[F2U HTML] Rain World's Ownership

The following is the complete "Character Terms of Use" section from my Terms of Use and Service. Please visit that link if you are looking for other terms regarding my artwork or commission process specifically.

StormyStarlight is referred to as both StormyStarlight and the Artist. She is referred to in the third person and uses she/her pronouns.

If multiple sets of terms apply to a character (e.g. a character was created by the Artist but is part of a closed species), stricter rules should be favored over their more lax counterparts.

Usage

1. All characters created by the Artist belong fully to their respective owners from the moment all payment (if any) agreed upon is sent/completed. The Artist does not retain any rights to the character after this time but must still be credited.
   1. The Artist still reserves the rights to all artwork she makes. The Artist is always allowed to post, display, and/or modify her own artwork. She will not do so in an attempt to lay claim to intellectual properties within said artwork that do not belong to her.
2. All characters created by the Artist, but that are not owned by her, are for personal use only by default. The Artist is open to allowing commercial usage if and only if it's discussed beforehand.
   1. An aditional payment may or may not be requested for a commercial license. Please note that this has not yet happened and the Artist does not have much knowledge of this area of copyright law (please be patient!).
   2. See Artwork Terms of Use: Usage [2] for information regarding the commercial usage of artwork created by the Artist.
3. Characters created by the Artist may be sold or traded in any way regardless of how the people doing so obtained them so long as it is fair and they are not attempting to make a profit off of her work.
   1. The Artist generally does not regulate or care about how much her characters are sold for as long as prices are not being unreasonably inflated with the intention of making a profit (e.g. buying a character for $10.00 and later selling it for $30.00 without any changes/new art). Prices generally shouldn't increase without new tangible content.
4. Characters created by the Artist are able to be redesigned/have their designs modified to any extent.
   1. However: The Artist asks that should a character she created be redesigned so drastically their design is no longer recognizable, their owner is to separate the old and new designs into two different characters. They may transfer all the character's information (e.g. name, personality, story, writing) to the new design and do what they wish with the old one (e.g. retire it as a separate character, use it for something else, sell or trade it). Should this be done, the Artist does not need to be credited in any manner for the new design.
   2. Credit is still required for characters initially created by the Artist whose redesigns are within the recognizable range and are regarded as the same character as their previous design. See Character Terms of Use: Crediting for more information on this.

Crediting

1. Credit for the designs of characters created by the Artist must always be present on any character profiles made for them (e.g. Toyhou.se characters, Amino Wiki Entries) and in the credits of large projects (e.g. long-form video series or comics). Credit for the designs of characters created by the Artist does not need to be elsewhere (e.g. drawings of the character) unless asked. Proper credit is defined as:
   1. Toyhou.se
      1. Characters: Onsite creator credit to the account StormyStarlight. If the Artist did not create the character but redesigned them: Onsite designer credit to the account StormyStarlight.
      2. Other: A functioning mention of the account StormyStarlight.
   2. Instagram: A functioning mention of the account stormy.starlight.
   3. Buzzly.art: A functioning mention of the account StormyStarlight.
   4. deviantART: A functioning mention of the account StormyStarlight.
   5. Amino: A functioning link to the Wings of Fire Amino account »—stormystarlight—➢.
   6. Art Fight: A functioning mention of the account StormyStarlight.
   7. Discord: If the account stormy#7242 is present in the server, a functioning mention of that account. If not, a functioning link to the Artist's Carrd or a relevant account of hers.
   8. Elsewhere: A functioning link to the Artist's Carrd or relevant account of hers.
2. If a character created by the Artist has been redesigned and is still regarded as the same character as its previous design, the Artist is still required to be credited as the initial creator. People who have redesigned the character should also be credited alongside her for the redesigns specifically, though (e.g. "initially created by StormyStarlight; redesigned by @username"). On Toyhou.se, the onsite account StormyStarlight should be credited as the creator of the character and any people who have redesigned the characters as designers.
