Terms of Usage
The previous Terms of Usage was a bit clunky since it was trying to encompass too many different types of assets at once, so we've re-written it for greater clarity. Please do not hesitate to contact either Elphie or I if you have any questions.
terms of usage for adoptables
Adoptables refer to the golems that meisters can acquire from either the workshop, or special events such as raffles.
OWNERSHIP
You obtain ownership rights of the golem upon acquisition, but we reserve to right to use them for portfolio purposes. Golem Meister Adoptables will never claim ownership of guest-submitted golems.
RESALE
You are not allowed to re-sell the golem that you have purchased from us as is, but you may sell derivative works created with your golem. Please see the next point for clarification.
REPRODUCTION
You are allowed to create derivative works using the golems that you have acquired and use them for both personal and commercial uses. In other words, creating prints, buttons and so on and selling those is all right, but selling the images we have issued to you as they are is not allowed. Other examples of derivative works include games, stories, comics and so on. We also ask that you reproduce the resources in ways that preserve our integrity as creators; we will not be held responsible if the golem is used in ways that are harmful to other people.
DISTRIBUTION
You may re-distribute the golem that you have purchased as long as it does not involve any amount of money moving from one place to another. Trading your golem for a different adoptable or even releasing it as a Creative Commons asset is all right, as long as no amount is money is involved in the process. We encourage you to release the golem under terms that are similar to ours, but this is not mandatory.
MODIFICATION
You are free to modify the golem you have acquired in ways that preserve its creative integrity. For instance, you can crop, recolour, or alter in any other way the resources in Photoshop, but most people should still be able to recognise the original design. Again, we ask that you modify the resources in ways that preserve our integrity as creators.
ATTRIBUTION
Credit is optional but highly appreciated. However, you must not claim to have created the resources yourself. Golem Meister Adoptables will always attribute guest-submitted golems to their rightful artists.
REFUNDS
We will not accept golems that have been crafted back once the .zip file has been issued, unless stated otherwise.
