> Do not trace, edit, or use my designs as bases. Do not duplicate my designs or sell designs with only slight variations. This includes making them into a closed or open species.
    -  Color palettes and design elements are in no way my sole intellectual property, but be respectful and avoid copying a design wholesale.

> Commercial use rights of my characters and art ARE NOT INCLUDED. They must be bought or negotiated for separately.

> Do not delete my characters off Toyhou.se without my approval. You may post them on other sites (e.g. Refsheet.com) with clear credit a and link to one of my social accounts.

> You may resell/retrade (interchangeably) this character UNLESS you acquired them for free, in which case they must get at least one (1) MQ-HQ artwork, writing piece, or other creation attached to their account before going back on the market. This is not a very restrictive rule; "MQ-HQ" means, in my mind, that you did not scribble for five minutes and then attempt to resell.
    -  I do count art trades as adding worth to a character. As long as you did not steal/scam/flake out on your side of the trade, you have worked for the piece of art and it is valued as such UNLESS the creator of the art itself does not consent to this.

> You may not sell my adopts for bitcoin, make them into an NFT/tokenize them, or involve them in anything related to cryptocurrencies. I'm happy to discuss my reasons in a mature way, but this is a hard rule.

> If you would like me to change the tradeability settings, PM and we can discuss. Most often, the settings simply reflect whether they were sold, traded, or used in a forum game, and I am happy to change them.

> The character's gender, age, and design are completely yours to change once you have the adopt. HOWEVER, you may not make them a tr*p, f*mboy, l*li, sh*ta, or in any way derogatory or offensive.
These terms are related to pedophilia and/or frequently used as slurs against the trans community. 

> Any homo/trans/ace/etc.-phobic terms are prohibited, and users who use them to formally refer to the adopts (e.g. not as part of backstory/not discussed as the serious issues they are) are not permitted to own, use, or sell these adopts. This also applies to racist slurs and language.
You may use them/give them backstories where they deal with these topics; do it with respect and be sure to use trigger warnings if you want to pursue this.

> If you draw, write, or otherwise depict NSFW of this character, they must be CLEARLY STATED and clearly drawn to be 18+ (or the age that is considered a legal adult in your country, IF it is higher.)
    -  Nonsexual nudity/figure studies/reference sheets do not fall under this. Use your best judgement.

> Do not attempt to add rules to this adopt if you resell/trade/etc. You may add rules to any art that you personally create (commercial use/edits/etc.) but the original design is bound only by this T.O.S. specifically. 

Violators will be blocked & reported. I ask that you please let me know if any of these rules are broken.
