Payments and Processing

1. Full payment is required within 48 hours of your claim. You will be allowed a 24 hour extension if needed.
2. There are no refunds on design purchases.
3. Follow the artist's TOS when reselling. [species] does not regulate character resale prices but we do enforce TOS terms, including ones regarding resale and trading. However, we do not enforce revoking terms for any reason other than lack of payment.
4. Sellers reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

Ownership

1. Ownership is transferred upon receipt of full payment and the design becomes irrevocable unless it was acquired through unethical methods.
2. All designs are for non-commercial purposes only unless discussed with the species owner (and the artist if they are a third party).
3. Co-ownership is not regulated. All co-ownerships are unofficial, and the official owner is the one listed on the masterlist.
4. The original designer should always be credited for the design.

Ownership Transfers

1. To transfer to a user, you must fill out the transfer form on either the species forums on Toyhouse, the Discord, or in DMs (if you have access to neither) and submit it. It will be transferred by an admin ASAP.
2. Upon trading, reselling or gifting the design to another individual, the previous owner agrees to transfer all ownership rights to the recipient.

Design Voiding

1. Designs can be voided completely from the species at any time for any reason. Once voided, they can not be reinstated.
2. The voided design will still remain on the masterlist for future reference.
3. A redesign is not required but is appreciated.
4. If the design was created by you: You have full rights to the design and can do whatever you'd like with it.
5. If the design was created by someone else: The design will follow the original designer's TOS.

MYOs

MYO Designs and Approval

1. Please follow the respective species design guides to make sure you create a design that 100% reflects the species.
2. Designs may:
   • Be similar in concept or themes to other designs as long as the final design be visually distinct from any existing designs.
   • Be based on other designs that you own as long as the original designer is aware and gives permission for this. Trades of any MYO designs derived from other designs must be traded with its original design.
   • Be based off of any existing commercial franchise character.
3. Design may not:
   • Be near-identical to any existing commercial franchise character.

   • Be publicly displayed anywhere except the species' discord or toyhouse forums prior to approval.
4. To submit your design, please visit either the forum thread or Discord channel and follow the directions under 'MYO Submission.'

Edits and Redesigns

1. All edits must be based on the original design and be recognizably the same design.
2. Owners may choose to revert designs to any already approved redesign if desired.
3. Major redesigns will require you to update the design's masterlist image. Drastic changes to accessories, colors, markings, etc. will be considered a major redesign.

2. Penalties for minor offenses may include temporary bans from participation in any or all group activities including but not restricted to:
