OWNERSHIP

Owning a character from any of the species available means owning partial rights to that character design.  You do not hold ownership over the any of the species, and as such, you do not hold full rights to any character you own.

Corceïs will never revoke your ownership of a character, unless you are found to be under the age of 15 and in possession of a species character, or if you chargeback an official artist who you purchased the design from.  In such a case, the designs will be voided, and Corceïs is not required to provide compensation.

If a user is banned from Corceïs while in possession of species characters, the designs will be voided, and will no longer be associated with Corceïs.  Voided designs can never be used on Corceis.com again, but you will retain full personal use rights to the design.  Banned users may no longer obtain unvoided species characters, as they may only be purchased and transferred through Corceis.com.

Users may request to only void characters that they currently own. 

Owning an official, unvoided species character allows a user to:

• Trade, sell, gift, or otherwise transfer the character to any other Corceïs user with an account on Corceis.com.  If you wish to transfer a character to someone without an account, please ask them to make an account first.
• Use or display the character artwork and any artwork depicting the character, with credit to the artist.
• Use the character on Corceis.com and its associated spaces.  This includes engaging in Corceïs gameplay with them, giving them a name and backstory, and creating or commissioning art and writing about them, so long as all such content follows the ToS and all parties involved are 15+.
• Use the character for personal use outside the framework that Corceïs provides.  Corceïs cannot enforce adherence to the ToS in private use, but if you are seen breaking Corceïs ToS with a species character publicly, you may face disciplinary action.
• Edit the character's design using the official channels provided on Corceis.com.  Please read our Newbie Guide for more information.

By owning a design related to any of the available species at Corceis.com, regardless of voided status, users agree to the following:

• Users may not transfer designs to users under the age of 15. .
• Designs may never be used in any way that could be harmful, offensive, or unlawful.
• Designs may never be used in any kind of adult content (porn, etc) if they are feral or depicted as an underage character. Users may ensure that minors do not have access to this kind of content. Users who fail to protect their content from minors will face disciplinary action.

Only one person may attempt to 'claim' on behalf of a specific party during a sale. If you are unavailable, you may elect a single party to claim in your stead, but cannot both attempt to claim yourself and request another person to claim for you as this is unfair to other members.
