Please, read these terms of
use carefully before taking any graphics or anything else
off of these pages. The terms are here to protect my copyright,
but also to keep you out of future trouble. If you do
not honour the terms of use you will be regarded as having
'malicious' intent. If you're in doubt or just don't understand
the information here feel free to e-mail me with your
questions at webmaster@gjdesigns.dk.
The terms of use may be edited
if I find it necessary and you will need to follow them
at all times. I will include a date to let you know when
the terms have been edited so you will know whether you
need to reread them or not.
This site is published in
Denmark and the entire site is copyright 2000-10 Guðrun
Jacobsen.
Direct linking/hotlinking
You may NOT direct link to anything at all on this server
for any reason whatsoever, except if I tell you to do
so.
Layout
All layout graphics and html coding (such as backgrounds,
css and the like) on this site were made by the webmistress
(Guðrun J.) unless otherwise stated. They are not
offered for you to use and should not be copied under
any circumstances.
Graphics:
All graphics (including but not limited to cartoon dolls,
kaos, signatures, blinkies, name animations, animated
expressions, kaleidos, mailboxes, etc.) were made by the
webmistress (Guðrun J.). Therefor I own the copyright
and have the right to set some terms of use that you should
follow if you want to use the graphics (please, click
here to find the
separate terms of use for buyable graphics/signatures).
a) the
graphics (except textures and psp tubes) may be ADOPTED.
Just remember to link back to this site on the same page
where you display the graphic (if you need banners or
buttons for this purpose they are found on the linking
page). However, you may not adopt more than 5 graphics
from each category or else it will be considered just
another collection page and not an adoption page.
b) the
graphics may be used to DECORATE your site, e-mails or
messages on message boards (for this you can use as many
graphics as you wish as long as it's done the right way).
Just remember to link VISIBLY back to this site on the
same page (or in the same message or e-mail) where you
display the graphic (if you need banners or buttons for
this purpose they are found on the linking
page).
c) the
graphics may NOT be placed into any sort of collection.
This means that if you have a collection of any sort of
graphics on your site you may NOT enter any of the graphics
offered on this site onto any of the pages where you have
the collected graphics. No, not even if you link back
to this site. Also, you can not make a page with all or
a lot of the graphics found here and claim that it is
an adoption page, it is not, it is in fact a collection
page, the limit for adoption is set to 5 graphics from
each category.
d) the
graphics may NOT be redistributed in any way whatsoever,
this includes but is not limited to online collections,
drag and drop dollmakers, CDs for your friends or intended
for sale, mailing lists, MSN communities, newsgroups etc.
If you want people to know about the graphics give them
the correct hyperlink to this site.
e) the
graphics may NOT be altered in any way whatsoever, this
includes but is not limited to changing the colours, editing,
adding to other graphics, taking pieces and using with
other graphics, cutting to pieces and using in drag and
drop doll makers, adding names or signatures, halting
the animation, removing the ©GJ sign.
f) the
graphics may NOT be claimed as your own creations.
g) always
link back to this site on every page that you the graphics
offered here. This can be done with either a graphic link
(if you need banners or buttons for this purpose they
are found on the linking page)
or a text link. Or you can make the graphic itself a hyperlink
back to this site.
Special circumstances
The doll
bases (and other bases) are free for you to copy and
edit. All I ask is that you don't redistribute them in
any way, including but not limited to drag and drop dollmakers
or offering them for others to use on your site, and that
you don't claim them as your own creations. If you have
used my bases for dolls on your site you are welcome to
link to this site. All the dolls you create with the bases
can be considered your own creations however as long as
they are cartoon dolls and you're not just editing the
base itself in order to be able to redistribute it. If
you want to make a base editing contest with one of the
bases offered here, please, let me know via e-mail, and
then I will probably be happy to let you use it. The only
restriction to the use of the bases is the no redistribution
rule. The link back to this site when using the base to
make a doll is not mandatory but, of course, it is most
welcome.
Animated
alphabets
All animated alphabets on this site are the creations
of the webmistress. They may be used like other graphics
to decorate your emails and web sites providing you give
a hyperlink to this site. They may also be put together
to make animated names providing the letters themselves
are not altered but merely combined into one image. If
you make such animated names you are welcome to give them
to your family and friends and you should then let them
know where you got the alphabet. If you distribute such
names from a site then it is mandatory that you give a
very esily found and visible link to this site stating
that the alphabet originated from here. You are allowed
to distribute such names providing your site is NOT of
a commercial nature, meaning that not only are you not
allowed to sell the animations, but you must not make
money in any other way (advertising banners, selling other
products, receiving donations, membership sign ups for
a fee etc. ) off of the site where they are distributed.
Also, the alphabets are animations and must remain so,
they must not be altered in any way, that includes but
it not limited to, halting the animation, resizing, recolouring,
making into PSP tubes etc.
Textures
All textures / background images that are offered
in the textures section of this site may be used as such
on your own site or in emails. You may also use them to
make email stationery or in other online projects. Whatever
you make will be your copyright, as long as it is a real
creation and not just an edit of the texture. The textures
may not be edited for redistribution but must be used
as is - and never redistributed at all. If you use the
textures for your projects, please, link visibly to this
site.
PSP Tubes
All PSP tubes may be used in your graphics projects as
PSP tubes should be. This means that they may be included
into both animated and non animated graphics and they
may be used to make textures. They may never be redistributed
as is but must always be part of another project. The
graphics you make using the tubes will be your own copyright
as long as the tubes are part of the graphic and not just
the graphic itself. If you use the PSP tubes for your
projects, please, link visibly to this site.
Graphics
in contests
The graphics that have been entered in contests on this
site were not created by the webmistress. They were created
by the people who entered them into the contest. Therefor
you should visit the site of the creator by clicking on
the graphic in stead of copying it. All creators have
their own specific terms of use that may vary from the
ones found here, and these should always be respected.
Tutorials
The tutorials found on this site are entirely the creations
of the webmistress unless otherwise stated. They may not
be edited, copied or redistributed in any way except by
giving the hyperlink to this site. However, if you wish
to print a copy for yourself to follow in the future,
or if you want to save a copy to your hard drive for future
reference and your own personal use (but otherwise follow
the terms of use) that is quite all right. The tutorials
may not be translated to other languages except if permission
has been given in writing by the webmistress. If permission
for translation is given, the tutorial will still need
to be hosted on this site while a hyperlink will be given
to credit the translator. If you are interested in translating
one or several of the tutorials, please, contact me via
e-mail at webmaster@gjdesigns.dk.
For commercial
site owners
None of the graphics offered here may be used on a commercial
site without the prior purchase of a license or with explicit
written permission. When asking for this permission you
must inform me in your e-mail that your site is commercial
or else the permission can be taken away at any time.
Graphics provided on this site may be used only on personal
and noncommercial web sites.
For adult
site owners
None of the graphics offered here may be used on any sites
with adult content whatsoever. If you are in the need
for some adult looking dolls you are welcome to contact
me via e-mail and I will consider if I can make some.
But it will probably not be free. You will have the opportunity
to get exclusive right to the graphic though.
(To fellow dollers: if you have a section on your doll
site where you have adult dolls and if this section has
a very clear warning that is contains adult content, or
even better if you restrict minors from visiting it, then
you may use the dolls offered here on your site. However,
this permission is only granted to cartoon doll sites
with original adult creations by the owner of the web
site and only if the web site is set up in a responsible
way as described above).
None of my
creations may be used on any sites containing any kind
of hatred, racism, illegality or anything the like. There
are no exceptions to this rule!
