FETCH-A-SKETCH
USER AGREEMENT
This Agreement establishes
the legal terms under which visitors to www.Fetch-a-Sketch.com (the "Site") may
view and use the home improvement design drawings and related content (referred
to in this Agreement as "Designer Content") that is presented on the Site. This User Agreement is in addition to
the Designer Agreement that all persons providing Designer Content to the Site
have entered into. It is important
that you read this Agreement and indicate your acceptance of its terms by
selecting the "I Agree" box at the end of the Agreement. If you do not accept and agree to be
legally bound by these terms, do not select "I Agree" and do not download any
Designer Content.
1. The
Fetch-A-Sketch Site.
The Site is owned and
managed by Intellectual Property Sales, Inc. ("IPS"), to allow design
professionals to display their original design and concept drawings for
landscape design and other home improvement projects, and to allow individuals
and businesses to view and, for a fee, to download a copy of such Designer
Content, to be used only for the Permitted Uses defined below. Individuals and businesses who use the
Site are referred to in this Agreement as "users" or as "you."
2. Permitted Uses
All Designer Content is
owned or controlled by IPS. You
are free to view all Designer Content appearing on the Site. You may also purchase a non-exclusive
license to download a digital copy of one or more individual Designer Content
drawings and use the downloaded drawing (referred to in this Agreement as a
"Licensed Concept Drawing") for the following Permitted Uses:
(a) You may make one print copy of
the digital download of the Licensed Concept Drawing and use that print
Licensed Concept Drawing as a starting point to create, or to commission a duly
qualified and licensed design professional to create, the architectural and/or
construction drawings necessary to construct the home improvement project
depicted in the Licensed Concept Drawing.
(b) If you are a design professional,
you may include the print of the Licensed Concept Drawing among the design
concepts that you present to the public in connection with promoting your
professional services, but only subject to the prohibitions against removing
copyright notice and making false claims of authorship as provided in section
3(d) and 3(g) below.
(c) In connection with either of the
Permitted Uses described above, you may modify, edit, expand upon or otherwise
alter either the digital file or the print copy of the Licensed Concept Drawing
so as to create a Derivative Work under copyright law, and thereafter make one
print of that Derivative Work and use that print for any Permitted Use. All Derivative Works shall be included
within the term Licensed Concept Drawing as used elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. Prohibited
Uses
Any use of Designer
Content or of a Licensed Concept Drawing that is not a Permitted Use as defined
above violates this Agreement and constitutes copyright infringement. In particular, but without limitation,
you may not:
(a) create multiple digital or print
copies of any Licensed Concept Drawing;
(b) re-sell, sub-license,
distribute, publish or display Licensed Concept Drawings, except as
specifically allowed by one of the Permitted Uses. For example, a design professional may show a Licensed
Concept Drawing to a customer to illustrate the type of home improvement
project that design professional might undertake, but may not sell a copy of
that Licensed Concept Drawing or charge a fee for showing the Licensed Concept
Drawing to the customer;
(c) use any Licensed Concept Drawing
as part of a trademark, service mark or logo,
(d) remove, alter or obscure any
copyright notice, trademark or other legal rights designation from any place
where it is embedded in the Licensed Concept Drawing;
(e) use the Licensed Concept Drawing
in design template applications intended for resale, whether online or not,
including, without limitation, website templates and brochure design templates;
(f) use or display any
Licensed Concept Drawing on a website, through any telecommunications network
or by wireless transmission or by any other means now or hereafter created
other than by physical delivery of the print on which the Licensed Concept
Drawing resides;
(g) falsely represent that you are
the author of a Licensed Concept Drawing, but you may truthfully represent that
you are the author of any new, original elements added by you to a Licensed
Concept Drawing to create a Derivative Work.
4. Prices
for Licensed Concept Drawings.
Designer Content on the
Site is segregated into categories A, B and C. Further, digital downloads of Designer Content is offered at
different levels of resolution, namely, Standard Resolution (capable of yielding
a clear print up to __ "by __"), High Resolution (capable of yielding
a clear print up to __ "by __") and Maximum Resolution (capable of
yielding a clear print up to __ "by __"). The prices for digital download of Designer Content are
stated on the Order Page, and are subject to change.
5. Featured
Designer Referral Service.
(a) Certain of the design
professionals who have submitted Designer Content for display on the Site are
designated as Featured Designers and have chosen to participate in the Featured
Designer Referral Program. This
participation is noted on the corresponding Designer Content concept
drawings. If you desire to contact
any of these participating design professionals, you may send an email to us at
[email address], identify the Designer Content drawing whose creator you wish
to contact, identify the purpose or proposed project that you wish to discuss
with the Featured Designer, and we will forward your inquiry to that design
professional. You understand and
agree that it is solely the designer professional’s responsibility to contact
you regarding your inquiry, and IPS shall have no responsibility or obligation
other than to communicate your inquiry to the designated design professional.
(b) IPS makes no representation,
express or implied, concerning the qualifications, experience or licensed
status (if any) of any Featured Designer.
It is your sole responsibility to investigate the credentials of any
Featured Designer that you may consider hiring to confirm that the person or
company is qualified to perform the services in question, such as by inquiring
of the applicable contractor licensing boards, the local Better Business
Bureau, and similar resources.
6. Designer
Content For Conceptual Use Only
You understand and agree
that the Designer Content appearing on the Site, and Licensed Conceptual
drawings downloaded from the Site, are presented solely for the purpose of
illustrating concepts for home improvement projects. The Designer Content is not to scale, does not constitute and may not be used or
relied upon as working drawings,
construction drawings or any other form of drawings or plans suitable or
capable of being constructed or built.
If you desire to construct or install any home improvement project
illustrated by any Designer Content drawing, it is your responsibility to
purchase the Licensed Concept Drawing and thereafter to have a qualified
architect, contractor or other design professional prepare all required plans
and drawings and secure all permits and permissions required by all laws, regulations
and ordinances applicable to the project in question.
