- - - - - The following rules apply to any adoptable I post, unless otherwise noted: - - - - -

- The character is yours upon receiving full payment via paypal only. I retain rights to the art itself as well as the design. You will receive a larger image without a watermark and anything else described in the descriptions to the adoptables. Please do not upload anything but the watermarked version, this is helpful for both of us!

- You have 24 hours after the end time of the auction to pay (or after the moment your offer is confirmed and my paypal is sent to you, for non-auction sales), or if it's a auction that has ended for $100 or more, you may make two payments within the span of one to two weeks (unless otherwise noted, and unless it's an auto-buy. If you auto-buy, payment is expected within 24 hours regardless of price). If you fail to make the payments in time for ANY reason, what payment you have sent will be refunded and the character will be re-listed, OR sold to the previous highest bidder. Or kept

- The above means that you could still win if the highest bidder is unable to pay in the time given, so if you've placed a bid, but have been outbid, I'd encourage you to hold on to the money until the auction says it's been officially sold, though you're not obligated to.

- Do not bid unless you mean it. Do NOT hide bids, If I find out you are doing so you will be banned from ALL future auctions and adoptable. This should be a given, but I've had people hide comments after placing a bid and I've had people back out last-minute. You don't take your bidding seriously, nor will I.

- When placing a bid, confirm you've read this by saying "I've read the rules and agree to your terms" along with your first bid. If bidding again on the same design.

- If you'd like an avatar made of your new adoptable (cropped from the original image you bid on) for free, just ask! It only takes me a few minutes
- You're free to post your adoptable to your own gallery, of course! Credit as the artist/creator is required.

- You may rp with, rename, or change anything at all that you'd like on your adoptable. Rights to the original design are mine and if you edit the character to the point where it's no longer recognizable as the original, please have the courtesy to give the original design back to me.

- Do not buy my adopts only to resell for a higher price. and first contact ME to find whether or not I would like to buy them back, otherwise I will not sell to you again. I want them to go to good homes, not to be used for profit or to be passed around. If you must resell sell for the original price or lower.

- Do NOT give my adoptables away without making SURE the person receiving it/them has read my rules AS WELL and they have messaged me saying they agree to my rules. This is to prevent my characters from being passed around so much that I have no idea who they belong to anymore.

- ALWAYS tell me if you sell the Adoptable. I keep a list of who owns all of my adopts, so I can keep a eye on them.

- I reserve the right to refuse to ever deal with you again if you bid/ask for one only to ignore my reminders if you've not paid in a timely manner.

- If my TOS is broken, I have the right to take back the art & design, at which point you must delete all submissions made by yourself and never submit art/commissions of them again. Any separate accounts made for them should be deleted or at least cleared of any art of the design. When you have KEPT to my rules, but want to sell back to me, if I have the money/am interested, I will send you the same amount as what I sold it to you for, plus the costs of any commissions purchased of said character. I will expect the artists themselves to tell me how much the commission was, so be sure to remember the galleries of each artist commissioned.

If any of this disagrees with you, then simply don't buy from me.


- - - - - Auction-specific rules: - - - - -
- If you are outbid, please hang on to the amount of money you've bid until the auction is over and auction is marked as PAID for, just in case the high bidder is a troll or back-out bidder.

- If you are the first bidder, bid in response to the comment I leave on the auction submission, it will look something like "Bid here". After that, bid in response to the PREVIOUS HIGHEST BIDDER so that they know they've been outbid, otherwise your bid won't count. Any comments on the art itself may be left as a regular comment, not in response to the bidding stream.

- If you plan on bidding, bid now. Don't wait til near the end of the auction. This isn't eBay; no sniping allowed! The auction may be extended by several hours if I see this happening.

- Obviously... don't argue or change topic in a bidding stream. Preferably, don't converse with the people you're bidding against or say anything that might cause a fight. I don't care if you know the person or not, if you have a history, etc, I won't tolerate ANY bidder being abused or threatened out of an auction.

- I don't want involved in your personal drama or excuses. Anyone not following the rules in this journal will not have exceptions made for them depending on their individual sob stories. I have no way of knowing whether it's true or you're just making it up, so no one will get special treatment.
