TERMS + CONDITIONS + FAQ by Sergle on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Adoptables and Customs

## ► TERMS AND CONDITIONS ◄

Once you buy a design from me, you thereby agree to my terms and conditions! If any of this is unclear you can ask me about it / thinks you're not sure would be OK before buying.

My designs, bases, or other media I've produced cannot be traced, redistributed onto another site / account, copied, resold, or referenced- without specific permission.
Redrawing adopts and selling them yourself still counts as thievery.

Do not harass others who have made offers on my adopts.
This includes: Guilting them, quizzing them, insulting them, or lying to say it's already yours.

ONCE THE CHARACTER IS YOURS:
You can change the design, draw it as you please, use the original art on your profile / in character ref sheets with my permission, generally just treat it like your own.
REFUNDS:
Refunds aren't given for adoptables most of the time, sorry!

If you find yourself not wanting an adoptable, you can give it back to me, use it in an OC trade, or give it as a gift. If you do, PLEASE let me know so I know who the new owner is.
For commissions and customs, if a commission is already finished and you're REALLY unhappy with the art, I can issue a 50% refund. Same goes for commissions that have been started, but not finished.
Full refunds are given if I haven't started already.

WHAT YOU CAN'T DO WITH IT
Re-sell it.
Breed it.
Claim the design to be made solely by you.
Re-post my art of it without permission.

CREDIT:
Please credit me at least one time / on the ref sheet for the character. Crediting me after that will be appreciated, but it isn't totally necessary.

EDITS:
You may make edits to your design or change the species of it as long as the change isn't too drastic. If you're unsure about the change, you can ask me to see if it's cool.
You may also TRADE my designs for different ones, with other people. Just let me know that it's theirs now!

DEAD ACCOUNTS:
If you've been banned or you've simply abandoned dA for quite a long time, I may pass off the design to another person who is currently active.
This does not apply to switching accounts / moving to other websites like tumblr or FA.
If you return (under terms other than ban-evading) you can reclaim it, unless I've already passed ownership to another person.

## ► BLACKLIST ◄

[a list consisting of people who have abused/blatantly disregarded my rules, stolen from me, and are blacklisted from adopts/designs/bases of mine.]
