Terms of Use:

This is a very popular topic! While James is very generous with what he allows his artwork used for, his usage guidelines must be followed exactly. If you have seen James' art being mis-used, please inform us at [email protected]. Unauthorized reproduction of James' art is not tolerated. We investigate and pursue all allegations and all situations of Copyright Infringement to the fullest extent the law allows.

Attention those who seek permission!

Please DO NOT e-mail us with your request, unless you seek to license James' artwork for profit. Those of you seeking to use James' art for free graphics (web sets, web page decoration, e-cards, sig tags, avatars, etc.) will find all the answers to your questions below. We simply do not have time to read and answer all e-mails on this topic. While we appreciate the gesture, it clogs up our inbox! Please see below for our usage instructions...

Our Art CAN Be Used For

 Web graphics, Web sets, Signature Tags & Stationery.

This is a popular category! James has been kind enough to allow the use of his art as web graphics that are non-profit and just for fun. But... there are several guidelines you must comply with to continue to use his artwork for these purposes. We always require a link back to us and a name credit similar to the following...

Web Graphics: For Dollz, Globes, Awards, and other graphics, we require a link and name credit to us under EACH creation EVERY time it is posted on-line. If you are allowing people to take these to use in other places, you must spell out to them that they must do this as well.

Web Sets: Non-commercial web sets ONLY. Each set must have our link and name credit visible on the first or 'home' page. We do not allow you to charge IN ANY WAY for sets made with James' art. Sites that are commercial in nature cannot use free web sets. They must instead purchase a set from: www.enchantingdesignz.com

Tubing: Unfortunately, we must ask that you not tube James' art. Unfortunately, tubing encourages the possibility of wide spread distribution without copyright credit, as well as severe distortion of James' images.

Signature Tags/Avatars: We do allow our artwork to be used for this purpose IF James has a name credit written on the actual signature as well as a clickable link underneath it. Each and every time that signature or avatar is posted somewhere, it MUST have the name credit and link visible. If you cannot guarantee this, then you cannot distribute the tags or avatars. You cannot make a profit in any way for these items. The only company with that permission is: www.enchantingdesignz.com

Stationery: You can use our artwork for the creation of non-profit stationery if you provide the name credit and clickable link within the body of the stationery so that anyone sending or receiving it will be able to see that James is the original artist and will be able to visit his web site by way of the link.

FINAL NOTE: Many artists are not as generous as James is about the usage of his artwork. If you cannot comply with any of the usage policies listed above, then don't use his artwork. As of right now, he has agreed to continue letting graphic artists use his work for these 'just for fun' projects, but if there continues to be violations, they will end up ruining it for everyone!

Our Art CANNOT Be Used For

For-Profit Usage, Logos, Etc.

James' art may NOT be used for any for-profit ventures or for use on any commercial web sites without a contract which has been approved and signed by James and his representative. Companies wishing to use one of James' images as a logo must contact us with the nature of their company. Please note, we do require a usage fee in order to allow the use of an image for the purposes of a logo, letterhead, business cards, ads, etc.

Usage On Commercial, For-Sale Products

Anyone wishing to use James' art on a product they plan to sell must contact us with the details of their proposed project at [email protected]. At that time we will review the project and decide if it is something we want to be a part of. If so, we will respond with a proposed contract and royalty rate. You may not use James' art on any commercial products or for-sale items unless you have a written and signed contract along with an agreed-upon royalty rate! We reserve the right to either accept or reject licensing offers at our sole discretion. For a complete and up to date list of licensed James Browne products, refer to our Licensing page, which includes links to separate sites.
