Frequently Asked Questions | FAQ

May I share a P2U/D2U base with a friend?

  • no. each person who uses the base should pay for it. you are allowed to pay for someone else, as a gift, but it's still 1x base price = 1 person.
  • nor are you allowed to 'split' the money between friends and all use the bases, this again breaches the 1 person = 1x base price.

My Ko-Fi membership ended, what now?

  • you may continue to use the bases you've already gotten the files for during your membership!
  • you may only use these bases for personal use and adopts, you may only sell YCHs on D2U bases when you have a running membership.
  • you may not request D2U base files after your membership ended, not even if those bases were released during your membership or if you used to own the files but lost them.

I found someone violating your ToS, what should I do?

  • please do not engage! if you see a person breaking my rules (e.g. selling paid YCHs on a F2U) do not approach them, but me instead. just tell me what and who it's about, providing any proof if possible, and I'll deal with it.
  • if I discover anyone breaking my ToS, I will contact them to clear up any possible misunderstandings. otherwise I'll likely block them where possible to restrict their access to my work.
