Pierre's Ownership

TERMS OF SERVICE.

When purchasing a design/character from me, such as Annies, you are buying partial rights to a specific character design belonging to my Closed Species.

The official design artwork is still my copyright/intellectual property. I have the rights to use the design, its original artwork form for promoting myself and my artwork. Example: Posting it on social media, making and selling tangible items featuring the original design or produce artwork with the original design included for things such as prints, events and artbooks.

♣ You may give the design a name, story, Alternative Universe to live in, etc, for personal use. ♣ You may alter the design, such as giving it new clothes, hair styles, gender, body type, skin colour etc. but you may NOT change the features that characterise my species. ♣ Even if you alter the design, the original design will always exist. ♣ You may not use Annies name commercially. ♣ You may trade the design away for other designs. ♣ You may sell the design for equal to or less than what you originally paid. ♣ You are not allowed to make a profit off of the design. ♣ For selling and trading, you must always notify Yamio who the new owner is, to prevent fraud. ♣ Co-owning a design is allowed, if both parters have an agreement. ♣ The first time you use your design (such as in an artwork) you must credit Yamio for the species. ♣ Credit for the species further on is recommended to prevent confusion, but is not required. ♣ The design may be used in events, books and other merch without interference of your ownership.

I retain partial rights over every Annie I sell, and therefore I have the right to ban a person/redistribute ownership over a design if they are blatantly breaking my Terms of Service and therefore terminating their rights to the species. This includes, but is not limited to;

♣ Selling/offering/auctioning and/or buying an Annie for more than its original purchase price/value. ♣ Harassing other members of the Annie community. ♣ Scamming/theft of Annies. ♣ Unacceptable/rude behaviour towards partner(s) in a co-ownership of an Annie. ♣ Filing a refund/chargeback (results in a reclaim of the designs from the user to make up for lost monetary damages. The buyer is then forbidden from using the reclaimed Annie(s), and further use will be considered character theft and copyright infringement) ♣ Failing to pay me/someone else for an Annie in either an auction or a trade/sale.

DISCLAIMER

If you, the purchaser, have not read the ToS thoroughly, I am not to be held responsible for your own misconception. This is a closed species, not an original species. Closed species means only I, Yamio, or people I give written permission to, are allowed to create an Annie. I cannot be held responsible if you sell/trade an Annie away, and suffer chargeback or fraud from a third party. However, you have the right to ask for help to spread this information. I do not put copyright on animal/plant features for others to use, however I do put copyright on the designs I create, the specified lore and the specific details that makes up the species as a whole, and they are not to be reproduced in any way. Creating a design that have features alike to my species does not mean that said character/design belongs to Annies, Yamio´s species. Intentional heavy referencing of designs is not allowed and you will be asked to alter a design to make it less alike if it occurs.
