Site Rules is split into two parts: (1) Website Operations and Rules, and (2) Terms of Use. The first is a plain English explanation of how we work and what we expect and the latter is the legaleeze. Please refer here if you have any questions on any of these or contact us if you have further questions or need clarification.

Let's start with the basics: common courtesy and decency. This is a family oriented website and as such should be governed by a sense of common courtesy and common decency. Its fine to make constructive comments or funny comments about someone's work, but it's not fine to be insulting, pejorative or defamatory. This is not an adult site, so please do not attempt to post adult content. We review every scrapbook that is posted and will not accept content that in our opinion is not appropriate, in good taste, or is otherwise offensive. Of course, we will all try to obey the laws and while doing so, have FUN in posting and sharing our scrapbooks and memories. We welcome people of all nations, races and faiths to participate in Scrapbook Flair and welcome your suggestions on how to improve our community.

This section covers the operating rules for the site. If you have questions beyond this, please refer first to the FAQs section (frequently asked questions) in the lower menu. Within these rules and throughout this website are links (hypertext links) that look like this: Site Rules and will take you to that named section when clicked.

MEMBERSHIP - The purpose of a ScrapbookFlair Membership is to be able to create and share scrapbooks with your friends, family, colleagues or anyone you like and do so in an organized way through our website community and within the ethical bounds of the community. Occasionally, people join for Memberships for other purposes or purposes that may not be in the best interest of the community and these Members may be deactivated and removed at any time at the sole discretion of ScrapbookFlair.com.

COST OF MEMBERSHIP - The Scrapbook Flair Basic Membership offers free software and many free services. Once you Join for your free Basic membership, you are given 10 MB of free storage space (up to 250 scrapbook pages). You have the opportunity to upgrade your membership at any time in order to buy additional space as you need it. You can see how much space you have left from your Home Page under Change My Settings. In the Scrapbook Flair Community there are also opportunities to (1) upgrade your membership to enjoy many additional features. Click here for details. (2) get links to templates and backgrounds from other scrapbookers. Click here to go to our MarketPlace to view products offered by members on our site. (3) additional products/services that will be offered over time. For services or artwork where a fee is involved, that fee will be clearly marked, otherwise the service is free. We encourage members to buy our additional services as it provides us with the funds to offer and grow the free services.

MEMBERSHIP AGE REQUIREMENTS - At ScrapbookFlair.com, there is no minimum age requirement. However, we require anyone under 18 must join with a parent or legal guardian’s consent and that parent/guardian will have access to your scrapbooks, messages and files at all times, until you turn 18. To enable this, (1) for anyone under 18 who is joining as a Member, we require your birthday as well as the email address and approval of the parent or legal guardian at the time you join, (2) we provide user name and password access to your parent/guardian so they can monitor any and all aspects of your correspondence or involvement on the site from any computer. It is then up to the parent/guardian to monitor the young person’s activity. This access terminates the day after the Members 18th birthday and the Member will have the option of choosing a new User Name and Password. As parents ourselves, we thought this was the most practical policy in terms of allowing young people to share the joys of scrapbooking while enabling their parents/guardians to ensure that nothing bad (or inconsistent with the parent’s/guardian’s wishes) happens as a result of the young person's participation on ScrapbookFlair.com.

PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE - At ScrapbookFlair.com, there are several ways you can share your scrapbooks and ideas with others; but put succinctly: you can share your scrapbooks with exactly who you want, when you want. When you upload a scrapbook using Scrapbook Flair software, you are asked to 'choose privacy for this scrapbook' - whether this scrapbook should be Public or Private. If you choose Public, then it can be viewed throughout the site and in all the Galleries you choose to post it in. You can change the galleries at any time or make a public scrapbook private at any time.

If you choose Private, you are asked: 'Private to Me Only' or 'Private to My List.' If you choose private to my list, you can then share it with an unlimited number of Lists: friends, family, colleagues, or just one other person - all you need is their email address. Your ScrapbookFlair.com Friends are also one of your lists; see below. You can also have scrapbooks that are only for you - so you can review them in private. You can also change your privacy settings for any of your scrapbooks at any time.

