TERMS OF USE

Linkware graphics are provided for use on personal and non-profit sites 
only. If you have a commercial site or are interested in using our 
graphics commercially, please contact us regarding the purchase of a 
license and/or other purchase options. Note: A "commercial" site is 
one from which  profit is derived, or on which any goods or services are
advertised. This absolutely includes web designers who use the images 
on a site for a client.

These graphics are for use on web pages only. They are not to be used
for email stationery, for decoration on papers or cards, or for anything
other than web pages. 

If you use our linkware graphics, you must provide a visible link back
 to http://alicorna.com/ on each and every page on which the graphics 
are used. Most sets have a built-in link or linking graphic; a text link
 is also acceptable (please be sure to spell the name correctly). Under 
no circumstances is it acceptable to link only from a "credits" or 
"copyright" or similar page. Give credit where credit is due: on the 
same page. 

If you are a web designer and would like to use our graphics on a 
client site, you must purchase a license regardless of whether it a 
personal, non-profit or commercial site. Placing our graphics on a 
client site without purchasing a license is considered unauthorized 
redistribution and commercial use and is a violation of terms of service
and of International copyright law. Please contact us regarding the 
purchase of a license and/or other purchase options. 

You may not alter our graphics in any way, with the exception of adding
text to blank text buttons and/or text to blank title images. Altering
would consist of resizing, cropping, changing the color, or changing 
the appearance of the images in any way. 

If you need a special or customized graphic (including alteration of 
one of our linkware sets) please feel free to contact Alicorna about 
hiring us, as this is one of our services. 

Our graphics sets may not be "mixed and matched." They must be used as 
they were intended, as sets. Please do not use images from different 
sets on the same page. 

Our graphics may not be used or added to any online collections, CD 
ROM collections, sold or redistributed in any way. This includes 
distribution by email, on bulletin boards, via file sharing, via FTP, 
or any other means.

We do not grant permission for any of our graphics to be used on sites 
that contain hate material, including gender, sexual orientation, 
ethnic, religious and/or racial slurs, child endangerment, animal 
cruelty, and/or threats to human life. 

As the copyright holder and creators, we reserve the right to deny
permission to any site which we feels violates any of the above terms.

Failure to abide by these terms of service can result in the loss 
of internet access and/or the complete loss of your website. Also, 
civil action could be brought against you for copyright infringement. 

It is with great disappointment that we feel we must use these strong 
terms, but due to the rampant theft of bandwidth, software, original 
art work, and graphics over the Internet, we feel it necessary to 
protect our legal interests and our creations by any means possible. 
Please understand that we do realize that most people are honorable 
and will abide by these terms. 

If you have any questions regarding these terms of use, please do 
feel free to contact us and ask. Despite the rather severe tone of 
this file, we are actually quite friendly and we're happy to answer 
your questions or offer guidance or clarification.

Thank you, and if you'd like to drop us an email and let us know where 
you're using the graphics, that would be very cool. We like seeing what
you do with our graphics! :-)
