COMMERCIAL SITES

Your site is considered "commercial" if you sell or advertise any kind of product or service of some sort with which you already make or intend to make money. Both web sets and collections may be used in commercial sites once you register. If you want to use any of my adoptables in your commercial site, registration is not necessary.

To avoid new misunderstandings, I want to make clear that if you make your own cliparts for adoption or have an artist creating them for you and you offer them for people to download or request from your adoption site, your site is NOT commercial. Only sites who sell or advertise something are considered commercial.

Remember that paying the registration does NOT give you rights to do whatever you want with my graphics. All terms of use concerning personal sites also apply for commercial. Please read them entirely at the bottom of this page.

The payment for a registration or the purchase of any collection or pre-made graphic only gives you rights to use the graphics you have paid for, not to alter, redistribute, resell or violate any item of the terms of use. If you do not agree and if you think that once you pay, it is yours so you can do whatever you want to, please, do not pay or purchase anything. I respect other people's opinions, but I would like mine to be respected too. 

ABOUT THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF LICENSE

:: COMMERCIAL WEBSITES LICENSE ::

I charge a one-time registration fee of US$40.00 for EACH commercial site that you own. This registration entitles you to use all graphics I currently have available to decorate your website, as well as the new ones that will be added in the future.

Remember that the fee is to be paid PER site, so if you have more than one commercial site in which you want to use my graphics, you will need to register for EACH one separately.

If you want to purchase a collection to use in your website, please do not forget to register your site first. If you want to use the free graphics you have already or intend to download and have not registered your site yet, please do that before puting the graphics in your website. Remember that if you want to use ONLY the adoptables or blinkies, there is no need to register your commercial site.

This is a one-time fee, so if you purchase new collections in the future, or if I add new free sets after you registered your site, you do not need to register again if you are going to use the new graphics in the SAME site you registered. You ONLY need to pay this registration again if you want to use the graphics (old or new) in a different commercial website that you own.

If you are using the same collection(s) you have already purchased or free graphics you have downloaded in two different commercial sites that you own, you must register EACH site separately.

Please, do not forget to send me an email in case you change the urls of your registered commercial sites, so I can keep my records updated.

If you are interested in using the graphics to create products for sale, please read the terms and conditions for crafters. This commercial website license entitles you to use the graphics for web page decoration ONLY.

Remember that paying the commercial website registration does NOT give you ownership over my graphics, only the rights to use them to decorate your website.

By ordering a commercial licence you agree to ALL itens of the terms of use.

In case I find any violation of the rules, I will contact you about it. If the problem persists, I reserve the rights to revoke any licence (no fees will be refunded).

If you have doubts, please don't hesitate to contact me.

:: PUBLIC SCHOOLS, DAYCARE AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WEBSITES ::

I normally do not consider commercial, sites with Charitable causes, School or Day Care sites, once they do NOT advertise their business or offer their services on line. For instance, if a school site is created EXCLUSIVELY with the purpose of providing information for parents and/or students, I do NOT consider it commercial, but if it is also used with the purpose to advertise the school services, then it is considered commercial.

If you have doubts, please don't hesitate to contact me.


:: WEBDESIGNERS LICENSE ::

Please note: This license if for those who create sites for other people for profit. If you are creating a website for a friend and is not charging for your services or if you are the webdesigner of your own website ONLY, please skip this part and read the information concerning the commercial websites registration instead if the website you create is commercial, that is, if it is used or is going to be used to sell or to advertise any kind of product or service.

Please, read this part either if you are a webdesigner or is using the services of a webdesiger. Thank you !

--------------------

- Information for the Webdesigner -

 I. If you want to use my graphics to decorate the sites you create to others in your webdesign businness, you have two options:

1. You MUST become one of my licensed webdesigners first.

2. You MUST pay for each site you create for your clients separately.

About option Nº1.