LISTS, FRIENDS, & FANS As a Member on ScrapbookFlair.com, you can have any number of lists of people with whom you want to share your scrapbooks, and you have a special list called your "Friends". Friends must be other Members of Scrapbook Flair and you must approve each other as Friends. Any time one of your Friends posts a scrapbook, it will show up in your Message Center. From time to time you will also get a message that someone has become your Fan. Any site member is entitled to become the Fan of another Member. That entitles you to see any of the public Scrapbooks put out by that Member.

YOUR HOME PAGE Once you Join as a Member, you will immediately receive a Home Page. On subsequent sessions, after you Sign-In, you can always go to your Home Page by clicking on My Home in the Upper Menu. As the name implies, your Home Page is the front entrance to all your scrapbooks and accordingly, should be your expression of yourself. It contains many things including scrapbooks that you have chosen to display from your own and others. It also shows a pictorial list of your Friends and Fans. Your Home Page can be customized by changing the background and highlight colors under Change My Settings

MISSTATEMENTS What are misstatements you ask? It’s the name we’ve given to scrapbooks or single pages where balloon text is used to put words in people’s mouths, or thoughts in their heads. Since there’s no way to know what a person was actually saying or thinking, we assume all these things are incorrect and therefore have generalized by calling them Misstatements. Misstatements have their own unique wit and charm to them, so we’ve given them their own gallery and even their own Hall of Fame. All in all, misstatements speak for themselves, and that having been said; any resemblance of persons appearing anywhere on ScrapbookFlair.com to people in real life, living or dead, is purely coincidental and the owners and operators of ScrapbookFlair.com assumes no liability for any content that is posted by 3rd party Members. If ScrapbookFlair.com receives a report about one of a Member's scrapbook(s), claiming it is defamatory, libelous or in violation of some laws to that effect, we reserve the right to suspend the display of this scrapbook until the challenge can be resolved. Should this occur the Member will be contacted directly and asked for an explanation. In all cases, the decision to display a scrapbook will be in the sole discretion of ScrapbookFlair.com, to be superseded only by a court ruling.

VOTING /\ TOP 20 /\ SCRAPBOOK/WEEK'S FUNNIEST SCRAPBOOK /\ HALL OF FAME /\ FEATURED SCRAPBOOKS

VOTING. If you are posting scrapbooks, you now have the option to turn voting on or off. If you want to compete for the various awards, you need to have your voting switched on. On is the default mode.

Once a Member has signed in, they can vote for scrapbooks by clicking on a scrapbook thumbnail and going to the scrapbook's Detail Page. At the bottom of the Scrapbook will be your voting range of 1 - 10 (10 being best). By voting for a scrapbook, your vote will be counted on a cumulative basis with other Members. You can only vote once for each scrapbook (once you vote for a scrapbook, the voting range goes away - so if you don't see a voting range, either you've already voted for it or you are not signed in). Members who have registered with invalid email addresses are not eligible to vote and may have their voting privileges suspended. Latest scores appear on a real-time basis on the scrapbook Detail Page and in the scrapbook thumbnail captions. Members can vote more than once for a scrapbook, if that additional vote(s) is in a Challenge or Contest -- but only using the Challenge voting system (and you can only vote once in each challenge). It is prohibited to create multiple memberships for people other than yourself for the purpose of increasing Voting or Challenge scores or to vote the accounts of others as it is simply not fair. Please respect your fellow members and adhere to the rule: for each scrapbook, one vote per member.

CONSISTENT LOW VOTING. It is discourteous and also inappropriate to give consistently low votes (3 or less) to most scrapbooks, particularly if they are all the same Member's pages. If you really don't like someone's work, better to adhere to the adage: better to say nothing, please. In any case, consistent low voting is prohibited by the Site Rules as it discourages creativity and you can lose your membership over it – please don't do it.

TOP 20. For every scrapbook, we recalculate its score on a real-time basis. In the Top 20 galleries, the scrapbooks with the Highest Rank (highest score) and Most Views (highest number of views), are resequenced at least once an hour based on the latest votes.

SCRAPBOOK/WEEK'S FUNNIEST SCRAPBOOK. At the end of every week, the Scrapbook and the Funniest scrapbooks with the highest score per Member for the preceding 7 days will be made Scrapbook of the Week, and Week's Funniest Scrapbook. Only scrapbooks submitted in that 7 day period are eligible. Each week ends Sunday night @ 11:59 pm EST and the new winners are posted sometime early Monday morning. These appear on the ScrapbookFlair.com Home Page.

