Anything offered in the above stated manner MUST have copyright information ( ŠPixelkins 2008) ON the image itself.
Having copyright info at the bottom of a page or on a page attached to the images isn't good enough.
The info needs to be viewable in the same window area as the images.
Even if YOU colored/tubed it.
Copyright info back to www.pixelkins.com is expected in the same manner as above for the outlines themselves.

**Trades**
Membership Trades
On occasion I trade memberships.
So, with that in mind..a few rules/guidelines.
If your site closes, then our trade is null and void.
It's not necessarily fair to me to allow you access to updates,
when I in return have none.
The same thing applies if you sell your site.
I didn't trade with your site's purchaser, I traded with you.
Also, I update regularly. I expect you to do so too.
If there are months that go by and you don't update,
don't expect access to Pixelkins.
When we traded, the trade was based on an "equal" trade.
If you offer "Special" Licenses for the members area, I expect those in trade also.
I do not offer any of these "Special Licenses" therefore, you are not limited to what you can tube.
I expect the same priveldges.
If I find that you are only updating your site with "As Is" Lines
I will probably contact you telling you I'd like to terminate the trade.
I understand the want/need to use other's "As Is" lines on occasion,
But more and more are only updating with these things.
Chances are I've already got a membership to 3 other places using the same lines.
How fair is that?
I know these seem harsh,
But, I've been "burnt" too many times now.