To become one of my licensed webdesigners, you must pay a one-time registration webdesign license fee of US$60.00 dollars. This fee will give you rights to use my graphics in an unlimited number of sites you create to others as well as to use them to decorate your own webdesign site. If you purchase this license, there is no need to pay for the commercial site registration if you want to use the graphics to decorate your own webdesign site as well.

About option nº2.

If you prefer to pay for each site separately, you must pay a US$15.00 fee to decorate EACH website that you create using my graphics. That is, everytime you create a new website, you will have to pay a US$15.00 fee. If you choose this option, you will not be able to use the graphics to decorate your own webdesign site. This US$15.00 fee does NOT entitle you to use the graphics in your own site, only in your client's site.

 Please, note that this US$15.00 fee entitles you to decorate just ONE site you create (the US$50.00 fee entitles you to decorate an unlimited number of sites). To decorate another client's site, you must pay a new US$15.00 fee, or you can become a licensed webdesigner at any time by paying the US$60.00 fee.

I am sorry but if you choose to pay for the webdesign license in the future after you have already paid for one or more separate sites, there will be no refunds or discounts.

Please, read carefully the advantages of each option to see the one that best suits your needs. Remember that there are NO refunds. No exceptions, please. You can contact me as many times as you want before making any payment.

II. If you want to use my graphics ONLY to decorate your own webdesign site, not your clients' sites, you must pay the U$40.00 fee to register YOUR commercial site. You can read more about it in the page concerning the commercial websites registration.

Additional information:

If you are already one of my licensed Webdesigners, each different COMMERCIAL site you create for your clients using my graphics must be registered. (Your customer must pay the commercial fee before you create the website for him/her).

That is, if your client's website is Commercial, you must ask him/her to pay me the US$40.00 registration fee pertaining the commercial website registration before opening her/his commercial site to the public. In case your customer's site is PERSONAL, the customer does not have to register.

Once your client has payed the license, he/she owns the rights to use the graphics to decorate his/her website. This is to avoid future problems in case your client wants to build his/her website her/himself in future, or if he/she wants to hire the services of another webdesigner.

Please, note that if you are NOT one of my licensed Webdesigners, you may NOT use my graphics to decorate the sites you create to other people. The only current licensed webdesigners who can use my graphics to create sites for others are: Nicole from Country Art Web Design at http://nicoleshome.com/webdesign, Valéria from Val Web Designs at http://www.valwebdesigns.hpg.com.br,Tahliah from Kid at Heart http://www.kidatheartonline.com/index.htm, Gerae from Lindsey Country at http://www.lindseycountry.com, Julie Kincaid from Apple Orchard Webdesign at www.geocities.com/juleskdz/appleorchardwebdesign.html, Barbara Strohmenger from My Thorny Rose Designs at http://www.mythornyrose.de and Cindy Welsh from Little Town Web Design at http://www.angelfire.com/pop2/littletownwebdesigns/sitemap.html.

Please, do not forget to send me an email in case you change the url of your Webdesign sites, so I can keep my records updated.

If your name is NOT here, it means that you are not one of my licensed webdesigners yet, so unfortunately you CANNOT use my graphics to decorate your clients' sites unless you order my webdesign license. If you want to do that, first you MUST agree to:

- Respect my terms of use and make your clients aware of them.
- Provide me the URL of your webdesign site as well as the URLs of EACH of your clients' sites in which you used my graphics.

- About Payments -

All payments are made in US Dollars. I accept Paypal (credit cards), money orders or cash. Customers outside Brazil who prefer to register by mail may send payment to an address in the US, it is not necessary to send it to Brazil. If you have any questions, you can contact me for details about payment.

If you want to pay with credit card, you must do that through Paypal only.

In case you violate the terms of use, I will first contact you about it, but I reserve the rights to revoke your webdesign license if you continue to violate any of my terms of use. I am sorry but there will be no refunds.

Remember that paying the webdesigner license registration does NOT give you ownership over my graphics, only the rights to use them to decorate websites.
