♡ Art Commissions ♡

When buying an Art Commission from me you are agreeing that you are buying artwork from me.

You will get permission to use the artwork, however you cannot reproduce, resell, trace or claim the artwork as your own.

This is a digital product, there will be no physical shipping unless stated otherwise. You will only receive digital files.

*You cannot sell my work as prints, use it as a base for a commission, use it for monetary gain or claim it as your own.*

**You can use the art to increase the price of a character, IF YOU PAID FOR THE ARTWORK AND IF YOU OWN THE CHARACTER.**

♡ Adoptables ♡

When buying an Adoptable from me you are agreeing that you are buying the character rights from me. Not the design rights.

You will get permission to use the CHARACTER, however you cannot reproduce, trace or claim the design or artwork as your own.

This is a digital product, there will be no physical shipping unless stated otherwise. You will only receive digital files.

*You can increase the price of the character, IF YOU PAID FOR EXTRA ART. *

**This above rule means specifically do not under ANY circumstance sell the character for more than it is worth / was bought for unless there is extra art.**

***You can alter the character however you like, but not my actual design itself. You cannot claim the design as your own.***

****If the character you are buying is a Closed Species, you are not buying rights to the actual species itself, only rights to the character.****

*****If you want to make my design, be it a pre-existing Closed Species or generic design, into a Custom Species of your own, you MUST talk to me first. There will be a fee.*****

******Little added tidbit; You are completely fine to resell a character of mine you got from trading,

Ignoring or breaking these terms will automatically get you blacklisted. You will not have the right to use the thing in question.

I use Design and Character as two separate entities as to not cause confusion. The Character is the Adoptable, and the Design is the Artwork / Design.

When you buy an adoptable, you are buying the Character and the design in a way belongs to you, but you are not buying the rights to claim the design as your own.

Think similar to when you buy a bag, it is yours. You do own it. HOWEVER, you did not create it or design it, you cannot claim the design as yours just because you dye it pink.
