Terms of Use
The-Condor Textures Packs License
You, as a user of any The-Condor resources, accept any and all liability that may arise from such use.
By downloading, storing, or using any stock or resources from The-Condoryou are agreeing to accept the following guideline rule of this license.
---------------------------------------------------------
Guideline: Free for noncommercial
You are allowed to use The-Condor; textures, photos, and other resources 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 our stock in such indirectly commercial projects.
Guideline: Not limited to DA;
Noncommercial use is not limited to DA; you may use The-Condor textures in your noncommercial projects outside of DA as long as you follow all the guidelines [such as Credit and Notification].
Guideline: Notification;
When you use a The-Condor textures item on DA we ask that you do us the courtesy of notifying The-Condor. We prefer you leave a comment on the stock item you used inside our gallery, or leave a comment on our front page.
When you use a The-Condor textures outside DA you are required to notify The-Condor of such use. By email, DA note, or by other means. Include all applicable links.
Guideline: Credit;
When you use a The-Condor textures item 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 The-Condor textures 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 [as we understand DA's policy on the issue]... The-Condor does not require you to credit us if you post art that uses our work on DA, however we request that you do credit us so that other artists can find the stock you used.
When you use a The-Condor texture outside DA you are required to credit The-Condor in a clear and visible manner. You are also required to link back to The-Condor.
Guideline: Commercial use is prohibited;
You are explicitly prohibited from putting The-Condor textures to commercial use without prior permission. Using a The-Condor texture item or items in a commercial project without expressed permission from The-Condor, is copyright infringement!
If you would like to use The-Condor textures in a commercial project, you may negotiate with the The condor to obtain their permission and a commercial use license.
A Producer holds control of the copyright of any stock he/she made for The-Condor , and so a The-Condor may decline your request for commercial use of his/her stock. The details of a commercial use license are decided by you and by The-Condor.
These details include the scope of use allowed and any fees required. As part of any agreement a Producer is free to request a fee in the form of a royalty, a product demo, explicit credit, or any fee that the Producer wishes. A Producer may also decline to take any fee, and may issue you a license without charge--this is normally the case in past experiences.
If you know who the Producer of any stock item you wish to use is, please note their DA account or e-mail them directly to ask about a commercial use license.
If you need to identify the Producer of any stock item(s), check the branding on each item. The newest branding generation contains a "this item produced by" tag near the top and a link to the Producer. The past generation of branding has a "contributed by" tag near the bottom with a link to the Producer... If the stock has none of that information, then send a note to The-Condor account with the titles of any stock item(s) and The-Condor will direct you to the proper Producer... If a Producer does not answer your note or emails within a reasonable amount of time, note Resurgere to explain and The-Condor will connect you to the Producer as soon as possible.
Several examples of uses considered to be commercial projects follow, but besides these there are many other uses considered to be commercial projects, so if you have any confusion about whether or not your project could be considered a commercial project please contact The-Condor and inquire. Better safe than sorry. And now the examples:
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 the Producer's permission beforehand.
Guideline: Redistributing is prohibited;
You are explicitly prohibited from redistributing The-Condor images in any way designed for reuse. You must not offer any The-Condor images for sale or sub-license without the clear permission of The-Condor.
This also means you may not release brush sets, 3d textures, or any other resources meant for reuse which are based on The-Condor stock without special permission. For that permission note the The-Condor.
Guideline: What is and is not stock;
Any The-Condor resources meant as stock items and meant for your use will be clearly marked as such and will be in The-Condor or Stock sections of DA, or sometimes in the The-Condor scrapbook.
The-Condor IDs, package cover images, and branding tags do not count as stock resources--those are The-Condor marketing tools, and you should not use them as stock. Use of the The-Condor logo is also prohibited, as it is a marketing tool we have had since The-Condor opened and we are very sensitive about it's use.
Guideline: No false claims;
Only The-Condor made a stock item may claim to have created it.
You are explicitly prohibited from displaying an unedited The-Condor 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 The-Condor stock you are required to truthfully inform them that it is a The-Condor stock item.
In Closing;
The-Condor reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time without notice. Changes will be published here, in this journal, so check back often or monitor it through your devwatch.
The-Condor s also reserve the right to revoke this License on the stock items they personally produced. They can do this as they will, for whatever reason they see fit. It is, after all, their work.
