1. General

The terms of use are valid for the content of the internet website www.iconfriends.de as well as for all sub domains belonging to this domain (in the following referred to as "iconfriends") between the operator of iconfriends and the users of iconfriends. With the use of iconfriends the user expressly declares to be in agreement with the following terms of use and is bound to the adherence of these terms of use. The regulations of use are listed in the following points, sorted by "permitted" and "not permitted". Should you have any queries or doubts, please contact me (contact details can be found in the imprint).

1.1 Permitted use

It is permitted...

a) to use the graphics for private and commercial purposes under consideration of these terms of use.

b) to make use of the graphics in communication platforms of the internet such as forums, blogs, guestbook’s, chat and shout boxes etc. This can take place via direct linking or via previously downloading and subsequent uploading. It must be noted that a permanent integration (installation) in such communication systems is not referred to. The following point 1.1c concerning permanent installations must be adhered to.

c) to download the graphics and install them in a permanent online system (i.e. forum, blog or homepage). In such a case a permanent and visible link to the source homepage (backlink) is required! (To do so, make use of the following link: http://www.iconfriends.de).
An installation means an integration of the smiley’s through an administrator so that for example users can select them directly via a menu, or that the smiley is automatically displayed through typing the emotion-abbreviation. In such a case the user would not have to "directly link" i.e. upload the graphic for every single use as he would receive it via the current platform. This concerns online systems such as: forums, blogs, guestbook’s and other communication and presentation platforms on the internet.
If someone finds a simple text-link non-decorative as a source, one can make use of one of the below mini-banners. This banner-image must then be linked with "http://www.iconfriends.de".

d) to download the graphics and make use of them in chat programs, in e-mails, e-mail programs and office documents. As far as a recipient shows interest, it is expressly desired to provide the recipient with the source.

e) to use graphics as a permanent decoration of the own website (ornaments are suggested). This however may not be solved with direct linking; the graphics must be placed in the own web space system and as under point 1.1c, must be linked with a visible link (backlink) or the banner-image of the source homepage (www.iconfriends.de).

1.2 Not permitted use

It is not permitted...

a) to download the graphics and offer them via the own web space and to directly distribute them without adhering to the defined conditions under 1.1. This right is reserved by the author.

b) to alter the graphics in any shape or form, according to copyright, and/or to present it as your own work.

c) to integrate the graphics as a set in a forum, blog, homepage or other permanent present online system without providing the link to the source (backlink) (see point 1.1c).

2. Copyrights

3. Warranty and claim actions of the author and the website operator

The author and the website operator cannot warrant that the graphics will always be available. In the case of restructurings of the website or with name changes of files a graphic-link can become invalid. This must be considered when making use of direct linking. The links must be checked regularly and in short intervals and updated as necessary. The author and operator of this website cannot be held accountable for an omitted link. The liability is herewith lifted.

4. Changes to the terms of use

iconfriends reserves the right of changes to the terms of use, i.e. with alterations to the offer for implementing modified legal requirements. The user is therefore obliged to inform themselves on this page every four weeks to see if he continues to agree to the possible modified terms of use. If an agreement does not take place a further use of the icons must stop.
