ORIGINAL DESIGNER

1) I retain all Intellectual Property copyrights to the official design art and design.

2) I have the right to use the official design art for self-promotional purposes.

• Example: Using the official design art as an example for commission services or design services or portfolio purposes.

3) I do not have the right to use the design for personal or commercial creative projects or work, unless I trade/buy the design back to myself.

OWNER

SPECIFIC RULES ON RESALE/TRADE/GIFT:

• You may resell the design but not over the amount you had paid for.
• You may trade the design, but from that trade forward that design is no longer resell-able, only trade-able.
• You may gift the design, but from that gift forward that design can only be gift-able.

1) You cannot claim to have created the official design art nor the design.

2) You cannot use the design nor the official design art in any commercial work*.  

• *commercial work means anything that generates income in any way or form. Such as but not limited to: print, merchandise, Patreon, subscription based platforms.

3) You may use the design and official design art for personal/private purposes such as role-playing, world-building, writing, and/or non-profit creative projects* AS LONG AS specific credit to me is given AND a link back to my website: hjeojeo.com.

•  *a Non-profit creative project is a creative work such as a game, comic, printed medium,et cetera that is absolutely not affiliated or involved in the generating of income/money. It is not a merchandise, nor is it funded by investors, nor is it funded by any subscription services such as Patreon. Absolutely no money is involved in the creation or distribution.

4) You may use the design and the official design art for other personal/private purposes such as social media icon/avatars, banners, headers, footers.

5) You may get commissions of the design, however additional art does not raise the price of the design if you ever decide to resell it. 

• (EXCEPTION: outfit adopts! If you resell an outfit adopt design I've created but sell it together with a character that wears it, then that is the one instance where the resell price can be higher due to it not being only my design anymore!)

6) You cannot make any major changes to the design. Please ask permission from original designer/ HJeojeo about what you'd like to change. In most cases it will be approved, unless it changes the design so drastically it is no longer recognizable as the design.

7) You may request to purchase the Intellectual Property copyrights of the design. (The price for these copyrights is usually 200% ~ 500% of the original price)

• An owner who has bought the intellectual property copyrights will be given a contract as proof of the transaction.
• The design will be yours to use in commercial work.
• buying the Intellectual property copyrights does not include the license of the official design art. That can be a separate purchase.

Any purpose not listed here, please make sure to ask me first before using.

If you resell or trade or gift to a new owner who doesn't own a toyhouse account, simply transfer the character to my adopt side account here: HJEO_ADOPTS along with information on who the new owner is.
