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.

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.

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.
