AMI Terms

2. The correct artist's © must be clearly displayed on all creations using their images. This must be clear and legible. You may use your own watermark, or reference to yourself as in (tagged by, sig by, tag by) logo markings, however you may not claim a © "your name", nor may you place your website URL on any tags/sigs made. Website banners are an exception to this and may carry your URL. Artist URL is strongly encouraged on your tags and creations, however if it is a G rated site and the artist site has any adult content you may exlcude the URL.

3. You may use the initials system to identify your license on creations. Use the first two letters of your first name and the first two letters of your last name, and include AMI either before or after your initials. Example: For the name Jane Smith, her license initials would be "AMIJASM" or "JASMAMI". Unique License numbers are available upon request only. To request a unique license number please contact Customer Service. Your initials or AMI license number must be clearly displayed on all creations using AMI artist images.

4. No mixing of artist's is allowed. If using an AMI artist image in a creation you cannot use another artist's work. You can however use credit free stock photography, your own made elements and other non-royalty elements.

5. Absolutely no AMI images are to be used in any endeavor that would be considered by AMI as profiting, bartering, breaking even, exchange of normally profitable services or the selling of in any way.

6. Nudity may be covered by embellishment elements such as sparkles, text, bars or shapes. Clothing may not be added or cloned without prior written approval from AMI. If you would like to submit a clothing cover up please send an example
HERE for consideration.

7. The integrity of artist images must remain intact at all times in creations made. Close up profiles of images are acceptable. No heads may be cropped off or switched at any time. You may not only use a face from an image alone. Blends are allowed as long as there is at least one close up image on the creation.

8. Incredimail stationary, desk top themes, calendars are allowed. However you must display the artist © and license number on the actual creation, and placing the same credit on the stationary, desk top theme or calendars themselves.

Jacque,
        Yes you can c&p my reply for your managers group, thank you for
asking.  As far as any Artists requiring...we feel it is important to
keep the same TOU for each Artist.  We feel and know this makes it
easier for everyone versus trying to remember who allows what and
where.  We also make up for this by having links to the Artists site
from our main site.  In AMI's MSN group people generally use the urls,
but the mass majority of tags in there are Suzanne Woolcotts, who I
believe the closest she comes to nudity are little mermaids.  As much
as I, or any of the others from AMI are in there, we're not "in there"
if that makes any sense.  We have managers that are in charge of
keeping things going and on the up and up.
Thank you again for your inquiry.
I hope you have a good day and a fabulous weekend!
Jennifer

REVISION / CLARIFICATION OF TOU
Body: There has been a revision/clarification added to the Terms of Use #12. The newly added text is in " ".

12. Blank tags, stationary headers, desk top themes, etc. is strictly prohibited. All creations must have either a saying (for example a "snag tag") or a personalized name on them. "If creating a stationary side border, text is not required. However you must display the artist © and license number on the actual graphic using the image(s) and a credit with the same information on the stationary footer".

Hope this helps to clear up any confusion!

This is in reference to stationary's like the one I am using now. Text is not required in the side border. Please remember, this term has NOT changed, it has simply been clarified.

Thanks everyone. If there are any questions, please feel free to ask.
