BELLLs Terms of Service

Please take the time to read these simple rules whenever you can, especially when you first obtain your Lucid Bell. This is to help prevent any issues you may have in the future. If you have broken any of these terms, they will result in punishment either stated or the staff deems is appropriate regardless if you have or haven’t become familiar with these terms.

Lucid Bells closed species by PiickOne. This means that you are not permitted to make your own without an MYO Ticket. If you'd like to obtain a BELLL, you may purchase them through adoptables (OTAs, BTAs, NYPs, Flat Sales, etc.), enter raffles or giveaways, or purchase a MYO Ticket. Please do not create any Lucid Bells outside of the community, if you do it will not be considered an "official" design for the species and will be excluded from the community. I, PiickOne, do not mind if you make personal BELLLs, but please refrain from uploading or sharing them if they are not an official design.

I. Acceptable Payment Methods

When acquiring Lucid Bells, we offer various payment options to cater to your preferences. Any differences in payment options such as vouching, item exchanges, gift cards, etc is completely up to the vendor. You can purchase Lucid Bells using the following methods (but not limited to):

Real Currency: We accept payments in real currency, providing a straightforward payment option for those who prefer direct financial transactions. Some examples: Paypal, Cashapp, Venmo, etc.
BELLL Tokens/Tickets: You can also obtain Lucid Bells using BELLL Tokens/Tickets, our community's official currency. This offers an alternative way to acquire these unique creatures.
Virtual Currencies: In addition, we welcome virtual currencies such as DA Points, Amino Coins, and similar options. This flexibility allows you to use digital resources you may have accumulated in other online communities.

Split Payments

For your convenience, we permit split payments, which means you can make partial payments using different methods, such as a combination of real currency and virtual currency (e.g., Half Money/Half Points). However, it's essential to obtain prior approval from the creator of the specific Lucid Bell you wish to acquire. This ensures a smooth and mutually agreeable transaction.

Payment Completion

To maintain fairness and efficiency within our community, we kindly request that all payments, including payments for artwork and trading, be completed within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 20-30 days. Unless otherwise specified by the vendor, this guideline ensures that transactions proceed smoothly.

Regular Payment Updates

We encourage open and regular communication with the vendor throughout the payment process. Providing updates on your progress fosters transparency and helps build trust within our community. Keeping the vendor informed of your payment status ensures a positive and cooperative transaction experience.

We appreciate your commitment to our Lucid Bellcommunity and hope these payment methods and guidelines enhance your overall experience. If you have any questions or require further assistance regarding payments or other matters, please don't hesitate to reach out to our community support for guidance. Thank you for being a valued member of our vibrant community!
