Membership Terms/Terms of Use
*Updated 11-08-07

- You must link back to our website using one of our logos OR a text link.

- You do not have to have a website to join. If you have a website you must give me the URL. If you state in your terms of use that anyone with a members area has to give you access to their member area so you can make sure they are following your terms of use, then I too require that you provide me with access to your members area.
I will never use anything in your members area without first purchasing a membership from you.

- Once you receive your username and password there will be NO refunds for ANY reason. Please make sure that you want your membership BEFORE purchasing.

- You are not allowed to share your username or password with anyone.
I do track IP's, and if you are caught doing so I will immediately revoke your membership WITHOUT refunding ANY of your money. Please recommend our site to your friends instead.

- If you have a website, you MUST display our website logo *OR a text link, on your site within 7 days of joining. I will check our members sites periodically to make sure that our logo is displayed there. If your membership expires and you continue to use our outlines, or anything from our website you MUST continue to display our logo on your site.

- You must ALWAYS color and decorate our outlines before you can use them for anything.
I do not give ANYONE rights to use our outlines as is in their members area, or anywhere else.

- NONE of our tubes are to be shared with ANYONE. You MUST make a tag, web set, adoption, premade, wallpaper, stationary, etc. out of them before displaying them anywhere.
You MUST add more than just text to the tubes... even just grass, or a little scene etc. is fine. Just not only one tube and your name please.
We'll work with anyone, so please feel free to email me anytime to ask if your uncertain. It's better to ask than violate our terms of use.
You MAY sell your creations from our tubes if you wish, but you may NOT sell our tubes, or add them to any collection, anywhere.

- You may NOT resize our outlines ever, for any reason.
If you really want something larger/smaller than please email me, if I have time, and I am able I will do it for you.
This is not something I do everyday so please do not expect me to do it often.

-You may NOT remove parts of our outlines to use with other outlines... not even our own outlines.
Please use them as they are, or draw your own add ons... do NOT tear apart mine to make something else from them. You may remove a few pixels if you need to make something fit right, but if your changing a LOT of pixels, then I'd like to look at it before you use it.
Usually if your using an outline though you like it how it is so it's not generally a problem, I just want to make things as clear as I can.
* You may alter the outlines for animation purposes, if it's extensive alterations I'd prefer to see the changes before you use it...
I'm not trying to be unreasonable... just protecting our work.

-You must ALWAYS give credit to disbme for anything that you use. A text link at the bottom of the page is fine,
You MUST display our logo or a text link on EACH page that one of our creations is on... not just a "general" some tubes by disbme on one page.

- You may not alter our graphics in anyway. If you want something re-colored etc. Please email me and I will do what I can to help you get what your needing. 
* You may change the hair color, eye color, or skin tones on any of our tubes.

- Outlines and your results from our tutorials may be TUBED to use in your members area ONLY with a tube license, which costs $30.00 in addition to your membership fee.
You may NOT offer the outlines, you can offer the tubes you make from them. 

-*If you would like to sell tubes you make from our lineart in tube packs, or outside of a password protected member's area...you MUST purchase a commercial tubing license. 
The only members exempt from this are those who joined and purchased a tube license BEFORE Sunday August 6, 2006. 
A complete record of commercial tube license holders will be displayed on our site.  There is a one time fee of $40.00 for the Commercial Tube License.

- If you wish to write tutorials using our lineart, you may, but you MUST purchase a tutorial license, which costs, $25.00 in addition to your membership fee Current Tutorial license holders are the only ones with permission to write Tutorials with our lineart.  You may NOT offer the outlines, but you can write a tutorial using the outlines, so that your members may make their own outlines. Credit for the original outline MUST always be given to disbme. You MUST display your tutorial license within each tutorial that you write.

- If you wish to use any of the graphics (including lineart, tutorials, premades... any graphics from disbme) for crafting purposes (embroidery, transfers, cross stitch etc.) you MUST first purchase a Crafter's License which costs $30.00 in addition to your membership fee.  Tubes in "Other Artists Lineart" are forbidden for crafting purposes.
- You must NEVER claim copyright to ANY of the creations from disbme. The original copyright will ALWAYS remain with disbme and/or the original creator. You may claim your creation, but NOT the copyright. I do offer tubes to our members that I have made from our memberships to other sites. It is against their terms of use for anyone to claim copyright to their creations, and the same applies to disbme creations. Please always give credit where credit is due.

-NOTHING on this site is to be shared EVER. You are more than welcome to make tags etc. for sharing, but you are never to share anything as is that is in the members area.

-If you have ANY questions what so ever that I may not have covered here PLEASE email me BEFORE you use the graphic in question. It will help solve any potential misunderstandings before they happen.

-There is to be NO hot linking to anything on our site. If you are caught doing so your membership WILL be revoked, with NO refund.

-Lifetime Memberships are only given to 5 people PER YEAR, first come first serve, please do not ask me to reconsider, I will not.  *The only exceptions are Promotional Sales.  We will start selling lifetime memberships again on: June 19, 2007

-ALL members may choose ONE free tag per month from the disbme Tag Shoppe. All other tags must be purchased. If you are a CURRENT member, you may purchase the tag(s) at the members cost, instead of the regular prices for non-members.

-I do reserve the right to change any or all of our terms at any given time. For this reason I ask that you regularly check for changes.

*- We will only trade lifetime memberships with Sites that are listed on our Wish List.
If we trade with you and your site closes, you will no longer have access to our Members area... fair is fair.
