🌱  Hello! This is the Official Insectoplant Terms of Service 🌱
---
Please read through this page thoroughly so you can understand your rights as a member. Upon purchasing or obtaining an Insectoplant, you agree to these terms of usage and service. Certain situational disputes apply, as well.
INCLUDES TOS, COMMERCIAL USE, AND BLACKLISTED USERS.
- Commercial use of designs you own is allowed, but permission from the designer is needed. Permission from the artist, if different, also needs permission if you plan on using artwork that isn't yours for said commercial use. This means you can create things like stickers/plushies/keychains/prints/etc of your Insectoplants. If you are the original designer/creator, no permission is needed.
Â
- You may not create an Insectoplant without a MYO (Make your Own) slot or other provided permission from Staff. Insectoplants are a Closed Species, meaning they are only available through pre-determined means.
Â
- When creating your Insectoplant you must follow species guidelines and be approved by a member of staff.
Â
- All Insectoplants must have an entry in the Lorekeeper Masterlist with accurate information regarding ownership and designer credit. Please do not trade the design without first trading on-site.
Â
- Once an Insectoplant is obtained, they are free to use in any story or off-world. You may also make other versions of your character, such as a Non-Insectoplant version or Alternative versions in other species. Alternative versions Must be sold/traded TOGETHER.
Alternative versions are encouraged to be added on the traitlist.
Â
- Please do not create, sell, or purchase unofficial Insectoplants. Offbrands for our species do Not exist, so you will never get in trouble for this involving anthro bugs. The only way we mean by this is if our name is attached to it.
Â
- If blacklisted, while you are allowed to keep and use your current insectoplant characters , you will be locked out of participating in our group any further. This includes events, prompts, and collecting more insectoplants.
Â
View our Offbrand and Voiding rule sheet here:
Â
- You may void any Insectoplant as long as you have permission from the original designer. You don't need to change anything about the original design unless you want to, all we ask is that you don't call it an Insectoplant after it's voided.
Â
- You must be 13+ to participate in any group activities including but not limited to; events, raffles, adoptables, joining our discord, and participating in drawing/writing prompts.
Â
- All content posted and/or present in this group must be kept PG-13. Â Including but not limited to; Suggestive content, heavy gore, inappropriate topics, politics, or illegal drug use. The staff has a right to take down any content we deem as Non. PG-13
Â
- Our staff has a right to ban or kick you from our group/community.
Â
- Our staff has a right to decline you service/decline you purchase of our work.
Â
- Do not explicitly incite drama, harass/solicit/stalk other users, or use our community as a place to express spite or hate.
Â
- Insectoplants can be traded for anything, and there is no limit on what you may search for. (eg. Resale + Art is fine.)
Â
- Insectoplants cannot be sold for more than their current value! Insectoplants are valued based on their original price and any additional costs, such as the cost of art or shop items that have been spent on the character. Art that has been given to you for free does not count.
Â
- You may get your Personal artwork added to the worth of your Insectoplant only after being successfully appraised by a member of our Staff. All you need to do is send us proof of worth and with our approval it will be successfully be added to your Insectoplant's total worth. You may not add it without appraisal, as inflation of worth can occur.
Â
- You may voucher your Insectoplant for their current worth + an additional $50. The money for a voucher may Not touch your hands.
Â
- Your Insectoplant Must be on the Masterlist before they are eligible to be traded/sold/gifted. For more information on how to upload characters onsite please read our MYO Guide. Designs created by Staff or Guest artists are automatically uploaded to the Masterlist, but some slip through the cracks. Please do not be afraid to let us know if we missed something.
