RULES IN DETAIL


RULE 1: You MUST be a member of Deviantart to use my stock! Do not just download and use somewhere else! Thats called THEFT and applies to YOU AS WELL!

- If you ARE a member of Devintart, then I DO give you permission to use, manipulate, crop, cut, change size, colour etc etc etc my stock art for your own use - thats the whole reason for me putting them up here in the first place!!! (Please note that this must be FOR NON-PROFIT use unless you have my specific permission).

RULE 2: PLEASE add a LINK back to my gallery : icon stormsorceress : (take the space out) or : dev stormsorceress : (again without the spaces) on YOUR OWN ARTWORK if you have used all or part of my stock so that other people know where it has come from. Its not exactly a rule, but more common curtesy and politeness.

RULE 3: You MUST leave a comment on the original stock to say you have used it.


Using my Stock in Prints


RULE 4: I hereby grant all deviantartists permission to use my stock in any and all deviant prints without restriction. This means you do not need to ask first for DEVART prints.

If you want to use/sell/ my stock in any other way then please NOTE ME!


Regarding Copyright and theft...


RULE 5: PLEASE DO NOT use my stock for artwork that will be displayed OUTSIDE of DA UNLESS you have gained SPECIFIC PERMISSION from me first!

- My stock does not belong in the public domain, the licence I extend for use is for DA members only - if you do not understand this, please ask for clarification.

- THE BLANKET EMAIL TO DA is for DAPRINTS USE ONLY!!!!!!


Points to note...


Deviantart, its owners etc DO NOT OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO MY STOCK OR ARTWORK.

- DEVIANTART STATES REGARDING OWNERSHIP "Artist at all times retains all right, title and interest in and to the Artist Materials provided by Artist hereunder (including, without limitation, the copyrights in and to the Artist Materials), subject to the non-exclusive rights in the licenses granted to deviantART under this Agreement. Artist is free to grant similar rights to others during and after the Term of this Agreement. "

Just because my STOCK does NOT have VISABLE COPYRIGHT WATERMARKS does NOT mean that they are not SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT PERMISSIONS! I GIVE DEVIANTART USERS ONLY permission to download, use, MANIPULATE my stock art but NOT my artwork. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE UNMANIPULATED STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY INTO YOUR OWN WEBSITE! THIS IS COPYRIGHT VIOLATION!

It remains MY option to remove or change or ammend any or all of my stock and rules at ANY time.
