2023 Adoptable Rules

Last Updated: May 26, 2023

These terms apply ONLY to adopts sold after the date above. Failure to follow these rules will result in a ban for future adopt sales and commissions.

General Rules

  • Buyers may not be anonymous. This includes purchasers past the original sale.
  • Buyers are not required to use ToyHou.se (TH), but all adopts will be posted onto my ToyHou.se before sale. If a buyer has a TH account, the adopt will be transferred to them after purchase. I can try to source a TH code for a buyer, if they need/want one.
  • All sales will be done through PayPal. Buyers email is REQUIRED so an invoice can be sent.
  • Buyers may change an adopt’s sex and/or gender.
  • Posting the original adopt art requires a link back to me.
  • Buyers may change or add an anthro or feral form to the character, if they do not have one.
  • Buyers MAY NOT edit the original art, unless I have given written permission, via email, otherwise. All edits of the original art should be done by me. Failure to follow this rule will result in the buyer being banned from future adopt sales.
  • Adoptable Characters may not be used in hateful content. This includes homophobic, racist, sexist, and ableist content. Breaking this rule will ban a buyer from all future sales.

Re-Selling Rules

  • Re-sold adopts must follow my adopt rules. Potential buyers should have this page linked to them. If a buyer has not seen these, the original buyer will be banned from future adopt sales and commissions.
  • Buyers must contact me before posting adopts for sale. I may be able to buy them back, but I will, at least, help promote your sale.
  • Buyers may not re-sell adopts for more than originally paid for, unless art or writing has been added to the character.
  • Re-sold adopts need their information passed along to me, so I can update information. Additionally, if the new buyer does not have a TH account, they should be passed back to me, and I will hold their character page until the current owner has an account or re-sales the adopt.
  • Adopts that are traded or gifted to other users are SUBJECT TO THESE RULES AS WELL.

How to Buy

  • Buyers should EMAIL me at delphin.arts@gmail.com. I will not accept contact via any method other than email for adoptable sales.
  • Email text should include a link to the adoptable you want, your name on FurAffinity/Toyhou.se, etc, and your PayPal email, even if it is the same as the one you are emailing me from.
  • I will send an invoice to the provided PayPal email.
  • Buyers have 72 hours to respond to invoices. After this, the adopt will go back up for sale, and the prospective buyer may be banned from future adopt sales.
  • Once the invoice is paid, I will email a .zip file to the buyer with the adoptable’s files.
  • Adoptable files will usually include a large, “working size” PNG file at 300 DPI for personal use, and a smaller, watermarked PNG or high quality JPG file at 96 DPI for reposting online. Do not repost the full sized file online! If I see the full size posted online, I will contact the buyer to remove it/replace it with the proper file. Failure to do so will result in a ban from future adopts.
