. BIDDING INSTRUCTIONS .

Please make sure you've read all the information on this page before bidding!

. Auction Method .
♠ We will be accepting bids for three days - from 11.30am PST on the 8th January 2009 to 8pm PST on the 10th January 2009
♠ Please bid on only one of the Hytes - however, if you are outbidded on the Hyte you are bidding on, you may withdraw your bid and bid on the other
♠ There is snipe guard of 10 minutes - a bid made in the last 10 minutes will extend the bidding by another 10 minutes
♠ After consolidation and double-checking, the winning bidders will be announced on the thread and contacted by PM

Quote:
. BIDDING .
Please state clearly which Hyte you are bidding on
♠ Pure Gold is preferred, but Rares, Collectibles and Letters are accepted at 5% below lowest Market Prices
♠ Please do all the math - list the values next to the items and total them up for your bid [we will double-check]
♠ Please mark all bids for the Iriomote Yamaneko in BROWN and all bids for the Sanke Koi in ORANGE
[If the bids are not marked as such, we will presume that you did not read the instructions and will not note your bid]

THINGS TO NOTE

. About Naming .
Allowed: Proper names from any culture | Most nouns | Heck, most words
Disallowed: Chatspeak | l337 [in most cases] | Lame combination handles [e.g. LadiesMan217, number optional]
Discouraged Culture-specific names unsuitable for cultural context of the Hyte | Overtly dubious fandom names

. About Co-ownership .
♠ Co-ownership is not encouraged, but allowed - if bidding as such, note the different owners but do still calculate and state your total
and make sure the payment trade is from one account alone
♠ There is no guarantee we may be able to fit all your names onto the cert!
♠ HyTech is not liable in case of dispute between owners
♠ If the dispute cannot be settled, the Hyte may be rehomed judging on a case-by-case basis

. ABOUT PAYMENT .
♠ Please contact me [LaBlue Belle] with the trade within 24hours of our winning notification
♠ Please title the trade 'Payment for Auction - [insert relevant Hyte here]'
♠ If there is no contact from you after 24 hours, we will give you a grace period of 12 hours to get in touch with us ASAP - if there is still no word, the second-highest bidder will be assigned the Hyte in your stead
♠ Payments for Auctions should be made upfront, but if you are having problems, PM us to work something out. This is highly discouraged, however - you should have what you are bidding with onhand before you place the bid.

. Hyte Collection .
♠ The Hyte will be certed and threaded after we receive your payment
♠ We will then PM you with the cert thread and the cert url
♠ Thereafter, we will PM you after every stage growth with the url of the relevant off-cert graphic
[Remember to keep up your checking-in until your Hyte has matured!]

. TERMS AND CONDITIONS .

Checking-in - While HyTech does not require RP, we do require regular checking-in until the Hyte is fully mature. HyTech will inform owners via PM every time there is a stage progression - thus, checking-in periods are as such:
♠ One cert thread post [or PM] per stage growth
♠ One cert thread post [or PM] every two weeks for non-growth periods
This is only necessary until the pet has reached the adult stage
♠ There is a grace period of a week to make the relevant post
♠ Growth will not commence for the next stage until contact is made
[*RP not necessary - any indication of acknowledgement will suffice] The reason why we require checking in is so we can make sure of contact in time for the outfit customisation of the adult stage. HyTech is usually quite forgiving for up to approximately half a year, but if no contact is forthcoming and everything falls into a state of impending extinction, don't be too surprised if Social Services comes around and decides to rehome one's Hyte…

Return Policy - If the owner tires of the pet, HyTech will accept a return and rehome the pet at reduced prices. As this is a raffle Hyte, we will not offer a refund. While we do not perform exchanges, a previous owner may still purchase other pets in the future.

Speaking in Terms of Reality - While the owner owns the character of the pet and may display the images and certs at will, the art and character design itself is still property of HyTech, and must be credited as such. The artist reserves the right to display or use the artwork and pursue other avenues with the design. All better-sized images are accompanied by a background logo for our image protection - owners may request unmarked versions for the cert threads. Thank you for your understanding!

. CRASH COURSE .

Before you apply for a Hyte, you really should read all the information in our Shop Thread. Just in case, though, here's a crash course to cover the basics and the most important bits you need to know!

. About the Pets .
5-stages [RP +1] with unique lineart for each pet past protoform cylinder
♠ Most Hytes take an average of about 3 months to fully mature [not including RP +1]
♠ All pets are breedable - please refer to Shop Thread for details
♠ Roleplaying is not required, only checking-in till Adult stage - please refer to Terms and Conditions for details

. In-house Example of Growth Progression.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

. About Roleplaying .
Roleplaying is entirely optional
♠ Each pet will come with a cert thread that can be used as an RP journal
♠ RP incentive: extra stage - please refer to Showroom for details
♠ As there is no strict RP storyline, HyTech RP is a casual affair with emphasis on character interaction, particularly among pets.
Through RP, one may be able to influence the final appearance of the Hyte before it reaches the adult stage.

All the same, please do visit the Shop Thread to read up on all the information if you haven't done so!

. FAQ .

A…Japanese animals batch? That's not like you - what's the catch?
None! This is to make up for all those events where we subtly or not so subtly hinted that Japanese names were inappropriate…

Er…about that Japanese…
Oh goodness, pls to correct us right off! My Japanese=good to play dating sim with only…
[Extra note: 'peaceful' for 'heiwa' is a mistranslation for keyword purposes - it is technically the noun 'peace', though can be taken to mean peaceful as a na-adjective.]

…Yamamayaa?

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Yamapikaryaaaa~ 8D

Why are there so little pets for sale?
We do apologise! As all art for all stages past the Protoform Cylinder are unique, 5 pets in total per batch is all that the artist and colourist can handle.

Why not hire more artists and colourists?
As we would like the keep the aesthete of the shop consistent for maximum believability, we are not looking to do that. So sorry for the trouble!

When is the next time I can get one of these?
An RP event and Generation will be happening in the summer.

Why is there a non-Gaia url in the cert?
In the event that the cert cannot be linked back to our shop, such as randomised signatures, a passerby wishing to visit our shop can access the thread through a link on hytech.silentragedy.net [as the actual shop url is too long to fit on the cert]

Why does the timing for the flatsale and auctions overlap like that?
The way our flatsale and auctions are arranged allows you to know before the end of the auction whether or not you have won the flatsale. And similarly, by having the auction overlap for two days, you should already know also if you're going to get outbidded straight away and thus would rather concentrate on the flatsale.

More questions will be added if they are asked!
