WHAT ARE YOUR RULES FOR USING YOUR PATTERNS? TOP
My copyright rules and rights reserved include my e-patterns, mailed patterns and free doodle patterns.
My rules are as follows:
Make items from patterns and sell the finished items only where you wish , whether it be local craft shows, auction sites, websites or co-op sites. You MUST give me designer's credit when selling your finished items. If I find a finished good used from my pattern without a designer credit I will notify you to change your listing and description, failure to do so will result in legal action and you will be banned from purchasing from Cotton Picken Prims.
No copying, sharing, trading of patterns allowed. This includes e-patterns as well as paper patterns.
You may not enlarge or shrink patterns without my written permission.
I DO NOT ALLOW finished goods made from my patterns to be advertised or pictured in national magazine ads. This includes any and all co-op ads for Country Sampler, Create and Decorate, and any and all online crafting ezines and any and all other printed magazines. Failure to abide by this rule will result in immediate banning from purchasing from Cotton Picken Prims and legal action will result.
No mass producing finished goods from my patterns. This means that you can not open up a production line of workers to make items from my patterns.
All patterns are copyrighted and all rights reserved on each and every pattern including the Free Doodles. Anyone not adhereing to my rules will be served notice of pending legal action. I do keep track of all FREE, REGULAR MAILED and E-PATTERNS sold on my site. I do visit all auction sites, co-ops, websites on occasion. I also subscribe to many magzines and online magazines...so in other words, I do watch my patterns closely.
All I ask is if you don't know when it comes to listing and using my pattern, just email me and ask. I'm a pretty easy going person and will consider all requests. *Ü*
