Getting Your License:
--------------
When
you register at gorjussart,.com you will receive an automatic Welcome
email to thank you for signing up, in this email you will also find your
unique gorjuss art license number ( eg: SW 1234 ). Before registering
it would be advisable to add sales@gorjussart.com and help@gorjussart.com
email addresses to your allowed senders lists in any junk mail
filtering software you have. In the unlikely event you dont receive
this email, please first, check your spam folder, and if it's still not
found you can find your license number by following these steps.
1. Visit http://www.gorjussart.com
2. Click Log In (fill in form and click submit)
3. Click MY ACCOUNT tab at the top of the page.
It will show your gorjuss digital license number at the top of
the page, ONLY if you have made an order with our shop. The license is
of no use unless you have purchased digital products from our shop, and
will not show until you have made a purchase.
Getting Your Tubes/Images:
---------------
Shopping
for tubes has never been easier ! Just browse the site, the tubes are
available individually, or in packs of 6, add what you wish to buy into
your cart and checkout. Once you have checked out*, your purchases
are available instantly to download from your Account area.
To download your packs follow these steps.
1. Visit http://www.gorjussart.com
2. Click Log In (fill in form and click submit)
3. Click MY ACCOUNT tab at the top of the page.
4. Click VIEW button next to the orders.
5. Click DOWNLOAD buttons as required.
*Please note if you paid via E-check/ echeque it may take up to 10 days to clear and your download to become available.
All
our Tubes are in .PNG format (this is compatible with most graphics
programs) and on ONE layer, the tube itself is an image with no
background ( ie. a girl with no background) .. we also include a copy
of the full image too ( with a background), we place these side by side
instead of on top of each other ( like other companies) Our preview
images show the layout of the tubes, the checkered background indicating
the transparent tube background. Scrapkits and element packs are also
on one transparent layer ( i.e no background).
The DONTs
*You
may NOT TUBE gorjuss art without a license, if you have a license you
may tube the image that is downloadable in Your Account area. If you
tube this image it must be for your OWN personal use only, and must not
be shared or distributed in anyway.
*You may not use tubes obtained from elsewhere with your gorjuss ART license.
*You may not print out any gorjuss art, even after you use it one of your own creations!
*
You may not supply anyone 'asking' for gorjuss art with our Tubes, all
licensed users have their tubes available to them in their Account or
are replenished quickly by ourselves via email.
* You may not
redistribute or share the gorjuss art Tubes ( gorjuss art with no
backgrounds) - free or otherwise, online, on CD, or in print format.
Redistribution of your own creations MUST be according to our terms of
use (please see below). You may not redistribute any images supplied
with your gorjuss art tube - as these are unwatermarked ( i.e without a
gorjuss watermark).
YOUR CREATIONS
Your
creations are what it's all about, and we hate to stifle your
creativity. You are able to use your gorjuss art licensed images in many
ways, signature tags, myspace layouts, blog layouts, email stationary
etc. All we ask for is a few things...
*Our copyright and YOUR
license number must be ON every creation you make. We class each
creation as per image... if your creation is made up of more than one
image pieced together ( i.e a webpage that has buttons and a background)
then each image must have the correct copyright AND license info
included. Please try and spell Suzanne's name and the web address
correctly!
Your credit should look like this:
© Suzanne Woolcott www.gorjuss.co.uk (YOURLICENSEHERE)
OR
© Suzanne Woolcott www.gorjussart.com (YOURLICENSEHERE)
The
credit and license code MUST be clearly legible on all of your
creations, it's okay to use a fancy font, but please double check that
it can be read! Small buttons and Avatars are NOT exempt from the
copyright being present on them - we recommend searching for some mini
fonts online for tiny but legible text !
The DONTs
*
You may NOT put any other copyrights on any images that contain gorjuss
art, if you must credit someone else you may put 'Scrapkit by - ' or
'stock photo by - ' .. but you may not mix gorjuss art with any other
artists work requiring their relevant copyright credit.
*You
may not put any other web address on gorjuss art creations. We do
allow you to make banners for your groups, but they should be
'clickable' and have the groups name only, not the address on them.
*You
may not create or distribute/share blank tags, i.e tags shared to be
purposefully modified by someone else other than the license holder who
created them. Creations must NOT be altered or added to by anyone
other than the license holder. Stationary headers should have a
message (such as 'hello', happy birthday' etc), and so should signature
tags! Stationary must have text on the MAIN image.. if there is no image
( i.e just a 'sidebar' .. then you should place some sort of msg on
it! Copyright info MUST be on all images, so if your stationary is
made up of lots of images, please make sure you add copyright info to
them all! .. If using Incredimail, a clickable 'link' in the stationary
footer is not required but we are always thankful if you decide to, as,
well.. it's just polite :)
* You may not pay or be paid
for any image that contains gorjuss art, in any way, this includes your
own gorjuss art creations - and this includes donations. Please
remember your license covers personal use only. Personal use is deemed
as any area where there is nothing 'for sale'.. please note we do not
allow usage under a personal usage license for ebay listings/logos! It
doesn't matter if you are not a company, don't SELL things using
gorjuss artwork on the same site! If you want to use Gorjuss Artwork in a
promotional or commercial way contact Santoro Graphics Ltd to make appropriate arrangements.

