The Web site from which you accessed this agreement (“the Web site”) is provided to you subject to the following conditions. These terms are in addition to any other terms governing access to the Web site. By visiting (in any manner) the Web site you accept these terms and conditions (the “Terms of Service”). Please read them carefully.

Zero Tolerance for Spam, Spammers

For spammers, here's some information just to be extra clear:

• We have a zero spam policy. That means we do not tolerate ANY spam or spammers.
• We share our blacklists, so in addition to being permanently banned from this site, spammers here risk being banned from literally hundreds of thousands of Web sites and servers.
• NO Web sites submitted by spammers will ever be listed at linkwaregraphics.com.
• Web sites submitted by spammers are banned indefinitely, and all referral links from spam sites are blocked indefinitely.
• We report all spammers.
• We will never visit or link to spam sites, link farm sites, or other spammers' sites.
• We actively block referral links from all link farm sites and spam sites.
• We save all spam submissions to provide to appropriate law enforcement to help prosecute spammers.

We help prosecute spammers.

Direct Linking to Images on This Server, aka “Hotlinking”

Due to people directly linking to images on this server to appear on their own websites, Linkware Graphics provides available images ONLY within downloadable ZIP files. This server is also configured to forbid anyone from linking to images at this website.

Images NOT within ZIP files are NOT freely available for use. Doing so is stealing and enforceable by law. Minimally, the website owner's ISP is notified who immediately takes the offender's website offline, potentially permanently suspending their service. See the Website Copyright Information for copyright information.

If you're not sure how to do download the permitted ZIP files, check out the Downloading Instructions page. Thank you.

Anyone or any website found in my server logs attempting to directly link to images on my server will be BANNED INDEFINITELY from accessing this website. (Yes, my server logs list individuals and websites who try, even though they fail!)

I wish I didn't have to be so firm about this, but unfortunately there are some who either don't realize the problems created by directly linking, aka “hotlinking,” they don't think they'll get caught, or even worse, they might not care about the impact on others.

In order to keep this website available and images available to the rest of the world, I've had to enforce these tougher rules.

Any Non-Human Visitors to the Web site shall be considered agents of the individual(s) who controls, authors or otherwise makes use of them. The access rights granted to you under the Terms of Service are non-transferable without the express written permission of the owner of the Web site.

Forbidden: Site Rippers, Mass Downloaders, Offline Browsers

Visitors may not, under any circumstances, use site rippers, offline browsers, site downloaders, or automated software to access or download anything from Linkware Graphics. It is forbidden to save entire pages to download the graphics, presets, or other materials from Linkware Graphics.

Note: Anyone using these types of software will be banned indefinitely from Linkware Graphics and potentially all sites owned or managed by SKDesigns.

Non-Human Visitors include, but are not limited to, Web spiders, bots, indexers, robots, crawlers, harvesters, or any other computer programs designed to access, read, compile or gather content from the Web site automatically.

Intentional collection, harvesting, gathering, and/or storing this Web site's email addresses is recognized as a violation of this agreement and expressly prohibited.

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

Each party agrees that any suit, action or proceeding brought by such party against the other in connection with or arising from the Terms of Service (“Judicial Action”) shall be governed by the law of the state of residence of the registered Administrative Contact (the “Admin State”) for the Web site as such laws are applied to agreements between Admin State residents entered into and performed entirely within the Admin State. You consent to the jurisdiction of federal and state courts within the Admin State. You consent to the venue in any action brought against him in connection with breaches of these Terms of Service. You consent to electronic service of process regarding actions under the above agreement.

Records of Visitor Use and Abuse

You consent to having your Internet Protocol address recorded. An email address may appear immediately below (the “Identifier”) if we suspect potential abuse. The Identifier is uniquely matched to your Internet Protocol address. Visitors agree not to use this address for any reason.

Visitors agree that harvesting, gathering, storing, transferring to a third party or sending any message(s) to the identifier constitutes an acceptance and subsequent breach of these terms of service.
