aDOPTS terms of Service

By purchasing a design from me, user Holyspacegoat ("the Artist"), you ("the Client", "(s)he/ they") affirm to have read and agree to be legally bound by the following Terms of Service listed below. Failure to abide by the Terms of Service may result in being added to a blacklist and being blocked by the Artist. Please note that these Terms of Service may be subject to change without prior notice. These Terms of Service are in effect as of January 15, 2023.

The following are rules specific to the Artist's adoptable designs:

  1. The Artist will not make edits to any predesigned character for sale.

  2. Payment is expected before the transfer of the character.

  3. The Artist's credit must remain on the original art of the character and the toyhouse page of the character.

  4. The Client, or anyone obtaining one of the Artist's character designs, must not delete the character from toyhouse or hide the character from the Artist. If the character must be hidden for any reason, the Artist must be authorized to see it. (Can be via viewing key link rather than full auth permissions!)

  5. Character designs obtained from the Artist are permitted to be changed slightly as long as the original image isn't altered, and the changes to the design are not major. Changes must be approved by the species owner if it belongs to a closed species.

  6. Character designs purchased from the Artist are not to be resold for more than they were purchased for unless they have commissioned art of them.

  7. Characters created by the Artist that are obtained by raffle, prize, or freebie cannot be traded (only gifted) within the first month of receiving them. After the month is over they may be traded, but still cannot be sold unless they have commissioned art of them.

  8. Characters created by the Artist that are obtained by trade can only be traded and cannot be sold unless they have commissioned art of them.

  9. Character designs obtained from the Artist may not be used to create Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) or sell any part of the commission using blockchain technology or any future similar product.

  10. Character designs obtained from the Artist may not be used for commercial purposes unless an extra fee is paid and proper credit is given to the Artist.

  11. The Client may not resell, trade, or gift a design obtained from the Artist to someone on the Artist's blacklist (linked below). If the Client does resell, trade, or gift a design to someone on the blacklist they may be put on the blacklist themselves.
