Design Terms of Service
You must read and agree to these terms to commission me. If you do not read the terms you are still required to follow them; I will not be responsible for your failure to read them. Please read over these terms every time you commission in case there have been changes!
Payment
- I will only accept commissions paid upfront and through invoices. I do not offer payment plans. You must pay the invoice within 48 hours. I do not offer refunds for adoptables.
- I offer short-term holds; A 30% nonrefundable down-payment is paid first and the remaining balance must be paid within 24 hours. Holds longer than 24h (up to 3 days/72 hours) are a 50% nonrefundable down-payment.
- I will send the un-watermarked file (and toyhou.se transfer if applicable) only after the invoice is paid.

Permissions
- I CURRENTLY DO NOT OFFER TRANSFER OF COMMERCIAL RIGHTS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THAT I CANNOT HELP YOU, DO NOT ASK ME -
RESELLING / TRADING
- You may only resell designs for their original price, or the price of the design + cumulative worth of Additional Artworks (THIS INCLUDES YOUR OWN). Be respectful when doing so and take into consideration any art you commissioned and the artist's terms. Only flatsales (or best offer below the flatsale) are approved - do not auction or OTA designs for a higher value.
- You may trade the design and accept vouchers at your own discretion.
- Making different version/species/gender/etc of a character is acceptable; but ALL versions of the character must be resold or traded together. You cannot keep one version of the character and sell/trade another. You cannot claim full creator rights to different versions, even if it happens to be your own personal species or similar.
EDITING
- You may edit the design itself in any way you choose with new artworks, but you may not claim the edited design as completely your own. Include credit of the original design back to me using any of my official links. Please keep the original design artwork somewhere accessible.
- Do not draw over or trace over my work to edit or remake the design. Do not draw over my artwork to edit in new eyes, accessories, new markings, piercings, or anything of the like. Edits may only be made with completely new artworks.
- YOU MAY NOT TURN ONE-OFF DESIGNS INTO YOUR OWN CLOSED OR OPEN PERSONAL SPECIES TO MAKE MORE BASED ON IT.
- You may create family (siblings/parents/etc) for said character- but similar to alt forms, they must be kept together and not separated/sold separately. Co-ownership is permitted but in the case of toyhou.se they may not have separate profiles on different accounts, they must be on the same profile/in the profile's Tabs section.
OWNERSHIP
- Designs will be posted to toyhou.se by me and transferred if applicable to retain proper credits and ToS inclusion in ownership panels.
- You may co-own designs but I will not get involved in disputes involving co-owned characters.
- You may not personally dictate who and who cannot own one of my designs. Upon no longer owning a character you forfeit all rights to that character. People can freely trade or sell my designs to whomever they desire. SIMILARLY, YOU MAY NOT HAVE A "RETURN TO ME IF NO LONGER WANTED" RULE ON DESIGNS PURCHASED FROM ME. Once sold or traded you no longer have any control over where/who the design goes to. That right is exclusively mine for Blacklisted users.
- Designs are not for commercial use, I do not offer commercial rights at this time.