*Your
creations are for online use only, if you are found to be making
creations that are clearly for offline/printable use, e.g party invites/
notepaper, then your license will be revoked and legal action may be
taken.
*You must not alter the images in any way, this
includes but is not limited to painting over, tracing, adding to, or
modifying. We allow animation! (yay!) but remember that you can NOT
paint over or 'alter' the artwork (this means no blinking/waving etc!)
We allow grayscaling and single hue changes of the WHOLE image, but not
in 'part' ( i.e no changing the girls hair / dress colour!) This is
to preserve the integrity of the artwork and help maintain its
credibility. DONT add your own hats - hairclips - clothing - legs etc to
the images!
*Your creations must be no more than 72dpi (or ppi)
*Your
creations must not show a gorjuss art image at over 550 pixels on the
largest side, be careful of this when creating a desktop wallpaper!

--------------------------
ELEMENT PACKS - SPECIAL TERMS OF USE
--------------------------
--------------------------
Our
element packs are little packs of 'extra' images for use with our main
art or on their own ..they MUST be © credited on all creations, and
must not be shared 'as is', this includes on a flattened layer, as a
.jpg! Your creations must have a degree of 'use' in them ( i.e no
blank tags) .. you may not paint over, copy or alter the elements in any
way. ( Black and white and all colour hue changes are however
acceptable.) Use of our Element packs with main packs must adhere to
the above terms of use, i.e you couldnt add one of our flowers Elements
to a girls hair ( to look like a hairclip!) as it's against the main
packs terms of use!
These packs are now sold as personal use
only, no work for hire, no payments in exchange of creations, no
donations, no use of your creations in your own shop designs/logos, ebay
listings, etsy banners etc..
Please read our normal terms of use as for more details on what is acceptable use of gorjuss art!
****ELEMENT
packs were originally sold (up to May 09) as commercial usage OK* but
their terms of use have now changed, people who hold a CU license may
carry on using them commercially in their own projects, but the CU
license is non-transferable!
*Element packs bought from Artistic
Minds Inc were never sold with a commercial usage license and should
follow the TOU they received a copy of at time of purchase.

--------------------------
TUBE TRANSFER SERVICE
( TRADE IN YOUR AMI LICENSE)
----------------------
Any
AMI license you may hold is still valid, and will be for your
lifetime. But AMI is now closed down and is unlikely to return to
trading. Any License queries involving AMI licenses will need to be supported
by paypal receipts that detail the packs purchased.
Why?
----
You may find as you carry on purchasing tubes from
us
here at gorjuss art, you get a little confused over what license to use
on your creation.. OR .. you want to use two images on your creation,
one you hold a AMI license for, and one you hold a gorjuss art license
for... You can use TWO license codes on one creation as long as they are
both for Gorjuss images, If it becomes a bit messy and you would rather
use just one then the trade
- in is a good idea to solve the problem. The trade-in does NOT
cancel or modify your previous purchases from AMI.
How To Apply?
------------------
We
require the following information:
1. Your AMI License number.
2.
Your Gorjuss Digital Image License number. (You will need to create an
account at www.gorjussart.com
to obtain one - please do this BEFORE you send us the info!)
3. Proof
of the purchase of packs from AMI, whether this be confirmation letters
from AMI or Paypal receipts, they do need to have the packs or tubes
listed on them so that we can add these under your new license
number.
Email all this to help@gorjussart.com with subject "License Trade In" . If you are fwd'ing on multiple emails then dont worry !
Your
request will be queued and dealt with ASAP - there may be a wait for
these to be actioned, as we receive a lot of them! Due to time
constraint we do NOT contact you to say we have received them - We will
contact you if we require further information and also to let you know
once it has been actioned. As soon as you receive the email confirming
the packs/tubes now covered by your gorjussart license, you can then use
your new license number on all specified AMI purchased packs/tubes.
If you cannot provide proof of having purchased the pack then we will
not be able to cover the images/tubes affected for use with the new
Gorjuss Art Digital License number.
