Hello and welcome to Pixels and Paint!
Pixels and Paint (I, us, we, my, our), owned by Margaret Goodwin, operates the websites pixelsandpaint.studio, pixelsandpaint.ca and pixelsandpaint.com.au.
I'm absolutely thrilled that you've stopped by to explore my artwork.
When you use and make purchases on our website, there are some important guidelines we’d like to share with you:
1. Intellectual Property:
All the wonderful artworks, images, graphics, and content you'll find on pixelsandpaint.studio are lovingly crafted and protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. They're the creative treasures of Margaret Goodwin, the artist and owner of pixelsandpaint.studio (with the exception of some public domain images where no claim of ownership is made).
Please keep in mind that reproducing, distributing, or using any of this content without our explicit permission is a no-go.
2. Artwork Purchase:
When you buy an item from Pixels and Paint, you're acquiring the physical piece itself. But just a quick reminder, all copyrights and reproduction rights continue to belong to the artist, Margaret Goodwin.
So, using the artwork for commercial purposes without Margaret's written permission is not allowed.
3. Personal Use:
Feel free to display the artwork you've purchased in your personal space and enjoy it for non-commercial purposes. But, if you're thinking about using it for anything commercial, promotional, or resale-related, please chat with Margaret first.
4. Custom Artwork:
If you've commissioned a custom piece from Margaret, the same copyright rules and restrictions apply. Commercial use is a no-no without explicit permission.
5. Modifications:
Just a little heads up, making changes, modifications, or creating derivative works based on the artworks you've bought needs a thumbs-up from Margaret first.
6. Unauthorized Use:
It's important to mention that any unauthorized use of our artworks or content could lead to some legal action – and nobody wants that! Let's keep it on the up-and-up.
7. Website Content:
While we do our best to provide accurate and up-to-date information on our website, we're only human and sometimes errors happen. So, if you spot something that doesn't seem quite right, please let us know.
8. Privacy:
Your privacy is super important to us. Be sure to review our Privacy Policy to understand how we handle your personal information – it's all about keeping your data safe.
9. Cookies (not the ones your dog loves!)
We just wanted to let you know that our website uses cookies to make your online experience as awesome as possible. By visiting Pixels and Paint, you're agreeing to use the essential cookies that help our site run smoothly.
Now, let's talk cookies for a moment. These little guys are like text files placed on your hard disk by a web page server. No need to worry, though, because they can't run programs or deliver any nasty viruses to your computer. Cookies are unique to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that gave you the cookie in the first place.
We might use cookies to collect, store, and keep track of information for statistical or marketing purposes in order to keep our website ticking. The good news is, you have the power to choose whether you want to accept or decline optional cookies.
But, here's the deal: there are some cookies that are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. You don't need to give your consent for these essential cookies because they always do their job seamlessly.
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that by accepting these required cookies, you're also allowing some third-party cookies into the mix. These could be used through third-party services integrated into our website, like a video display window provided by those third-party folks.
So, it's all about finding that balance that suits you best as you enjoy your time on our website. If you have any questions or concerns about cookies or anything else, feel free to reach out. We're here to make your visit to Pixels and Paint the best it can be!
