Buying a design means that you are adhering to the terms of service for the Esprit community.

We also ask that you please check the artist's terms as well and follow those as they can vary, each guest design may or may not come with an additional set of rules that should be honored if you purchase from them.

---

Resales and Trades

The adopt must be sold for the price purchased unless bought art can be added to the overall value.
Vouchers are allowed, but must equal the value of the original sale, it may include art you have purchased yourself as well.
Gifts are allowed, but gifted designs lose all monetary value and should not be resold or vouchered.
Do not include gifted art, traded art, or base maker art into the value of the design.
All designs should include the original adopt file, even if the design has been edited, as a way to prove authenticity of the adopt.

Ownership

Once traded/sold/vouchered the design is no longer yours, please do not harass the new owner.
Please do not harass owners of adopts you want asking for trades if they have not expressed interest in trading or selling their designs. Adopts are not public property.
Co-owning can be allowed, however I will only acknowledge one owner. The master list should reflect who the sole owner is.

YOU MAY NOT:

 
• Change an original species into another closed species.
 
• Change the species/design parameters of the Esprit closed species.
