Terms Of Use - Digital Works For Auction Sites

Unless noted in the listing, I do not allow you to host your own images, as this is part of your single user license. As you are purchasing at discounted prices, I have to protect my intellectual property and I appreciate your understanding of this matter. Please be aware that I will follow this up and that feedback will be received accordingly. As a member of eBay's VeRO program, you will also be reported to eBay and you risk becoming no longer a registered user (NARU).

You do not have permission to alter any artwork created by me. This excludes any artwork where you have supplied the graphics. This also means you ARE not permitted to break up the graphics to use on other pages such as forums, mySpace and so on without my written consent. Copying any graphics is breaching my copyright and you will be billed for such use and also risk your template being used in the future for your breaches.

A checkout logo is a measly $7.99 and a store header is only $15.99; a small price to pay rather than having all your listings pulled by eBay became you cut up the graphics and created your own.

I also will contact your web host if you have copied the template images to their server and they will remove these images as you will be in breach of their terms of use. Remember, I have full working files as proof of ownership if you state to them you created the artwork yourself.

Please be warned that I have pursued this matter many times in the past when some users of my templates have blatantly breached the terms of use. They have had their listings removed by eBay and this has caused them major disruption having to relist, plus the loss of sales with the downtime. If you choose to breach my license terms, you will be added to my shame web page for doing so.

Auction Templates

This is a license I give for you to use my work for a 12 month period. This covers the hosting cost of your images within this period. After 12 month's if you are a 'light' user of bandwidth you will not be charged. If you are a heavy user, then you will be required to pay the standard pre-made template fee for another 12 months. This on average is $24.99 - a small price to pay for template image hosting.

This license means you do not have permission to use on a second auction site, under a different name (ID) or on your own website, or even resell. You can however, use on as many pages under the ID as you like. If you wish to use elsewhere, all you do is purchase another license and permission will be given.

My designs are not created in seconds and especially for custom design, I research first before your design is created. The single user license protects my intellectual property and means I am not working for nothing.

Websites

Any designs, code, email forms can be used only for the website it was intended for. You do not have permission to then alter the code, images, forms and use on other websites. This is in breach of my license terms. Your name and website will be added to my shame web page here if you do this. Instead, please purchase an additional license for each website.

All my designs will have reference to me 'ideaswoman.com' as the designer within the design, plus a link back to my website. If you are not happy to have this, then please do not order.

Please email me your eBay ID you will be using the template for. If the template is to be customised with your ID, I will only customise with the ID purchased under - no exceptions.

The Process

After you make your payment and it has cleared to my account, you will be sent the design brief which is required to be completed to ensure your custom design meets your requirements. Providing limited or no replies to these questions means it makes it difficult to know what you are wanting.

Prices are valid for 30 days to give you time to return your design brief to me. After 30 days, the amount paid will be used as a credit to use within my store at the current promoted prices. As per the Australian Trades Practices Act, you are not entitled to a refund because you have changed your mind and no longer wish to proceed with your custom design.

Making Changes To Original Order

Once you send me your images, logos and content [if applicable], please be aware that you cannot change your mind or make alterations without incurring additional fees, if I have already commenced your order.

If you are wanting a detailed logo created or specific graphics added other than what I account for in my fees for your design concept creation, then you will be required to make further payments to cover the coasts of these.

Alterations to your mock-layout will cause delays in your receiving your final files as well. Taking the time to complete the design brief correctly will ensure everything works to plan.

Part of the condition of sale is to make an instant payment. If you are not able to pay, please contact me before you purchase and I will recommend payment alternatives.

I no longer accept direct deposits via the bank as this is beyond my control if the payment is lost and then it seems I am still liable to supply the goods, even though I have not been paid. PayPal is the only method of payment I accept. IT COSTS YOU NOTHING TO USE PAYPAL and you can easily transfer funds to your PayPal account from your own bank account or use your credit card.

If in the event of you making an error with your order and a refund is granted, a processing fee of $9.95 plus eBay and PayPal costs incurred applies to cover my time to arrange the refund. Always read the listing BEFORE you make your purchase to ensure you are purchasing the correct item, and if in doubt please email me before purchasing.

If you are not happy with my custom made digital products when the design concept fee has been paid and the design brief has been completed in detail and all questions correctly answered, then I will ensure all work is completed to your satisfaction.

I cannot give refunds for any digital products once received via email or that are instant download.

I have the option to refuse a digital purchase if I deem the purchase is at threat of being misused or exploited. In this event, you will receive a full refund.
