In order to use the service provided by Sweet Peas Tubes & Clipart (also referred to as Sweet Peas Tubes), there are terms of use that you must follow. If you do not agree with these terms of use, or the privacy policy, please do not sign up for a membership or use the services offered at Sweet Peas Tubes & Clipart.

Site Layout

Sweet Peas Tubes claims copyright and owner ship to all designs, html, css coding and images uploaded for the site layout unless other wise stated.  This includes preview images for all disks, mini packs, and any other graphics found out side of the membership area.  Nothing is to be copied and pasted elsewhere and is only to be used by Sweet Peas Tubes.
 

Sample Thumbnails

All random preview thumbnails have been created by Sweet Peas Tubes and are integrated into the home and stats page to let everyone have an idea of what is contained inside of the membership area.  Under no circumstances are these thumbnails to be redistributed or sold as is, altered, tubed or otherwise.


Disk Images, Mini Pack Images & Membership Area Images

Sweet Peas Tubes claims copyright and owner ship to all images contained on disk, in mini packs and in the membership area.
The images may not be redistributed or sold as is or in there raw format, in any way.
This includes, but is not limited to Paint Shop Pro and Photo Shop brushes, Paint Shop Pro tubes, nozzles, stamps, transparent gif files without backgrounds or significant changes made or png files with out significant changes made.

In case you are wondering:
Adding 2 images from Sweet Peas Tubes together does not make it a new image, it makes it 2 images from Sweet Peas Tubes added together.

At this time, I do not allow these images to be used for doll heads and/or bodies for sale or to be shared (personal use is fine).  Also, they may not be used to make images to be uploaded and shared/sold on sites like (and including) glitter graphics.com and /or sites that show a blatant disregard for copy right laws.  If you own or belong to sites like this please do not bother signing up or purchasing anything from this site.  I do not condone copy right infringements and will not have my work associated with a site that does.

If you insist on signing up, purchasing a disk or other items;  knowing that I have asked you not to for the reasons above, you will be denied access and you will receive a refund minus any Pay Pal fees I have incurred and that is only if you have not signed in yet.  If I find out this is the case after you  have signed in (even if it's only once) Your membership will be terminated with out any refund what so ever.  You will also be giving up the right to use any images you have purchased and/or downloaded.

If you have been banned for any reason and still insist on sending your friends in for you they will also be banned without refund.

The copy right of the original 2d rendered image belongs to Sweet Peas Tubes, any derivative works created with the images belongs to you (the user) providing the derivative work has significant changes made to the original image - not just resized, a few sparkles added, a name added etc...
Any derivative work (with significant changes) can be used for any personal or commercial project .

If I have not made myself clear enough on what is ok and what is not,
 please email me.


Gifts, Freebies, Presents etc...

"Current and Archived Freebie images" are images inside of the membership area that have been made available to everyone free of charge.  The same terms apply for these images as for any other images found inside the membership area unless otherwise stated.


Logins, Passwords and Electronic Downloads

Each member chooses their own unique login and password.
This information can not be shared with anyone.  It is for one user and one user only.
Each IP address is logged and attempts from different IP addresses to log in are recorded.  The system is automatically set up to lock an account if to many attempts have been made from different IP addresses.
After an investigation is made, if you are found to be sharing your login information and/ or password and /or download links with another person(s), you will  have your membership terminated immediately and no refund will be given.
You will also be giving up the right to use anything you have purchased and/ or downloaded from this site in the past.
There are no exceptions to this rule.

If you co-own a site with another person (s) and plan to make and give/sell items away that you have made using the images at Sweet Peas Tubes, all owners of the site must have there own (active) membership.
If I find this term is not being followed you will  have your membership terminated immediately and no refund will be given.  You will also be giving up the right to use any images you have purchased and/or downloaded.
There are no exceptions to this rule.

Effective immediately, I will not tolerate any type of troublesome behavior.  If you join the this site whether it be a paid membership or a community membership or purchase products with false or misleading information for what I consider to be devious purposes, I will terminate whichever membership (s) you have and revoke your user license for anything you have purchased, downloaded or saved.
There will be no refunds given and I will not give second chances.

Our Forums and Community Area

This site holds a community area and forum.  When signing up for a subscription to the members area you automatically have access to this area.   You can however sign up for just the community if you wish... free of charge.

The terms of use for the community and forums are as follows:
There will be no flaming, bashing, or bullying of any member on the forum boards.
If you have a concern, you are required to pm one of the forum admins and let them know, do not bring it to the boards!  I have zero tolerance for drama and will delete your account from the community and forums if you cannot play nice!

There are things that I have made (tags, web sets tutorials etc...) offered inside the community free of charge, all are for personal use only (no commercial use) unless stated otherwise. The one exception to this rule are some of the tubes I make for the community.  The terms of of use will clearly be stated for each item that are offered.  The images posted by members are there's and there's alone do not take them unless they have given permission for you to do so.

As with the membership area, sign in and password information is for one person only.  Your ip is logged and if you are caught logging in from too many ips your account will be locked while an investigation is done. If you are found to be sharing your log in and password information with others your account will be cancelled no matter what membership type you have signed up for (free community or paid).

Failure to abide by any of the terms above will result in your account to the community and forum being terminated without refund and all licenses to use any images (purchased, downloaded or saved) revoked.
