**PLEASE NOTE** The Downloads area is currently being rebuilt to accommodate the new system. The process of rebuilding is expected to take several weeks**
Scrapbook-Bytes.com has always offered its members’ free downloads to encourage and assist members in creating their digital scrapbook pages. SBB hosts the largest collection of free digital scrapbooking elements on the internet. Subscribing to the Downloads area of SBB gives you access to many more elements that are available in addition to those accessible to registered users. Currently (as of 12/05) annual subscriptions are available for a cost of US$15 from the STORE. This cost is to assist in offsetting the huge cost of bandwidth and storage of these items – it is not a charge for the elements themselves.
***PLEASE NOTE***
All of the items in the Downloads gallery are free for PERSONAL USE ONLY, unless the Terms of Use for an individual item indicate otherwise.
YOU MAY NOT allow others to use your user name and password to access the Subscribers Area. Subscriptions are valid for the purchasing member ONLY. You may access the area on another computer as long as you will be the only recipient of the elements.
YOU MAY NOT share direct links – that is any link with the .zip extension, to any item available in the Download gallery to registered members or subscribers, with any other person or persons by way of email, website or any other means. This is called HOTLINKING and is NOT permitted under any circumstances. Subscribers and members proved to be sharing links in this manner will have their access revoked and membership terminated. YOU MAY share a link to the website www.scrapbook-bytes.com or the Downloads Area http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/chat/local_links.php or a specific category for others to view the content.
YOU MAY NOT redistribute any files in the Downloads area available to registered members or subscribers, by any manner including email, e-lists, CD or DVD compilations etc. Subscribers and members proved to be sharing files of any download material in this way will have their access revoked and membership terminated.
