Myo slots, How do I get one and what are the rules?
Myo slots are $45 or 
4,500 Sand Dollars
Though MYO purchases with USD are temporarily close, you can purchase them with [Sand Dollars Here]
Once a slot is purchased either by USD or SD, the slot will be awarded to your account!
Myo slots are Non-Refundable once purchased, however, they can be traded or sold for their same purchased value!
This must be done onsite so we can keep track of ownership! Offsite transfers will not be monitored!
Masterlist image guidelines
ML images must show a clear depiction of both the design and traits on the character in question, either visually or through written note on the image itself. The image must include a minimum of 1 fullbody of the design to be accepted. No shading is encouraged, but can be included, as long as the design can still be distinguished from the shading. Images should not exceed over 2000x2000 pixels/2MB to help with site efficiency, any bigger and the site will give an error when uploading. ML images must have either a transparent background, or a flat color/simple pattern background. Complex BGs or images as BGs will be sent back during the approval process.
How to Submit a Missing Waterdog to The Website Masterlist
We would love to help you upload a missing waterdog to our website! You would need to submit a report here: [SUBMIT REPORT] and please have proofs such as a Toyhou.se profile with valid ownership logs or links with confirmations from previous owners on our old DeviantArt master list! We understand that some Waterdogs may be very old and might be missing entirely, if screenshots must be used then you are free to do so, we prefer links though if you can provide them!
Waterdog myo designs can NOT be commissioned by other users.
To be clear: YOU CAN trade art, Sand Dollars, or characters for someone to design a myo for you. (or gift!)
However, you CANNOT buy items for a design or pay the designer in any way that involves real money. Regarding "offbrand"/similar species designs
You are FREE to make any similar waterbodied characters into Waterdogs!
Waterdogs ARE allowed to have forms in multiple different species, however, these forms MUST comply with the species they're coming from's rule as well as have the designer's permission (if not you) to use.
Permission can exist is explicit permission or in their TOS. This does not apply to designers who are inactive, who we will allow their designs into the species so long as there's nothing explicitly against using their designs in closed species in any of their existing TOS.
Displaying Unofficial Waterdog Concepts Before Submission
We love that our community has planned concepts and we encourage you to plan out your dream waterdog design! We ask that concept designs be left private/shared privately until pending approval to avoid confusion by other community members and staff if your concept is official or not. This is to avoid confusion if your concept may be an off-brand seller design or something risky! Changing and Updating Your Waterdog
Recognizable changes can be made to designs! We encourage you to make it yours to love all the more! Small alterations such as minor color changes, markings, and additional accessories, are okay.
Larger changes such as complete overhauls to the design or using Legendary Treat or Rare trait upgrades can be obtained through the Sand Shop, Archies Emporium, or the Sea Breeze Salon! Twin or Clone designs are not allowed!
All designs must be recognizable from one another, the reason why for this is there is no guarantee twin designs will stay together regardless of how we go about it. In the event of these designs being separated, we do not want any future owners to be upset if they didn't know of the other's existence as these are some issues we've experienced in the past and do not wish for others to be subjected to this same experience.
Sibling designs are allowed, however, we highly encourage anyone planning to make any designs that may fall into this category please message a staff member first to double-check that the designs will pass independently before purchasing any MYO slots, Tidals, or Customs. Members should not get involved if they see someone breaking the rules!
Mistakes can happen!
Before handling something yourself, please send a report to the website by clicking [Here] and let us know what happened! Please provide links and screenshots so we can handle the situation, the last thing we would like is for issues to arise over something that may be nothing!
Co-owning
A main owner must be established
By default, this is established by whoever obtained the Waterdog first or paid the majority of contributing to the ownership or just by deciding who is the main owner! You can even co-own for free if you'd like, this is up to the main owner! Even if the waterdog was paid equally it must be established who the main owner is.
Whoever is established as the main owner will take responsibility for ownership and dictate how the waterdog is presented and used in the community, and if the co-owner is allowed to trade/sell their portion off.
You cannot sell, voucher, or trade your co-own part unless it has been okayed by the main owner
When Vouchering or Reselling a co-owned waterdog, Both sides cannot voucher the full original price whether you are the main owner or the co-owner. The rule of thumb here is if you didn't contribute, you don't get to receive benefits. What you paid into the ownership is all you can resell or voucher for.
You cannot claim back a co-own without refunding/returning what was traded for the co-own
In the event that either side is trying to cut off ownership for any reason, compensation must be provided. That must be worked out between both owners and there is no way around that.If either co-owner is inactive, they still retain rights to their part of the ownership
This is, unfortunately, part of the risk of participating in co-ownerships with people who you may not fully know or are close with, we heavily advise you to pick your co-ownerships carefully! We will not force ownership out of anyone if they've contributed to the ownership. If there are issues, please feel free to contact the species owner!
