The only exception to this rule is in the case that the design must be uploaded to a preexisting MYO slot provided by the commissioner (such is the case for Lockettes, Dextroluma, Dexette and Kipitin), then the buyer must upload the design to the slot themselves with the proper credits to my Toyhouse account (PuffinDoodle)
