Hiya!

Since I got a digital camera last Christmas, I'm now constantly taking pictures of simply everything. And because they are gettin' better every time I want to share my works with you guys! I hope they can be useful in some ways ^_^


Terms of use

By downloading, storing, or using any stock or resources from CherryMintStock you are agreeing to accept the following guideline rule of this license.


Free for noncommercial use

You are allowed to use CherryMintStock stock photos, textures and brushes in your noncommercial projects.
On a noncommercial project you may use the stock free of any charge.

A "noncommercial" project is not just a project in which no profit is made, it is a project in which no money changes hands. Advertisements and other such projects which are indirectly commercial in nature do not count as noncommercial, so you will need to obtain permission before you can use my stock in such indirectly commercial projects.

Noncommercial use is not limited to DA; you may use CherryMintStock stock items in your noncommercial projects outside of DA as long as you follow all the guidelines, such as Credit and Notification.

When you use a CherryMintStock stock item on DA I ask that you do me the courtesy of notifying me of the stock item[s] you used. Leave a comment on the stock item you used inside my gallery, leave a comment on my front page or send a note.

When you use a CherryMintStock stock item outside DA you are required to notify me of such use by DA note or by other means. Include all applicable links.


Credit

When you use one of my stock items on DA, DA's policy requires you to credit the sources of stock you use in any artwork that you submit on their site. Therefore, using CherryMintStock stock in your art at DA and not crediting the account or the Producer of the stock item you used is technically a DA policy violation. I do not require you to credit me if you post art that uses my work on DA, however I request that you do credit me so that other artists can find the stock you used.

When you use a CherryMintStock stock item outside DA you are required to credit me in a clear and visible manner. You are also required to link back to CherryMintStock.


Commercial use is prohibited

You are explicitly prohibited from putting my stock to commercial use without prior permission.
Using a CherryMintStock stock item or items in a commercial project without expressed permission from me is copyright infringement!

If you would like to use CherryMintStock stock in a commercial project, you may negotiate with me to obtain me permission and a commercial use license.

I'm holding control of the copyright of any stock I made, and so I may decline your request for commercial use of my stock. The details of a commercial use license are decided by you and me.


Several examples of uses considered to be commercial projects :

DA Prints and other such art prints, advertisements for commercial entities, web design for commercial entities, book covers and art in books, c.d. covers and art in c.d.s, and also in art as part of a portfolio all qualify as commercial projects.

For any of these uses and for any other commercial use you will need to obtain my permission beforehand.


Redistributing is prohibited

You are explicitly prohibited from redistributing CherryMintStock stock images in any way designed for reuse. You must not offer any CherryMintStock images for sale or sub-license without the clear permission of me.

This also means you may not release brush sets or any other resources meant for reuse which are based on CherryMintStock stock without special permission. For that permission note me.

You are explicitly prohibited from displaying an unedited CherryMintStock stock image and falsely claiming it as your own photograph or scan. Additionally, if asked directly by anyone where you obtained an item or items of CherryMintStock stock you are required to truthfully inform them that it is a CherryMintStock stock item.


Finally

CherryMintStock reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time without notice. Changes will be published here in my journal, so check back often or monitor it through your devwatch.

CherryMintStock also reserve the right to revoke this License on the stock items. I can do this as I will, for whatever reason I see fit. It is, after all, my work.


Thank you for reading and respecting my rules.

No more official talk, just enjoy my gallery
