Early Access Kittom Slots INFO

 Make sure to read all of the information if you're thinking about purchasing one of the babies coming up! The rules are a little bit different this time around!

Please remember that early access only applies if you were already charged on August 1st.

• Date/Time of Sale: Wednesday, August 30th, 4:00pm PST.
• How it will work: I will make another post here on Patreon tomorrow for people to claim a spot for a kittom. (Please see a little further down for more details!)
• Payment plans: No payment plans. 
• Because the premade kittom sales and the breeding/custom slot sales are in different pledge tiers, I will not exclude people from potentially winning "commission tier" slots if they win something from the premade sales. 

The following rules are to ensure that things remain fair:

• Claiming: This time around you aren't claiming a specific kittom, you're entering for a spot to claim one at a later date. For wip previews of the current sets up for offer see: [x] [x] [x] The date you'll be picking your kittom will depend on when I'm able to show the finished breeding sets to the parents and they've told me who they're keeping. Estimating the choosing to take place during the second week of September right abouts (since I'm taking the first week off for a short rest).
• I'm doing the sale this way for a few reasons: 1) Because it's a "raffle" sale, people won't necessarily be getting their first choice, so drawing the slots first and then reaching out to people one at a time to present their options seems less hectic than having to try and get everyone to make their choices all at once. 2) Because I'm not quite ready to sell the kittoms individually but I very much wanted to make sure that you guys had a nice bonus for pledging this month!
• How the raffle will work: At 4pm I'll make a post here on Patreon for the raffle. There will be a 5 minute window for people to comment on that post that they'd like to enter. After 5 minutes, I will draw 10 names. When the kittoms are ready to be sold, I will go down the list of 10 names (in the order they were drawn) to present each person with the list of available kittoms and their prices. They can choose to purchase any single kit, or let me know that they'd like to forfeit their slot if there aren't any kittoms that they'd like to buy- in which case I'd go to the next winner, and when I got the the end I would draw another name from the earlier comments.
• Proxy claims: You may only claim a spot in the raffle for yourself -unless- you are claiming for someone who also has access to the appropriate reward tier. Keep in mind that if you're claiming for someone else, it counts as your slot, so you will not be able to enter the raffle for yourself as well as another person.
• Trade/Selling cooldown: In order to prevent any bypassing of pledge requirements to patron-only sales, all early access purchases incur a selling/trading cooldown period of one month. That means any design obtained through early access cannot be sold or traded immediately after purchase.

Regarding the kittoms: 

• The kits DO NOT grow up on their own, but can be grown at a later date via purchased slots (which can be paid for via group currency (EC) or USD (through paypal) whenever the slots become available.

I've written these rules trying to focus on keeping things as fair as possible, and to protect everyone's pledge investments. If anything comes up that appears problematic, it can and will be adjusted for future sales. Let me know if I missed anything, if anything was unclear, or if you have any thoughts/suggestions about adjustments to the rules!

Thank you!
