Bases Terms of Use

Terms of Use for My Doll Bases

All doll bases displayed here are 100% original creations by me. Every image is protected by my Copyright, and may only be used according to my terms of use.

WHAT YOU MAY DO WITH MY BASES

1. You may edit my bases to make dolls for your personal use. If you use my doll bases to create a doll, you must display my link on the same page where your doll is displayed.

-'Edit' means you may draw clothes, hair, add make-up, etc. Do not alter poses.

-'Personal use' means non-for-profit use. You may not sell dolls made from my bases or use them on any commercial websites.

2. You may enter a doll made with my bases in a doll contest, provided that you give me credit as the base artist. You must also provide a link to my website.

WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO WITH MY BASES

1 . You may NOT use any of my doll bases for making signature tags without my express, written consent.

2. You may NOT use my doll bases to make Avatars.

3 . You may NOT post any of my doll bases on any Forum or Group or message board or shared in any 'Snag' Groups or provide them for download from your website. You may not make dollmakers with my bases. Instead, you may share my link so people can come directly to my site to view my work.

4 . You may NOT alter the poses of my bases or claim as your own. No Frankendolling. You may not post a different head on my bases.

5 . NO DIRECT LINKING to my images, please! That is Bandwidth theft. If you like something, and want to use it on your own website, then you MUST first save it to your PC, then upload it to your own web-hosting site. [Anyway....if you try to direct link from me...I often replace the graphics with a 'Hotlinker Alert' image of my own in order to protect my rights].

Educate yourself about Copyright...
It is a myth that anything you see on the internet is 'Public Domain'. It simply is not true that you are 'free to take' what you see.

Artists may grant you permission to 'use' their work, according to their terms of use, but that does not give anyone the right to take or edit without permission. In fact, doing so is in direct violation of Copyright Laws. The Original creator has Legal Copyright to their work.
