ACOT Message Board

Good Morning,
I was asking about designer TOS info over on the digiscrap forum, and it has come to my attention that "some" designers put there little tags (i.e PU.CU/S4H) on their previews but not all. It is frustrating to purchase a kit only to find out that it's PU ONLY. Or having to search and search for a designers blog or website to get info.

I have a small card design company and I often use elements from kits that I've purchased, and I'm crazy about designer TOS info, I would never use a PU only on a card, however it's pain painstakingly difficult to search each designer and it cost a lot of money for me to purchase a kit only to find out I can't use it, and not be reimbursed by my customer.

So, I was wondering, I've seen on several of my other sites, that they have a thread that has their designers listed with their TOS Info inside, all I have to do if look for the designers name and click, WALA! Lovely.

Is that something that could be done on ACOT?

Oh, I thought this was such a good idea

I'll post your question in the designer forum and see if they can help you out.

Thanks so much

That's more like something for Brandon isn't it? I know what she's talking about, in the shop there is a list of designers and you click them to see their TOU. So it would be a change for the shop really.

Terms of Use

You can also shoppe by S4H/S4O in the digi shoppe. Sometimes I forget to put my stuff in that catagory. But all mine is OK for what you're doing. If you ever have a question on terms always email the designer
I think we need to put something in the digi shop listing which designers offer this service.

I know, but no one seemed to be responding to her so I thought maybe the designers would see this and make it more visible in there packaging or something.

It was this one:



I won an honorable mention on one of my hybrid projects too, but I don't remember which.

In the mean time you can always do what Amy said - just pm the designer & ask! No 'search & search' for a separate website necessary, just a quick pm, they're all more than happy to answer questions, give advice, help w/specific products, etc., in my (admittedly very limited) experience!

Thanks Amy, I know I can always PM a designer, or email them, or look for their websites, I just thought it would be super easy to have it all in one spot. I've been away from ACOT for over 2 years, and all (most) of the designers have changed, I used to be familiar with alot of the designers TOS, now it's back to the drawing board I'm gonna go look around in your shop AGAIN, lol.

Sorry I didn't see your post until now. I'm looking into what we can do.

No problem, thanks so much!
