CLIPART ISLAND DISCLAIMER:
Our disclaimer is here to essentially protect us from other clipart distributors.
If are looking for images for a free or pay clipart site, you will not
be allowed to use our images.
As a member of Clipartisland.com, you will have purchased some premium
features such as priority requests, keyword search tools, pages listing
new images, better navigation, and a host of other perks of membership.
You will have permission for most uses of clipart, provided that they
follow the policies of our disclaimer. You have not purchased exclusive
rights to the images, meaning that you may use the images but you may
not freely distribute or sell them to others. When purchasing a membership,
you may not distribute your clipartisland.com username and password. We
scan for ip addresses, and will suspend your account if it is suspected
that you are distributing it. Ie. Password Sites.
All clipart on this site is property of Clips Ahoy, a partnership between
Corey Wisla and Adrea Satre. Clips Ahoy reserves the right to change
this policy at anytime. Clips Ahoy reserves the right to disallow user
permission to anyone.
Refusal can be done even if:
1. Permission has been given in the past.
2. The user is using the clipart in an approved policy way.
3. The user obtained the clipart from a source other than Clips Ahoy.
4. The image is a modified version of a Clip Art produced by Clips Ahoy.
5. The user requested Clips Ahoy to create the clipart.
6. The user is a paid member of ClipArtIsland.com
In this refusal, Clips Ahoy may ask the user to remove clipart produced
by Clips Ahoy from their website, or discontinue usage. Refusal is not
common, but is sometimes used for websites directly violating the disclaimer
policy.
Policy:
Our clipart/images may not be used as part of another clipart/image
archive. This includes any site, program, or utility that exists for distribution
of any type, including "my top 10 favorite clipart of the week"
type of collections. This also includes greeting card sites, and icon
sites. This includes anything we determine to be an archive at a later
date. Basically, the general rule is that we do not want our clipart to
be your product, we want the clipart to compliment your product. Even
if you are using only one or two pictures. Ie. If you have an online greeting
card site, you are profitting by the clipart being the essential to the
product, therefore we do not allow use in this fashion even if it is for
one card. We may grant exceptions on occasion but if you are unsure, use
the contact link below and ask.
You may not distribute our images in any 'community-sharing' environments
or other programs of that nature, Ie. Napster distributes MP3s in a community
sharing environment. You may not distribute clipart via email or other
sources with the intention of distribution. Ie. A clipart site that has
no website or otherwise.
If you want an image modified, contact us, permission is not given to
do modifications. The exception being that you may modify the background
so it fits with your webpage in transparency.
Commercial usage is very acceptable for members. If you use a clipart
on a webpage, we appreciate a link to us somewhere on the page saying
where you got the clipart. This link tells clipart collectors that the
image is accounted for, as well as informs other interested clipart users
where to find us. If you are going to use an image on your webpage, download
it and load it on your server, or use a transload service for webtv users.
We don't want to pay extra bandwidth fees every time your page loads.
All art is original creations created by Clips Ahoy or an employee of
Clips Ahoy. Clips Ahoy does base some clipart on submitted requests. By
submitting a request, you acknowledge that Clips Ahoy will own full rights
to the created request. This means that Clips Ahoy will post clipart on
site, will allow others to use the clipart, has the right to refuse people
from use, and can use the clipart in any fashion deemed appropriate by
Clips Ahoy. Clips Ahoy is not responsible for any legal fees or loss of
profit should there be any dispute regarding a clipart created by Clips
Ahoy. (this is to protect us, should a company using our clipart have
a problem with another company over the use of a clipart or a problem
with us)
Should any problems occur with the service, we will try to resolve them
within reason. Due to the nature of providing an online pay gallery, refunds
are not available under any circumstances. We may offer an extension under
reasonable situations. If the user is no longer interested in a continuous
subscription, it is the responsibility of the user to cancel the subscription
through the transaction service. (ie. paypal)
We reserve the right to change the timefrime that priority requests are
available to keep the timeframe for all requesting members reasonable.
We reserve the right to terminate the request service at any time for
what we deem an abusing member. We reserve the right to suspend a member
account should we deem that they are violating any terms set out in our
disclaimer. (We will give a single warning for user to adhere to policy
before suspension) A suspended account will not be refunded. Clips Ahoy
is not responsible for any losses that occur as a result of the request
service being unavailable, or for a request being late or not completed
at all. All clipart originating from Clips Ahoy are copyright and fall
under the terms set forth in this disclaimer; including images available
in member collection, freely available on our tours, and otherwise.
If you have any questions, please contact us. We are very friendly and
reasonable and will let you know if we find your proposed use to be within
our parameters.
