I. General provisions
1. Artists are exclusive owners of their graphic art packages (Tubes) and resulting products displayed on this website. Purchasing any tube does not entail any rights to it, rather than gives permission to use it in quite a limited way, which is what PU license is for.
2. Tubes and other products available at PicsForDesign.com are for online/digital use only, for strictly personal and non-commercial purpose(making tags, timeline covers etc). Some products, such as kits and posers, may be used for a broader range of purposes, IF the TOU of a specific designer expressly permits it.
3. An individual license number must be created and saved by every customer on their own prior to purchasing and using any tubes or products. This is done in My Account - License.
4. PicsForDesign service will be considered provided in full after the customer downloads the product(s) purchased (or received in any other way through the website interface) at least once.
5. It's your responsibility as a seller or customer at this store to occasionally review these Terms of Use for any amendments. If at any point you discover a provision that you do not accept in its entirety, you are free to stop selling/buying. By continuing to use this website you agree to follow our Terms contained on this page.
II. Copyright information - how to credit our artists and designers
a) for PSP TUBES
All tubes, when displayed online by the customer, MUST contain the following information, displayed in a very clear and visible way:
1. The copyright symbol © followed by the full name of the artist as registered on our website or the word Exclusive if applicable.
2. Our website URL (www.PicsForDesign.com)*
3. Proper license number saved for the account from which that product was purchased.
Here is how you credit the artist on your tags etc:
© ArtistName*
www.PicsForDesign.com
Your_PFD_license
* You must put © ArtistName for REGULAR tubes and QUEST bonuses. You can put either © Exclusive or © ArtistName for exclusives from prepaid projects, those available only to the Exclusive Club members and monthly loyalty bonuses.
*** For avatars sized under 200 pixels on the larger side, you are allowed to put just the artist's name and your PicsForDesign license.
b) for KITS, FRAMES, POSERs and RESALE products.
For kits, frames and posers (both resale and offered by the original designer), please be guided by the TOU of the designer whose product(s) you purchased. These are typically found inside the archive with the product. In case any product from the above purchased at PFD also contains a PSP tube with copyright information provided in the description or specifically and unequivocally within the archive (in the TOU file, on one of the layers of the PSD file), when using that tube, please refer to PFD terms for PSP tubes - the tag or design created must contain all the copyright information that would be required in case any other PSP tube was used, specifically:
© ArtistName
www.PicsForDesign.com
Your_PFD_license
For cases when the designer does not provide a clearly visible and specific copyright information for the tube(s) used in the scrap kit, you just need to give credit to the seller, if so required in their TOU, by writing "Kit by… Seller_Name". In case the TOU file included with the ZIP archive contradicts these terms, please be guided by these Terms.
Please note that the copyright symbol © can only be used before the names of the original artists that created a certain piece. You must not put a copyright sign before the name of the scrap kit designer, unless they are the original artist at the same time.
III. Under the PU license available from PicsFordesign.com you are allowed to:
1. Choose any combination of letters and numbers for the license number, as long as that combination is not inappropriate or offensive. The license number you submit does not have to start with PFD_. Up to three licenses are allowed per account, for family use. Each license is equally valid. These are not possible to change once they've been submitted.
2. Create graphic digital products for non-commercial use, such as PSP tags and free tutorials. Our tubes can be used for creating banners and website designs, as long as the owner of the final banner or design is the same person that purchased the tube(s) used for making it.
3. Make Facebook Timeline Covers for yourself and other people, as long as there is no profit of any kind involved.
4. Colorize tubes purchased, alter and animate them.
5. Use several tubes from different artists selling at PicsForDesign in one tag (as long as all the tubes were purchased at PFD). In the field that requires the author's name, you must list all the artists separated by commas. For example: © Rzhevskii, Zebrush, Zlata_M.
IV. Under the PU license available from PicsFordesign.com it's strictly forbidden to:
1. Share tubes purchased, downloaded for free, received as a gift, a bonus or in any other way through our website or in their original format (ZIP archive, PSD file), or any modification of the original file format (such as PNG), in any way.
2. Use tubes purchased or otherwise received through our website for any kind of commercial purpose.
3. Use tubes purchased or otherwise received through our website for making promo materials (banners etc) and creating website designs for otherpeople.
4. Use tubes for the purposes allowed but without proper copyright information.
5. Put any © symbols that imply the character depicted was created by anyone other than the original artist.
6. Put any other site URL's on tags created with its PSP or Poser tubes. If a kit from PicsForDesign was also used for the tag, you can add something like "Scrap kit by…", but still no URLs other than PicsForDesign URL.
NB! Sharing of our copyrighted products in any form, sharing links to our copyrighted products being shared or using them for commercial purpose will result in blocking of the customer's account, which will effectively mean they are no longer permitted to use the products purchased for any purpose and will lose access to all the previously purchased products. Please be warned that this does NOT entitle you to a refund for any images purchased or otherwise received through our website.
If you wish to create products for commercial purpose, such as to make promo materials, banners, create web designs for other people, as well as make non-digital products, you must obtain a royalty-free license for the desired tube(s).
PicsForDesign license, which typically costs $1.85 a piece, allows you to use such a tube for very limited purposes and is absolutely not suitable for commercial use. If you intend to create any type of commercial product, you must have a royalty-free license for the tube or tubes used that can be obtained at Rfillustrations.com.
For instance, for creating various digital products based on a single tube, you need the $7 license. For any type of royalty-free license you do not need to credit the artist or provide any other copyright information. However, you are still not allowed to pass the original PSD file to anyone or share it in any way.

5. Please be warned that all products you purchase are delivered to you as a zipped archive. It's your responsibility to have a program that allows unzipping such an archive. Inability to unzip the archive due to incomplete download for reasons that PicsForDesign has no control over does not constitute a case of non-delivery.

If you do not contact us within 5 days from the moment the payment was processed, the product(s) you purchased will be considered as delivered.
1. Once the items you paid for have been delivered (you received an e-mail from us with a link OR you downloaded the item(s) in your account), as long as you received the exact thing you purchased of the quality that would be reasonably expected upon checking the preview(s) and the product description made available by the artist or designer before the purchase, there is no refund.
2. Incomplete downloads interrupted for reasons that PicsForDesign has no control over and resulting in inability to unzip the archive are not constituted a reason for a refund.
3. A refund is possible if you happened to purchase another copy of the product you already have, but only as long as both copies were purchased at our store. In this case the amount of the duplicate is refunded to your PFD account regardless of the payment method you used.
4. In case chargebacks are made, your account will be deactivated until you have added the amount of the chargeback to it. At this point you will regain access to your previously purchased items and will be able to shop more.
