Thank
you for shopping at Esprit Decor: Textures and More
All of
my textures are sold with full permissions, but if
you experience any difficulty, please feel free to
IM me. Please also take a few moments to familiarize
yourself with my copyright policies located at the
end of this note.
-------------------------------------------
INDIVIDUAL TEXTURE SET INFO
-------------------------------------------
Many of my texture sets have information available
prior to purchase. You can get a copy of my store
policies and individual texture set info by touching
(left clicking upon) the floor navigation wedge
directly in front of a texture display. This will
pop-up a notecard on your screen which you can then
read and discard or save to your inventory.
-------------------------------
ABOUT OUR VENDORS
-------------------------------
Our new vendors offer more versatility for your
specific shopping needs. The top vendor displays the
current texture and cycles through each of the
others in its set one at a time with a simple
left-click or "touch." The smaller vendor below
houses the entire set.
*
Buying Individual Textures - Pay the vendor
displaying the current texture. Right-click and
select "Pay." The vendor will prompt you for the
amount displayed with the texture.
*
Buying Texture Sets - Pay the vendor which reads
"PAY Here For Full Set." The amount will be
displayed when you Right-Click and select "Pay." The
set will be placed in your inventory in its own
folder that will likely appear toward the top of
your inventory list.
---------------------------------------------------------------
WHY NO RETURNS - NO
EXCEPTIONS POLICY?
---------------------------------------------------------------
All Esprit Decor textures are both copy- and
transfer-enabled and thus there is no way for you to
"return" any of them. No returns, no refunds, no
exchanges and no exceptions is the policy we've had
to adopt. If you are unhappy with a texture or a
set, please IM or email me - SALOME STRANGELOVE -
and I will try to address your concerns in a manner
that will be satisfactory to us both.
Why
did we choose to make our textures copy- and
transfer-enabled? In order to make our textures
viable for builders and designers, those individuals
must be able to resell their work and they can't do
that with restricted textures. It was a compromise
to do what was best for the larger customer base.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BULK ORDERS, DISCOUNTS &
CUSTOM PACKAGES
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulk
Orders are welcome. If you want 5 or more sets,
please contact me for a discount on your order.
Discounts range from 10% to 25%.
Custom
bundles are available for existing content only and
may not be included with custom design orders. You
will need to have your list ready prior to
requesting a custom bundle which may include
anywhere from 25 to 100 textures of your choice. All
custom bundles must be quoted on an individual basis
and generally incur a modest one-time assemblage
fee.
Custom
textures / Coordinating textures for individual
projects are sometimes considered depending on my
free time and the complexity of the job. Feel free
to IM or email and I'll let you know if it's
something in my range. Prices are quoted on an
individual basis. I reserve the right to resell any
custom created texture unless we agree otherwise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL TEXTURE INFO:
SEAMLESS, SIZE, TRANSPARENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEAMLESS -- Most fabric & floor textures are
completely seamless, while wall textures are,
generally, Left-Right seamless only. Specialty
textures like doors and/or windows may not be
seamless at all. If you need information regarding
whether or not a texture is seamless, please inquire
prior to purchase. You may wish to note that even
though seamless textures will generally tile nicely,
some may produce unnatural patterns. For this reason
you should always browse and/or ask questions before
you buy. That said, I never produce a bad texture
knowingly and if one texture is problematic I
appreciate a heads-up so that I can evaluate it.
SIZES
-- Most Esprit Decor textures are provided at either
512x512, 350x350, 256x256 or 256x512, although there
are several exceptions to this. If you have any
texture size concerns, please inquire prior to
purchase. NONE OF MY TEXTURES ARE LARGER THAN
512x512. Some textures look better on larger prims
and others on smaller prims. That is simply the
nature of textures. Custom resizes may be available
for some textures at 35L$ per texture ($25L + $10L
for the upload fee) depending on the quality of the
source texture and whether or not I retained it on
my hard drive.
TRANSPARENT TEXTURES -- Some SLers experience
problems with transparent textures, especially on
sphere or hollowed surfaces. Please be aware of this
before purchasing an opaque or transparent texture.
There are glass textures provided in the free
bundle. You can use these to discern if transparent
textures will suit your needs. Transparent textures
are generally provided as a short-cut to using the
Transparency option on the Edit Objects > Texture
tab or when you only want part of the texture to be
invisible (ie: window panes are invisible, but
window frames at full setting).
----------------
BARTERING
----------------
Occasionally I will trade textures for other game
items. Feel free to inquire regarding trades.
----------------------------
CROSS PROMOTION
----------------------------
Designers: If you use my textures in the creation of
your houses, furniture, or other items, let me know;
I'm always open to cross-promotion.
----------------------------------------
OBJECTS FOR SALE IN-STORE
----------------------------------------
Note:
Furniture and/or objects for sale in the shop may be
mine or on display from other merchants who use my
textures on their wares. If you have questions
regarding these items, please contact the individual
creators directly.

FEEDBACK
--------------
I
welcome feedback; please let me know your input
and/or wish lists for future textures.

COPYRIGHT
-----------------
By
purchasing an Esprit Decor Texture or Texture Set
you are agreeing to abide by the usage outlined in
our Copyright Policy.
All
Esprit Decor textures are sold with full Second Life
permissions, but that does not mean they are
licensed for all uses.
ED
textures may not be resold, or retouched/manipulated
and resold under any circumstance. Likewise, ED
textures may not be given away free on their own or
as part of a package deal.
Obviously, you may use these textures on all your
personal projects. Builders, clothes, and furniture
designers are free to use textures they purchase
directly in my store in the construction of their
wares which can then be sold to others. However,
these textures may not be resold or given away to
other parties on their own, or as part of another
transaction. If you give/sell an object my texture
should not be accessible off that object for the
buyer to use individually (ie - the buyer should not
be able to take my texture from your item into their
own inventory or save it to their hard drive). In
circumstances where you feel this will inhibit your
ability to place a sale, please let me know. I am
always happy to create a custom package
builders/designers can offer to clients so that they
will not have to purchase multiple sets.
I know
that I can't completely stop customers from sharing
with their friends and I have no desire to police SL
for people who do so, but I ask that you please
limit your sharing and encourage your friends to
purchase a set if they like my textures. If you give
away my textures you are doing so without my
permission and violating our store copyright policy.
Esprit
Decor is committed to protecting and respecting the
copyrights of others as well as our own.
Many
of my textures are created from scratch based on
patterns I've reconstructed from outside resources.
Some are retouched from personal scans and royalty
free photo content, and still others are manipulated
textures from bundled sources that permit their
images for such use.
If you
see a texture that you believe is based on a
protected image, please notify me. Likewise, I hope
that if you see textures of mine for sale at other
locations you will let me know. However, keep in
mind that texture stores like mine likely pull from
similar sources and it's possible for us to end up
with similar textures through no violation of
copyright or theft. If there's a particular texture
all over the place, it is likely from a royalty-free
CD or source and not a case of stealing, so please
give myself and others the benefit of the doubt when
inquiring.
I
would much rather make textures than deal with
grumpy copyright issues, so please be respectful of
what you find in my store. Time and care was
involved in the quality of these images.
This
Notecard is occasionally updated. Please check back
for the most up-to-date version of this info card.
We
reserve the right to alter or amend these policies
at any time.
