Rules
We have added a new section under the "Sales and Breeding Rules" section of the TOS...
"- fulfill all agreements (such as art) with another user within one month unless agreed to by the other user"
What does this mean? This protects the customer from never-completed art commissions or empty promises, ensuring that your money won't be tied up forever with slow art, auctions that go on forever, etc.
If a commission (or anything, rather) isn't completed within one month, the paying user has the right to request a refund. This is, of course, only if the paying user wants one - they might be willing to wait. If so, it is best to record those agreements via PM (EG: both users agree to a three month deadline, for example).
This also puts the max amount of time a "no end date" auction can go on to 1 month. A seller can set a longer auction if they want, but that longer end date must be on the thread at its start so all bids are made with that knowledge.
This rule becomes enforced if another user refuses the refund despite the month point having elapsed, or refuses to complete an auction that had no specified end date. In that case, contact a moderator to handle the situation.
Always remember that the most important and binding thing is to have both parties agree to particular terms of sale.

Thank you for this. It's a nice rule to have. I could have used it a couple of times in the past XD

Nice! I remember an auction a while back that went on forever and then when someone asked for a refund they were told No.
Good rule!

Pretty good rule, but I wonder about Springdragon's question too.

Good rule for some. This is the reason why I tell my customers "Do Not Send Money Before Your Art Is Complete."
So this it a good one, But I'm still going to tell my customers that.

If Aywas wants to apply a one month rule to breedings, it should strive to maintain the same standards in it's dealings with users. Help Frey out!
