A little ramble about adoptable etiquette
11 years ago
General
Today I stumbled across a seller's terms of service that including something that said if you don't credit their species/design every single time it's drawn then they will take it back without refunding.
I love getting new designs and supporting other artists, but every now and then I come across things such as this that just appal me. I just sit back and wonder how people who make up things like this think it's okay. You know, expecting others to abide to a ridiculous and unfair TOS. Last year I came across someone on deviantart who still has in their TOS that they can take a design back (with no refund) if you're banned or 'inactive' (no activity for 8 weeks), despite being confronted about it.
I can't be the only person that doesn't think these things are okay, right?

I like to look at these things properly and I will just never buy from people who make these kinds of terms.
...but over inactivity or crediting? No, that's just begging whatever fanbase you have to hate you, and possibly even harass you by breaking your rules out of rebellion! D:
But yeah, those other reasons, like credit me forever or I'll take it back, or I'm taking it back if you ever seem inactive or get banned, and no refunds? Never reasonable, or rational for that matter. :/
