TOS and Rules
By purchasing a particular design of any of the intellectual property I own you automatically agree to the following conditions. Please read this entirely and carefully. If you have any questions you can leave me a comment or note on dA!
Adoptables
-Adoptables are purchased designs which you can use to make your own character. You may name the character, create a personality and background information for the character as well as make minor design changes. However you may not edit/alter the original art for the design, the world, or guidelines of the species you have purchased in any way.
- Alterations to the design are allowed with approval by me or a mod. However, these alterations cannot be made to the original art and are limited to minor details so that the character still maintains the main features of the adopt. (only minor edits are allowed. drastic changes such as large hue shifts or large marking changes are not allowed)
-Co-owning is not allowed. Only one person may register a Woolyne
-The design must be credited to me the first time it is used. The original art for the design must be credited to me the every time it's used. You may not claim responsibility for the design.
-Please link any new owners here you ever plan to sell/trade to so that the new owner knows what to do in the future.
-When you trade or sell the design, you must let the Woolyne Group know. This is to prevent people from being scammed. You also may not sell the design for more than you paid for initially. You can trade your Woolyne for material goods.
