You are welcome to download and use the foregoing background sets under the following conditions:

1. You may take them for personal use only. You may use them on your website, either entirely or in part.

2. Neither these sets nor parts of these sets are to be included in any graphics collection nor in a collection on CD or disk for sale.

3. No portion of these sets is to be changed. If you wish any changes, email duckie@firebird-ent.com and I shall do my best to accommodate you.

4. Should you desire a custom set(s), please contact me via email and I shall do my best to create it for you.

5. In return for downloading and use of these sets or parts thereof, the "Duckie's Background Sets" button which matches the set must be shown on the same page as the set or part of the set used and linked to http://firebird-ent.com/fbsets/fbbkgrndsets.html.

6. Do not link any of these graphics to your own website! That is bandwidth theft! Always download the creations to your own computer, giving proper credit to their creator.

An original thought or idea should be respected by others on the Web. One should not steal the work of another and place it in a collection as if it were one's own. These graphics are the result of the efforts of their creator and, although placed here for free use on one's personal web site, they are not to be used illegally. I will continue to share my work with others as long as they are safe from depredations and plagiarism, as they are protected by the copyright of Firebird Productions. These graphics shall not be adapted to one's own needs, nor be recreated.

Should one wish to use any of these graphics for a business web site, permission from the creator of the graphics and copyright holder must first be granted and payment of the necessary license fee or logo and link-back fee must be paid. To think one can simply use "copyright by" and be done with it is sheer fallacy, as the copyright means it cannot be used for any purpose without license and permission.
