Posted 2 years, 2 months ago by Angelos

Wanted to just post this somewhere I could link don't mind me~ Copy paste from my global design terms below

==CHECK THE LAST UPDATED DATE FOR CHANGES== 

last updated: January 21 2022
big overhaul
biggest changes I'm going to allow resales for up to original price by default and also loosening redesign rules

====

By acquiring designs from me you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to my terms below. You are buying partial rights to the design and to have a design part of my species if applicable. At no point do I lose status as the creator of the original design nor my rights to display the original design/artwork freely as I please. If the design is of a original species the species owner's terms also apply with higher priority than my own.
Exceptions/changes to certain terms may be made on an individual design by design basis and will be noted down as such. 

You = Owner = Buyer
I/Me/My/Myself.etc. = Angelos || Ange-ll-os @ deviantART || Angelos @ toyhou.se || skywisher / starlitreverie @ tumblr || Angelos @ InkBlot

1.  Owner obtains permissions to display and use any artwork I create of their design for personal uses provided that visible written credit is given [preferably in the form of a link] but all rights will always solely belong to myself. Commerical use of my art is forbidden!  

2. Resale of the design is allowed up to the original purchase price ONLYDesigns that were not originally bought may not be sold. *MYOs have different rules see below 

3. Design may be traded and gifted freely.

4.  Owner is allowed to edit the design as they see fit [and claim ownership of their redesign] as long as the following criteria are met:
 i) I am still credited for the original design
ii) original species always have that form bound to them, you may make alt forms but the species form stays together with any/all alt forms

5.  Owner may use their design for both personal and commercial* uses freely provided that:
i) I am credited as the creator of the design [and species if applicable]
ii) you do not under any circumstances claim you created the original design 
iii) designs are not used in any way that: promotes bullying, hatred or dscrimination against a person or group, explicit adult material [R18/NSFW], crypto/non-fungibe tokens, or illegal activities 
*approved commercial uses:
- prints, stickers, charms, and other sort of physical artist merch
- model for monetized streaming
- contact to inquire about other commerical uses for approval

6. If the design changes owners you MUST show them these terms beforehand as they will be bound by these terms by gaining ownership of one of my designs. Any owner of my designs are bound by these terms regardless of whether they acquired directly from me or through someone else who already owned it beforehand. I AM TO BE NOTIFIED OF OWNERSHIP CHANGES by either the previous owner or the new owner so I know who owns what. 

7.  Failure to abide by these terms will result in a warning. At most two warnings will be given before you receive a notice that you are banned  from future ownership of designs by me as well as participation in original species I own [including open species]. Original species designs of banned owners may either be transferred to a new owner as is  or delisted from the species and kept. Flipping designs for profit selling over-price, commercial use of my art, filing a chargeback, or use in non-fungible tokens is a INSTANT BAN.

8.  I have the right to decline selling/trading/giving any of my designs to you as well as the right to ban you from future owning any of my  designs/designs of my original species without being obligated to disclose reasons. 

9. I do not do refunds, do not buy if you do not have the funds to do so. You may resell the design, but I am not obligated to buy it back.

10. You must clearly state you have read these terms when attempting to buy from me. I am not required to remind you nor am I obligated to consider your offer and can skip over your comment/message at my discretion.

== Extra MYO [make your own] specific terms ==

MYO = a design created by you of an original species owned by me 

You are obtaining the permission to create a SINGLE DESIGN of an original species owned by me each time you obtain a MYO slot. Rights and ownership to my species as a whole will ALWAYS solely belong to me. For open species you are able to obtain MYO slots free of charge. 

1. All designs regardless if species is open or closed are to be run by and approved by me before they become official. A list will be compiled to keep track of such designs in the future when needed. 

2. Slots may be sold for the original price ONLY. Finished MYO designs may be sold for the original price of the slot or UP TO MAX $50 USD more than the slot to make up for extra art value. If selling a MYO design above slot price you must let the buyer know you are doing so and that they are specifically paying for extra art on top of the design.
$50 is a hard cap, it doesn't matter if you have $100 worth of commissioned art.

3. Slots or finished MYO designs may be gifted or traded freely. 

4. Designs may be edited but must always conform to guidelines set for that species. You must get edits approved by me before they become official. 

5. I have the right to deny you MYO slots without need to disclose my reasons.

◇  Congrats on reading this far! As a little thank you use this code to get 10% off commissions from me when you commission art of one of my  designs/a character that is one of my original species!