HALLS OF FAME. The weekly winners of Scrapbook of the Week and Week's Funniest Scrapbook automatically end up in their corresponding Hall of Fame. These appear on the main Galleries page.

EDITOR'S CHOICE. On a regular basis, the Editors of ScrapbookFlair.com will select a scrapbook that's really unusual, unique, clever or just plain fun! Editor's Choice scrapbooks appear on the main Galleries page and have their own Hall of Fame.

CHALLENGES. Any member can start a Scrapbook Flair Challenge. It is the challenge owner's responsibility to manage the challenge by providing detailed challenge requirements and setting the time frame. The challenge owner is responsible to remove any pages that do not meet the requirements. Completed challenges are the property of Scrapbook Flair.

CHALLENGES REQUIRING COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL. If you wish to create a challenge that requires the use of someone else’s (other than your own) copyrighted material, you must have permission in advance from the copyright owner and provide us with: (1) a copy of the written permission, (2) contact information so that we may verify the permission. You as the challenge owner are responsible for obtaining that permission and forwarding it to the following email address: CopyrightClearance@ScrapbookFlair.com. We will promptly validate your clearance and enable your Challenge as soon as the permission is verified (NOTE: this is for your legal protection as well as ours).

SPONSORED CHALLENGES. A Sponsored Challenge is any challenge that includes a free kit or gives away a prize to the winners. All Sponsored Challenges must be approved by Scrapbook Flair and will require compensation. Please contact us at support@scrapbookflair.com if you would like to sponsor a challenge.

OWNERSHIP & COPYRIGHTS. Simply put, any scrapbooks you post should contain your own copyrighted material that either you have created, received for free (like free artwork from ScrapbookFlair downloads), or purchased / licensed or legitimately received free from another source. If ScrapbookFlair.com receives a report about a scrapbook, challenging its authenticity or alleging copyright infringement, we reserve the right to suspend the display of this scrapbook until the challenge can be resolved. Should this occur with a Member's scrapbook, the Member will be contacted directly and asked for an explanation. In all cases, the decision to display a scrapbook or artwork (backgrounds, embellishments and/or templates) will be in the sole discretion of ScrapbookFlair.com, to be superseded only by a court ruling. We take copyrights and digital piracy seriously and in every case of a challenge, ScrapbookFlair.com will try to do the right thing according to the copyright laws of the United States. Any artwork offered for free by Scrapbook Flair has been purchased or legitimately obtained for the express purpose of free distribution and a designer has been paid or otherwise compensated in exchange for those rights. SCRAPLIFTING: As it is an accepted industry practice to scraplift (use another’s design as inspiration with proper credit), we support this policy with the following conditions: (1) the owner of the artwork or kit should be notified of its usage, and (2) the appropriate credit be provided in the Design Credits for that page. (3) The design should be used as inspiration only and not copied exactly. Members should not scraplift designs that are available for sale without the written permission of the designer.

Posted Content. SFC reserves the right to remove any posted material (scrapbooks, images, graphics, etc) at its discretion for any reason at any time.

Non-Solicitation. The Scrapbook Flair Community is dedicated to providing our Members with the most enjoyable environment possible. A significant number of Members have asked us to minimize on-site solicitations and subsequently, we structured the Scrapbook Flair Community as a commercially restricted site. Solicitation for commercial business within the Community site is forbidden with the exception of certain designated areas such as: Display Advertising, the MarketPlace, Sponsored Challenges or other designated Advertising programs. Areas restricting solicitation include (but are not limited to): Scrapbook Detail pages, Personal Home pages, Forums, Blogs, Groups, Challenges and the Member message system which should not be used for commercial solicitation, or spam email of any kind. Also all Member's Privacy should be respected per our Privacy Policy. Together these policies should minimize intrusive commercialization while still allowing for Design Credits: [EXAMPLE: If you are a designer, it's fine to describe your work and show examples of your designs in your pages and also give the name of another site where it's available in Design Credits; however please see separate rules regarding Links. It is not acceptable to discuss prices, discounts, promotions, or send members from the community site, etc.]. Members violating these rules on non-solicitation may be personally and/or have the corresponding business suspended or banned from the community. If you have questions about your options on promoting a business or would like to propose a commercial partnership with Scrapbook Flair, please click here.
