There has been a lot of talk about Terms of Use lately

Since there has been a lot of talk about "terms of use" lately, I can't help but think about my own. Something I wanted to do is make it available to the general public as a way to share. I like the whole "know what you're getting before you buy it" concept. I know that doesn't make any guarantees about the quality of the product, but at least you'll know up front and center what you can and cannot use my products for. That's good, right?

Anyway, I am seriously considering widening the allowable uses of my products. The changes will be retroactive to all products available of mine. You will see any changes here on my blog. Until I make said changes, you can read my TOU below:

TERMS OF USE

This product was created by Stacey Sansom. You can find information about Stacey, specials, new products, and where to purchase products at Stacey's Digital Scrapbook Creations (http://digiscrapcreations.blogspot.com). I keep the list of where to buy my products updated on my blog, so if in doubt look there.

This product is for PERSONAL USE ONLY! This means that you may use it for your personal use. You may use it for any project that is not sold. You may scrap for yourself. You may scrap for others so long as you are not paid for the end product. This includes, but is not limited to: flyers, brochures, cards, etc. You may use this product to create items for others so long as they are given as gifts in either a flattened, single layer digital file (finished product) or printed format. This may also include using this product to create handouts, flyers, invitations, brochures, etc for churches, non-profit organizations, etc. Remember, you should not be paid to create the items for these said organizations and all end products should be either printed or single layer digital file.

If you are interested in a "SCRAP FOR HIRE" use of this product, please contact me at sasansom@yahoo.com and we will discuss the terms. This includes if you want to use this product to scrap other individual's pictures and memories as a paid service. If you are paid for an end product, it is a "scrap for hire" use and you need to contact me before you sell it.

If you are interested in "COMMERCIAL" use of this product, please contact me at sasansom@yahoo.com and we will discuss the terms. This includes using items to create other items that you will then turn around and sell as your own. I generally do not allow this use, but with the right incentives I am willing to consider it. Contact me.

If you are interested in "CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION" use of this product, please contact me at sasansom@yahoo.com. This includes if you want to advertise a charity or if you would like to offer an item or service using this product in an auction or fund raising type setting.

You MAY USE this product for as many scrapbook pages as you like. Do not feel you may only use this product one time in one layout or project. Create a whole album from this product. That is the beauty of digital - repeat use.

You MAY PRINT scrapbook pages or other projects using this product as many times as you like. If you need 10 copies of a particular item for a hybrid project, go for it! If you need 10 copies of the same layout to give as gifts to 10 different people, then print, print, print.

You MAY POST scrapbook pages using this product in as many online galleries as you see fit to post them in. Please give credit where credit is due. I like seeing my products in use. I do occasionally run across layouts using my products and it brings me great joy. I even leave comments in galleries where things are posted.

You MAY SUBMIT for publication in various magazines (digital, print, or otherwise). Just be sure to give credit where credit is due. State my name (Stacey Sansom) as the designer, the item used, and the product name where the item was found. If your submission is selected for publication, please let me know I would love to hear about it/see it. Email me at sasansom@yahoo.com and let me know about it.

PLEASE GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE! This credit includes stating my name (Stacey Sansom) as the designer, the items used, and the product name where used items were found. If you use a brad from "Kit A" state: "brad found in Kit A by Stacey Sansom." I'd appreciate if you also give some indication of where you purchased said product - either a store name and/or link or a link to my blog (http://digiscrapcreations.blogspot.com) is appropriate.

You MAY NOT REDISTRIBUTE this product. This includes digitally or otherwise. You MAY NOT resell this product in full or in part. If someone wants a copy of it, tell them where they can get their own copy. You MAY NOT distribute this product in full or in part via email, email lists, online groups, file sharing services, etc.

You MAY STORE this product on more than one saving device or computer so long as you own said device. I recommend that you make regular backups of all your digital scrapbooking goodies (layouts, kits, etc). You MAY NOT, however, store this item on a friend's computer or external hard drive (or any storage device that does not belong to you). If your friend or family member does not reside in your household and wants their own copy of this product, tell them where to find this product so that they may purchase their own copy.

You MAY USE this product for blog banners, web backgrounds or elements, etc. DO NOT SELL these items as this product (or any product) is FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY! This means that you can use this product on a personal, non-commercial website, blog, etc. If you want to use them where money will exchange hands, contact me at sasansom@yahoo.com first.

Happy Scrapping!

Stacey Sansom
