advertising for profit or non-profit.
▶ The commissioner is not permitted to edit/modify, change, recolor, filter, trace, or change anything about the commission unless you have explicitly word for word asked for permission. Resizing the whole image for thumbnails is permitted.
▶ If you require the commission to be private, an additional fee will be added, and must be mentioned before the commission is accepted. These commissions are not allowed to be posted on public websites at all. If I can't do it, you can't do it.
▶ The commissioner is allowed to use the image for personal uses, such as wallpapers, icons, and so forth. If the image is public, appropriate credit must be visibly presented.
▶ The commissioner will only receive the png or gif file if it is animated.
▶ After you have received your commission finished the transaction is completed. You are not permitted to ask for a refund if displeased, you may request correction of mistakes on my behalf, but no refunds.
▶ Please save the commission image or upload the image to another server after you have been sent the link. You never know when something may crash or the sta.sh file is deleted to clear space. I will be unable to retrieve it for you. This is your responsibility.
